    Recommend me a JRPG

    You can try the remake of Chrono Trigger for the DS.

    IMO it features all the components you are looking for: Complex battle system, characters that are not always cliché, the storyline is very interesting.

    Dunno if I totally missed the spot, just an idea here.

    cheers.

    Uwe Boll movies are great.

    You don't count Spirits Within as an actual spin-off? I do!

    Just because it's not controller-able doesn't make it less of a FF story to me. :-)

    Suit yourself, I see no relation to Final Fantasy in this movie whatsoever - not even the small cross references (Dr "Cid", a little "Chocobo" on a shirt...).

    But to each his own. Aren't tastes wonderful?

    I wish Uwe Boll had tastes... :(

    I guess the main problem is that those movies are advertised as movie adaptions of video games, whilst most of them do have that much in common with the actual game. I find it pretty cheap to draw audience that way (who remembers the Final Fake-asy - Spirits Within? - I know it's not from boll, just the prime example of drawing-techniques)

    That point aside, if I let the titles of the movies vanish and just value what I actually see on screen, I seriously think I can spend my time better by doing something else. I just do not enjoy movies that are bad paced, no matter how many well known actors play in it.

    It's a shame when a movie bores me that much that I fall asleep (dungeon siege, per se).

    I find it sad when I think about all the things that could have (easily) been improved to make the movies just plain better overall.

    Are you kidding, she was in her 90s I doubt she could use a computer

    I'm afraid I must disagree, as I know a handful of people who are close to their 90s and know exactly what emulation is, what is does, how it works and how to use it.

    Old people are not bad at computers at all once they put down their fear of technology - that's the biggest issue in most cases.

    On the topic: A sad story indeed. RIP gaming-granny, may your gaming spirit spread over the world even in death, as video games is what binds us together as one.
