it has become cliche to post this very list of cliches how post-modern

PSP has the best library ever. Seriously.

Good for you. I'm sure it was real convenient to bring your Compaq Presario with you anytime you wanted to play PSX games on the go. I know you're a DS fanboy, Kak, but let's get real here. DS undoubtedly has a good library, but it just doesn't stack-up to the likes of the combined libraries of NES, Genesis, Master System, SNES, TurboGrafx-16, PSX, Game Boy/Color/Advance & MAME. It really doesn't.

Custom firmware and emulation of pretty much any (PSX and earlier) system ever have made it so. Refute this if you dare it but deep inside your heart you must know it to be true.

very nice sig, btw

I did the Mindflayer hunt earlier today, and it was tough. I prevailed in the end although I did have to use a megalixer. It was neat seeing the Mindflayer in 3D after killing them so many tines in FFT.

I just got the Golden Amulet from one of the hunts and man is that thing awesome. Double LP? Yes, please.

Just because the characters don't have "true characterization" doesn't mean a character can't be interesting or cool or likeable. Most of the cast of FFVIII were more developed than the characters in FFXII, but they certainly bored me to tears.

I don't know what you're trying to say here. I don't have any problems with the story or how it has been presented so far, and I enjoy the whole textbook history they have come up with for Ivalice. I actually find it very interesting, and that is what I was trying to express. I like political intigue. I like that the plot focuses more on the poltical "why" than the mystical "how," and it just kind of irks me to see people complaining about that aspect when there are literally thousands of other RPGs available that pander to the demographic who likes those stories. Also, you constantly compare the story to something out of FF or FFII which simply isn't the case. The "bring down the Empire" premise may be old hat but it is presented here in a way that to my knowledge has never been done before. I never said that there was no room for improvement, what I said was that most likely they are going to do away with a lot of the innovations that FFXII brought to the table in an effort to play it safe and pacify the thousands of whiners complaining how it "isn't a real Final Fantasy" because there is no battle music/random battles/turn-based battles/job system.

I think when all is said and done, FFXII is going to ruin other RPGs for me. Also, it is going to be sad when they (most likely) step backwards in terms of gameplay in the next installment. Also I like Fran's ass, and her voice actress is durn pretty too, imo.

hmm, that's kinda weak also, it looks like the only local places to get online for sure with my DS is McDonalds. I should just buy one of those adapters, I guess.

I'm guessing because it isn't an "emotionally driven, ambiguous plot" personally I was getting tired of those

?

ok, I have been trying to connect my DS to the interwebs at local hotspots, namely, Starbucks. However, I have tried at several locations to establish a connection to no avail. What sort of arcane magicks must I utilize to get my DS online?

that's a bummer, man Also, you must realize that to whine is I-n-j-i-n's nature. That can be the only explanation for why he must do so in every post.

Like UE said, best FF since Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, I think Vagrant Story and FFXII might be closest as far as the loose chronology goes (Vagrant Story takes place in the Kingdom of Valencia which is present in FFXII's Ivalice).

pwb get clubhouse games if you haven't already so we can play some card games I got it but no wi-fi yet. I need to get one of those Nintendo Access Points or w/e they're called.

I'll wait for Heroes of Mana. A portable RTS? Yes. That is made of so much Win I don't really know what else to say but it is easily my most anticipated game for the DS.

I literally just finished Feel the Magic: XY/XX, making it the first DS game I have completed thus far. It was neat, and a fun distraction, but what I really want is to find a copy of WarioWare Touched! Ain't no better place to go for Mini/Microgames than WarioWare.

I got my DS Lite about two months ago, and I must say that I have never bought so many games for a system in such a short amount of time. I just picked up Phoenix Wright today, but I haven't put much time into it yet (although I am playing it right now). Anyway, these are the other games I own-- Metroid Prime Pinball Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team Clubhouse Games Feel the Magic XY/XX Contact Trauma Center: Under the Knife What else would you say is worth getting?
