now i'm hungry
and can't get this one song out of my head

That raises an interesting question about D1:

Have they confirmed characters will be set?
It could have a job system like certain FF games.

I think they're okay but it doesn't seem like they would mesh very well.

This seems like it deserves recognition:

Have you heard it in Japanese yet?
"Don't break your speakers. There's no crow, just a Tidus."

I wonder if these students could see through the fog in the TV world from Persona 4 or at least without glasses.

I remember that game as being really glitchy, especially the world map, although it was many years since I tried it.

What about the ghost ship in Shadow Hearts?
edit: maybe also the dark rift in skies of arcadia?

I never got the complaints about the sewer dungeon, it was alright with me, and Babel had badly designed platforming.
Dat sand canal in WA3, Life in the Sands (optional) in Nier, most of the dungeons in Tales of Legendia and Symphonia.

They need to be cute. ◕‿◕

I thought last year was going to be the year for this series.

If you ever happen to get a (Nintendo) system that has a Fire Emblem game, you may want to try those, since those come to mind as being well known for difficulty.
And strictly on PSP, you may find Knights in the Nightmare up your alley if you're willing to learn a complex system.

It seemed to have middling reviews overall, but I think some people like its simplicity because a lot of games try to be innovative and Hexyz Force just wanted to be intuitive.
