Been in love with jennifer hale since her naomi hunter days in metal gear solid. She has a penchant for strong female roles, though her portrayl of jean grey in the newer wolverine and the xmen cartoon was a bit lacking. I blame how the character was written, but jean grey is normally a beast, however in this cartoon she was so weak, even as phoenix. Didn't show hale's flare for being the tough chick on campus. I'd marry that woman's voice nonetheless. She so sexy sounding.

...easy on the eyes too.


OhmygodohmygodohmygodnextweekdemoformasseffectthreeSQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First up, don't take it offensively, but most of the stuff listed here helps determine the fact that you aren't an old school gamer, you just like old meat and potatos rpgs. Nothing super flashy, but solid and substantial. Based on the stuff you mentioned on your list you like and don't like, it's pretty easy to make this observation. Also, seeing as you like some action themed rpgs, yeah old school is out the window. Again, don't take it offensively,as being an oldschool gamer  actually makes suggesting games harder because it means your brain can't think outside of pressing a button to move dialogue ahead. You seem to enjoy a number of rpgs, so suggesting games isn't that rough. Also, don't let easy games through you off, as difficulty can spike in many a good rpg, some of which are beyond simple to start with. One last thing before recommendations, look into buying a ps3 in the future. Digital downloads for some old ps1 rpgs is gonna be a lot simpler than trying to find a used copy of say, suikoden 1 and 2, plus ps3 does have a decent selection of other titles as well. K, onto the suggestions.

Wild Arms: Psx title, you own the sequel, should try the first. Good game by any standards, though the story can drift a bit. Great traditional gameplay, though I played the remake, alter code F on ps2 myself which has some ups and some downs compared to the original. Either will suffice though. Hell on that recommendation, I'd aim for the entire wild arms series. After 3, they switch to a newer hexagonal style battle field which allows for more tactical placement and strategy, and seeing as how you liked ffta2, this may appeal to you.

Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre: Out-fucking-Standing games, FFT being my personal favorite game ever. These 2 vs ffta2 are like comparing lord of the rings to the cat in the hat. Deep, tragic, and impressive vs...a cat in a hat. In terms of story, tactics ogre is the better game, but fft has a certain flare that I preferred, probably the simpler class advancement and progression. Both are easily available for psp and via ps3 through digital download to psp in case your local retailer forgot to stop being a douche and lower the price.

Breath of Fire 3 and 4: Psx titles again, though available on psp as well if you prefer the portability. Though 3 is arguably better, both games are pretty awesome traditional rpgs. Great stories, simple gameplay mechanics, nothing mind numbing to stress you out during a playthrough. These 2 are games for people who just want to play their rpg, not spend 45 minutes a dungeon asking which fucking way do I go now?.

Smt stuffs: a few platforms actually, this is stuff like persona series, nocturne, digital devil saga, devil summoner, and I think something else I missed. I personally don't like smt games, because they made them difficult due to overly complicated  stat weakneses, status effects that worked really well on you but never your opponent, and in the case of persona 3 a team of a.i. controlled asshats. Digital Devil Saga is probably the least threatening of the group, and doesn't involve pointing a gun at your head at any point either. However, if mindnumbing difficulty from handicapping you as a player is what you like...i won't stop you.

Star Ocean series: I know at some point you mentioned you didn't like the battle system in the last hope, which astounds me considering you liked tales of symphonia's battle system, which is basically the same on a 2d scale with 3d running. I'd try these games again if I were you, only give it some time. One of the perks of star ocea is as you progress, battles become far more intricate, and battle options really open up. If you still can't gey behind the last hope, try 1 and 2 out instead, though 1 is only available through psp if your in canada and the u.s. It should remind you of older tales games if you ever played those. Star ocean 2 is available on ps1 too, though good luck finding it.

My last suggestion if you still think you're super oldschool and just can't get past it is get an snes. Go play earthbound, super mario rpg, ffii and ffiii (v and vi if you wanna get technical), lufia 1 and 2( though you should play 2 first, it's a prequel and WAY better), secret of mana, and easily dozens more. Limiting yourself due to dislike of a system is a terrible thing btw. All the systems suck, as nintendo sony and ms are all a bunch of money grubbing assholes who care more about sales numbers than making customers happy. Course, people suck so you can't blame them too much, but yeah...fuck em all own everything and play whatever you want, no limitations.

I did, wasn't as taken as by the original ending, though. It was more like the evangelion ending in terms of leaving some hope for the viewer, first one still sucked every fiber of positivity out of you. Most of the paradox endings were pretty cool so far, my favorite still being the royal ripeness ending. Fucking hilarious, mog really hates noel, lmao.

Quick edit: now 160/160. Fuck that bestiary, worst forced task in a game ever. Ended using a bestiary list courteousy of gamefaqs. It helped a lot, as the enemies I was still in need of were everywhere, but there weren't many. Honestly took 3 hours of grinding to find em all. Speaking of grinding, 85% trophy completion now. Juat need the 100 CONSECUTIVE preemptive strike battles, secret ending, 1000 paradigm shifts, and I think one more before the platinum. Have fun with don tonberry btw, took me five attempts before he joined me, and he sucks. On a less important note, I nabbed a chichu. If you haven't obtained odin or a gold chocobo, chichu is pretty win. Also easy to find, if you know where to look...which is right here!

Too bad 5xx requires the whole run through. Even worse, when you go for the 100% bestiary, one of the last areas before the boss has a chance to pop one of two groups of enemies. However, after they spawn, nothing will respawn there, meaning you have to rewind the map and do it all again. So fucking lame.

Ahh, yeah that part did suck a bit. On the plus side, you'll shoot up a retarded amount of levels there. Just make sure you have 2 ravagers with some aga spells and you can tear it up. Even better if your commando has ruinga so you can literally cleave through enemies. Shame they drop nothing good.

So I hit a wall in game. Kind of maxed out my characters, most of my monsters, and and almost all fragments.  I think the game is gonna go on my shelf for some r&r for a week or two. Mass Effect 3 demo next week, rape that to shit, then maybe get more dlc if we're lucky for this.

An easy way to do it is find a hdd you like and contact sony or use their online helo and see if it's compatible. Like I said earlier, sony over the phone is very helpful from what I've seen.

Einhander is an awesome rail shooter to try out. I recently ran through that a few times. Give that a whirl for a non rpg title. Other good non rpg games i could recommend are castlevania sotn though yeah it has a bunch of rpg elements, mega man legends 1 and 2, Silent Hill (still pretty scary for its age), tomba, tekken 3 which is AWESOME, and off the top of my head still probably resident evil 2 because 1 just doesn't feel all that scary.

Honestly, I preferred rpgs on psx to most other games. Most of the action and adventure titles on psx haven't aged well, so going back to those is kind of painful on the senses. At least ps2 stuff still holds it own more or less.

Twilight Odin level 99 get.

Gotta say though, he's a bit underwhelming. He attacks and moves slowly. As someone else mentioned earlier, he's pretty predisposed to using ruin which takes forever for him to cast, leading to missed opportunities for serious damage. Plus he's really green looking....idk it just irks me. May swap him out for amodar after I level him up. Still at a loss for what my third slot should be in my paradigm pack, though. Should I go for Lightning and have the hottest chick of XIII beat shit down, or should I stick with a medic and continue using noel and serah as double ravagers? I've beaten nearly everything so far, and with the exception of one fight which I shall rant about in a moment, have had no trouble really.It'd mostly be for show and impressive beatings, plus eye candy.

Biggest bullshit fight ever, btw. Caius during one of the paradox ending set ups.You only have serah and a monster, so it's a 2 on 1, but for fucks sake, everything you can do he can fuck you to and decimate you in a heartbeat.He has a really annoying combo that always launches you and stuns while it's in use, so no attacking or healing, he uses blast wave which hits for wound damage, and it does a good chunk of wound damage at that. Then he has two super buff moves, "absolution" and "body and soul". The first one sucks because it removes any debuffs you hit him with, and gives him protect shell veil and vigilance, but the second one is SUPER FUCKING LAME. It gives him all offensive buffs, but the kicker is it gives him regen, and if you haven't noticed regen in FFXIII-2 yet, it's cheap. Unlike every other FF game so far outside of cheating with it in VII, regen doesn't heal for a lot of hp, just enough to periodically save you some healing. In XIII-2, it works like anti poison, which again, in xiii-2 is broken. They do damage at a percent based rate. For arguements sake, let's say they'd do something like 50% health in a 1 minute period. Regen does it as restoration, and when you're chipping away and trying to heal and your opponent has a healthy supply of hp, you're fighting a losing battle. Oh, and di I mention Caius hits like a freight train? His regular combo is about 5-600 damage, but his specials moves all do upwards of 1k, which he likes linking together in succession. Didn't mention Inferno, which does normally 2k, but when he buffs, 3.5k easily.. OH and THE MOTHER FUCKER LIKES TO THROW IT BACK TO BACK. 8 retries to beat him, and I had to turn the difficulty down. I finally cheated and tried a sentinel strategy, meaning I let my silver bird take a beating while I used saboteur and poisoned him a lot. I'm embarrassed as an rpg player and as a man I had to do that, but goddamn it he was cheating. Plus the ending they give you sucked, it was so lame.

Now my arm hurts, fucking ranting.

Serah has the best blonde moments ever. Her and Snow make the perfect couple. In the offset chance of a xiii-2 movie, stallone for snow would be perfect, and make serah paris hilton.  Genius fucking casting.

So I just need the last 3 paradox endings and the bestiary for full fragment completion. Dunno if I wanna bother with platinum yet, seeing as there is more content otw. Already at 70% trophy completion. Best trophy so far was giant fist, aka max damage in a single move. I was fighting ultra super final boss 3, and the jerk used dying sun on me as I went for noel's meteor javelin with him at 999% chain bonus, which was gonna kill him. Sure enough, trophy pops up, boss finishes dying sun, part was wiped out. He was dead too, but caius said screw the rules I am immortal, and I had to fight him again. Such bullshit.

I gave her a lightning mask, so I can have my lightning with my lightning. I gave amodar the red propeller. He looks so cute now.

Just finished getting lightning and amodar. God damn talk about low crystal drop rates. 10 fights for lightning, and another 3 for amodar. Btw, Lightning is a beast, and amodar is just seriously strong. I still wanna work on odin before playing with them, but goddamn are they broken. They're early peakers, so lvl 20 caps sadly, plus they're 5 sta....err monster, so they need the expensive materials to level up. Gonna have my work cut out for me. Good thing bestiary is so annoyingly long to finish.

Lol, same here. 153 and bestiary is one of em too. It's okay though, gives me time to power up lightning and odin.

So I was reading some data entries and read the coliseum info, and it says its for warriors of every age and every reality. I think I smell cloud/sephiroth dlc in the future. God, can you imagine the sheer amount of money squeenix would rake in doing that?

Take the elevator down to floor 49 after you beat the relevant boss. I assume you are referring to Augusta tower 200af, right?

Anybody wanna share some omega dlc codes with me? I wanna fight something hard now, hell the shaolong Gui wasn't that hard once I played with some good sentinel paradigm switches. Nothing like ultima going from 4-5k down to 1.5k in a quick stroke. Now Yomi was a fun hard fight. Prick bounced around for a solid 18 minutes throwing everything but a moogle at me, and then followed up with random spats of standing perfectly still to gloat while his shield cured ludicrous amounts damage and blocked everything. Fun times.

Meh, already put my 4 faves on my phone (aka music listening device) so am good now. As long as I have "Ruler of Time and Space" to listen too, all is well.

Question, does the ost appear all in moon runes when imported off the disc? I put the whole 4 disc soundtrack on my ps3, and it's all in japanese.
