Guest blogger Jason here (that's me to the left wondering what I'm doing). As i entered the haze filled room two warriors stood before me one eating the saltiest of guacamoles. The other, not. From a third party perspective, they are in for the long haul. I did indeed bring sweet gifts to be used with the greatest of care. To Sandy I gave our brightest star. The alchoholic energy drink. To Alex I gave the rootiest of beers. 4 litres to be exact. The game itself is strange and wonderful to me. This is definitely not your grandparents Final Fantasy. There are strangely attractive non-human female characters (Fran), and strangely attractive male humes (Balthier). It is a tight battle but it seems as thought Alex is pulling away slightly. One false move however and Sandy is poised to swoop in and take over the lead. Good luck to you both.
