When you're feeling depressed for no good reason, force yourself to laugh. It triggers happiness almost as well as externally-induced laughter. Eventually, you will noticeably condition yourself to release seratonin (or endorphins, or something) every time you notice that you're seratonin-deficient.

It's been effective for me. I started it as a moody teenager and it quickly became self-perpetuating. Google suggests I'm not alone. It's got a whiff of wire-heading, I admit, but ideally you're using it to solve a brain chemistry defect, not an external problem.

Ewww. Right in the uncanny valley. Somehow, the dialogue is just as uncanny-valley-ish as the computer-generated characters, but presumably that's just plain ordinary ineptitude.

That scene, in particular, is infamous among the fandom for being horrible.

Final Fantasy's never been the same since they started using (bad) voice acting. Then again, it's also never been the same since they stopped doing random battles, so it's not all bad.
