Who here likes Rosa from FFIV?
There was a shop in Akihabara called Animate that basically was a nerd's paradise - tons of manga, OSTs, keychains, etc. An endless embrosiatic buffet of delights to all the dorks and dorks-at-heart.
I hate how smart they are at marketing, though. I found these little boxes of FFIV statuettes of some of the main characters, based on the recently released 3D remake. And I pick up a box and it's only ¥399 and I'm thinking that's cheap enough.
So I look and there are six possible choices. And yes - the most desirable is Kain, wrought in his awesome dragoon armor. But I look at the others and think "Yeah okay most of these other ones are good too - Cid, Cecil-post-transformation, Kid Rydia, Edge." And then I notice that there's a Rosa. And she looks
okay, but I sincerely couldn't care less about her.
And then I start to think about how my chances are roughly 83.333% of getting a character I want, which I think are nice odds.
And which one do I get?
in' Rosa.
I did manage to go back and get two more, which ended up being Cid and Cecil, which are
almost - when combined - as good as getting a Kain. But really I'd trade them for the tortured dark knight any day of the week.
Anyway if someone wants it - and I can take a picture later - let me know. It's kind of neat.
If I've already got an idea of something to send you, then you probably won't get it. I'm trying to spread these things out as evenly and fairly as possible. This plays upon several assumptions, which tend to be dire and black, and thus will not be recounted here.
