I'm not playing but I remember enough of the game to make something up.
I have just participated in a Gay Pride parade at Junon and just made it to Costa Del Sol after a bit of trouble with one of Jenova's little friends. I was using Barret in my party for a little while but I feel he cusses way too much, so I switched him out for Yuffie and decided to use Nanaki since I never use him. I already have the 3-2 limit breaks for Cloud, XIII and Yuffie since I was bored and decided to fight enemies outside of Junon to get build up my Limit Breaks just by using Matra Magic or Choco/Mog Summon to clear out nice bunches of enemies. I plan on spending 30,000 Gil to get the lifetime pass to the Gold Saucer - but I'm not exactly sure I will. Even with the Chocobo breeding, there are times I don't think I even make 10 trips into the darned place. I think Barret is physically abusing Marlene, so I already informed the local authorities and he should be arrested soon.
