I chose to celebrate officially reaching the age of "pushing 30" with a brand-new fangirl obsession. I'd sort of thought I was too old for those anymore, but apparently I just hadn't met the right imaginary guy. OMG BALTHIER SQUEE! Can we retroactively import him into previous Square and Squenix games to make those combat tutorials hot entertaining as well? Can he loan a shirt to Vaan so I won't have to look at Vaan's alarming abdominal muscles every time the camera wheels in the wrong direction? Because I seriously don't know what's going on around that boy's sternum but it really freaks me out.

There are so many things I love about this game - the bestiary! the notes on vendor trash! the fact this game uses words like "celerity" correctly! OMG BALTHIER! Everyone's-a-red-mage battle system! Ranged weapons are not the mark of a wussy caster chick! - but I'm apparently supposed to sleep, for some reason.

Stopped 10 hours in. SPOIL ME AND PERISH.

What happened to Vaan, really? It looks like he's been grilled.

Hope you continue to enjoy it! It's a very very pretty game...
(I'm about 40 hours in.)
