Anyway, this trailer made me do the unthinkable: actually want a PSP. Unfortunately, it also did something else: GIVE GARLAND MY WEAPON. In my last journal entry, I mentioned a Chainblade that the main character in my story was going to wield. Well looky here, Square Enix decided to read my journal and give that weapon (on a much larger scale) to Garland. He should go die now. This means that if/when I make this story into a game (which is what I wanted it to be in the first place, but baby steps are necessary), people will say "Oh, I've seen that before", or "oh, that's like that Garland guy's sword. I bet he got the idea from there."

No.

I actually got the idea from the least likely source imaginable. A BB revolver we found in the trunk of a used car my dad got. To reload it, you pull a lever that releases the barrel end of the gun, which pivots down to let you put more shots in, but the hinge was broken, so the barrel just fell off. That got me thinking "What if that happened while reloading a gunblade? Well, there wouldn't be anything to worry about if the blade were on a chain...which could be whipped around...and would be awesome."

Of course, Elliot's chainblade is guaranteed to be much more...versatile...
