Played too much Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I love this game. Fire Emblems are just about the only games I finish multiple times. Now working on my fouth PoR playthrough, hardmode. My Soren is a god of war, but my Oscar is kinda broken. He is L16 right now and has 7 magic and 12 strenght. Ah well, if he continues this, I'll have a good candidate for the Fire lance.

I should keep track of this, or something...

Shining Tears
Suikoden IV
Shining Force: The Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Wild Arms
Final Fantasy X-2
Dragon Quest VIII
Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Fire Emblem: Path or Radiance

I've beaten Fire Emblem three times in the three weeks that I owned it. Currently working a my HM playthrough -_-

Sorry, you feel that way, but you don't seem to put much thought into your posts. If you explain things properly in your posts, people won't find you irritating. For instance, asking for advice on what game to get is okay, but it's a good idea to explain in the opening post what kind of games you like and which games you have already played.

You could always level. Leveling solved a lot on normal difficulty.

And to be quite frank, talking about turn-based RPGs getting canceled and then mentioning Ys makes you look like a fool :)

Ys is an action RPG series :P

Dark Cloud 2 a very enjoyable game. Since you loved Atelier Iris 2, I bet you'll like Dark Cloud 2 too, it also has a huge item creation system, you'll be building whole towns, inventing items and making weapons. But, be warned, it's an action RPG :P

Have you tried the Grandia games? Shadow Heart series? MegaTen games? The new Wild Arms games? All nice turn-based games.

I wouldn't be too worried, those developers will move to other systems like the DS and PSP. It may hurt the library of the PS3, but it could be good for other systems.

IIRC the journalist from the first Front Mission plays a tiny role in Front Mission 4 :)

Meh... my brother used to be afraid of peanutbutter.

They must have edited that, first they said it was 1948 :)

You wish. Dutch players may not earn 10-11 miljoen, but they do have contracts that are worth a few million. It can't be that different in other countries.

I remember we all thought Square was on crack for making Kingdom Hearts. Now people love Kingdom Hearts.

Now I just don't know what's weirder, a RPG starring Chopin or a Japanse Xbox360 RPG :P

I remember watching a documentary about North Korean schools. A big part of the documentary was about Anne Frank's diary being read in those schools. The goverment wanted children to make the connection between America and Nazi Germany. They interviewed a couple of children and it was so clear everyone knew exactly what to say, word by word...

They also showed a North Korean university and students being thought English. They were having a discussion about the internet. One of the students said his brother was studying computer science and that he worked with the internet. Again, this felt so forced it was hard to believe.

My mom wonders why everyone is worrying about piracy now, she remembers taping music and Commodore64 games from the radio. Pirating is old, internet just made it bigger and easier.

Not that I think pirating is good, I just don't really get why everyone gets so worked up about it. It doesn't even make people like J. Lo. that much poorer, because most stars sell tons of merchandise.
