Hihi! It's a Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core post that would be helpful to all newbie Crisis Core players that is essential for any hard core gamer that wishes to achieve the best from that game.

For a PSP game, Crisis Core has a high re-playability factor as well as the no ATB style of combat, could keep you glued to it for hours.

Anyway, on to business. For first time Crisis Core-rs, here are the 5 steps you should take note of:

#1: Can't touch this

Always dodge attacks if possible by either constantly moving or with the Roll [Square] and Block [Triangle] moves. It is best to avoid as much damage as possible, death in any RPG games can be frustrating. Always move and dodge attacks, unless if it cannot be blocked or a skill that cannot be prevented. Yes, battle will seem to be longer, but it will ensure your longevity in battle(s).


#2: Little Mako wonders

Give each of your Materia a chance to be MASTER-ed when needed, to bring its fullest effect when using the Materia Fusion function. Stats will be higher and a better Materia grade or type when it is fused at MASTER.

#3: Take it slow

Do not try to rush through the game. I know you want to see those flashy CGs or find out about the story, but certain things are best done before you end the game, such as completing the missions, as it resets after you load a New Game+.


#4: Stand in the face of danger

Want to level up? Want your Materias leveled up? Then the only way to do so is through a lot of battles and let your DMW reels roll.


#5: In memory

Constantly save your game when given the chance to. Every save point you see, take the opportunity to save up, as the smallest mistake (e.g. Wrong Materia stats or type produced after Fusion, died in a mission) can waste you lots of time re-doing it again.


With that said and done, enjoy your game time for Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core.

From the masterpiece by Avenged Sevenfold, A Little Piece of Heaven

Before the story begins
Is it such a sin?
For me to take what's mine
Until the end of time

We were more than friends
Before the story ends
And I will take what's mine
Reaper never get what designed

Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak in the knee that something would go wrong
Before the possibilities came true
I took all possibilities from you

Almost laughed myself to tears
Conjuring her deepest fears
Must have stabbed her fifty f*cking times, I can't believe it
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes, eye over easy
EAT IT! EAT IT!

She was never this good in bed even when she was sleeping
Now she's just so perfect, I've never been quite so f*cking deep in

It goes on and on and on
I can keep you looking young and preserved forever
With a fountain sprayed in your youth forever

Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would get cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time, but bye bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
But baby don't cry, you had my heart
At least for the most part
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart
Let's make a new start
Cause everybody's gonna die sometime, yeah
But baby don't cry

Possibilities I'd never considered
Are occuring the likes of which I'd never heard
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laugh herself to tears
Must have stabbed him fifty f*cking times, I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes, eye over easy
EAT IT! EAT IT!

Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave

I gotta make up for what I've done
Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burn in hell no peace forever

Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would get cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time, but bye bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
But baby don't cry, you had my heart
At least for the most part
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart
Let's make a new start
Cause everybody's gonna die sometime, yeah
But baby don't cry

I will suffer for so long
To make it up to you
I'll do whatever you want me to do
And if it's not enough
If it's not enough
Try again
And again
Over and over again

We're coming back, coming back
We'll live forever, live forever
Let's have a wedding, have a wedding
Let's start the killing, start the killing

Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would get cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time, but bye bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun
Baby don't cry, you had my heart
At least for the most part
Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart
Let's make a new start
Cause everybody's gonna die sometime, yeah
But baby don't cry

===========================================

I am deeply depressed. So much has happened, so much sh*t that cannot be undone. I just wish I could just die. Why is life so full of crap?

It's not like I robbed the bank or anything, so why am I penalised for something I never did intentionally?

Looks like friendship takes a toll on me, and I will not trust anyone anymore, so f*ck you and the rest of your existing life.

Erhmm, yeah.

Well anyway, it seems I have been in denial for a lot of stuff lately, some may be under control while some just is just breaching the barrier.

My first denial would be ... acceptance. Acceptance. Why do I find it so hard to accept the fact that no matter what I try to do, I can never be recognised for what I have done, and what I am? Is it because I'm cocky? Is it because you, like every others ignore the little people? I like being a little people and I think I should not just change my ways completely to suit anyone, like I never tried to change anyone to see things my way, although I am persistently rebellious but I still come to the point where I know there is no way we can change someone just because we want them to. Is it so hard, for once, to acknowledge my existence?

Secondly, tolerance. I guess, I have been lying to myself. I tried to be a nice person and forego the so-called little things that makes the team to be a little out of shape. We are suppose to pull our weights together. All I see is myself and the vice leader to be doing freakin' loads of job. Heck, even the vice is doing more than me. Sure, 5 in a team, 2 of us pulling more weight, while the other 2 pull theirs, how about you? Are you pulling your weight enough? I don't think so.

Lastly, hoping. I keep hoping that I would be able to come back, to that part of my life where I can actually say that I felt like it was, a family, an ohana. But betrayal, politics and shit just tears all those dreams apart. Kudos, you just split my SPD into essentially 2 poles of oppositions and I keep debating with myself, being caught in limbo.

Another emo post from Hakenden.

Yes, I succumb to the LoLCat mania ...

I am posting most of my post with the picture, but of course only for the fun and funny purposes of it. If it is a heated debate/topic that comes up, I would most likely post normally. So here's to LolCat frenzy!

All the sources of images are not from this blog (except the cheezeburger).

Thanks to this pundek => Kaelvin

Lawl, anyway, here goes ...
