And I've been plugging away at Chrono Cross! Now I am become death, via body switching, and am in my favorite part of the game: The part where I get to travel around with Harle/Tsukuyomi. (There are some name changes I don't particularly mind, like Tsukuyomi being renamed Harle in the English version, but I can not abide renaming Slash as "Nikki." I'm sorry, but on what planet is Motley Crue better than Guns N' Roses? Let alone so much better as to warrant that change? Maybe they thought Motley Crue fit the character's visual-kei style better, which I could kind of acknowledge, except Nikki Sixx isn't even a solo guitarist, so what are we doing here, localization team?)
For some reason I had really thought the game switches over to disc 2 where I am now, which I was really anticipating, because the first disc of this Japanese copy I have seems to have some minor issues. (Mostly in combat, where a bunch of graphical bugs occur.) I was really hoping to see if the second disc (which seems unplayed) would have the same issues. I am somewhere near halfway through the game, at any rate. My progress has slowed down a little bit, recently, mostly because of the time of year. I don't really anticipate finishing it before the end of the month, just because I have a lot of projects I need to get wrapped up, but I have really been enjoying replaying Chrono Cross, when I've had the time for it.
