Playjournal: Final Fantasy VII
I watched a Youtube video recently about why we don't finish video games, and one of their solutions was journaling about the game. It can be as simple as "stuff I accomplished today, stuff I want to accomplish next time." The key is that you can re-read that and get re-inspired PLUS re-oriented with where you are in the game, so that if you end up on a long break for whatever reason, when you pick it up again you don't feel lost and confused and end up like, what was I doing? what's going on?
So today I thought, "I'd better finish FFVII Remake soon, since FFVII Rebirth will be out in a few weeks." But it's been a few months since I last played it.
If I'd had a liveblog, I would have re-read my liveblog, and I'm like 95% confident I would have hopped right back in where I left off.
But I didn't liveblog it. And instead of picking up where I left off, more than halfway through the game, I was like, "I should start a new game and do actually journal it this time!"
And here I am.

Remake - Pages 1-5; Intermission - Pages 5-6; Rebirth - Pages 6+

[Thanks to Shinra's interference,] the explosion of the reactor is so intense that it stops traffic and causes accidents for miles around, and an inconsistent amount of electricity goes out for Sector 1.
Chapter 2: Fateful Encounters
Avalanche is shaken by the scale of the explosion -- the damage done to the surrounding area. Their bomb shouldn't have been powerful enough to cause this. But if they're really going to save the planet, this is nothing. They've only just taken the first step toward that goal.
Barret gives an inspiring speech about how they'll do what needs to be done, and he'll take on all of their fears and concerns (and even Cloud's fees) to do it. They are suitably moved.
