I need to try some XTREME PING PONG ROYALE again, that was pretty fun.

Anyway, somehow over the past couple days I managed to get 100% caught up with both Bleach and One Piece, so now I can tack them onto my weekly shows to watch, bringing the total to 8 series, although it's only technically 6 since Higurashi Rei is only every 1-2 months and Suzumiya Haruhi S2 is still in "Let's destroy our fanbase" mode. I also poked Shuffle! a bit to see if it got any better...and it doesn't really. Standard boring former H-game anime. Even the renown 'Boxcutter Kaede' just ended up being a emo lump of goo instead of being a good yandere like I was hoping. Ah well. I've lost interest in watching the Hayate no Gotoku anime, so I guess the only one I should really get around to sometime is Rave Master atm.

Going back, One Piece continues to amaze me how it's both awesome and well-paced without having to do a huge filler arc all the time. They'll occasionally throw a couple filler eps in here and there, but the last actual arc I remember was the G8 Arc right after they left Skypeia, which was extremely well-written and more or less indistinguishable from normal story. Bleach on the other hand, has to keep breaking the story in order to fit in their filler, and it's usually sub-par. Although they just entered a new filler arc where the Zanpakuto revolt, and it looks like it might be interesting, as long as it doesn't end up pointlessly dragging about like that damn Bount arc. The spirit designs, at the least, are pretty interesting. Too bad Ryujin Jakka won't be joining them, hahaha.

Starting to get in more details about FFXIV. So far race names have changed as follows:
Hume - Hyuran
Elvaan - Elezen
Tarutaru - Lalafell
Mithra - Miqo'te
Galka - Roegadyn
There are several differences in appearance to their FFXI counterparts, though not everything is known. The most obvious seen is that the Roegadyn do not have tails.
There are rumors that there will be more playable races, as well as playable male Miqo'te, but nothing is concrete yet.

There's alot of other potential information floating around, though for now I think I'm going to take most things I see with a grain of salt until I either get good screencaps or translation of/from a trusted source. 2ch isn't exactly alot better for people actually using their brains than say, Allakhazam, lol.
