I've been going through every one of the Lunar games so far. I finished the Sega CD games and imports, then Lunar: Walking School (which is when I re-wrote the entire walkthrough). Now I'm going through SSS and at the Frontier.
After this, I'll likely go through both the Saturn and PSX import versions (don't know if I'll go through both Saturn versions yet...). Then it's either the Eternal Blue versions, Lunar: Legend, or Lunar: Magic School.
So far my screenshot count is somewhere around 3000, although it'd be more if I had a better PSX emulator; I'm having to take notes while playing SSS on a regular PSX instead of screenshotting everything of significance. KF

Ask Kizyr; he reads Japanese, I don't, except for katakana (used to phonetically render loanwords and names). I didn't see any inconsistencies with names such as were in the US/Euro game though.Benevolent_Ghaleon wrote:Did the japanese one also have a plethora of grammatical and spelling errors?Alunissage wrote:Nintendogs. =)
I'm hoping to get to some of my DS and GBA backlog now that I've finally gotten some headphones. Maybe I'll actually play Genesis in English now...

Hm, just finished SSS. I haven't played it since it was first released (I've replayed the Sega CD games countless times, but not the remakes as much).
Now it's onto the Japanese version(s) of SSS. Can't decide which one, though: Playstation, Saturn, or Saturn MPEG? I don't quite have time to play all 3, but I'm leaning towards the Playstation one so that I can take screenshots. KF

I've been stalling for the past week. I'm nearly done with Phoenix Wright (I just have to finish 1 more day, but I don't have time until Sunday at the earliest; I'm going to the zoo tomorrow!)
Then Civilization IV, for the first time in months. I'm just playing pick-up games, set everything to random... and I'm starting to do Noble level again. So far I'm doing good... for some reason I'm always better with Archipelagos, possibly because of the difficulty of waging warfare for the AI (I tend to be culture/tech oriented and have less defenses).
And Avernum 4, a shareware game from Spidweb software. I've essentially completed the demo (in about 5 or 6 hours), and it was fun. I'm thinking about getting it, if only because I like dungeon crawling with races besides elves and dwarves (in this case, Slith and Nephilm).

If I weren't wrapped up in Lunar, I'd be picking up Civ4 again.Sonic# wrote:Then Civilization IV, for the first time in months.

Waging war, particularly a) defensive wars, and b) long-term conflicts, is the hardest part of scaling up the difficulty in Civ4 (and Civ3). Try a lesser difficulty and with Pangaea! It's loads of fun.
First thing to do is to have a very solid defense; sometimes you'll have to go generations with little to no city improvements, particularly cities that are on your Frontiers and close to neighboring civilizations. You might even have to forego most World Wonders (for someone who loves shiny city improvements and big metropolises, like me, this is the hardest thing to overcome strategy-wise). Second is to conquer your immediate neighbors as quickly as possible; if you expand early in the game then it makes raising larger standing armies much, much easier. 'Cause conquering neighbors is incredibly more difficult the more advanced your armies are (and more costly).
Final thing to do is to make sure your army is always mobile and up-to-date. Even if you want to concentrate on a culture-based or 'peaceful' victory, the "Big Stick" strategy tends to make sure that others won't interfere in your cultural pursuits by, say, trying to mount an invasion.
Unfortunately, my favorite strategy in Civ3 (M.A.D.) doesn't work so well in Civ4 anymore. KF

lol, it is. Just a quirky sort of humor... I've heard it compared to Monkey Island, and it isn't quite that, but it has a good balance of taking itself seriously and having that anime... flair, so that when I'm in the library playing it, and do an objection... I get stares, let's put it that way.Werefrog wrote:How do you like Phoenix Wright, Sonic? It seems like the humor at least would be up your alley.
I'll be trying that next game I play, certainly. And will somehow suppress my building urges. I got an absurdly high score in a duel game by conquering China (as Persia) very early. Having more players and being able to continue after doing something like that would be... spiffy.

Compare Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.AlasdairPalemoon wrote:Finally playing Shadow of the Colossuss (wanted to wait until it was cheaper, and now it's 20 bucks ^^). It's a pretty game artistically, though as an altogether package, I'm disappointed. Tons of hype can do that, though.
I should start up Tales of Symphonia, again...
The first one is great and i had a blast beating it. The first one was elaborated on GREATLY and is so much better that playing the first one is somewhat irritating and feels restricted.
SotC is awesome but has plenty of flaws and they MAY listen like Ubisoft did and make a second one that addresses everything you disliked about the first one. I'm very grateful that it came out and i hope they continue it.
As for ToS, why yes....yes you should.
