Day 131: I hate you, Cecil! That's why I never finished your game!

My PSP arrived today in the mail.  And the first game I am playing with it is Dissidia: Final Fantasy.  I tried them all to make sure they work, but Dissidia is the one I was looking forward to playing the most after reading the manuals.  I have already finished the Cloud's bit of the story.  The difficulty was only 1-Star, and since I am new to the game I figured I'd start out simple.  And I didn't have any problems with it.  Even the battle against Sephiroth was easy.

And then I moved on to Cecil's story.  Though it is also a 1-Star difficulty, it feels like 6-Stars.  I have had nothing but difficult battles.  I gave up after fighting fake Sephiroth.  I tried over and over, which was really bad, because it lowers my Story Points for the level each time I retry.  In the end, I gave up and took a Destiny Point deduction, which totally killed the mood.  So I ended up not saving and have to do all of Cecil's story over, I think.  If you had been within 100 feet of my house, you probably would have heard me yelling something along the lines of "Cecil, I hate you!  You suck!  You're the reason I never finished Final Fantasy IV!  No one likes you!" or "Sephiroth you jerk!  Stop hitting me, you stupid meanie!  You are the reason why I never finished Final Fantasy VII!  I hope you die!"  You know, normal rage phrases like that.

As for the other games, I have played them all enough to get to the first Save Point.  Crisis Core seems fun, as does Dissidia 012 (and why wouldn't it).  Birth by Sleep I am not sure about.  That one will have to wait until I get further along in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix before I take more of an interest right now.

In other gaming news, the Osu! World Cup started today.  I managed to watch every match except the first one, which was Taiwan against Indonesia.  Here's a rundown of the results so far:

Taiwan - 4 vs. Indonesia - 1

Poland - 4 vs. Russia - 0

Finland - 4 vs. Estonia - 0

Germany - 4 vs. Brazil - 1

United Kingdom - 4 vs. Belgium - 1

Argentina - 2 vs. Netherlands - 4

Indonesia - 4 vs. Venezuela - 0

Japan - 4 vs. Canada - 1

So far, there has been one upset; and that was where Argentina lost to the Netherlands.  As for the little betting game the game has going on, I currently have 600 of 800 points possible.  The United States doesn't play until tomorrow afternoon, and I am looking forward to watching the watch.  Until that time comes, I will be playing Dissidia and watching the other matches.  Well, that's all from me.  So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
