Anybody want to teleport out here and make a Starbucks run on my behalf?

(Woke up at 3PM yesterday. Will be up until at least 3PM today, probably about 2-3 hours later, depending on how fast the last batch of seed accounts sell out. At least I get a two-hour break until the next batch goes on sale!)

JUNCTIONING.

Everyone in my gaming group hated the junction system. I loved it. They'd bring over their save files, hand them to me, say "work out the optimal junctions", and I would sit down and happily fuss for two hours and return the save file with all the sets properly set up.

(I am also the one to do all the Persona fusions in the Persona series, *G*)

AHHH SOMEONE ELSE WHO LOVES JUNCTIONING. Most of the friends I have who play FF8 play it because they like the story and characters. I...didn't like the story or the characters so much (bar Laguna haha), but I was in love with the junctioning system. And Triple Triad, of course. BUT JUNCTIONING. I love how you can deal over 3000 damage at level 1 when you junction properly. It's so cool. *3*

(I can't seem to get into the Persona series! Is the fusion system similar?)

Not so much similar to junctioning as, you have to spend lots of time working out the optimal configurations to fuse two Personas together to make a third, etc. I love that kind of fiddly little stuff.

If you're curious, though, i wrote an entry about why P3 is so awesome in my personal journal a while back: Fandom Pimping: Persona 3. The mechanics/gameplay are awesome, the storyline is like, made for me and my fictional hotbuttons, and I love the gender balance and the variety of characters you meet in the game.

That's actually pretty cool... maybe I'll go back and give Persona another chance. ;; I tried playing the Portable version (P3P??) and it was so slow at the beginning that I lost interest pretty quickly.

AND ALSO I totally didn't realize you were synecdochic! I think I saw your name around fandom!LJ a lot before...

Yup! That's me :) (I split "work" vs "personal" way back when I was working for LJ and didn't necessarily want my boss reading my queer porn; the division is useful now because it makes it really clear when I'm speaking for DW and when I'm not.)
