Okay! 2000 GRADE! Let's go Yuris! WOOHOO!

Except I can't find the place where I stick the thing in and make the doors open! WHEE!

...help. T_T

EDIT:

The fight with Yuris wasn't especially difficult, it was just really LONG because I used an All-Divide, and I had to stop and go eat dinner in the middle of it. =w= There was this one circle spell like Annie's it used that totally stopped everything that stepped in it...which was everyone at one point. For like a minute or more. T_T That was...not...fun.

Um, Mao looks really cute in that last FMV. I love him so. Veigue is pretty when he smiles. I really want to draw Annie in that funny nurse's outfit.

Tytree is shown shirtless, which reminds me of something I want to talk about. The tendency for certain male characters to start preaching and bossing people around seems to be linked to them being good-lookin'. This means that I think no matter how "hot-blooded" or irritating CERTAIN MALE CHARACTERS are, they get a lot, lot better when their clothes come off. This is an inverse...thing. The fewer clothes, the more I like the (annoying) guy. Take Lloyd Irving, for example. When he starts carrying on and telling people what to do, he annoys me. But if you take off his clothes, I'm much happier because this is Lloyd we're talking about, here. He keeps in shape.

In short, I need more naked Tytree and Lloyd (and possibly Veigue). Together

EDIT: See, now if a guy said that about a girl, I'd shred his manparts. So I'm a little embarrassed. But I'm RIGHT! Us girls think it, too!

EDIT: You know what's been driving me nuts for a long time?

Is there a real recipe for Mabo Curry out there, or is it just your average mabo tofu mixed with your average curry? Is it passable if both are made from a box, or do I have to make one or more from scratch? (I'm not messing around with curry made from scratch, I like my MSG.)

Ack, keep teleporting and backtracking and teleport to new places you haven't teleported to? @_@; I can't remember the directions... Try the FAQ in GameFAQs?

I did it...I was in this place that more or less went in a circle and I totally missed this one teleport thing I needed to use. I'll get it right next time~

"Mabo" tofu's signature flavoring is simple--lots and LOTS of freshly ground peppercorns, either white pepper or black szechuan. Maybe some star anise, too. If you want "mabo curry", just add plenty of white or black pepper to your curry like this--

[1] Heat oil in a pan on High Heat. Do not use olive oil, it burns at high temperatures. Toss in a little onion or garlick speck to test temperature. [add star anise here, if you got it]

[2] When the speck sizzles viciously, put in a good teaspoon or two of your pepper and reduce heat to Medium High or your preferred saute temperature.

[3] Cook the pepper for a little bit to suffuse the oil with spiciness. 30 seconds should be enough. This produces the flavor you know as "mabo".

[4] Now you can sautee your vegetables and whatever else you put in curry. Add water, curry roux like the box says.

[5] Appetizer: Chilled ceviche salad. Toss red wine vinegar with diced jalapeno, testicles of a newt, fat of a newborn babe, and sliced tentacle of your choice. Pair with a young Riesling or White Zinfandel--lively, sweet flavors help play off the cool textures of the salad.

[6] The instant curry is best paired with a dry Chardonnay or a tannic red like Bordeaux to help cut through the heavy oils from the roux and sauteing.
