It looks like a webcam image to me, and those usually have a "mirrored" setting in them for some reason.

Guess he just didn't notice. Or care.

Oh, good point - might be webcam, which might explain why he's sitting so low.  Haha, still surprises me what people will think will be "enough" for an eBay listing...

It's still better than no picture at all, right? :-\ Some people on eBay can't even be bothered to put a picture of the actual item for sale.

Which is funny because you're supposed to use a pic of the actual item since a while back.

Yeah, I'm surprised by how often I see stock photography used.

Nah. Ebay provides you with a stock photo a lot of the time. I usually replace it with my own.

Yeah, for some reason games & movies I believe are the 2 categories they still allow stock images. But I won't buy from anyone who uses them, feels like they're trying to hide something to me.

And here I am, taking images w/ our expensive camera & making sure the lighting, focus, etc. are all just right when I list stuff on ebay. :P

I have to say Suikoden II keeps continuing to surprise me. I really like seeing faces from the first game making a return and the new characters have their own unique quirks. I'm anxious to see more interactions with all of them. I'm glad I'm using a guide though. If I wasn't, I would have missed out on some things already. @_@

I'm really glad to see you're enjoying it. I sometimes wonder if my love for that game is nostalgia based or if it really is as great as I think. Seeing someone with a completely clean slate enjoying it is always awesome  :).

Yeah, I was worried about it being one of those "hyped" RPGs but it's turning out to be a great experience. That said, there are some things that I like more from the first Suikoden. The thing that immediately comes to mind is the castle hideout. The first game had a relatively simple yet functional blueprint. In Suikoden II, I keep getting lost. @_@ The same can be said for some of the towns. Bigger isn't always better. There are other minor nitpicks, too. But, all in all, a great experience so far. I love going to RPGs from the "golden era", especially if they're ones I never got around to playing before.

IMO, FF VII was one of *those* games :-\

No.

Not so much too hyped but, more a case of my disappointment when playing it, for not living up to the epic & incomparable  greatness; as advertised.

That said, I didn't play it until last generation and - had I played it when it was released - I'm sure that I'd have thought more of it & seen it in another/better light.

I didn't hate (or even dislike) the game...just, IMO, it was a pretty meh (7/10) game.

I can totally understand that. The same thing happened to me the first time I played Chrono Cross. The sad thing is, this was on its release day back in (I think) 2000. I thought to myself, "This...is it? Meh..."
