“Yo, Serah.”
I was putting my indoor shoes in my locker when a familiar voice interrupted me.
“Oh! Hey, Kagami! What’s up?” I asked as the closed the door.
“So, Nina told me you didn’t come to support the match the other day.”
My eyes widened and my face flushed.
I became friends with Kagami pretty quickly since the term started at Seirin High because we were in the same class…but I’d never actually told him that I didn’t enjoy basketball.
“Yea…about that.” I paused to think. “I was busy, and—“
He glared at me.
“Okay, fine! I’m sorry, I just don’t really like basketball that much. It’s…I just don’t really understand the game.” I smiled innocently at him.
He rolled his eyes at my probably ridiculous facial expression.
“That’s fine, but it’s pretty important for the team to have as much support as possible. You’ll come to the next one, right?” He asked.
“Erm…no?” I replied.
“It’ll be a good one, though! We’ll be playing against Shutoku High which has a player who was in the Generation of Miracles.”
That rang a small bell. I think Nina-chin mentioned something like that before…I think she said it was Kise-kun who was a member?
“Is that really so interesting though? I mean, isn’t Kuroko one of those…people.”
“Yes, but he’s on our team.”
“…that’s a really poor attempt at trying to convince me to come and watch.” I laughed.
“Geez, Serah! It’s not like I’m asking you to jump of a cliff or something! Just to come and watch the game!”
“Okay, okay! Calm down.” I gestured with my hands.
Kagami has a kind of crazy temper which, if I was honest, frightened me sometimes.
“Just because you’re scaring me a bit right now, I guess I’ll go.”
“Yes!” He slapped my shoulder as thanks.
“Ow! Remember I’m not the sports player here! I’m just a fragile little girl!” I said while rubbing my shoulder.
He laughed slightly. “Okay, it’s tomorrow afternoon at—“
“Kagami. Practice is starting.”
We both turned to the side to see Kuroko standing there.
…
“GYAH!?” We both shouted in unison.
“K-Kuroko!! How long have you been there?!” I shrieked.
“A while.” He replied.
I glanced over at Kagami who looked equally surprised. “Okay. I’m coming.”
He turned back to me. “Ask Nina about it. I know she wants to go as well. See ya’”
I waved as Kagami walked off with Kuroko.
How is it he lacks presence in that way? It’s kinda creepy…
~ ~ ~
It turned out that Nina-chin was going to the match. I wasn’t sure why though since Kise-kun wasn’t playing, but I wasn’t going to question it. At least I’d have company being somewhere I didn’t even want to be. We had just entered the stands when Nina-chin suddenly dashed off.
“W-Wait! Hey! Where are you going?” I asked while trying to keep up.
“Kise-kun was going to save us both a seat!” She sang happily while blushing slightly.
Kise-kun? I didn’t know they were that friendly with each other…
But she was right. Kise-kun stood up and waved us both over where there were two spare seats.
“Hi Serah! Hi Nina-chaaaaan!” Kise-kun said as we approached him.
“Hi.” I smiled as I sat down.
He started talking to Nina-chin straight away.
Wow. They really were friendly with each other. I wonder when that started?
I was about to scold Nina-chin for not telling me if something was going on with her and Kise-kun when he flung his arm out towards the court.
“Look! Look! Here they come!” He shouted excitedly.
I turned to face the court and saw both teams coming out.
“It’s against Shutoku today!” Said Kise-kun. “It’s Midorimacchi who was part of the Generation of Miracles in that team.”
I blinked at him. “Midorimacchi?” I asked while hiding a smirk.
“Midorima Shintaro.” Nina-chin corrected him. “Over there.”
I followed where she was pointing and spotted Kagami talking to a green haired boy.
Green hair?
Green hair…
Green hair!
I jumped forward in my seat. “Wait! That’s Midorima?! The boy with green hair?”
“Yea, why?” Nina-chin asked.
I mean, when he was sat in the cart…I couldn’t tell how tall he was. But now he was standing…it was so obvious he’d be a basketball player. He was even taller than Kagami!
“Do you know him?” Kise-kun asked, clearly surprised at my reaction.
“Yes!” I replied. “I mean…no, not really. I spoke to him and someone named Takao, I think for a few seconds. But I had no idea they were basketball players.”
“You spoke to him? When?” Nina-chin asked.
“It was the other day. When you went to see the other basketball match. I went to the store and saw Takao peddling a bike and Midorima was sat in the cart.”
“Cart?” Kise-kun laughed.
“Yes!” I glared at him. “He was sat in a cart!”
I looked back at the court and he’d moved over to where his team was waiting. I looked at him for a long moment before turning back to Kise-kun. “What made him good enough to be in the Generation of Miracles?”
“He does amazing long range shots and has high accuracy in…pretty much everything he does!” Kise-kun replied.
It seemed like he admired him a lot.
I looked back over towards the court again and watched Midorima as he unwrapped what appeared to be white tape from around his fingers. Once he finished, he pushed his glasses up his nose and flicked some hair from his face. I’m not sure why but when he did that, I felt heat rush upon my face.
What is that?
“Are you alright?” Nina-chin asked.
I slid back in my chair, groaning. Why was this person I didn’t know affecting me like this. “I’m fine.” I responded.
I hadn’t thought of Midorima since when I saw him for the first time, but now I suddenly felt this strange attraction towards him. Like I was, somehow, drawn to him.
I load beep echoed around the room and I jumped in my seat. “What was that?!” I cried.
“Serah, calm down.” Nina-chin said. “It was just the buzzer. The game is about to start.”
“Here we gooooo~!” Shouted Kise-kun.
Him and Nina-chin both leant forward as the game began.
I then found I was focused on the game as the sound of skidding shoes and the ball beating on the court reverberated around the hall. But it wasn’t so much the game…more like I was focused on Midorima.
The game lasted for ages, but felt like a blur in the moment.
It juggled back and forth between Seirin leading and Shutoku leading.
In the end, it was Seirin who won. I was happy that our team won…but I felt bad that Midorima had lost.
I felt bad, but…more than that, I was actually surprised!
Kise-kun wasn’t lying about Midorima’s amazing ability in being able to shoot from far away! And his skills in playing the game in general! I still didn’t understand the game, but even I could tell he was amazing! I was blown away…and even more drawn to him than I was before.
“Serah? Are you coming?”
“Hm?” I looked up to see Nina-chin looking at me.
“The game is over. I’m going to go and congratulate the team!”
“Oh!” I stood up to follow her. “Sure, let’s go!”
We walked down from the stands and approached the team. “Hey, where did Kise-kun go?”
“He said he’ll wait for me outside.” She blushed.
I rolled my eyes. “Hey, Nina-chin. Is there something going on between you and—“
“WE WON!!!”
I was interrupted by Riko running towards us. “We won! We won! Isn’t that great?!” She screamed.
“It’s amazing! Well done!” Nina-chin smiled at her.
“Even I have to admit that was a really good game.” I awkwardly laughed.
While Nina-chin began giving more congratulations to Riko, I took a quick glance across the court to see if Midorima was hanging around.
But from what I could see…he was the only member from his team not there. I wonder where he went?
“Are you coming Serah?”
“Huh?” I asked.
“Are you coming to celebrate with us?” Riko asked.
“Oh!”
“Are you okay? You’ve been spacing out since the end of the match.” Nina-chin looked worried.
“Oh no! I’m fine. I think I’m just…a bit tired. It’s the first time I’ve sat through one of these things, you know? I’ll probably just go home and get some rest.” I smiled at them.
“Okay. We’ll see you at school tomorrow?”
“Oh, of course! I’ll be fine by then!” I waved at them as I left the hall.
I sighed deeply. “I need to go home and find a way to stop thinking about Midorima.”
I didn’t understand it. I didn’t even know this guy!
When I arrived at the entrance to the stadium, I saw it was raining outside.
“Phew. Thank god I listened to Nina-chin and brought my umbrella.”
I popped it up and began my walk home.
There weren’t many people around now. I guess they’d all seen the weather and decided to leave quickly. Can’t say I blame them…the rain is gross.
“What’s wrong with you?! Enough alread—“
“Eek!” I jumped as a loud voice echoed from behind me.
I spun around and found Midorima standing against the wall in his uniform. He was soaking wet! He must be freezing!
He spotted me and must of realised him shouting abruptly like that had frightened me. He gestured with his hand for me to wait until he was done. Maybe he wanted to apologise.
“Aomine? I did.”
He paused. “You should be careful in the championship league.”
“…you haven’t changed Aomine. Don’t you understand? You’ll be playing against Kuroko in the championship league.”
“Sure.”
He went to hang up his phone when a girl’s voice erupted from it. “Midorin! Sorry to bother you when you’re sad! Cheer up!”
“Shut up!” Yelled a male voice.
After that, he finally hung up.
That sounded like a weird conversation.
He put his phone in his pocket and looked over at me.
We stood like that for a while.
“Any particular reason you were standing there listening to my phone call?” He asked.
“Eh?” I was surprised that was the first thing he said. “I thought you wanted me to wait.”
“No. I gestured with my hand to say “I wasn’t talking to you” when my shouting made you jump.”
I blushed. That made more sense. Ugh…I feel like an idiot.
“Sorry…” I murmured.
I thought for a second. “Erm…here! You can borrow my umbrella. My house isn’t too far from here and you’ll catch a cold if you continue to stand out here uncovered.”
As I stretched out my hand to give him my umbrella, he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
Before I could protest, he spoke. “Have I seen you somewhere before?”
That was abrupt! And…kind of rude.
“Maybe! If you let go of my wrist, I might tell you!” I shouted.
He thought for a second, then quickly released me. I rubbed my wrist where he had been gripping it and glanced up at him. He was purposefully looking at anywhere but me.
“Do you…remember, not too long ago, when you were being peddled in a cart up a hill?” I asked.
He looked back at me. “With Takao?”
I blinked. “You do that with other guys?!” I shrieked.
“No.” He sounded exasperated. “I meant, was I with Takao?”
“Oh! Yea, you were. I was the girl who was very surprised to see something like that.”
I could see he was trying to remember. I guess they really do do that a lot…how weird…
“Erm…you’re lucky item was a frog that day? Mr. Ri…” I didn’t want to say it. “…Mr. Ribbit.” I mumbled.
I felt my cheeks redden slightly. How embarrassing to say something like that…
“Oh yea. Now I remember you.”
“Took you long enough since you seemed to recognise me first!” I laughed.
He slid his glasses up his nose. “Sorry about that. I guess I’m just not feeling great right now…”
Because he lost the match, I presume? I wasn’t really good at cheering people up. It never really worked out well for me. Probably because I was more of a listener…but I thought I’d try anyway.
“I thought your playing was amazing!” I said maybe a bit too loudly.
“What?” He asked, clearly surprised by my outburst.
“I mean…I’ve never been interested in basketball, nor have I ever been to a match. But I went today because I was asked too, and I was completely blown away by your playing. You shoot from like, half way across the court! That’s incredible!”
He looked at me for a long moment, then awkwardly scratched the side of his nose.
“Thanks.”
I guess he wasn’t really much of a talker. I smiled slightly.
“I might even start coming to more games since I really enjoyed seeing you play!”
…
Wait! No! Why did I say that? I tried to casually brush my hair across to cover my face so he couldn’t see me turning red…
“I guess that wouldn’t be a bad thing…” He murmured.
When I looked up at him through my hair, I could have sworn I saw a small smile with the tiniest hint of colour on his cheeks.
He pushed his glasses up his nose again before starting to walk away.
“Hey, I wasn’t kidding you know!” I stopped him by sticking my umbrella out. “Seriously, take it. You’ll catch a cold if you don’t cover up somehow.”
He shook his head. “I’m fine, I’ll take a bus—“
“No you won’t!” I shoved my umbrella into his stomach forcing him to take it.
“You’re very persistent.” He said.
“Well sometimes you have to be!” I laughed. “Besides, if you have my umbrella…it means we have a reason to speak again!”
He eyes widened and obvious colour appeared on his face. “How annoying…”
I giggled.
“Well, then! I’ll see you soon!” I waved and began briskly walking away.
When I was about to cross the road, he called out to me.
“Hey!” He shouted.
I turned back to face him. “Yea?”
“What’s your name?” He asked.
I blushed a little. “It’s Serah. Serah Maekawa.”
He walked over to me. “If you’re going to give me your umbrella, the least I can do is walk you home so you don’t get wet…Serah Maekawa.”
I blushed even more. “O-Okay! I guess that would be…okay.”
I awkwardly and slowly shuffled underneath the umbrella. Unfortunately, it was rather small so I was forced to stand right next to him. My heart started to flutter at incredible speed when my arm touched his. Again…it’s still weird since I barely know him.
I glanced up at him and he was looking straight ahead. I smiled to myself.
He was…undeniably attractive. I'd never really been close enough to him to notice, but...he was! Wow...
“Come on.” He started to cross the road.
“Ah! Right!” I followed up behind him trying to dispel the colour from my face.
Walking home together in the rain…kind of a romantic setting. I giggled quietly to myself.
This is the first time I’ve enjoyed being outside in the rain.

A Fateful Encounter~
Just something I felt like doing! :,3
So I watched KnB (Kuroko no Basuke) not too long ago and fell in love Midorima-kun! He's my favourite, nya! <3 so...yea! n///n

“Serah, you should come back and watch the game. Even if you don’t understand basketball it can still be fun!”
I snickered to myself. “Yes, but the only reason you want to watch the game is because Kise-kun is playing. You barely understand the rules yourself!”
I was talking on the phone with one of my friends who had gone to watch a basketball match. She’d only gone to watch Kise-kun play because she had a huge crush on him.
“But it’d be…fun…” She trailed off.
“Look. Even if I wanted to go back, I couldn’t. I have to buy food for tonights dinner.”
“You’re cooking? I hope your family keeps a barf bag close.” She teased.
“H-HEY! My cooking isn’t that bad!” I shouted over the phone causing a few passers-by to turn their heads in my direction.
“Serah.”
“…okay, fine! I suck! But still you don’t need to put it so bluntly!” I laughed.
“I’m sorry!” She giggled. “Oh! I have to go now! The match is about to start!”
“Alright. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
“‘kay! Bye!”
She hung up.
I sighed. “Basketball, huh?”
I’d never had much of an interest in sports to begin with, but basketball was probably one of the ones I hated the most. I didn’t understand a single thing about it. And everyone in the crowd always gets so worked up…why?
But on the other hand, maybe I should have gone back. I mean, it was my school, Seirin High playing…but it was also just a practice match.
I shook my head. “Nah, it’s fine! I mean, I don’t support any of the other sport teams at my school when they go and compete.”
As I turned the corner onto the main street, I suddenly stopped in my tracks.
Making it’s way towards me was a boy in a black school uniform peddling a bike that had a cart attached to it. Even weirder…there was another boy in the same school uniform sat in the cart.
I cocked my eyebrow. “What the hell?”
As they came closer, I could hear they were having some sort of argument.
“Damn it, we were supposed to trade at the signal. You haven’t peddled once!”
“Of course I haven’t. Todays “Oha-Asa” horoscope predicted the greatest of days for Cancers like me.”
…horoscope? Huh?
“What does that have to do with this? Anyway, if we’re coming all the way out here to see a practice match, your middle school teammates better be good!”
Oh! I wonder if they are on their way to see the match I’d just come from.
“It’s the copycat and the invisible man.”
“Are they good?”
“Hurry up, or the game will be over.”
“It’s your fault for reading horoscopes!”
As they were about to pass me, the boy peddling looked over at me. He must have seen my confused expression as a small laugh escaped from his mouth.
“Don’t worry! This is…normal for us…” He panted.
I could barely manage a nod.
Him speaking obviously caught the attention of the boy sat in the cart. He turned is head towards me and in the short second our eyes met, I felt a small rush of heat appear on my face.
Startled out of my bewilderment, I finally spoke up.
“I…didn’t really ask.”
Wait…that made no sense. That was like a delayed response to what the boy said to me.
He looked back over at me and laughed again. “I felt it was necessary to say.”
“Takao, keep peddling. The match will be over soon.” The boy in the cart was now looking down while taking a sip of his drink.
“You already told me that!!” Takao snapped back.
“Then it shouldn’t take too long for you to move.” The boy in the cart retorted.
I hid a smirk at their amusing exchange.
As I was about to start walking again, I noticed a small green frog sat on the knee of the boy in the cart.
I blinked twice at the frog, then looked up at him.
He’d noticed what I’d been looking at and the tiniest, almost non-existent smile, appeared on his face. “My lucky item for the day: Mr. Ribbit.” He held the frog up.
“M-Mr. Ribbit?!” I cried out.
“He’s a superstitious idiot!” The boy peddling called back.
“Okay.” Was all I could manage.
“”A superstitious idiot?” You should know that I never miss a shot when I bring along my lucky item.”
“Yea, yea.” The boy peddling replied.
Mr. Ribbit? I giggled. That’s definitely…unique. I’d never met someone so superstitious that they actually carried around lucky items with them.
I turned to carry on walking.
A few steps down the road, I turned my head. I wasn’t sure if what I’d just witnessed was actually real or just my bored brain conjuring up something for me to pass away time with.
As I looked back and confirmed that what I’d just seen had in fact been real, I once again made eye-contact with the boy in the cart.
What? Why was he still looking at me? He slowly pushed his glasses up his nose and moved some of his green hair out of his face before looking back down again.
I watched them peddle a little further before continuing my walk.
Is it normal for a guy you’ve just met to make you blush like that? I’d barely even spoken to him as well.
“I wonder who that guy was…?”

Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Erm...probably not..! ><"
Let's see...
Rudolf, Prancer, Dancer, Comet, Vixen, Donner and Blitzen? Is that right? Blitzen? Is that even a name? I want to check now, hang on..
*intermission music*
Oh wait! There's 8?! Hahahah!! I thought there was only 6...well, I couldn't think of anymore, anyway! But wow, I'm surprised I got them all right, though! *O*
I was missing Dasher and Cupid :,)
Question 11.
What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?
This may sound silly...but what are holiday traditions? Just things you do every year, right?
Okay...then probably decorating the Christmas tree with my mum and sister :3 then me and my sister probably doing rock, paper, scissors to decide who will put the angel on top of the tree :,)
And also sat watching Christmas films with everyone <3 that's always something we do! ^w^
Question 12.
What is your favourite Christmas smell?
Probably the smell of the Christmas Dinner being cooked <3
Mmm~ I can almost smell it now *u*
Question 13.
Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Fake :,) we've never had a real one. Fake ones are much easier to decorate and don't...make a mess everywhere c,:
Question 14.
What is your all-time favourite holiday food/sweet treat?
Erm...I don't think I really have any in particular :,)
Oh! Well while we're all waiting for the dinner to finish cooking, we have a tray of small foods and nibbles to eat so...maybe those? That's all I can really think of X,3
Question 15.
If you could only buy one present this year, who would it be for?
Hmm...probably my sister :3 because she's so hard-working and awesome and stuff! n3n
Question 16.
Be honest: do you like receiving gifts or giving gifts better?
That's a strange question since receiving gifts and giving them create two completely different feelings :,) I mean, I really do like to receive gifts because it's nice knowing someone spent time thinking about you and thinking what you'd like. But I also like doing that for someone else! I don't know...I probably like giving more :)
Question 17.
What is the best Christmas present you have ever received?
Oh wow! Erm...
*thinks for about 5 years*
Oh! Well one year, my mum brought me a plushie of Botan the little boar from the anime, CLANNAD! <333 he is probably the best...or at least one of the best presents I've ever received! :,3
Question 18.
What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
Probably Japan! ^u^ I mean, I always want to visit Japan, but I think it would be a lot of fun to visit there for the holiday season and around New Years! Japan has such a rich culture and I'd love to experience this time of year there n3n
Question 19.
Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
I definitely think I'm a pro-present wrapper ;D I remember I always used to watch my grandma wrap presents when I was little and she was incredible at it! So I learnt from her how to wrap presents as well as I do nyihihii~ >//<
Question 20.
What is your most memorable holiday moment?
I think the one year I got this Disney album which has literally all the Disney songs on it :3 me and my sister had it on all day and just sang along to every song <3 it was SO much fun and a really enjoyable and funny memory when I think back :,D especially when it was later on and my dad and grandad were trying to sleep x,D and we're just like..
"THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIFEEEEEE!!!" X,D
Question 21.
What made you realise the truth about Santa?
I heard my friends talking at school about how he wasn't real :,) I went home and asked my mum about it and after that, it clicked that the tooth fairy wasn't real too :,) I remember I cried about it hahaha x,D
Question 22.
Do you have any Christmas wishes?
Not really...
Probably just that my family and friends stay healthy and have a good 2015! n.n
Question 23.
Do you make any New Years Resolutions?
It depends on if I have anything I want to do...if not, then no :,)
Question 24.
Do you stick to your New Years Resolutions?
...nope! xD but I mean, come on...who DOES?! Right? :,)
Question 25.
What makes the holiday season special for you?
Probably just spending time with my family :3 even though I do that pretty much everyday, it's nice to have an occasion to just sit and be with each other, you know? Plus the whole feel of Christmas is lovely so that's another reason why it's special for me :)
~ ~ ~
So that was my Christmas Tag! ^u^
Like I said at the start, if you also feel like doing this tag...go ahead! :D
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your family, friends or whoever it is your spend your holidays with!
Thank you for reading this blog! <3
BYESIES~!

Todd the Toy Poodle~
Hay everyone! :33
I haven't made a personal blog, you could say, in a while u.u and even this still isn't a personal blog, but it's still something that's technically part of my life...so in a way, it is a personal blog.
That whole paragraph was really pointless, huh? ...even so, I'm leaving it in :,) <--- that's what SHE said! OMG ;F
ANYWAY! n.n
I thought I'd tell you all about my new puppy, Todd! <3
He is a Toy Poodle and seriously the most adorable thing ever! I loves him SOO much! *v*

ANYWAY! n.n
I thought I'd tell you all about my new puppy, Todd! <3
He is a Toy Poodle and seriously the most adorable thing ever! I loves him SOO much! *v*
We got him when he was around 9 weeks (which is when that photo was taken) and now he is currently 10 weeks! n.n it's actually crazy to look at him now and see how much he's grown within the space of a week :,) it's insaaaaaaane! x,D
~ ~ ~
I knew straight away that Todd was the dog for me :3 when we went to visit the lady who owned the puppies, the other two there were so lively and playful and Todd was a lot quieter and less vocal. While I was playing with the two other puppies, he walked right over to me and sat down on my legs and fell asleep with seconds! n///n I knew I couldn't leave without him. He was my puppy! <3
After having him for a week now (nearly two!) he's developed such a lovely little personality of his own :33
He's still rather quiet, but he's definitely grown into quite the playful puppy! Often a while after he's eaten (and at other intervals throughout the day) he'll get jumpy and yappy and start to get very bitey! He has little vamp teeth, I swear :,) he has a lot of toys to play with, but even so, he still managed to find a favourite sock, the rope from my dressing gown and he also even has a couple of caps from washing up detergent!! (but don't worry! We cleaned them instantly as soon as he ran off with one) :,3
His favourite toy is a little plush and squeaky doughnut we brought for him and a blue teething ring! He also likes to chew on a slipper that belongs to my sister! ...but don't tell her! She doesn't know yet! XD
He only just went for his second jab (which he hated! I nearly cried listening to how loudly he yelped ;^;) so he can't go for walks until a week has passed, but we can take him out into the garden! He seemed a bit cautious at first and still is, but I think he enjoys walking in the grass and the fresh air and all the different smells :3
He also has quite a big appetite! n.n we feed him three times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and we mix some wet food with dry food since he won't eat the dry food on it's own /: and he also LOVES to sleep :,) once he's had a crazy while of playing and running around, he'll find somewhere comfy to lie (usually on the sofa) and literally crash out :,) it's so cute! ^w^
He also does this insanely adorable thing where he'll lie on his back and his ears flop back :,) it's SO cute because it makes him look like a little bat! >//<
Look at him! LOOK AT HIM!!
I mean, come on! HOW CUTE is that?! *squeals*
~ ~ ~
Okay, I hope you enjoyed that short little blog about my dog :3
I just felt like updating and thought I'd write a bit about Todd, so yush!
Thankyouu for reading! <3
And have a lovely weekend n.n
BYESIES~!

Fantasy Life Game Review~
Hellooo everyone~! n.n
I recently (and by recently, I mean last night! x,D) completed Fantasy Life which is a new game for the 3DS and 2DS systems. And since I enjoyed it SO much, I thought I'd do a game review! :3
...while the story is still fresh in my brain |||orz
So with that being said, let's start the review! :D
--SPOILER WARNING--
I'll try not to spoil the story, in fact I probably won't at all...but just in case, you have been warned so don't blame me! :,)
~ ~ ~
So with that being said, let's start the review! :D
--SPOILER WARNING--
I'll try not to spoil the story, in fact I probably won't at all...but just in case, you have been warned so don't blame me! :,)
~ ~ ~
Fantasy Life!
This game has generated a lot of interest because while it looks like your average RPG, there's also a lot of life simulation aspects to it as well. LEVEL-5 has given this game a great little twist because while you can still experience an RPG by completing the main quest (and side quests!) and going out into fields to level up against monsters, you can also do things like buy clothes for your character, talk to NPC's, decorate your home etc.
So there's really a huge amount to keep you busy when playing this game!
Starting Out~
When your first begin the game, you are asked to create your own avatar :)
Now, I'm someone who enjoys character customisation a lot so it was really important to me that you get a lot of options. I felt with this game...there were TOO MANY options! ;n;
Not even kidding, I probably spent half an hour to forty five minutes creating my avatar :,) there are so many hair styles and colours to choose from! You then go on to choosing your eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth etc etc. If it can be created and changed, it's pretty much there!
Once you've created your avatar, you are then asked to choose the Life you want to start out in :)
As you can see by this picture, you have 12 possible Life classes to choose from :3
~ Mercenary
~ Cook
~ Angler
~ Alchemist
~ Tailor
~ Miner
~ Carpenter
~ Blacksmith
~ Hunter
~ Paladin
~ Woodcutter
~ Magician
Each Life also provides you with a Master who will give you challenges and tasks in order to gain experience and improve your ranking.
While with any other RPG, you'd most likely have to start another game in order to take on a new Life, but with this game...you can go to the Guild Office at any time and choose to switch Life classes and in doing so, will go and meet with your new Master and take on different challenges.
But don't worry!
By choosing another Life, that doesn't mean your old one is replaced. Go back to the Guild Office and you and switch back whenever you like. And you can do that as many times as you want! Simple :)
[ RANDOM TIP WITH SERAH ]
I recommend starting out with a Life that will provide you with a lot of material. For example, a miner. This way, you'll gain lots of ore that you can sell for dosh (the currency of the game) and it's by far the quickest way to make money fast. Along with engaging in various battles.
Story Time~
When you arrive in the town of Castele, you stumble upon a butterfly being bullied by two goons (who eventually come around later on in the game) and after saving her, find out her name is Flutter.
While all seems fairly peaceful in Reveria you find out that, is in fact, not the case.
It turns out giant meteorites known as Doom Stones are falling from the sky causing monsters within their radius to act out violently and these Doom Stones are threatening the peace within Reveria and if not stopped, will cause total darkness to take over.
Remember our little damsel in distress, Flutter? Yea, she sticks around >. >
She can be a little annoying at times reminding me of Navi from The Legend of Zelda games, but later on...she becomes less annoying. I'm not discriminating against butterflies-- well, maybe I am. I don't like them anyway...but it turns out that her butterfly form isn't her true form and once I found that out, she became a lot less annoying hahahah :,)
But I digress, back to what I was saying!
Throughout the game, Flutter will give you quests to complete and these quests are what triggers the main story to progress but you can choose when to complete them in your own time. I wasn't keeping track of numbers, but if I remember rightly...there are eight chapters overall? Seven or eight, I can't remember exactly. If you were to complete Flutter's quests simultaneously, it would probably take you around...fifteen hours? I completed them within twenty two hours...but I spent a lot of time mining, creating HP potions and just generally looking around :,)
While it's not your average RPG story, I still found it rather gripping and towards the end, played well into the night as I was just like..
"Aah! What's going to happen next?!" x,D
You also visit loads of different and beautiful towns throughout the game :3 my favourite being The Elderwood Village <3
Also throughout Flutter's quests, you'll notice her a lot saying things like..
"Your wish has been heard!"
Turns out that, in order to save Reveria (as well as stopping the Doom Stones), Flutter needs to collect the wishes of townsfolk. This plays a big part in one of the final scenes of the game :)
When you complete Flutter's quests, you gain something called Bliss.
Bliss is, apparently, something you need to live a happy life. But your character seems to be fine without it at the start, so...
Nah, just kidding! :,) after you've gained a certain amount of Bliss, you can unlock a reward. So you gets things like larger storage capacity, being able to own pets, shop expansions etc. So it's definitely worth completing Flutter's quests for all this stuff! :D YAY STUFF! x,D
Going back to your Life. When you complete tasks given to you by your Master, you gain something called Stars. These Stars are what causes your rank within your chosen Life to level up. This probably has a purpose...I'm just not sure what it is :,) I'm guessing you just gain experience and...oh! Yea, when your rank goes up in your Life, it also contributes to your overall level going up. So I know that's a reason...I just never saw a benefit from my Life rank going up other than me becoming stronger and, referring to the Alchemist Life, learning potions by heart. Unless that's pretty much it...then that IS the benefit! :,)
Throughout the game, you also earn a lot of dosh which, as I mentioned before, is the currency of the game. You can obviously then use this to buy items to decorate your room with, buy more armour and weapons...all of that fine stuff :,3
As well as having tasks from your Life Master and Flutter, you can also take on side quests from the NPC's :) you can tell when they have a request as a thought bubble with '. . .' inside will appear above their heads. From what I've gathered so far (I haven't done many of these) they are all quests linking to the different Life classes you can choose. So if you accept a quest that requires something you find through being an Angler and your current Life is a Magician for example, that might be a bit harder to complete. You can always buy what the NPC requires, but you don't always get dosh as a reward :,) but most of the side quests are fairly easy anyway, so it's never really a huge problem!
Online Play and DLC~
In Fantasy Life, you can play online with other friends who also have the game. You can only play with the maximum of three friends, but it's still worth trying out :)
You'd be able to fight monsters with a higher level with more than one player in your party, you can also mine ore deposits that can't be done with just one person and you can also put items in a trade box, I believe so that when you connect, you can swap items that the other person might not have yet!
There is also a DLC for Fantasy Life which consists of;
~ A completely new area to explore with new quests
~ Extra elements for character customisation!!
~ New materials, ranks and recipes
~ New types of pets (birds and dragons!)
~ A new holiday home + décor and more items
~ A Friendship system so when you take allies with you on adventures, they will become more
friendly towards you and the more they like you, they'll get better during battles!
~ Exclusive items to exchange for Lunares Coins
So as you can see, the DLC for Fantasy Life offers a lot of new things! I'm definitely thinking about it since it isn't too much money to download. But I think I'm going to stick with what I have now since there are still so many NPC quests for me to accept and I still have all the other Life classes to try out! So I'm in no hurry :,)
The Game Never Ends~
You can probably gather from what I've mentioned, but in case you haven't, I'll just say that this game pretty much never ends! Unless you play it diligently 24/7, you're unlikely to reach a dead end :,)
With the DLC, all the side quests and Life classes you have to reach top rank in...you'll pretty much never run out of anything to do!
I've only briefly mentioned this, but once you've become friends or well acquainted with an NPC, you can invite them to join your party. You can take them on adventures with you and they'll aid you in battle (a bit like how your friends would in online play) only real life friends would be better since the NPC's I've taken with me don't really sense when it's appropriate to avoid an attack and pass out :,) but other than that, I like having a little buddy to accompany me~! My favourite NPC's are Laura, Yuelia (you'll find out who she is!), Odin and Daemon! :3
They're may buddies! ;3 YAY FRIENDS! x,D
Once again, I've only briefly mentioned this...but you can buy lots of items to decorate your room with. It's a bit like Animal Crossing (if you know that game) in this aspect because you buy items, place items and live with your...items(?) :,3 and if you get the shop expansions from your Bliss rewards, there's also a lot of things to choose from! n.n you also get photos of some characters to hang on your wall which is...a little strange. It's like..
"Hey, this is my room! Oh, but don't mind that. That's just a photo of King Eric on my wall..."
Then you're just like..
"Oh...'kaaaay." x,D
Also Pam, who owns the attic room you stay in, can sell you property in other parts of Reveria! So you can buy a holiday home in Port Puerto which is a harbour town next to the sea and Al Maajik which is a desert town. There is also a river front property just outside Castele that you can purchase. But, just like real life, you have to pay for your home :,) I'm not sure how much, but Pam mentions that you'll need to pay rent which, to me, seems silly since you stay in the attic room for free. I'd personally be fine with paying the dosh up front and being done with it. But, hey! Pam's idea, not mine! :,)
Even though you visit a few other towns and places throughout the game, I believe that (excluding the DLC) those are the only homes you can buy. Which is a shame because I'd LOVE to own a home in The Elderwood Village, but whatever ;3; ..oh! Maybe that's the DLC home!? Could be...eh. Like I'd be that lucky hahahah :,)
My Thoughts~
I really enjoyed this game :) I was expecting it to be good (because the title is Fantasy Life and you could say I'm a biiiiiit of a Fantasy nerd) but it was definitely better than what I imagined! It was the main story line that I especially enjoyed, I thought that it was really interesting and a lot of fun to play though n.n I definitely felt very involved in the story as well which is always important, I think. That automatically makes a game much more enjoyable when you feel a part of that world :) and the ending (which I was looking forward to) was asdfghjkl AMAAAAZING! <3 I wasn't expecting to cry, I mean...I was expecting a moving ending because once you realise Flutter's true form and why she's there, you think..
"Oh god...will she stay?" ;____;
But I definitely wasn't expecting to cry! Nor to cry as much as I did! I mean, I'm a crybaby by nature, so I can't really say if it was purely the story or just me...but I think it really was the story. Such a perfect little ending and a great balance of emotion in that final scene ;3; it was simply wonderful! :)
All the different NPC's you meet as well :3 some of them weren't even what I expected! Like you'd hear the name of a few and think..
"Oh god, this person sounds scary!"
But it turns out they're just another average joe living under a bad rep or something :,)
I also like the fact this game is never ending! Sometimes with games that just continue on and on and ON, it can get a bit repetitive and boring...but since this game offers a lot of side quests and jobs to keep you busy, there is definitely nothing boring about this continuous play!
The graphics, I thought, were absolutely lovely! The character designs and the town designs (especially The Elderwood Village) are SO HNNNNNNG-some I was kinda just drooling on my 3DS hahahah :,) yea, when you see The Elderwood Village, you'll know what I mean <3 it's just so pretty with all the purple and blue and green and white whispey bits floating around in the air and...aah! *u*
You also get a few cutscenes during the game (not many, though...I think I counted two or three?) but they're so lovely! I believe it was Yoshitaka Amano who did a lot of image illustration, so THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT ALL SO PREEEETTY! ;u;
Also, another thing that is important to me with games like this is the soundtrack. Because a lot of the time you spend listening to dialogue and running around, so I really like the soundtrack to be fun and enjoyable to listen to :3 and the soundtrack for this game was definitely amazing! *w*
I particularly liked this piece down below:
It reminded me of something you might hear from a Studio Ghibli film and I thought it was just lovely to listen to! The first time I heard it, typical me, I shed a tear or two :,3 just because WOOOW! <3
I also adored the ending song! ;3; you can hear it by clicking the link below:
I mean, oh wow! <3 this song was so glorious ;3; and perfect for the game and the atmosphere it created! :) I was already crying because of the ending...but this song pushed a few more tears out of me because I just thought it was so delightful to listen to~
I mean, with music featuring Nobuo Uematsu, you wouldn't really expect anything else other than incredible, right~?
My Overall Score~
I'm going to score the game, out of ten, on each main feature :)
So, we have:
> Graphics: 9/10
> Music: 10/10
> Character Customisation: 10/10
> Battles: 9/10
> Content: 10/10
Overall; 9.5/10
I really just loved this game so much, there was nothing really I could fault! My honest opinions and my honest scores on this game, I promise :)
So if you're wondering whether or not to get this game, I strongly recommend that you do! You won't regret it as there is so much in game content you'll probably being thinking..
"Oh god! Where do I even start?!" x,D
I'm just saying that if you get this game, it definitely would not be a mistake! :)

ANIME TAG; PART 2~!
Hai gaiz! :D
So, I'm reeeeeally bored in operation recovery and I felt like doing an Anime Tag! But then I remembered..
"Oh, wait! I already did that..." so that idea went down the drain :,)
I then decided to search Google for an Anime Tag that might have different questions from the ones I already answered, but they were all pretty similar 3:
BUT THEN!
I found this Tag that had a really unique idea, so I thought I'd try it out! n.n
~ ~ ~
Pick 5 of your favourite animes (in no particular order) and answer the following questions about them:
1. Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance
2. Silver Spoon
3. Sword Art Online
4. Death Note
5. CLANNAD
~ ~ ~
Question 1.
Who is your least favourite character in #1?
Hmm...probably Jio Inzagi.
He was just SO annoyingly persistent! After a while, it's like..
"Hey! Erm...go away!"
I also found Fianna Ray Ordesia a teeeeeeensy bit annoying :,3 she just...threw herself at Kamito WAY too much! X,D
Question 2.
Who is your favourite character in #2?
Oh wow! There's so many to choose from! Hahahah :,)
Erm...I think I'll go with Keiji Tokiwa.
He just never failed to make me laugh! And I just loved his character and his tendency to...shout his sentences a lot c,:
Question 3.
What is your favourite episode of #4?
Eeesh! There's so many to choose from pahahah :,D
Well, I want to say all of them...but I really like the episode when Light meets L for the first time. To me, I feel that's where everything really starts to kick off and we dive right into the story! So cool >//<
Question 4.
What is your favourite season of #5?
Oh! That's a good question actually...I mean, it's only CLANNAD and CLANNAD After Story, but they're both SO different!
I really adore Ushio and watching Tomoya learn the responsibilities of father hood in After Story, but I think the first season is my favourite :3 I just love everyone SO much and I enjoy all the back stories of all the characters and the emotional depth of the first season is so perfect it's just...asdfghjkl <3 I love it! ;3;
So, yea~ the first season (CLANNAD) is my favourite! n3n
Question 5.
What is your favourite relationship in #3?
Asuna and Kirito, of course! <333
Question 6.
Who is your anti-relationship in #2?
Oh! Heh, erm...
There isn't really any real relationship in Silver Spoon other than friendship :,3 I don't really think I can answer this question! XD
My anti-relationship would be anyone with Mikage other than Hachiken! So...ye' :F
Question 7.
How did you become interested in #3?
Erm...well I saw that Sword Art Online would be airing and that it was a game based genre and I was liek...
"Hell yea!"
Basically. So, yea! That's how :,D
Question 8.
Who is your favourite seiyuu in #4?
MAMO-CHAN, OF COURSE! <333
I love, love, love...LOOOOOVE Mamo-chan! So him voicing Light is...perfect! And he IS the perfect Light, so yea! :D
Ugh...Mamo-chan is amazing ;////;
Question 9.
Which anime do you prefer out of #1, #2 and #5?
Definitely #5! <3 CLANNAD is one of the first animes I ever saw and it...ah! It just means SO much to me ;w; I just think CLANNAD is so utterly and completely perfect it just...can't be explained! ^u^
Question 10.
Which anime have you seen more episodes of out of #1 and #3?
Hmm...probably #3 being Sword Art Online.
Because SAO has 25 episodes (..I think?) plus the Extra Edition episode which is...pretty much film length and Blade Dance only has 12, so yea! n.n
Question 11.
If you could be any character from #1, who would you be?
Ellis Fahrengart, of course! <3
My sekshii captain of the Sylphid Knights, oh yeeeea~ ^w<
Question 12.
How would you kill off your favourite character in #2?
WH-WHAT!? QwQ; I...I don't want to kill Tokiwa! NOOOOOO!! T3T;
M-Maybe smothered by chickens because...his family owns a chicken farm.
And he likes chickens.
That seems...like a good way for a chicken fan to go, I guess.. ;-;
Question 13.
Give a random quote from #1.
"I'll burn you to cinders, you lewd beast!!!"
...that was just the first one that popped into my head X,D
Question 14.
Would a crossover between #3 and #4 work?
HAHAHAHAHAH! Erm...I don't really think so :,D but EMG! I'd love to see them try! XD
Question 15.
Overall, which anime has the better cast out of #3 and #5?
Oh! Erm...hmm...
I'm going to say #5 (CLANNAD) n.n I mean, yes out of the two, CLANNAD is my favourite. But I also really LOVE Tomoya's seiyuu, Yuichi Nakamura! <3 he's amazing! :3
Question 16.
Which anime has the better soundtrack out of #2 and #4?
Oooh, good one! o.o;
That's insaaaanely hard to answer because both animes are SO different! :,)
I'm just going to go with #4 (Death Note) because the soundtrack for that is so tense and COOL! >w<
~ ~ ~
So, that's the end of that! :D
