SMT Devil Summoner (kuzunoha raidou) completed
10.28.2006
just completed devil summoner in about . . . 5 nights. . . playing from . . . 7-11 +. its a short game, 12 fast chapters only. in fact i prefer devil summoner to playing ffxii because ffxii is rather boring and a let down. having ffxii to take after the world of FFT, ivalice and FFTA char designs was something good... but the storyline of ffxii is totally dumb. anyway devil summoner has a good system and simple plot but interesting. however, the game still lacks in many ways if compared to other smt series like ddsat and smt3. like for example... devil summoner should have voice acting (now almost every game has voice acting liaoz) and... the game is too short. The battle system is not bad.. not turn based, instead real-time battle where raidou can summon 1 monster at a time. But 1 ting i really hate about action styled
fighting is pressing the buttons simultaneously.. it makes my fingers pain after awhile... haiz... -.- the battle system is far more better than ffxii. i'll
explain more later. levelling is also very fast in this game, mainly because the
game is short.

so... about ffxii. i'm disappointed in it. it was very FFT influenced but the game turned out shitty. especially the gambit system is screwed. it's like programming language or sth. enemy hp > 50% - do sth. that kind of thing and u rank it in priority. this may add problems also... like for example... to make a char auto steal u put a gambit on that char enemy hp > 70% steal (there's only 70% and 100%) so the char will keep stealing until the enemy's hp is below 70% which poses problems. but 1 good thing is because of gambits the battle can be entirely auto. but still alot of the gambits seem useless to me... and i still prefer turned based final fantasy instead of real time. real time is also not neccessary bad if the system is ok... but the gambit system is no good. but the main reason i don't like ffxii is because of the storyline... it takes the player no where. Simply... there is no meaning to this game.

life? life? life?!

now currently... i'm working part-time 9-6pm 5 days work at Oxford International which is a company dealing with garments and samples. my work scope is doing admin stuff like filing, photocopying, scan, print, sending invoices/packages, packing and many other things. basically i'm under this person and she gives me work to do. there's really alot of things to do... i often work until forget time and can't finish the day's work. im paid hrly and thru agency... actually i just wanted to find a job to get a bit of money, get some work experience, take up my time until nxt yr.. it was damn hard to get a job in the IT field with my current skills and diploma in ifc. i gave up finding 1.. most of the IT jobs i also dun have the skills or experience in that field... sigh the IT job market really siao lah. design also.. kind of gave up thinking of furthering studies in web design liao. now i want to go back to studying...i need to get a degree.. for the last few mths, i already know how difficult it is to find a job... and now after working, everyday i come home tired. its not even a permanent job also lah. somemore i earn very little... deduct cpf, transport, food all that. haiz... can't complain.. now end of the yr hard to find job also ><.

my supervisor told me to take up a job while studying part-time... so as the gain work experience or after that may not be able to find a job. but i can't do that, i already know how tough it's gonna be to handle studies.. and work at the same time is very tiring and studies will suffer as a result. aiyar, wadever it is i need to enjoy my weekends b4 i go back to work nxt week. lol, why am i blogging all my thoughts. i tink i tink too much and worry too much -.-. most importantly, i gotta enjoy my weekend.
