It's easter and we shall all remember the suffering of Jesus Christ... that's why I told you my thoughts on christianity last year, so that you could feel the suffering. If we cut of the jokes now, most swedes don't care if this weekend is about Jesus. Most of us probably believe that is in homage to chocolate bringing hares, except those living in the swedish bible belt. Yeah, we are mentioned there as well. And there doesn't seems to be a Jesus Christ Superstar showing this year. It's really some decent music, catchy and likable. Of course, I would probably not have time to watch it.

Why's that you might wonder? Well, I didn't finish the PM so I have to do that until Wednesday next week. That's the boring part. The funny part is that I'm playing FFXIII and really good. The music is likable and as usual the graphics are outstanding. A great plus is that the voice-acting is decent, but there is somethings that annoys me. One of the main characters, Vanille (I'm not gonna link this as I don't want to spoil any secrets for myself this early in the game), seems to go between accents, sometimes it's like any normal english, then it shifts in to upper class british. Of course it could be part of her character, hiding she is some kind of aristocrat or whatever. Then there is someone with a really thick Australian accent, just makes me laugh for some reason.

Story also feels kinda OK at the moment, but they usually turn your head around at the end. Speculation this early would be that the guardians of the humans is really corrupted and those on the outside tries to save them from behind the walls they built around them. Like Soviet, you know, people believing their world is the best while they are living under a brutal dictatorship using them against the free world outside and so on. Question is if it can keep me interested for those 60 hours these games usually take. At the moment it's really addicting. You have this sad love story were one of the head characters love interest been turned into a crystal, one other is cooping with the loss of his mother during an attack by the government and she feel to her doom.

If we go back to the graphics, they are really good. Unfortunately I think some parts were unnecessary. That is, fan service. If we go back to Vanille, as far as I know, her reason for existance is fan service. Why you might ask? Lets see, here's a picture:

At least she's 19, in game she looks younger since she's as the 14 year old boy in the group. It could have been worse. I acknowledge, she looks good. It's hard to deny, with the red hair, ponytails, bikini and small skirt. I admit, she's a walking fetish. Being a video-game this is pretty much acceptable, but there is one instance there is nothing else but to showcase some digital skin. Alright, all main characters get some sort of tattoo, most of them got in on the arm or chest, but Vanille? She gets her on the ass. And she shows it, maybe not much but now I can't get it out of my head wondering what the whole tattoo looks like.
