From Floatland to Pureland

I played a bit of Final Fantasy Legend III the other day. It's kind of fun, but pretty confusing as well. The map is difficult to navigate, and it's sometimes hard to figure out how to get places, and what to do next. The plot is something involving time travel, which seems interesting enough on the surface, but it isn't really very engaging. The transformations into various monsters and cyborgs make for a neat idea, but the changes seem so random that there isn't really any way to use them to your advantage. And the game doesn't even tell you how powerful one weapon is compared to another. It's hard to get anywhere without a walkthrough, at least for me. It's not a bad way to kill some time, certainly, but I get the idea that they tried to do too much with it; and, whether because of programming limitations or some other reason, they didn't really succeed.

I think my cell phone battery might be dying. Maybe I should just go ahead and buy my new phone in the coming week, instead of waiting until mid-July.
