How is the crafting system? Are raw materials easy to find? I hear equipment can be transferred to new game plus, so that might help persuade me to grind for extra materials.

So, this might be me being kind of a brat, which I admit, I can be. However, I was shooting the breeze and looking for video game footage for Dreamcast games on youtube. I found this video by someone named Metal Jesus and, I guess, he does a variety of gaming related videos. That's neat and all, but he has this guest on here who apparently wants you to buy his gaming guides. I always thought that people who sell guides or instructional videos knew their stuff. However, this guy does two things wrong.

1. He calls Skies of Arcadia an RPG game. That just annoys the hell out of me. "Ah, so SoA is a role-playing game game."

2. When he discussed Sword of the Berserk, he mentioned how this game was inspired by Cloud from FF7. The Berserk series had been around at least 7 years before the PlayStation.

My question to everyone is, has there ever been a video or an article by a "reputable" source that just said something to make you raise an eyebrow and question their authority?

What songs have afflicted you all, in this manner?

Lollipop by the Chordettes. The bad thing is that you can use any word/name with three syllables and substitute it in for the world "lollipop."

I just sent my list. I put 10 games on there that I have had my eyes on for a few years but never got around to owning.

I kind of figured. I recently found the PS2 launch title Evergrace for super cheap and decided to give it a shot. Since I'm rather intrigued by the story, I was thinking I could just PAR the game but...it's not listed. Oddly enough, other launch titles and some rather contemporary titles are listed. I was trying to figure out a way to add the game, but I couldn't find anything. ~_~()

Are Game Shark codes and Pro Action Replay codes interchangeable for Playstation 2 titles?

Absolutely loving the Senran Kagura OST (*not sampler*) that came w/ the LE 

A lot of it sounds like different arrangements of famous & recognizable classical pieces; but done well.

KASH -

I couldn't resist the Riannon + Arawn DLC's either 

Arawn, unsurprisingly, is a beast (King of the beasts?) 

Good to know. I'm hoping Arwan makes the campaign towards 100% easier.

Thanks so much for the impressions, dark. I think the most effective way of earning the platinum (if that's still in the cards) is to play two files. First, go through the game on Easy while earning the bonuses. Also, you don't have to S rank all of the battles. Just most of them, if that's any consolation. After you finish the game, you have to deal with the brutal bonus dungeon. Then, attempt to beat the game on hard.

Honestly, this sounds like it could be a really fun game to platinum but then it pulls a 180 and it sounds awful. I'm on episode 21 of the anime and I decided to purchase Rhiannon and Arwan DLC since I am loving those two characters. Maybe that will help things.

I got your PM. I'll be sending you a reply once I'm done with a meeting I have to attend. ^^

Regarding the tooth thing...gross. Feel better. But gross. XD

Regarding Wizardry. So, I have this thing about me when it comes to collecting. For the most part, I like to collect the entire franchise if I really enjoy one or two games in the franchise. Here's an example. The Tales series is my favorite series of all time, but there have been some real stinkers such as Tales of the World and Tales of Legendia. However, since I like the franchise as a whole, I still own them. Another example: Tenchu. Love, love, love Tenchu. Again, though, there has been the awful Tenchu DS and the original Tenchus haven't aged very well. Still, I own them.

So, if I really end up enjoying Wizardry, that would be another franchise to collect. I'm all for adding to the collection, but I have to play a few games in the series before I do so. Are the Wizardry games cheap? If they are, which ones besides the PS2 game should I try?

I'm still going through Kartia and enjoying more now than I did back in the day. Toxa's battle theme is fantastic. I think I'll be listening to that soundtrack at work today.

EDIT: Hmm, so the game is from a first person perspective?

I haven't looked into Wizardry. At least not yet. Do I need to play other games in the series to enjoy it?

Welcome! Brazil seems like a fabulous country. It's one of the many places I'd love to visit.

I would love to hear some impressions on Tears to Tiara II, just so I know what I'm getting into when I finally set down the time to play it. ^^

I'm the same way when it comes to sleep. I need to be somewhat chilly or else I won't be able to even get remotely comfortable. You can imagine that I have a pretty high bill in the summer. XD

In other news, I have been semi-replaying Kartia for the PlayStation. I doubt I'll finish it before Tales of Hearts R because I decided to alternate between Toxa and Lacryma to get a better idea of the entire story. I doubt Kartia will win any awards, but damn is this a fun SRPG. I enjoyed it when it was first released years ago, but I'm actually having more fun with it today. I told dark that I recommend it and if anyone else enjoys a good SRPG, I suggest giving this little underdog a go.

Also, 'DAT MUSIC!!

I actually love the heat. If it were in the 80s to 90s all year, I'd be pleased as punch. Luckily, middle Tennessee doesn't really get bad weather. Right now it's raining, but we are still in the mid-50s.

I'm sure I missed some folks, so I'll welcome all of them in one giant welcome.

WELCOME!! <3

A few things to clarify: I'm fabulous, I'm an RPG player, I'm breathtaking and I'm an habitual liar. That last one is the most important.

you don't say...

 

darkypoo, editing my post to your liking isn't tantamount to gentlemanly behavior.
