02/16/2007 Entry: "black matrix"

I completed Black/Matrix 00. Now I officially took over 2 years with it! XD

Or actually, I started the game, got stuck in the first second battle against Glysina because I was too stupid to realize that I can use John too. I accidentally found out about that from somebody's blog around half a year later. :D Then I continued up 'til chapter 4 and for whatever reason stopped playing (probably because I found BM Cross much more fun at the time).
Then a year ago, I found out that Gaius (and Revllovaus?) of BM get cameos in the circus mini games. I wanted screenshots for some reason and thus started a new game on an emulator. After getting them I decided to continue playing. I got to the second disc and up to the third battle before my summer vacation started. I didn't feel like playing during summer and... when school started again, I was way too busy to even think about using my computer for playing games.
And now, couple of weeks ago I wanted to see where I left off and ended up finishing the whole game.

I remember being horribly confused most of the time playing BM00 due to reading way too many spoilers and not really understanding enough. It seems most of the things were in fact explained in the last three chapters I didn't bother completing. And I found out that BM00 is actually a prequel to BM.
I'm rather annoyed at how the game kept taking my healers and swiching them with others who weren't as skilled in healing. :P I was especially pissed off at the part where a certain character temporarily left the party, taking all the rings equipped - the one with 'Mist Heal' included - along with her.

Now I need to decide which one of the bad endings to choose. I watched them both and I don't know which one is better and/or which one of them is required for the second-round-only ending. :D
Spoilers:

There is something unbelievably sweet in the one where Cain goes back to look for Matia and they both end up dying under the collapsing ceiling/wall, holding hands. That ending actually made me like Cain/Matia. :D

I suppose I'll start the second round soon. :D
