Well I don't know much about it yet. I've only played it a little bit. I think I need to read some instructions or something. I was told to make good use of the Item World (every item has a world inside of it you can use to increase the strength of that item) but once I got in I had no idea how to get out. Also, it seems that all of my characters besides my main character are really weak, since every single one of them dies during every match. It really feels like the real fun happens as you get stronger. Apparently the maximum level is 9999, so that should be crazy.

So yeah. I have high hopes for this game and it's too early to realize any of them yet.

Our hearts merely beat as one, jp.

Also, I installed a small camera in your living room and have been wearing your underpants. Hi!

What do you make of Disgaea besides the exploding prinnies, Roto? I've been avoiding those games for years. SRPGs and I don't tend to mix well. Case in point? The eighty hours I logged on FF Tactics PSP between December and March.

Minus Lair, your playlist is alarmingly similar to mine. Are you stalking me?

I downloaded the demo of Bionic Commando and enjoyed it. When Sony decides to start selling PSN cards in Canada, I'm going to be all over it. (It's seriously like they don't want my money.)

I've been playing Soul Calibur IV. I've completed Arcade and Story modes with everyone and now I'm working on maxing out everyone's level. (It doesn't take much time per character, but there are like 32 of the suckers to get through.)

I also started replaying Final Fantasy XII yesterday. My PS2 was on the other side of the country for six months and ever since Final Fantasy Tactics A2, I've been jonesing for some more Ivalice fun. I got it back yesterday, but my memory cards (as well as my approximately 25% completed second playthrough save file) were mysteriously missing. I went out and bought a used memory card and got down to business. It's really one of those games that's a lot better the second time through.

My friend gave me a copy of Disgaea in a desperate attempt to turn me into a Disgaea fan, so I'm also feeling some pressure to give that more of a try. I played it for about an hour but my exploding prinnies kind of threw me for a loop. I'm going to try to get into it a bit more later tonight. Or tomorrow. Or something.
