Warbringer - At the Crack of Doom

PS1 games downloaded off PSN work, eliminating regions.

But disc games are still regioned.

FUCK REGION CODING!!

Skies of Arcadia.

I absolutely love the atmosphere of the game. There's something about eliminating the sea and replacing it with air that intrigues me. But man. It's got some really cool gameplay, characters you grow attached to, excellent graphics (well.....for it's time, but I feel it still looks good), an epic soundtrack which captures the feel perfectly for every event the game has to offer, a decent length, and an incredibly positive plot. Because of how positive the game is, I feel that it's more-or-less an anti-FF7. On top of all this, it's incredibly addictive. I'm pretty sure no other game has ever kept me up until 7 in the morning.

Chrono Trigger is also one i'd consider.

Valkyria Chronicles.

Next thing you know, he's gonna be proposing to you with a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. :3

I'd be quite jealous if you guys got the first cover.

Sepultura - Mass Hypnosis

Why did they have to turn to shit? Just why?

IX has Vivi. X has Tidus. All of your arguments are invalid.

But I've always loved the atmosphere of FFIX. The fact that it's sort of FFVI-like. Also, Amano does some bloody amazing artwork.

Ohhh, now THAT is expensive.

Anybody hear of a release date for Australasia, while I'm here?

That really isn't expensive at all....

IT STILL DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A HORROR GAME!!

In any case, that was a pretty sweet trailer. Another game to look forward to!

On the topic of piracy, I'd recommend Skies of Arcadia (see what I did there?). While it doesn't sound like you have a Dreamcast, you can always try and find the Gamecube port, which was the version I played through and loved. It's incredibly addictive, and has incredibly exciting moments. I also love how positive the plot is, and the ship battles. And yes. It has a wicked soundtrack. I don't know how rare and expensive the game is over in Canada, but if you do find it, I would highly recommend it!

I'd also give Grandia a go. It's easily available on PSN these days for about $10. The art in that game is simply beautiful.

Oh, and I second Star Ocean 2. Forget The Last Hope. Seriously.

Voivod - Astronomy Domine (Pink Floyd cover)

Worst: II-III-XIII-I-V-XII-VIII-IV-X-VI-IX-VII : Best

I doubt I need to explain why II's my least favourite.
