4 and a half hours in, finished bresha ruins. Serah is 40 rav and 8 com and 4 sent, while noel is 40 com and 6 sent and rav ( took role specific bonus at crystarium expansion), and yes, leveling is silly. I like it, but for fucks sake, 50+ levels in 4 hours, I almost feel like I'm playing disgaea. In any case, new chocobo song is pretty lame, as well as the idle chatter from everyone while riding it ("it's huge" or "he's mighty fast"). I do like the standard chatter from everyone while walking though, and the sidequests and simply expansiveness of maps has kept me entertained. I'm sort of pissed atm though, cuz in my demo run, I got like every monster crystal within 2 battles of each monster. This time, I didn't get most of em til after the fourth or fifth. Still don't have a hoplite either (commando bot) which was my main paradigm set up of 2com and serah rav. Oh and the genji bow pre order bonus was so worth it.
Regarding the pizza, did you see the size of that slice next to the box? Fucking monster slices for 3 bucks right down the block from the lamestop I was at. Too bad the pizza tastes like crap, damned mexicans. Also, what the hell is an all dressed pizza? Do mean an everything slice, or as common non new yorkers call it, supreme, or as essentially everyone else calls it with the works? I'm pretty well versed in my pizza lingo having lived in new york for....lets see, 1...2... All my life. Never have I heard that used for any type of pizza, including franchise places like dominos (ungh), sbarros (double ungh), papa john's (gag), and pizza hut (I like the p'zone, which is just a poor excuse for a calzone, and a step below stromboli). And now I'm hungry :(

Terrible death scenes followed by equally terrible resurrection scenes That was easily the worst part of Grandia II. I think it was a case of some staff members being unhappy with killing Millennia off, and shoehorning her in to the rest of the game at the last minute. It made her overly melodramatic "self-sacrifice" death scene utterly pointless. It was about as meaningful as Jesus' "sacrifice" from the Bible. I think the situation is similar to what happened with the ending of Metal Gear Solid 4, where Kojima wanted to kill Snake off originally (which would have been awesome and made the whole game worth all the bullshit), but Kojima ended up caving in to the staff who whined enough so that we could all be given that remarkably unsatisfying ending that we got, and Snake would forever be remembered as a giant bitch. Parn, I like you, but fuck your metal gear hate bro. That being said, I agree almost 100% with the spoilers.

I'm inclined to think either your hdd is filled with too many installed games, or maybe it's overheating. However, i could really be wrong.

Yeah, I don't recall anything move related aftet how lame sky dragon slash was. Ulf in general was just that other dude in my party. Can't even remember the gypsy chick's name. She was the least impactful character in a game ever. I mran seriously, I remembered Liete's name, and she was like the worst last minute addition ever.

That was my biggest gripe about 3, the battle system. It was actually fleshed out really well, but bosses sheer amount of health, and random battles that went from giving good exp to none really added to a terrible experience. Plus lvling skills was silly. Oh, and Sky Dragon Slash wasn't nearly as epic when shouted out by Johnny Young Bosch. He may as well have just shouted bankai and been done with it.
I forgot who pointed out gadwin and mareg earlier, think it was prime mover. I agreed though, they got done dirty.Which jerk was the one who replaced gadwin, the green haired asshole? God, I spent 4 days maxing out every one of his attacks and he still sucked balls. Feena too, but at leaat she was a girl. Don't get me started on Liete...failure on all levels. Mareg had the same unbearable shit happen in 2, and that sucked moose piss as well. At least he left like a boss.
BEAST FANG CUT 4LIFE!

Megaman is too awesome for his own good. That's why X never appears out of his continuity, he's even more awesome than his predecessor. Sure Zero is more powerful at first, but X....goddamn. Besides, X theme in the first game >>>>>>>>>> Zero's theme, and considering both are fucking wintastic, that's saying something.
I have decided to hold off on sf x tekken til I hear the final roster. If they place honda in it, I may get it still. Him and BBA Megaman will be my squad, and maybe kuma on my other days. I just can't understand why Capcom hates its most known icon so much lately? What did he ever do to them, besides make them money.

The first game is by far the best in the series because, honestly, there's not a thing wrong with it; it plays it safe in almost every area and feels like an adventure on a level than only Skies of Arcadia has touched upon since.
Justin is a tool and Feena, miss adventurer extraordinaire, devolved into a pathetic character. That being said.....Grandia 1 had... GADWIN!!!!! Grandia 1 is the best based on this alone. 3 was pretty, but the story was bleh, alfina was too squeaky, and boss fights were beyond drawn out. Not hard, just bosses had like 4 billion hp and you inflicted like 100 a hit, unless you power leveled to the extreme. Grandia 2 was great, cool characters (Ryudo and Mareg), fun combat, and a psycho bitch who sacrificed herself in a very awesome way. Course, the story blew chuncks, and Tio was the worst replacement for a character who shall remain nameless. Oh, and Melfice fight.....the laugh. The fucking cackle of pwnage. Never forget that laugh.
