This blog is dying. So are many things in the world. For one, my psp is dying too, the wireless is nowhere to be found, the charging light will go on as long as its plugged in, even when its charged fully.

Somethings don't die at all. For one, my love for final fantasy 7. No matter how many ppl think its outdated, its old, to me, its the game that taught me how to appreciate the stories in games. And I only play games with a story to tell. Even winning eleven, there's a story in it, the story of the team, etc. Monster hunter, surely, there's a story in it, the life of a hunter. Most games have stories, and those without are simply not good enough to be called games. Do i call pac-man a game? No. Handphone games are not games, they're simply a way to waste your battery until u can safely charge again.

Everyone will die, one day, and they'll go on, into the lifestream. Yeah, i know, that's ff7, but there's some truth in it. We, ourselves, are a form of energy, and when we die, we get buried, or burned, but the energy returns to the earth, and the energy in turn turns into other forms of energy that is constantly recycled in a natural way. That is until, we, the humans, step in to extract this energy from earth itself, burning wood, using fuel, etc. Converting them into energy that is otherwise considered wasted energy in the sense that the output of these energy is normally useless and doesn't find itself in the earth anymore. That is, almost the same as the basic concept of lifestream. Change the energy to mako, and there u go, we are all part of Shin-Ra.

As i've said, everyone will die, and just a few days back, MJ died. Sadness, yeah. A legend, passed on. It's a pity he didn't get to perform his remaining concerts though. But he'll forever remain in our hearts as a singer, full of talent, as a dancer, no one can ever surpass. He's the best, in his era, and our admiration of his talent will go on for years to come. Rest in peace.

Anyways, back to the ff7 thing. After reading final fantasy 7 ultimania, and part of the story of before crisis, i realised there was a person as strong as sephiroth in the ff7 universe. That is, elfe, the first leader of Avalanche. So in my opinion, the strength ranking for ff7 is 1st Sephiroth, 2nd Elfe, 3rd Cloud, 4th Vincent, 5th Weiss, 6th Zack, 7th Genesis. After 3rd is a kind of a gut feeling. Not too sure about the rest. But i'm sure that cloud is certainly behind sephiroth, considering that he's the only one who defeated sephiroth twice, even though sephiroth was just slacking off and as said in the ultimania, didn't even sweat when he was fighting cloud in advent children. Sephiroth is GOD. Simply because, throughout the whole ff7, he controlled JENOVA based on his own will power, even when JENOVA is a calamity from outer space that all Cetras feared of. And since sephiroth couldn't win elfe (neither cold she) before niblheim incident, i suppose she's stronger than cloud.
