Last month, I bought several video games at Japanese Amazon website. I wanted to play Final Fantasy XII for a while, but the game was kinda expensive (about $60). So, I kinda waited until the price went down, and now, it only costs about $25 (new copy!). It is really interesting that Japanese people love buying the games right away, then sell them right away too! I think two or three million copies of FFXII were sold within two months, and then after that, no one buys the game anymore! Anyway, since I couldn’t ship games to the U.S., I actually used my parents’ address and asked my mom to send games to me. I was out of town for almost a month, so I also asked my mom to send games after I got back. I really wanted to get them before Fall semester starts because I know I won’t have time to play games once school starts! Now, I have games, and I am playing like a mug. Well, actually, this week has been kinda sucky because there were so many workshops, meetings, and orientations! I am really exhausted from things I had to attend. Eh.

Although I only played about 10 hours, I am not sure if I like FFXII. Graphic is really awesome, I think it’s the best looking game on PS2. But, I really really really do not like License System. It’s like sphere grid in FFX. In the game, you need to earn points (they call license point, LP...) to unlock abilities, magic, etc etc. Sounds cool eh? But, well, problem is that this system includes weapons too. It totally depends on how much you earn LP in order to equip weapons! It’s kinda fun, but it’s kinda annoying too. Also, the city is too fucking big! You can easily spend hours to just talking to town people! I guess story is alright so far. But, I haven’t cried yet, so it’s not that great (yet)!

I bought some other games too, but there is no way I will play before I beat FFXII!
