Final Fantasy from a Final Fantasy VirginJanuary 4, 2012 by

This blog post is part of GodOfMoogles' Final Fantasy celebration month. Check out the hub blog here: CELEBRATION HUB BLOG

ya know. that game


It is now 2012 and I have not played a single Final Fantasy game in my life. This widely popular JRPG series has never really urged me to play an installment. This post will be dedicated on some thoughts and guesses I have on the gaming series as a Final Fantasy virgin.

Background Knowledge: 

My knowledge of the Final Fantasy franchise is scarce. If you were to ask me if I knew what Final Fantasy was, I would reply "Oh yeah, it's that Asian RPG series with like 1000 games in it." I do know that Square-Enix makes these games, if that's any help. I also know that this series is very old (NES days. That's like ANCIENT). Yeah, so as you can see, my knowledge is limited. I may have done some research for the purpose of this blog.

Guesses on the Storyline: 

i understand what this is about... not really.

There seems to be like over 40000 characters in these games, so I don't think there's a single protagonist and antagonist that shows up each game. My guess is that some good anime dudes and gals use like witchcraft and giant swords to defeat all the evil enemies, and finally make their land peaceful again and then they make that FINAL (hence the title). If each game is strongly connected to one another, then oh man, that's one complex storyline. Anyways, I've seen these crystal things connected with Final Fantasy, my guess is that they're used to power up the characters. Like, they give you the power to boost up your spells and stuff. Or maybe they're used for evolution like in Pokemon: you touch the magic crystal, and then you get, for example, huge muscles, or a different hair colour so you can perform new spells. This representation of the storyline is accurate, right?

Regarding the Title: 

Isn't it kind of ironic that it's called "Final Fantasy" when there are like 8723623 games in the series. Hm... nothing final about that.

Thoughts on Characters: 

Guy? Girl? I don't know D:

One thing I've noticed about the characters of Final Fantasy is that some of them are hard to identify their gender. Some characters are easy to identify if boy or girl if they have crazy muscles, or have pink hair and wearing a skirt, but there are still many that look neutral to me. I've also noticed that most male characters have large swords with them. The swords are generally oversized and look hard to hold, but they do look pretty deadly if you can manage to strike an opponent. It seems like the girls in Final Fantasy generally don't have weapons, but rather use magical powers. It still looks like most of the girls could beat me up. That's pretty sweet. Oh yeah, and who are those Dark Mage things? They look like scarecrows. Anyways, overall, the character design in these games is pretty cool. That's all.

Thoughts on Some Creatures: 


Moogles - These moogle things are so cute! They're like these furry cat things with bat wings and a ball attached to their head. I do wonder what the ball is for. My guess is for Moogle telepathy. I want to own 10+ Moogles when I'm older, then I can be known as "Crazy Moogle Man".


Cait Sith - I saw this cat on a post of GoM's the other day, and I was immediately taken by its awesomeness. First off, it's a cat, and cats are awesome. Secondly, it's wearing a crown and a cape, and only awesome beings wear such attire. Finally, it's riding an overweight Moogle thing for transportation, because Cait Sith is too amazing to move using its own energy.


Chocobo -  These awesome birds look like a blast to have. I'm thinking that their purpose in Final Fantasy is to organize a racing league like NASCAR, because you know, everyone loves NASCAR. The characters in Final Fantasy must paint numbers to the Chocobos then people bet on which will win the 100 lap race. At the end, champagne goes everywhere at the winners circle, then the Chocobos die from the alcohol.

Final Fantasy XIII...-2?: 

One thing I have never understood about the Final Fantasy is: having multiple versions of the same game. Why does Square Enix do this? Were they not satisfied with the initial game so they made another? If someone can explain this to me, that would be great XD

Final Fantasy Movies: 

movie time

I see that there has been a few Final Fantasy movies made. That's pretty cool. Judging by one of the trailers, it seems like the movies don't really capture the true essence of the games(looks too...American), but what do I know?

The Music: 

I went to GamersUnanimous' blog to listen to some Final Fantasy music, and I really enjoyed it. Has some really cool vibes to it, and I can tell that the music in these games really has the ability to set the mood. My favourite song that I listed to was Terra's Theme. Listen to it nao!!!

The Graphics: 

she looks real. i want to stroke her pink silky hair.

As you all know, the graphics are obviously the most important element to a game. Bad graphics = bad game. The oldest Final Fantasy games had terrible graphics! It was like all pixelated and wasn't even HD! Those games must have been awful! Nowadays, Final Fantasy has really improved in that department. I viewed a trailer of the upcoming Final Fantasy XII-2,  and I must say, it looks pretty gorgeous. The environments and characters look realistic. Job well done. Oh, and you know how there's always arguments on which FF is the best? Yeah well, the newer ones are obviously the best because of their graphics. ;)

My Future with the Series: 

Now that I'm more educated about Final Fantasy, I am now more interested to try it. However, the honest truth is that I will continue to ignore this series while I play other games. Even if I really wanted to try Final Fantasy, which game would I start with? There's a couple on iOS, so maybe I'll try those, because you know, the iPod Touch is the greatest gaming platform on earth. I challenge you to convince me to try this series in the comments.


I have somehow managed to type out over 1000 words on a series I have never played. Well, comment below on something related to Final Fantasy. That'd be great. AND CELEBRATE FINAL FANTASY WITH THE COMMUNITY!!!

The Most Annoying Songs of 2011 December 8, 2011 by

This post is dedicated to songs that made me want to rip my ears out after growing a special hatred toward them. Enjoy!


Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO: 

Oh boy. Probably the most popular/listened to song of 2011, Party Rock Anthem delivers annoying lyrics, screeching synth leads, and an all around horrifying experience for myself. I couldn't even tolerate this song at first listen, and at its prime, it got played once every 3 songs on the radio. That Shufflebot made my life miserable in 2011.


Lazy Song - Bruno Mars: 

Next we have Bruno Mars's single entitled "Lazy Song". After about the 3rd time I listened to this song, I started to get very irritated whenever I heard it. The song is just so... stupid? Yes Bruno, I get it, you want to relax and do nothing, NOW SHUT THOSE SCARY MONKEYS UP D:


Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera:

I actually enjoy most of Maroon 5's work, but this song just seemed like it was solely aimed at the mainstream music industry. Yeah, it's kind of catchy, but once you've realized you're actually saying "moves like jagger" over and over again, how can you keep listening to it without feeling idiotic? Plus, the song doesn't even have Mick Jagger in it...


T.H.E (The Hardest Ever) - ft. J-LO and Mick Jagger (whhaaaat?)

BUT THIS SONG HAS MICK JAGGER IN IT. This song is also an atrocity. Arguably the worst song of 2011 (thank god I haven't had to listen to it very much).


Brand New Chick - Anjulie 

Her nasally voice is beyond annoying while "singing" those crappy lyrics. Just stop Anjulie. Just stop.


T.G.I.F. - Katy Perry

I don't mind Katy Perry, but this song is just generic sounding and it got overplayed like crazy. "blah blah blah bed blah blah blah in my head."


Blow - Ke$ha 

This is pollution.


How To Love - Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne trying to be sentimental??? wat???  I was just as confused when I first listened to the song.


Sexy and I Know it - LMFAO

Rounding off my list is... LMFAO ONCE AGAIN!!!  Good job boys, you made my list twice in one year!

Problems with this song:

  • Sounds similar to Party Rock Anthem
  • Video is disturbing
  • It's LMFAO
  • It sucks

It's just bad. Right, thank you for reading/listening and leave a comment telling me your most hated songs of 2011! Until next time, - Meowth

As I awakened from my deep slumber, crimson eyes were staring into my soul. Watching my every action, thought, and feeling. My body filled with terror and I became immobilized. What was I— LOL JK. TIME FOR MORE ADVENTURES WITH MEOWTH.

Meowth ran out the door of the Laboratory eager to start his adventure with his newly acquired Pokemon. "Woot! I'm gunna destroy all of my battles and get all 8 gym badges with ease. I'm fresh and no one will be able to stop my swag." Meowth thought to himself. "I'm ready to go and so is my new gangsta Pokemon. GOO POKEBA—oh crap I forgot the cat nip."

Meowth returned to his house for one last time. He pulled the bedroom mattress up and his secret stash was sitting there. Meowth sighed with relief as he stuffed the nip into his coat pocket. The kitty made his way downstairs and he quickly noticed Momma Meowth waiting at the front door. "I'ma miss you, son. Be safe ma dear." cried Meowth's mother.

"Kay cool, mom. Where's dad?" Meowth questioned.

"Oh my sweet dear Meowth, you know Papa died 6 years ago. We miss him every–"

"Kay cool. Bye." Said Meowth has he slithered out the door (yes, slithered. It was weird).

It was finally time for Meowth to begin his grand adventure. He had whiskers on his face and a dream in his heart. He didn't care that he was a cat. He didn't care that he had 9 lives. He ignored the racism and BOOM his left paw softly touched down on the dry soil of Route 858.

"Bye Cat Town (yes, it's called Cat Town), I won't miss you because imma boss." Said Meowth as he looked back on the town he grew up in.

Meowth hustled on for about 20 minutes when he spotted a shimmering blue light coming from an oak tree. In curiosity, Meowth shook the tree vigorously and suddenly the blue light separated itself from the tree. For a good five minutes, Meowth just stared at the blueness. Then he finally realized, "HOLY SWEET CEILING CAT, THAT'S A FLOCK OF WILD ARTICUNO!!!" 

Meowth panicked and fell to the ground. He pulled out his Pokeball in desperation and watched the creature appear from the capsule. It was a... RATTATA! 

"yay a purple rat. It will probably make a better snack than a Pokemon." Meowth said sarcastically, scanning the Pokemon with his Pokedex.

"Rattata: the terrible Pokemon." sounded the Pokedex "I don't understand why you have a Rattata--your name isn't Joey and you're not wearing shorts. What is this I don't even." Meowth questioned the authenticity of the Pokedex as it continued in a robotic voice, "This Rattata knows Growl and Sand Attack. Good luck hahaha."

All of a sudden, the flock of ice bird Pokemon started pecking Meowth and his swagga.

"Here goes nothing," Said the kitty cat. "RATTATA, USE GROWL!!"

The mouse unleashed a high frequent sound from its lungs. It was the most painful thing to listen to (even worse than Nickelback. Bazzinga!). However, within seconds, the flock of the legendary Articuno dropped dead to the ground.

"Thanks, bro." Meowth said in disbelief.

"Rattata!" replied the crazy purple rat.

The duo continued on with a trail of twelve rare dead birds behind them.

Successful day.

kawaii~ !!!

Now that Meowth has discovered his first Pokemon, what adventures lie ahead for the two? Stay tuned...

Some Quick Thoughts on Apple October 4, 2011 by

In spite of the unveiling of the iPhone 4S, I have decided to make a quick rant ish post on Apple.

The S stands for 'Same'

This day has been hyped up for over a year. The unveiling of a new iProduct, especially the iPhone, gets many people charged for the Keynote. Many are left excited after the big uncovering, but today, however, I think many people were left disappointed. The iPhone 4S is basically an iPhone 4 with a couple new features. Apple has added a new processor, a better camera, and something called Siri to the successor of the iPhone 4. That's pretty much it. I'm not including iOS 5 to the list because the iPhone 4 will be getting it as well.

It took them a year to develop this product? Seriously? I know Apple doesn't make too many significant changes, but this is pretty pathetic. Even iOS FIVE fails to make any big changes to the software. It doesn't even have the number four in its name. They might as well called it iOS 4.5 or something. The changes are so miniscule that it doesn't deserve a full leap in number. It just seems like Apple is trying to add successful things from other smartphones or basic things they missed from previous generations to push them ahead. For example, iMessage is an exact copy of BBM. Also, they've finally added a normal notification system. These are things that other smartphones have had for years now. Apple barely makes an effort to innovate nowadays. Siri is the only real innovation Apple has added for the year. Siri is an advanced voice control system that can do things like call people, send and receive text messages, remind you about things, and give information you need by using Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha. It must say, it looks pretty impressive, however, I can't really see many people using this a whole lot. Sure, it would be useful for when you are driving or out for a run, but when you're in a public place, I don't think you will want to be saying things like "Play Lady Gaga music" or "Open Safari". Siri just seems so useless when you can use your mighty fingers and without making a fool out of yourself.

I will admit that I do own a first generation iPad (I got it before the other Android/Blackberry/etc tablets were available). It is very convenient at times and it can entertain me for hours. It just feels like my iPad should do more for me. With all the tablets out there that  can support flash content, support real multitasking, and offer awesome customization, I am left to feel a little disappointed with the Apple tablet. Don't get me wrong, Apple products work very well. But they are definitely not the "Revolutionary" company they always claim to be.

Thanks for reading my little rant. So, how do you feel about Apple products? I look forward to hearing your responses.
