I read some reviews of Tales of Destiny 2 on Amazon JP. +10 to Robin's Vindication Points, because apparently other people thought the battle system and the story and KYLE were not very good. Other people thought they were great, but there's no accounting for taste, is there? It gave me this wonderful free feeling, like it's okay to admit I had to force myself to play that game, that I might have even disliked it overall, that maybe I'm glad this game never came to America so that we didn't have to see Tales with its pants down. (Like anyone would have noticed when it came out! I wish we Americans could spread out a little more and like things besides Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy.)
But...actually? The IMPORTANT news is that...I'm going to Japan in April. With just my father. But I'm kind of ashamed because two trips to Japan in a year? How extravagant can you get? But if I do this, I get to see cherry blossoms...and I REALLY want to see cherry blossoms. We can do it because we've found some cheap package tours. The tradeoff is that when we go to Japan in the summer, we won't be able to spend like five days each in Tokyo and Kyoto because the tour will be taking us to all kinds of places like Nagoya and Kanazawa, and that's really why I'm ashamed because I feel like I told my friends we'd be spending more time in Tokyo and Kyoto. I honestly don't care where I go, because there will be joshi muke and cute desserts in every city, and if we save money this way, and I get to go to Japan twice, well, screw you guys! So I guess what I'm asking is, is it okay to do this? Runan, Olive?
I'm still playing Summon Night 3. I'm so emotionally involved with this game. Why? It's no better than all the rest of the games I've played. Overly idealistic hero and all that, but this time she's a girl, and she was really suffering...so I think I'm worried about her. Or maybe I'm just worried about all the other characters, because I like them. Or maybe I just really hate the bad guys. Telienne, for instance. I hate how she keeps calling Ordreik "dear," like she's trying to prove something or be the perfect wife. It's so obvious she's not doing it because she's nice or because she loves him. I think it's REALLY weird. But I don't know why this matters so much to me. Normally I'm busy identifying or falling in love with the villains (haha Kratos)...the whole game is just weird. Or magical.

Well...I hear there are a lot of English signs at subway/train stops? I actually don't know. Technically most people speak English, but it sounds pretty bleak without Japanese...even I'm going to bring a bunch of maps so I don't have to ask for directions.

By the way, you say "going back to Japan"...but did you know I have never been to Japan before? :D

Ah, I see
And that's a good point- I didn't think about the trees changing. I'll be there through the end of September, so I should get a chance. Thanks for reminding me! :)
