today I learned that a character can become "lost" if you fail a revival and then they are gone forever.  yet another stupid game mechanic to make me reload the file lol

Also I wish I hadn't made a priest and a bishop now.  Wish I just had 2 bishops instead >_>  too lazy to grind a replacement for the priest though

I believe there's a "Register" option in the guild that lets you create characters (thats what I think it's called anyway). 

I will complain that there is no digital manual with the game.  A new player like me is most likely going to be confused when they see a stat called "PIE" much less know what it actually does.  I know it's piety and affects being able to be a priest/bishop class but I still have no idea what the stat actually does.  I could look it up of course, but games shouldn't require you to look up basic crap like this elsewhere

I went with the female dwarf as my main.  I've noticed the "main" characters have different colors than the ones you can make.  Is there any way to change the colors of other party members you are making?

cool that explains it

Radiant Silvergun is a lot better than Ikaruga btw (imo). 

Unfortunately that isn't a new design....that's his SCIV artwork

anyone know why treasure only made this for 360?  ps3 guys without a 360 just kinda miss out on this (that bangai-o remake too).  I've got the Saturn version but I just can't help but wonder

maybe try this site http://www.yesasia.com/us/en/home.html though I don't know that they have what you're looking for (they might though)

I've gotten some things from them before with free shipping, though it only applies for certain things and I don't recall the minimum purchase amount.

Gundam 00 started off especially slow I thought.  There was almost no interaction between the main characters for the first 4 episodes or so and they didn't really tell you anything about the characters either.  It felt like "boom anime characters in mechs fighting and stuff!" and I almost gave up on it.

I don't like Gundam Seed either I got bored after a few episodes.  Hope the new code geass is good...

turn order is just based on your agility rating right?  I don't know what you mean about things being left to chance in battle, it really didn't feel that way to me. 

I've only played EO3 though

I like the artwork for this game.  The Black Dragon looks really cool

hmmm.....maybe a bit similar...but I don't like soul nomad >_>

Yeah I saw my friend playing Chaos Wars and decided not to get it despite some of the characters in it (from growlanser and gungrave especially).  The whole idea of cross over RPGs is kinda a turn off for me.  

As others have said, there really isn't anything like Dragon Force.  Alisha:  Yggdra Union is similar in some ways but also not.  It does have a military campaign feel and the battles are similar in that you don't actually have much control once the clash/battle occurs but other than that they are very different.  Yggdra Union is extremely linear by comparison.  

I was wondering about that recently.  I will have to join up.  Certainly my favorite publisher these days. 

I bought Basilisk recently and had the choice of DVD or Blueray for the same price.  The blueray might look better, it might look the same for all I know.   I decided to go with DVD for utility reasons.  If i get it on blueray i can only play it on my ps3.  If I get it on dvd i can also play it on my laptop and other people's dvd players if need be.
