Playjournal: Final Fantasy VII
Dec. 26th, 2024 05:59 pmI 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.
