There's a scene in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia between two Final Fantasy Type-0 characters. Rem asks King to keep her illness a secret from the others, and King goes 'sounds like it's really serious, then' and Rem says 'no, I'm fine, really, everyone is just so nice that I don't want to worry them' and hurries off. 'What a terrible liar,' King says to himself, and then, 'If only he were here for her. He'd know what to do.'
There is, I'll be honest, more characterisation detail in that one-minute cutscene than there was in the entirety of Type-0.
I was frustrated by Final Fantasy Type-0. It never really lived up to its interesting concepts and cool character designs. It had too many characters, and their characterisation was paper-thin. Fantastic soundtrack, though, and the battle system was fun.
(King: it would not be better if Machina were here for her, because Machina is the worst.)
Opera Omnia also has a wonderful little scene between Rem and King later on. They're from a world where, as soon as someone dies, all memories of that person are erased. They share their fear that they're not in their world now; if one of their companions dies, are they going to remember them? It's a horrifying prospect to them, whereas, in our world, I think most people would find the prospect of losing those memories much more horrifying.
More Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
Willow speaking up in Buffy's defence in the episode 'Reptile Boy' was a really nice moment. You never let her have any fun, Giles!
The 'everyone turns into their Hallowe'en costumes' episode was extremely silly and, I'll be honest, I enjoyed it enormously. I think I might prefer Soldier Xander - serious, wary, observant, inclined to take any order that's issued to him with enough authority - to regular Xander. (Also, Giles's reaction to Willow walking through the wall was glorious.)
'I enjoy cross-referencing,' Giles protests, accused of not having hobbies. GILES.
'These two have absolutely boned,' Rei said when Ethan and Giles met up again. 'Yeah; they've only exchanged two lines and I'm getting that,' I said.
Buffy trying to comfort Giles by inviting him to mock her taste in music, at the end of 'The Dark Age', was extremely sweet.
I've been using the Notes app on my phone to write down my thoughts as I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I opened it halfway through 'Reptile Boy' and discovered a note made a few days earlier, at half past three in the morning, which I had no recollection of writing:
'I am the Lord of Dicks and I demand that you take this seriously,' Giles just said in my dream. I was so confused I woke up.
