Time to chill

rosa_heartlily I'm at the Phon Coast!!! I love the Phon Coast. I let my characters go for a paddle in the crystal clear water and their feet looked all wobbly through the ever-moving water. When they walked, they created ripples in the water. Did that always happen? I don't remember it from the original game and I'm sure it would have been something I would have squeed over (I have never used the word 'squee' EVER but that is the only word to describe how I felt about this phenomena) and something I would have been looking forward to seeing again. Anyway, I'm going to hang around there for a bit and do some levelling. Everyone is at Level 32 but some of the enemies are 38 (although when we gang up on them, they soon fall) and the enemies in the Tchita Uplands are going to be stronger. I might look at some of the lower level hunts on my list, too...
Oh, and I got the Gil Snapper! After doing All The Things at the Stilshrine and Bur-Omisace, I went back to Giza and it was still Wet. By this time, my party were all Level 30 and took him down. It still wasn't easy and I did swap one of my original party out for Basch (so that we could do another round of Quickenings) but we got him. We weren't helped by the interference of a Silicon Tortoise *sigh*
Anyway, I am still loving this game sooo much. It really is the best FF game, IMO. FFVIII remains my favourite and I am tempted to buy it for the PS3. I have even considered picking up a second hand PSP or Vita so that I can play it on the move. I'm just worried about the screen size. But, I really, really, REALLY want Square Enix to do a remake. I'm not hurting for games at the moment. The plan is - finish FFXII:ZA, play Primal, maybe mop up some bits of FF12 I didn't get to, Ni No Kuni II, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Dragon Age: Inquisition. The last two are, of course, dependent on me not finding something else in the meantime. I am in no rush to get the FFVII remake; I'll wait for the whole thing to be available, bug free.
Otherwise, yesterday was spent doing a bit of cleaning and watching DS9. Today, I have some outdoors stuff to do, including getting my hair cut and printing out our Cardiff Visitor Cards.
The Visitor Cards were a right pain. I first bought one in May, not realising they were date stamped. But, it was only £4, so I chalked it up to experience. I tried again on Monday, thinking that, by then, they would have July/August printed on them. I didn't want to leave it until the last minute and be in a panic (like, say, today!). But no - it showed June/July. OK, another one down to experience. Want a card with August on it - buy it in August, right? Wrong. Tuesday and Wednesday, they still had July/July on them. By this point, I've spent £16 on things I can't use. Even if I do manage to buy the right one, I'm going to have to save at least £21 before I see any benefit! It was also annoying that you couldn't see what date you were getting until AFTER you'd bought it.
So, I sent an email to the address provided and got a very nice one back from the chap who looks after these things. He'd been on leave after organising lots of summer festivals and so on and had forgotten to update the card. He's sent me a PDF with two cards on (so, apparently, we need one each - this wasn't clear on the site), which I am going to print off in a work building - only because I want it in colour :D So, between us, we need to save £17 in three days, which should be do-able.
Well, that's all the stuff I have for now. Bye DW!
