I finished Siege of Darkness (been sick the past couple days, which helped my reading if anything else). If I didn't like Drizzt and Catti-brie so much I would've quit a long time ago. The way he was obligated to handle the Time of Troubles (since he was writing this book after all the other authors...

Siege of Darkness by R.A. Salvatore Yeah, I'm know I'm bloody late reading this in comparision to everyone else who reads R.A. Salvatore, but despite the fact I really like Drizzt and Catti-brie, Salvatore tends to read like he's regurgitating the same stuff over and over again so I can only take on...

Nope, that wasn't me with the screenshot. I remember hearing about this a long time ago, but I wasn't a level 99 kind of player. If anything, because of TSS's fantastic ability to run, I was probably underlevel. ^^; I never quite forgave EB for not letting me insta-run like the first one.

I've never played Grandia, so I don't know about its battle system, but I don't like the idea of a timer bar. What's wrong with keeping Lunar strictly turn-based? It's one thing that makes it accessible to people who are slow. If I remember right, the timer bar isn't literally a timer for how long ...

I doubt you'd have any problems, but animemusicvideos.org recently got slammed and was forced to take down tons of their content. I used to think AMV's was a great loop hole to listen to songs I liked, til someone explained to me it was considered the same as passing around mp3s. I stopped shortly ...

A friend of mine told me it was related to Ico. Is that true? It's by the same dev team and it really shows in the art direction and some of the puzzle elements (lots o' wall climbing). If you've played Ico before that will make the kind of thinking necessary for Shadow of the Colossus easier. It's...

Do other localizers have the same reputation? Does Atlus's omission of the Snow Queen part from Persona 2 still rule fan impressions of the company? Do people realize how much was changed in Zelda 2 and even a bit of Zelda 1? Or are these alterations just thought of as small and insignificant next ...

Checked Shadow of the Colossus out of the library at work. Well, actually it was my coworker who'd checked it out, but after watching everybody (at least four different people!) mashing on colossi behind me in my cube I decided that I'd better take the game home for the weekend and finish it before ...

Pikmin has had a sequel. Animal Crossing is coming to DS. I would not call either of them faddish. I think Nintendo intends to build them up as franchises for the long term. With Nintendogs it's too early to tell if we'll see new incarnations of it, but I know too many gamers who still play with the...

Since the N64, Nintendo has relied too much on internal game development when it comes to their consoles (not handheld). I wouldn't say that's entirely a bad thing when Nintendo is also the largest publisher in the world behind EA and Activision (if I have my numbers right). If either of those two ...

Not to mention....I constantly critique her plotlines, predicting this and that, and either agreeing or disagreeing with what I see her doing in terms of story or character developments. So I have a mixed POV. Oh I do that too. There's no getting out of it being another writer and working in a simi...

If you don't mind teary-eyed romance, Shadow Hearts and its sequel Shadow Hearts: Covenant (especially the sequel) have a strong focus on the romantic relationships of its protagonists. There are definitely some hanky-worthy scenes in those games. After the SH series, I'd place Final Fantasy X. Thos...

Binged and both the last four volumes of Saint Tail. The manga is sadly going out of print and it's the only manga in the magic girl subgenre that I ever enjoyed enough to pick up. It was one of Tokyopop's early releases though, so it's printed flipped with retouched artwork/sound effects. Since tha...

Not true. My roomate bought FF Tactics after it was made the greatest hits. However, he bought a original. He didn't want the greatest hits. Also, looking back on gaming convos with friends at school, alot of them refused to by greatest hits games and generally only looked for the orginal non-great...

I think it's nice that there is someone willing to do custom plushies and I don't think it's illegal for someone to go to a person and saying "I want a plush of this character," but the fact she lists them for sale individually (making them no longer custom orders but something she makes multiples o...

Hm... the top 20 games seem like very good choices, though it's no surprise the Lunars come out on top. ;) I'm rather surprised Shadow Hearts made the top 20 though. I always feel like Shadow Hearts fans are so scarce, even though I know there are a couple other people on this board who've played it.

I forgot about the PC version. Hm... I'm still not sure why Vic/WD would want to avoid Greatest Hits though. I'm under the impression that it's not mandatory (since companies can choose when they want to start selling at the lower price point) and the only thing that would result is that more copies...

Well, if I run with the manga like Alunissage, then Confessions of the Soul Ghaleon (probably twenty-something if he was human). Otherwise the EB/EBC Ghaleon since that, to me, showed what he was really made of.

Re: Quick Questions about choices

Rune: What about the arcade version of Cadash? And yes the Genesis version does suck, my knock on the TG16 one is that you can't save (damn HuCards). Yeah, saving would have been the best, but alas. That was my favorite action adventure game of its era though. I spent many an afternoon going throug...
