Skies of Arcadia's only real flaw is the battle system. Near the end of the game, battles take forever.

Legend of Dragoon is PS1. It's on the Playstation Network now.

That isn't the most unfortunate part of the Z.O.E. designs. The designer took the term 'cockpit' a little too literally.

I thought the history and the world in FFXII were fascinating, but it gets bogged down by the fact that Ivalice, while pretty, looks rather samey, and also because of that huge chunk in the middle of the game with pretty much no plot progression.

It's the same as the one in the game, right?

It also really, really really needs a better translation.

I thought it was funny.

So I've finally been able to play it since my friend visited. I really like it. Oliver is kind of dense, but it looks really pretty and the story is interesting so far, along with a pretty good battle system. But the difficulty does spike after reaching the desert.

Did you play Strange Journey?

The Wii translation was one of the most uneven bare-bones things I've ever seen. You get one word when the character has a monologue, none of the characters really have any personality, and the translators didn't even try figuring out a way to translate the dialects. The only game Ignition really gave a good translation to was El Shaddai and that was more because it didn't actually have all that much stuff to translate. I think they were mostly just lazy.

It's a first person dungeon crawler.

Yes. Nintendo doesn't have the best track record for budget re-releases, especially considering the Wii is dead in their eyes.

Throw the Granstream Saga in there because it was intended to be the spiritual successor to the series. Of spiritual successors.

But, yeah, the Quintet Quartet deserves so much more than it got. And Terranigma really needs a better translation. It just implodes at the end.

That would actually take them more work.

Eugh...Atomos in HD. That would be utterly horrifying.
