Because I'm not going to get to talk
about the song in the
context of the game.
Good news, bad news time, everybody.
The good news here is that I've made it farther in Final Fantasy 8
than I ever have before, and I really must say, I'm proud of myself
for that.
The bad news, sadly, is that I'm going
to have to end this Text Play right here, and it's because I just
can't continue with it. I just can't finish this. For a while
there, I honestly thought I could, but since I've had time and reason
to think about it lately, I find that my actual motivation to finish
this properly is gone, and I kind of feel bad about that.
Going through my posting archive, I
find that my original video intro for this was posted on May 21,
2014, which means that we're two, maybe three months shy of this
having been going on for two full years, and I'm only three quarters
of the way through this game, more or less. Gaps of two and three
weeks between issues of this have become the norm, and I'd not
intended for that to happen.
It's much like I'd predicted back when
I started, that I'd eventually lose interest in finishing this game.
It's taken longer than I'd thought to happen, but it has happened. I
just don't care about playing FF8 any more, at least with the intent
to write these silly little posts about it, as evidenced by the
frequency and length of these really long gaps between issues.
The primary reason is that I'm just not
invested in the story or the characters any more. Haven't been,
certainly since the space launch, and more likely, since the party
got to Eshtar. There's just been too much dicking around for my
tastes; things are taking longer to get done than I prefer in a video
game.
My plan now is to do a video wrap up
for all this tomorrow after work. Or today after work, really, since
I'm writing this on Wednesday night, but it likely won't really be
live until sometime Thursday morning, February 18th. I'd
like to be a good enough neighbor that I don't disturb the other
folks in the place I'm living, and I need to get some decent sleep
before my primary day job anyway.
I'll probably say this again in the
video, but thanks for your time and patience with this Text Play. I
really wish I could have finished this game properly, but there's no
good reason to drag it out any longer than I have already, and I'd
prefer to be somebody who has at least a little respect for my
readers' and viewers' time.
Thanks again for all your support and
time on this, and until I get things figured out as to where to go
from the closing video, stay safe,
have fun, keep gaming, and DFTBA!
