Know what’s a really bad idea?

FFXII boxart

Buying Final Fantasy XII right after you start a new blog. Talk about never getting anything written. At the very least, I can write about the game: it’s delightful, and I highly recommend it to pretty much anyone. It’s well polished, having lifted great deals of UI and combat system from the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI and made it suitable for an offline game.

And the story. Mm, the story. It’s got several console RPG cliches (notably the Hiro Rule and the Logan’s Run Rule [sort of - Balthier's in his 20s, I think, and Basch is nearly 40]), but it doesn’t prevent it from being good.
