Yes first off check the Opening CG to the Game On the Youtube.
Ah it's pretty but what's with the costume change???
Yes, one of the few oddity about this game is that you cannot explain the Job System in ,say, REALITY or plotwise. Haha, indeed however, the Clothes does made the Man (or Woman). The job market is open to everyone, althought with the Gender ratio of 3 is to 1, there might be a.....well completely biased job allocation based on appearance. Lol.
These are the top 3 Job level for my characters at the end of game.
Luneth (that's the white hair guy)
1. Thief (Lv. 52) 2. Ninja (Lv. 42) 3. Freelance (Lv. 28)
Not just because I think Luneth makes a good looking Thief, but also a thief is a good character to have in the party for early game. For some odd reasons Luneth has a high Freelance level due to.....I couldn't remember but it attributes to that he is alone in the begining with no other jobs to choose from. I had him as a ninja in the end only because he is a Thief. Take it as a job advancement (not).
Arc (the weak boy. lol.)
1. Scholar (Lv. 48) 2. Bard (Lv. 35) 3. Summoner (Lv. 30)
I admit it's purely appearance for the choices I made. I mean look at him! He shouldn't be carrying a sword!!! Of course no one should be going on with the game without a Summoner/Evoker. Can't explain for the Scholar usage but a scholar is necessary for a certain boss and I need the BOOST for item use. Plus he looks good in a scholar garb.
Refia (the only girl)
1. White Mage (Lv. 81) 2. Devout (Lv. 35) 3. Freelancer (Lv. 10)
Yes. Gender Biaseness. I might make a controlling father if I ever had a daughter. That and I am the gamer who absolutely need someone to cast curative spells in my party. Usually that person will be a girl. Shoot me but I don't care.
Ingus (the blondie)
1. Warrior (Lv. 54) 2. Red Mage (Lv. 24) 3. Dragoon (Lv. 21)
Ah Ingus. Being the last guy in recruit, Ingus earns the role of having to fit in.
Really.
I need someone to hit hard. Who has to do it?
Ingus (since there's no heavy hitter in my party back then).
I need someone to cast Black Magic. Who has to do it?
Ingus (since no one can cast black magic back then).
I need a Dragoon. Who has to do it?
Ingus (even if I could just convert everyone to a Dragoon as I had enough equipment for that to happen).
Despite for all the sacrifices he made, Ingus hardly stays alive at the end of Boss Fights. I can't say I didn't try. It just happens.
See the part which I mention my reviews sucks? There's really no structure in it but fuck structure. Anyway. Let's talk about why FF III DS isn't really that appealing to said the gamers who might be shelling out around $49 or more (but in Play-Asia, it's $47.74). For useless information, I paid $35 for a shop resale copy. No. I don't really buy all my games 2nd hand. I got First hand Stuffs but I save that for another entry.
Reasons no one should be playing FF III DS:
01) You want epic storylines as convoluted as possible. FF III is strip down in that aspect and hauntingly reminding the players, that elements that impress you in narration and game play in the latter games had their roots over here.
02) Retro gaming just don't feel right in a remade.
03) The characters look chubby or tubby. Or Fat.
04) There's no 20 side quests to do each time you got a free roam period.
05) You get the real Side Quests if you exchange free codes and send a certain amount of messages via the Mognet through Wifi. I don't think it's fair to be locking up portion of the game so that you can say..... find friends to talk about the game? Really? I don't know. I don't get it.
06) There's nothing you can do after you complete the game. No New Game Plus. Just a save update on stats. Oh yes there's something you can do. Play the Side Quests. Fuck you Square Enix. Fuck you. Do you people know that every time someone use the Mognet, a Moggle lose it's wings?
07) You only play FF7 and related games. You think Sephiroth will start balding if you play anything that's Final Fantasy and unrelated to FF 7.
08) You only play one game in your life. Countstrike
09) You only play one game in your life. DoTA. Heck it wasn't even a real game.
10) You only play MMORPG.
11) You only play one RPG. The one in your pants, you quick firing imbecile.
12) You don't own a DS. (And you don't have to. Really)
13) You got Metal Gear Solid 4.
14) You are still playing Metal Gear Solid.
15) You are still playing Metal Gear Solid 2.
16) You are still playing Metal Gear Solid 3.
17) You got a Wii
18) You got a Pokemon GOD
19) You are a Guitar Hero.
20) You got Final Fantasy IV DS.
20 reasons why you shouldn't be playing FF III DS. So are there any reasons why you should?
It's FF3. Never had it been in English officially on any other consoles. If you are a traditional console RPG player, you know how difficult it is to find anything that's turn base and as engaging. It's pretty neat to grind as you go since you can go on lengthy train/bus without needing to pay extra attention. As oppose some of the other games that's really good on the DS but you had to really sitting down to enjoy.
And yes, Final Fantasy IV will be out this month.
P.S. The last boss for the game is called Cloud of Darkness. It's a green Meduse like creature with 2 tentacles. Not some spikey blondie with a Badass Big Sword.

Narnia......What Prince Caspian?
After watching The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian, it's deja vu like the whole Speed Racer =/= Rain's movie.
Anyone who read newspapers or printed media on the week before the Opening and the Opening week of Speed Racer would have realised that most of the adverts are selling Strongly on Taejo, the Character Rain played. Expectation was that Taejo will be a main character but in reality, he is just a support character. Or actually a plot device.
Same goes for Prince Caspian?
What's his function?
A plot device?
A marketing device?
Prince Caspian was suppose to Titular hero of the movie (as in expectations based on Movie's marketing material) with the Pevensie siblings as supports. I don't really cared about C.S Lewis's original material ; all I want to watch a good movie. Not a movie about misdirections. If I want, there's The Happening by M. "Simi-Lan!".
So as a titular plot device cum posterboy, Prince Caspian, willingly got his nose led by High King Peter, who is such old School English Punk (what if Pevensie is an Emo-Band??? That's a nice thought). He is Angry and Eager to Impress. Kind of like those Young English EPL Footballers. Caspian like some Spanish Imported Newcomer quietly accepted his role as a Locker Room Wuss.
He is also Susan's bitch. It's one thing to be a romantic interest and one thing to be a girl's bitch.
The only other heroic loser in this film is King Edward who ...... I mean? What? His presence is simply to be said "I am in this movie so I can be in the next". Tragic. Like Rain in Speed Racer. He is simply in the movie so he can work as a titular protagonist in another film. I wouldn't mind being paid to do "nothing" (you did something. No one remembered what you did that's all).
Of course, you still don't see the blood. It's dumb like fuck, it's like a bukkake movie without cum. No one is expecting it's like Passion of Christ bloody (a bloody Pro-Christian movie) but the least allow a bare minimum amount of sense. I really find it disturbing to be allowing swinging of swords (which is easily imitated by children) without showing the consequence or danger of what might follow. No real abuse of children this time except you get to see Lucy being flung across the room. Ouch.
There is no real story telling. Just like someone say it "it's a movie about 4 children going into another world to kill things", the movie's focus is on Bloodless Fighting, Talking Animals and a Seemingly Underplayed Key Player.

My Chemical Romance don't make you suicidal. Maybe it was Your Chemical Romance
Disclaimer: This is an entry of Exploitation. I am simply doing this, just for the very fact I can dig My Chemical Romance on the title of this entry (Read. It's on the top). I do not endorse the very notions of Hurt, be it on Inflict on Self or Others by Self or Others, as a way of escaping or simply to get "High" or any other negative stereotype notions that are loosely linked to Emo music usually by either Idiots who Like Emo Music or just plain Idiots who didn't like Emo music.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-564611/Girl-13-hangs-obsessed-Emo-suicide-cult-rock-band.html
I couldn't tell but laugh when the article quoted lines from The Black Parade in which I believe to be a song about Fighting Against Oppression and the Odds and Keep on Living. Not a song about Glorifying Yourself By Killing yourself (which I believe is likely to be easier to achieve by going to Romania and asking Vampires to make yourself as their equal.) I mean how many My Chemical Romance followers are out there? If they were all suicidal and wanted to kill themselves, I am pretty sure Gerard Way and friends wouldn't be making any money at all. In fact they probably killed themselves too since they didn't know anyone who like their music (since the fan were all dead. From Killing Themselves).
Remember this:
My Chemical Romance don't make me want to kill myself. Maybe it was Your Chemical Romance.
No. I don't particularly love Emo.

When most people are obsessed in something beyond the norm, it's usually a cry for attention. Poor Hannah probably died because no one try to see her as a person but a label (E.g. Emo Kid, Teenager). More cases like this will occurred in one fashion or another and trying to pin the blame on a media/music/culture wouldn't necessary solve anything.
No. I don't particularly love Emo.
