This Is Called Perfect Timing....NOT!!!
Talk about the moment you had been awaiting for a long time in your life and when the moment does arrive at your doorstep it does so at an inappropriate time!
And that's exactly what happened yesterday....with me and FFVIII.
*People who directly want to read my impressions of FFVIII can skip this spicy,funny pre-FFVIII obtaining part including my exams..
*I mentioned about my terminals in one of the previous blogs and how I wanted to score straight A+ in every subject (especially those of my interest like Maths,Chem,Physics). Yesterday (Saturday) our terminals began with the most dreaded paper (atleast in my view)- Botany. I have always slacked when it comes to Biology mostly because I hate it from the core of my heart but despite that it's a mandatory subject in our college.
Now here's the deal--I had Botany exam that afternoon and I hadn't prepared much for it. So I woke up a little early (if you call 9AM early that is). The exam was at 1:30 PM and I had approx 3 hours to prepare for it.So I sat down with the Botany book in my hands and my mind racing through all the morphological observations which made little sense to me.
It was around 10:30 AM that I decided to take a break. I know the importance of taking small breaks during study sessions and hence I decided to chill by watching some TV. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD IDEA!! NFL..nah...news about more terrorist threats to Mumbai..never...moronic soaps...NEVER EVER.....VH1's Richest Celebrities countdowns...OMG WTF NEVER EVER!!
Bored,I switched off the TV. I was on my way to continue with the Botany preparation when the bell rang. I opened the door expecting something ordinary to happen...
*the over-dramatic version*
AND LO...there he was standing at the threshold of my house. Yes! Wearing his SeeD uniform,his gunblade on his shoulders stood Squall. I couldn't believe my eyes. It really was him. Standing as bored and disinterested as he normally would look. He reached for his jacket and produced out a FFVIII PSOne CD.
I reached for it in slow-mo almost as if somebody had cast a "Slow" spell on me..I took the CD into my shaking hands and asked Squall,"Is this for me?" He frowned which translated into "Obviously". I said,"Thank you,dude". To which he said,"Whatever.."
*the over-dramatic version ends*
You know what the real version would have been like...just want to add up more spice..

Alright seriously the moment I had FFVIII in my hands, I forgot that I had terminals that afternoon. I forgot that I hadn't prepared much for the Botany test. I forgot I was even going to college that day. All because in my mind there was nothing besides playing FFVIII. Hooked up my PSone. Opened the FFVIII box,the CD's were in mint condition with absolutely no scratches
. Wouldn't want a KotOR repeat here again,would we?And so hence began the journey with another fantasy. I played I f***** played till my mom was shouting at the top of her voice. I went to the college unprepared forthe Botany exam BUT still managing to do way above my expectations in the end. I avoided all my friends on the way back to my home. When asked why I was in such a hurry, I simply said "I am going somewhere far...".
So here's what has happened between me and FFVIII so far. I played for a NON-STOP 7-hour gaming stretch. The last time I remember playing this long for any game was FFVII (14 hours in a day but that was during the summer holidays). Back to FFVIII, I finished the entire Disc 1 during that playthrough. And at the end of it all I was left heavy with all sorts of wild emotions running through my brain...
Here are the detailed Disc 1 impressions.....(this is going to be a long blog)
Disc One Impressions
As the Squaresoft logo vanished I awaited for one of my favorite credit sequences in a Final Fantasy game. I really like the musical score which sounds typical-Uematsu. Anyways after that was done,I pressed on "New Game" and took a deep breath. I was about to watch what many FF as well as non-FF fans call as "one of the greatest intros to a game". And what a damn impressive intro it was! The graphics were shocking. I mean how could such graphics be created on the PSOne!! It's utterly amazing what Squaresoft has done with the game. I also truly enjoyed the "Liberi Fatali" (I guess) background score which reminds me of FFVI's famous "Aria di Mezza Caraterre".
Anyways, I will cut the long story, a "little" short.
Area Wise Impressions:
NOTE: Comparisons to FFVII are natural...
I will start off with the most "hotly debated" topic amongst FF fans-- the FFVIII gameplay. I had never ever heard so much criticism as well as praise for a battle system for a Final Fantasy game. I was keen to see how would FFVIII's gameplay gel with me.
- I must say that FFVIII is clever by introducing so many tutorials in it's way which makes the learning and understanding of the Junction system a lot better.
- I am glad that the modified-Esper system of FFVI was recalled for FFVIII in the form of Guardian Forces which is a lot better option than the "Summon Materia",IMO.
- I am going to be one of the very few of the FF fanboys whose thinking that the Draw system of FFVIII is a fresher alternative and a more innovative approach to the MP system. I have no complaints with the Draw System so far.
- The limit system IS A LOT BETTER than FFVII's limit system in a logical sense. I mean they remind me of DOA 2's desperation attacks when a weak character makes a critical hit. The idea that Limits will only be activated when a character's HP is below 10% of the total HP therefore makes sense.
- The fact that weapons remain constant throughout the game and they can only be modified with the help of items and money was hard to swallow in the beginning but I eventually had little probs with it.
- The controversial Junction System was the pretty confusing and hard to understand despite the tutorials but by the time I reached Timber,I had gotten the hang of it. It isn't as bad as people describe it. In fact,it ain't bad at ALL. I even grew a little liking towards it and found that it actually gives room for more variations and modifications.
The plot (possible spoilers)- So far from Disc One the plot is utterly unpredictable to say the least. It started off at a slow and breezy pace (compared to FFVII's frenzied pace). The game took it's own time in settling down with the characters and the setting, though it never once got me bored as even at it's most sluggish moments,FFVIII's plot was endearing and engaging and entertaining.
- However after the one-hour mark it really started to warm up with things getting a little bit interesting.
- The Dollet chase sequence is fantastic not because of the thrill it provides but because of the sheer brute force technology SquareSoft used. The seamless transition between the enemy robot's sprite and pre-rendered background was marvellous.
- I still so love the SeeD graduation dance between two absolute strangers- Squall and Rinoa.

- The first flashback sequence involving Laguna and Julia was pretty amusing. Though not in the same amusing way that the "Honeybee Inn" was in FFVII.
- The Great Train Heist was one of the most thrilling "action" sequences in a JRPG. Stimulating stuff,dudes. Some of the ideas were borrowed right out of MGS and were brilliantly implemented. My heart beat was really beating high at that time.

- The part involving President Deling's broadcast being interrupted by Seifer and then Sorceress Edea entering into the picture was quite creepy. Especially with the "evil version" of Liberi Fatali going in the background.
- Easily the highlight and one of my most favorite sections in a Final Fantasy game from now onwards is the Deling City Assassination Plan. The plan is cleverly hatched and seems to be perfect. However nothing goes to plan and somehow in an over-dramatic way everything goes right (typical FF) and in the end something goes wrong and BANG...the Disc Ends with a heart-wrenching scene sprinkled with hatred. Man I can't get those freaking eyes of Sorceress Edea out of my mind.
- Squall: If you didn't know before, FFVIII is a character-centric game. It is mainly told from Squall's point-of-view. I knew from the demo itself that here was one character that felt human. He felt strangely real. And I wasn't wrong. Squall certainly ISN'T the mindless jerk so many describe him,IMO. He is a teenager. A troubled one just like every other teen. If you call Squall a mindless jerk,then every teenager should be called that too. I perfectly understand some of his behaviour and can see the emotional depth that lies beneath his cold and emotionless personality.
- His thoughts which are vividly described during conversations gives the gamer a deep insight on Squall's character.
- Rinoa : I can tell she ain't the foolish type of girl who gets in trouble (though she still got in trouble once) and there is a rebellious part within her. Her conversations with Squall are amusing.

- In one of the scenes where she reveals that she and Seifer were in some sort of romantic relationship last summer and she has happy memories of it, Squall feels strangely jealous. Somehow,I felt jealous too...I don't know why. Perhaps I didn't like the thought of Seifer and Rinoa together.

- Laguna: The game's second protagonist,it's clear I have much more to see of him. He appears pretty immature but a good human at heart.
- Sorceress Edea: She tries to look evil and sometimes even does but I just don't find anything really evil about her. She's more scary than evil. She ain't as evil as Sephiroth was. She ain't as twisted as Kefka was. She kinda reminds me of Golbez and the older FF villains.
End Point :
To be honest, I am finding FFVIII to be one of the most refreshing yet one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have ever had. I have had so many of memorable "Final Fantasy" moments from this game already and DUDE,it's only Disc One. There are three more discs remaining!!

All I can say is that FFVIII is shaping up to be one of the best FF's and therefore one of the best games I have played. It's already standing toe-to-toe in comparison with FFVII and FFVI (my Top 2 games of all time) and it's only Disc One.
I had been awaiting for FFVIII for so long even calling it the "Most Wanted Game of All Time" a couple of blogs back. I had mammoth expectations riding on it and was at times scared that the game wouldn't stand up to these expectations. However,FFVIII has so far matched up to my expectations and with a few more things it would even exceed those.
In short, FFVIII is the sort of game that a gamer gets only once in his whole life.And I seem to have got mine...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the Bad News for which this blog was written.....
My terminals last for two weeks. They end on 17th October after which we have our Festival Break until 8th Nov. Since I am serious about achieving my promised goal of getting straight A+ (scoring above 94%) in all subjects, I have taken a decision.
The addiction to a FF game is something which only a FF fan can understand. The time after I finished FFVIII I couldn't think of anything but it. Of what could happen next and stuff like that. Just couldn't concentrate on my studies. It was then I decided to do this.
I locked up my PSOne along with the FFVIII CD in a drawer,told my mom to hide the key somewhere I couldn't find and to give me the keys on 17th Oct after my terminals are completed.
I think that's a mature decision I have taken which though will prevent any more FFVIII for two weeks. To start a FF and to somehow not be able to play it for two weeks,is going to be something terrible. It's like you've left an adventure incomplete.

But I know I have taken the decision in my own interests.

So once it's 17th,it's gonna be a non-stop Final Fantasy VIII mania. Yoohoo!!

This Is What We Live For
Hello dudes and dudettes,
Sorry for not blogging for quite a while (been only a week) but been busy..y'know the usual stuff-studies,games,music,movies in the descending order of the time they occupy. Firstly I must convey a tragic news....
Tragic News...
As you well knew I got Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic from my uncle a week ago and I was damn excited about playing my GotY 2003.Surprisingly it was this same CD I played back in 2003 and as you might have realised the CD is quite old and ahem...used.
As a result from the third day I began playing KotOR I noticed that my CD drive was apparently having trouble reading the KotOR CD which showed it's presence when the gameplay became choppy,the load times became more extensive and ultimately the worst thing which every PC gamer fears- The game would hang after every 20 odd minutes just because the CD was too scratched for the drive to read. I tried head cleaning the drive a couple of times but in vain. I even tried other relatively newer CD's like Doom 3 and Quake 4 and they all worked perfectly well.
This utterly depressed me. I was immensely excited about getting an oppurtunity to play KotOR after such a long time and it had to get shattered by this generic problem.

I had reached Taris as well,one of my favorite places in KotOR.
I decided to get a brand new KotOR someday for PC or Xbox...or hopefully it will come on Xbox Originals someday so I can directly download it off for 1200 MS points.Oh well with the unfortunate demise of KotOR all I can wait for is my FFVIII to arrive which should be coming by this weekend most likely.

A Little About Books If You Permit...
I am actually quite surprised I have lost my interest in books for quite a while and the last book I finished reading was Jeffrey Archer's "Prisoner of Birth" and John La Carre's "Smiley's People". Both were excellent books though being an Archer fan ever since reading his cla$$ic revenge saga "Kane and Abel" I must say I was disappointed by the overall plot of his new book.
Firstly for those who don't know Prisoner of Birth is Archer's modern-day version of the Alexandre Dumas "Count of Monte Cristo". I loved the original and considered it way better than some of Dumas' other works like Three Musketeers (highly overrated,IMO). Archer's version is only basically similar to the plot and he makes his variation including the trademark shocking ending though I was not able to attach myself to the characters to the level I was able to do in Kane and Abel. None of the characters strike instantly memorable which is something rare for an author of Archer's quality.
A week back,Brisingr-- the third in the Inheritance series. As many of you know, I consider Eragon as a generic yet one of the best fantasy books I have read. Better than LotR,IMO. Yes,I love Tolkein's "The Hobbit" and I think it is much more of a trend-setter and staple in fantasy genre than LotR. Back to Brisingr then. Despite the fact that I am a fan of the series, I did not buy the book for couple of reasons : 1) No free time. 2) When I do get free time I dedicate it to games,music,movies etc. I will definately get it someday though.
Onto Gaming Then...
I took a break from playing GTA IV. C'mon dudes and dudettes,I have been playing that game non-stop for nearly month and a half and now I have reached the most tedious part of a GTA game. All that stands between me and 100% completion is 191 hidden packages [or pigeons or "flying rats" (WTF)] and 29 stunt jumps. This means it's time to print out the map of Liberty City from one of the game guides and do the f***ing donkey's work.
Oh I also have to beat the high score of QUB3D. For those who haven't played GTA IV,it's a mini-game- a parody of Tetris 3D which is dubiously titled as "The Puzzle Game You Have Played Before".
I would also like to take this oppurtunity to talk about some of GTA IV's humor. Those with previous experience to GTA games will know that most of the humor is based on parodies and oddball jokes based on American culture. In GTA IV,it's more prevalent than ever. Listening to some of the shows on radio stations which they call as "radio soaps" makes me half want to laugh and half to frown. Why?
Coz some of GTA IV's radio shows like Judge Grady,Bastion's Buddies are as anti-feminist,promote anti-liberalism,call every other immigrant a "terrorist" and in short make fun of American pop culture. Listening to Judge Grady sometimes make me wince...
For example in a divorce case involving a man and a woman the Judge gives final decision in favour of the man (after a long speech about how men are better than b****es) and to prosecute the lady he burns her. All this is radio of course,but seriously dudes and dudettes, despite the fact that I am a dude doesn't mean I can swallow all of this. Rockstar has often crossed the line with the Hot Coffee stuff in San Andreas and IMO,they have done it again albeit in a less controversial manner.
Okay...after reading Gears of War 2 Hands-On I have only one view BRING IT ON DUDES!!
Seems like Gears 2 is winning the battle against Fallout 3 so far for me. Onto Music Then...
As you well know I bought Death Magnetic last time and also "promised" NeonNinja to listen to In Rainbows. Here are my thoughts
Death Magnetic (Metallica)
There was lots of hype surrounding this album. It even had a grand reception in Mumbai as well where this CD was officially launched. The music channels here like MTV and VH1 showed the leading single "The Day That Never Comes" over and over again. It was after listening to this track which sounds quite similar to "One" in some places I finally believed that Metallica would restore fan's faith on them after a series of flop albums like Load,ReLoad and St.Anger (don't even get me started on how bad this was).
So yes,I loved The Day That Never Comes. Suddenly,James Hetfield was sounding a decade younger,Lars Ulrich was like the old devil on the drums and Kirk Hammett..well he always rocked even in St.Anger. Even the newbie bassist Robert Trujillo played bass guitar quite well...so with all expectations I bought Death Magnetic believing that this would be THE album Metallica would make....OR SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE....
Each and every...each and every song of the album shows tremendous signs of Metallica ageing...and ageing badly. They sound like they have just lost the defination of metal and are just banging drums and shouting at top of their voices. Hetfield sounds like he has an acorn stuck in his throat whereas Ulrich keeps hitting the drums so awfully that it feels as if this dude has taken an overdose of laxative.
Cyanide,The Judas Kiss,My Apocalypse are mediocre at their best. Only the lead single,"The Day That Never Comes" is something worth listening and is strangely nostalgic to the time when Metallica owned every other metal band in every boulevard of L.A
Final Verdict: Better than St.Anger,though that's not saying much. A single glimpse of Old Metallica otherwise it's all the same old crappy metal. Like the lyrics in the song even I will say in anticipation of Metallica to make another hit song like their 1989 song "One"....,"Waiting for the One!"
Final Score: 1.5/5
In Rainbows (Radiohead)
My good ol' pal,NeonNinja raved about this album half a year ago. I remember a line from his blog saying,"Listening to Radiohead will change your life." I didn't ever believe music could have such influence on life. So I bought In Rainbows, Radiohead's latest album. I couldn't get out of the Led Zeppelin groove until recently and then I finally managed to hear In Rainbows....
And I was going to have an experience of a lifetime. It began with "15 Steps". A song marked with the unique percussion beat rhythm of drums with chorus claps. It was here I heard Thom Yorke's voice for the first time..and literally it was fantastic. I loved 15 Steps no doubt. Then came a noisy odyssey titled "Bodysnatchers". It sounded like typical stuff dudes like U2 would make but what were those weird "out of world" noises. I would come to know that this was a trademark of Radiohead. They were really like a band from outer space that knew how to touch hearts with music. The noisy Bodysnatchers took an abrupt turn into a void of melancholic orchestra piano riff which intermingled with Yorke's voice like some sort of a voodoo spell.

All I Need is one of the highlights of the album. Hell,every song is a highlight of this album. However, All I Need with it's dark bass line sounded offbeat and the intermittent interruption from the bass felt to be breaking rhythm however when more instruments joined the noise turned into a wonderful music. House of Cards has an out of heaven voice that will raise everyone's hair for the first time. It's also got a strange melancholy of solitude upon which the album is supposedly based upon. Jigsaw Falling Into Pieces is the centrepiece of the album IMO. It defines In Rainbows the best. Fast,slow music accompanied by atmospheric orchestra-esque music,Yorke's falsetto and damn good lyrics. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is definately a weird name for a song's title but it's so f***ing amazing that it will make someone wet their pants. Especially the part where Yorke's voice fades away and then a loud piano riff enters. Videotape is another amazing song that manages to do something quite original.
However, my fav song from In Rainbows is Nude. It looks like a strange title for a song upon the first observation but it somehow suits the mood. Nude is a beautiful word for Naked. Similarly the song itself is a beautiful interpretation of Radiohead's already beautiful songs. And beauty adds with beauty to produce one of the most stimulating endings to a song EVER.....Stimulating stuff truly!!
Albums like In Rainbows are few and far between in our generation. Any music fan will know that most of the albums released in music history have mostly had only two to three good songs (mostly released as singles) from the catalogue of 10 odd songs on the album CD. There are very few albums I have heard to in my life so far where I have liked each and every song from the album. Examples like Led Zeppelin's albums like (Led Zeppelin I,Led Zeppelin IV,Physical Graffiti). I can finally add In Rainbows to that list.
Final Verdict: In Rainbows is in short words a journey every individual should undertake. I am not saying that everyone will like Radiohead's music. I can understand why some of you may not admire Radiohead's post-OK Computer work calling it too electronic or too experimental but In Rainbows includes Radiohead's finest works packed into one awesome album.
Final Score : 5/5 (Third album to get a score like that from me after Led Zeppelin I and Physical Graffiti).
And Neon pal...You were right. Every word you said was damn spot-on. "Listening to Radiohead has changed my life..."
Thanks,dude. I owe you one. I will make sure I will make you a fan of one of my favorite bands. How about that I make you a Metallica fan someday...oh wait Metallica sucks right now so...um...nah Led Zep doesn't exist...hey about Linkin Park?

On The Radar Finally...
Hello dudes and dudettes,
Been a busy week. Same thing studies and studies with gaming somewhere in between. Getting to the point straight away. If you might remember that couple of blogs back I talked a little about my Most Wanted Game of All Time.
It's a strange little side-thought that despite being a huge fan of the series this particular game is a part of and owning the proper console I never was in a position to purchase this game. The first time I played this particular game was through it's demo was back in 2003 almost around the time I began playing GTA :Vice City. In the beginning the colorful graphics of Vice City and the sheer vastness of the open-world attracted me and I simply ignored the demo.
However the demo finally got some of my time and from the moment it began it blew me off. It was something like a 20 minute demo of the PC port of the PSOne JRPG. But it was enough to rediscover the love preserved in some distant corner of my heart and brought back memories of my childhood...
*Flashback sequence*
A little boy woke up to his happiest day in his tender four-year life. His parents had gifted him a brand new console (Super NES actually) yesterday night and today he would be able to put the first game "box" (child's terminology for a cartridge) into the "hole" (the slot).
The little boy in his knickers kindly requested his father to connect all those wires as they were so confusing to him. He didn't know where those long wires ended... Once his father had setup the console,the boy put the "box into the hole" and what he saw on the screen from then to thirty five gameplay hours later would remain in his mind for a long time....he didn't understand a single word written in Japanese(what was this gibberish?) but it was said rightly by an anonymous gamer that,"Gaming has no language."

*Flashback sequence end* (Sorry I was in the mood to write something oddball)

And after that I played the demo over and over again. I knew every scene,every gameplay trick,every word of the dialogue,every tone of the music by heart. Anyone would if you play a game's demo 179 times completely till date. Anyways this is the game I have been talking about all the time...
Final Fantasy VIII
It's strange how our mind works. I had PSOne at my Grandpa's house along with other consoles for over six years and not even once did I think of buying this game. Yes I might repeatedly give an excuse that I wasn't able to find FFVIII anywhere but I could have ordered it anytime from ebay.co.uk. FFVIII used copies aren't so costly at all. It's just that I don't like buying used stuff. This annoying choosiness of mine repeatedly delayed my purchase of this game.
Most of my PC favorites like Diablo II,Half Life were first experienced by me through their demo versions itself. I remember playing Diablo II demo till death that my Barbarian was Level 32 in the demo itself.

I decided to get FFVIII for PC as it had adequate stocks even in India (online stores) however after coming to know that PC port of FFVIII was really mediocre compared to it's PSOne version I decided to wait until I could get my hands on the original....I waited and waited....and I have finally decided to get FFVIII.
I just ordered it off ebay.co.uk. Cost me around 10.99 pounds..not too shabby considering the dude from Surrey was giving me the unused version of it.

Will have it in 15 odd days though I won't be playing it until November or December due to ONE STRINGENT RULE INTRODUCED BY MY GAMER SELF:
THE SINGLE GOLDEN RULE: Complete all the pending games before starting on a new one!!
It's a hard one to follow but I think I should be able to follow it.
So here's my list of incomplete games:
-Star Wars : KotOR
-Deus Ex
-Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
-Quake 4
-Baldur's Gate 2
-System Shock 2
Unfortunately the list is TOO big. Imagine me completing all those games so that I can play FFVIII..NOOO!!

Also I might be getting Gears 2/Fallout 3 early November. That's even harder to resist.

Looks like this rule is going to be OVERRULED!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went to the music stores to scan for Metallica's newly released album "Death Magnetic". I got it but it was damn expensive. Luckily I had a voucher. Surprisingly it's my first music CD I bought this year after Led Zeppelin's "Mothership" and Radiohead's "In Rainbow" (which I am yet to fully listen to btw).
Not expecting too much out of Death Magnetic. Only hoping out of hope that it's better than St.Anger.
I have made a couple of good friends in my college who are music lovers like myself. Once when we were hanging out outside our college campus,one of the dudes suddenly exclaimed,"Hey,Ansh can you sing?" I was like..."Sure why not?But what should I sing?
Thus began a little karaoke where I was singing Yesterday and was screaming my voice off in Immigrant Song and Master of Puppets and even poked and made fun of hip-hop and my friend who is midway through his guitar course trying to keep up with me. We had fun and suddenly the images of the movie "Rock On!!" came into our mind. We all realised one thing....music was within us...within everybody in the world. Until yesterday I didn't know I could imitate Robert Plant's trademark scream so well. Until yesterday,my friend with the guitar did not know he could play thrash metal of Master of Puppets so well.
So well,ahem...the Moral of the Story is : There is Music within every one of us. Just find the time and inspiration to bring it out.
I think it's high time I end this HIGHLY weird blog. I am in a strangely funny mood today and that's not good.
