Fatal Frame runthrough, part 3a

[estirose]

I'm glad to say that my second runthrough of the start of night 2 worked out better. I'm learning to fight Blinded better (those pieces of advice that say "stand still"? I'm not having luck with them). Ran into Long Arms (again) but thankfully I'm used to his tactics. I think that's the last we see of him, too. Which is too bad, as he is a short-distance teleporter and not a long-distance one like most of the bosses.

So, got Blinded round 1, Long Arms round 2, and Well Girl (literally, she was drawn into the well by Long Arms). I got the piece I need to unlock a door in the Rubble Room. I headed up to the shrine (the last location I was in night 1) and got one picture that got me a lot of points. Also battled a random Broken Neck. I actually have a weak spot for her; she's rather beautiful, even as she's trying to kill me. (This is a recording of the night one battle with Broken Neck.)

I'm going to do Blinded battle 2, but maybe not tonight.

For the moment, I'm holding off because my upstairs-across-the-way neighbor has been socializing. She is usually on her balcony, which means she talks rather LOUDLY to various neighbors, and having had one anxiety attack today that means that I'm unusually anxious/on edge and can't easily filter it out when I'm having to pay attention to not getting killed by ghosts. (I enjoy being anxious during the game because of course it's meant to be a horror game where you're anxious about ghosts showing up. However, if I know that the anxiety is flaring up from earlier, I kind of feel cheated afterwards because it wasn't because of the game.)


ETA: Having zilch to do with my playthrough, but the Wii edition of Fatal Frame II is out, and we're starting to see playthroughs in English (and Japanese). Since the English versions are for Europe (why oh why are they not here?) all the characters have British accents instead of American ones.

Here's the Wii version of one scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFkOYxDrkg8&t=10m2s
