OH BITCH.
THAT IS NOT FAIR.
so im fighting beatrix in cleyra, right? and vivis like right near trance. like one more hit and then i can lay on her fira and thundara in the same turn.
she uses stock break to end the battle.
vivi goes into trance mode.
 :x :x
one thing that i hate about ff9's trance system: it does not carry over through battles.

Well, at least the battle ended.

And while the subject still lies with it; I should continue with FFIX. Of the ones I own, IX is the only one (except III) that I still haven't finished. Last time I got up until when Dagger and Steiner left the party at Lindblum. Yeah, still in Disk 1 and that early. But I have been busy with other games (like Super Robot Wars and Yggdra Union). Oh well, IX will have to wait.

One of my brothers has started re-playing (for about the 20th time) Star Fox Adventures.  Apart from the graphics and soundtrack, the game is laughable at best, but DAMN does it have a good soundtrack!  I just downloaded legally acquired the entire thing just this evening and am listening to it now.  It's fantastic.

What's wrong with Adventure's Gameplay?
It's a Zelda clone.

The gameplay is alright and I'm not going to deny that it's a fun game to play / watch, but the storyline is just awful.  You didn't want to impale Prince Tricky in the face every 2 minutes?

It's a starfox game though, the only Starfox story that has a point is Command. The story is terrible, though.

It would feel more like a real Star Fox game if you stayed in your ship and didn't have to fight dinosaurs.  Ya know?

FUCK

I HATE TRICKY

GODDAMN

Adventures was good, but it's obviously not Star Fox, just Dinosaur Planet with SF tacked on.

Command I hated, mostly because of how slow it felt, how repetitive it got, and how clunky the controls were even for an early DS game. And what the hell was with the method you were forced to use to destroy the motherships? "Fly into the bottom of the ship while barrel rolling, boosting and firing a missile!" It was so dodgy to control, too.

Oh and I'll chip in and say I like what I've played of Assault, but I had to resort to other methods to play it since it's such a rare game (extremely limited supplies outside Japan it seems); I'd gladly go finish it but the burned disc glitches out when it's supposed to be loading a certain scene and leaves me running around the room in the third or fourth mission.

Miyamoto apparently wants to keep trying new things, according to the guy in charge of the US localization. Shigsy then said recently that he was disappointed and wondered why Star Fox wasn't faring well anymore. GEE I WONDER, why not get up and actually work on a proper Star Fox game instead of whoring it out to third parties? It'd save so much time and stress.

...Gotta play the Star Fox 2 beta/translation hack sometime, I keep forgetting about that.

SNES Starfox is by far the best, but I can't get more people to play it because it's not on the Virtual Console. Come on, Nintendo! Put your own damn games on there! Like Earthbound, you assholes!
Stupid %^$#ing NOA.

Command is alright just because I can play Starfox when I'm not home.

Muramasa the Demon Blade.

Insanely good game. If you're into high-action side scrolling hack-and-slashing type games, then I really, really, really suggest this title. I mean, I got it for Christmas, and I'm addicted. The artwork is incredible (perhaps Okami has a competitor now?), being that the entire game is designed like old-school Japanese Wood-Block art, with smooth animations and incredible environments. Not to mention, the action in the game is intense during the battles. Horde of enemies, large bosses - everything that a good arcade fighter needs, it has. If you want to learn more, just play it. Because it's that amazing.

Soul Caliber...what is it now...four? That's a great PS3 title. Plus, you get to play as Darth Vader.
