meme + chrono trigger + doc bitching

[hughes]

pbjsammich was doing this meme over at DeviantArt, so I said I'd join in if I could post it to my LJ. :D Gonna change it a teeny bit, though. XD;

"The first five six (ed: okay, I suck at following rules D:) people to comment on this entry get free sketch of ONE character from me. Oh, and you gotta do this for five other people too. If you do this, you must post this in your journal and do 5 doodles, (ed: or drabbles), for other people! Until I see you've posted this in your own journal I won't be posting your doodle. Simple? Okay, let's begin."

Ed: You don't really have to do anything. XD Only if ye want!

Now, don't expect these to be good or anything. XD;

1. loreamara (Batchimera!Hughes; FMA)
2. firefly99 (Liquid Snake; MGS)
3. tinted_glass (Cid Highwind; FFVII)
4. burningvigor (Kitty!Roy; FMA)
5. elendraug (Randal or Dante; Clerks)
6. vwl (sultry?Maes Hughes; FMA)

(If any of you other guys who commented wanted a bad drawing and I was just too dumb to tell, go ahead and tell me. XD)

Um. Speaking of which, I got the money together to buy this. <3 (Of course, I got in on ebay for cheaper, so let's hope it's as "brand-new" and "factory-sealed" as the seller claims. XD) I'm totally excited because this is the first time I've actually paid for something through my own debit/credit card instead of using my mom's AmEx and then paying her back in cash. (I know. I'm a loser. D:)

O right, haven't updated this in a while. Again. I actually did play tons of Chrono Trigger, and now I'm at The Final Hour. :DDDDD I think either Magus or Frog have to be my favorites. (Frog who is like the most angsty amphibian ever. <3) I'm totally replaying Chrono Cross after this. Eeeeeeeeeeeee :D

DoC is out, but I don't think I'll buy it---hell, not even rent it. :/ I think it's my sort of passive-aggressive boycott against Cid's voice, (not to mention the gameplay isn't supposed to be that great), since I'm assuming there won't be a Japanese voices option. (If there is, I'll buy it IMMEDIATELY.) I'm really fucking unhappy on how they decided to stereotype him based solely on superficial facets of his personality without realizing he's uh. A fucking rocket scientist and brilliant engineer who happens to cuss lots.

:/

Not to mention the godawfulness of Vincent's voice. But at least that's not based on blatant, typical dub stereotyping. (I STILL LOVE YOU, SPIKE STEVEN BLUM. <3333333 ;______;)

Chris Edgerly should either smash a chair across the voice director or suffer my wrath somehow?. YEAH, I'M TALKIN' TO YOU. >O

No, I don't think I'm way too riled up over this. >/ ::Gnaws on Cid.:: And WHY do they always screw up the covers of US-released games? Seriously, stick with the Kingdom Hearts idea and keep it the same!

Take MGS3 as another good-cover-turned-bad example. Grr.

...I should have gone to bed when I got off the phone with Court. ;_; Why do I do this to myself? WRYYY?

AWWWWW. But I already did this meme three months ago!! ;~; The best you, or anyone else, would get from me would be a sketch in PS without a tablet. >>;; Being away from all the lovely college supplies sucks.

Magus is cooler but Frog is more fun~ Man, it's been too long since I played Chrono Trigger otherwise I'd say more useful stuff other than button mash. Which I'm sure we all do anyways. Wait, did I miss something? What does Cid sound like? And Vincent sounds bad too...? ;-; Hah, have you seen the FFXII cover? I wonder why they change it since it goes from gorgeous to mediocre.

[hughes]

Aw, I must be totally slow on the uptake. XD; I have the attention span of a goldfish, so I think I missed it when everyone was originally doing it. I think I'll probably just do pencil sketches and scan 'em in, though, since I am tabletless until that beautiful thing comes in the mail. >D

I'm so happy that I finally did play it, since I love Chrono Cross to bits but had never gotten through its predecessor.

Have you watched the AC dub? It's... pretty bad. T_T And by pretty bad I mean my worst fears come to life. Cid sounds like a Texan oil tycoon and Vincent sounds... just.... bad. XDDD And no, I haven't seen the FFXII cover, but I'm really looking forward to that game since it looks like the style is harking back more to FFIX than FFX, which I thought was totally underappreciated. :D How's the actual game?

ARGH NOT LISTENING AND DEFINITELY NOT JEALOUS.

No because I couldn't find the time to watch it so it kind of drifted out of my mind...I fear it greatly now though. A Texan oil tycoon? Wtf...? Did any of the voice actors even play the game?! That's nothing like Cid. ;-; Don't know, my version got beaten up badly in shipping so I told my buddies to just wait until Christmas when I'd go home and play it. But they said the fighting is different and a bit hard to handle at first and that the story is awesome, especially Fran's ass. *fangirlfangirl* I just can't wait to go back to Taiwan now~

XDDDD And yeah, they totally screwed up his voice. :/ I've heard his voice actor do good voices before, too, so it's really the voice director's fault for deciding to screw up Cid so utterly. ;_;

Hehehe, I tend to like weird fighting styles, even if they're kinda cumbersome. I look forward to it. :3 Sorry to hear about your copy, though. ;_;
