Thinking about the past

yunaffieDamn, I'm wallowing in so much nostalgia and saudade right now. It's funny. In all the five years since my parents sold the villa in Barbados, I haven't even thought much about the place and suddenly I'm missing it so much and remembering it in painstaking detail. Haven't even been to Barbados since they sold the place. It's all gone now, the furniture and everything... so sad... for some reason, I'm just really missing it lately. Guess I'm just depressed. As usual. Same old story.
I think even playing Final Fantasy X would be painful right now. I'm still at the beginning, just reached Besaid... the new faces, man. Wakka's face is hideous. HE DOESN'T BLINK. IT'S HORRIFYING. Though I guess FFX isn't going to be terribly nostalgic anyway with new faces, Japanese voices, and the rearranged soundtrack. But it will still remind me of Barbados. I used to play it on the Playstation 2 at our villa there... man, I loved FFX. It's such a great game.
I should get on with it already, but Final Fantasy 12 takes priority at the moment. Just kinda stalled at the moment... because, hunts. Hunts as far as the eye can see. So many hunts. Sob. I just want to get back to the plot. I know hunts are optional, but the completionist in me just won't allow me to ignore them! Curses... it's a good game, yes. I'm enjoying it. Totally shipping Penelo x Larsa. Larsa is a good boy and I hope nothing terrible happens to him.
Final Fantasy 9 was also very good, yes, I played that recently.
It's a shame a lot of the Final Fantasy ports on Steam are mediocre mobile ports. I would happily own Final Fantasy 6 if it wasn't a shitty mobile port... and I have yet to ever play Final Fantasy 5 but that's also a shitty port, isn't it. Bleh. I played Final Fantasy 4 on the DS, never touched 1-3 and of course I've played 7. Remake is going to suck all the soul out of FFVII, I can feel it in my bones. Haven't played Final Fantasy 8, and don't intend to buy it. I've read an LP of it anyway.
I'd be tempted to dive into Final Fantasy 13 if some of the ports of the series didn't have issues on Steam. Sigh.
Anyway... man. I miss Barbados. Or do I just want warm and sunny weather? Wouldn't it be nice to live in a villa in a sunny and warm country. Like Spain. Parents sure seem keen on it, but if they want to do it, they better do it before Brexit happens... '.'
Ahh, depression, you really can be a pain in the ass.
