Just defeated Serpens Rex , ....how hard was the Azure Sea ...seriously ? It took me one hour to defeat him as he kept healing ...and he is basically an early boss !!

Dialouge is ok in my opinion except Taupy ...he isnt cuddly sounding.

Been playing some GTA4 and noticing how much smaller VC feels after being so in awe of San Andreas...I'm still relatively early in (I was only just introduced to the internet cafe, even though I had already found it on my own while exploring), but there seems like there's less side missions, but I imagine that will open up more as the game progresses as always...

I really hated GTA4 so much I just sold it a few weeks back. It's just bad...
I don't know how to explain but the story is so bad that it made me want to skip all the missions and just do whatever until I got bored of it.
It can't be compared to San Andreas or Vice City. Even Bully is better.


Yeah you get more but they have more story than the normal side mission that you do on other GTA's.

If you like it is good but I didn't really liked it that much.

Anyone else here played World of Goo?  Got the game a while ago and started it yesterday.  Yet another example of a game you'd expect to be really boring yet is surprisingly addicting.

I knew it... we'll get a FF7 remake before a new Chrono title for sure :x

No kidding.  I remember being put off because of the shift to pokey, 3-D graphics at the time, but it was the enduring fanboy hype that's made my skin crawl since then. 

I've come to think of FFVII as the RPG genre's equivalent to Titanic, with Lenny DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.  Both from around the same late 90s period, both solid works in their own right, but the overkill in terms of hype and fandom just kills it for me.

And I thought they would first remake V and VI before finally doing VII. Guess that will have to wait even longer, if at all.

And this...Surprises you? 
It's getting to the point where nothing Square does to make us mad is surprising to me.

Make us mad? Maybe FFVII will be good this time! lol, y'never know...

How well did Nostalgia do? Do we know if SE has gotten Matrix Software to do any new upcoming games? Because I really liked how well they did with FFIII & IV on DS (& IV-2 looks like good, oldschool fun and is from what I've heard) and I can't really imagine anyone else handling V & VI...

This just got posted there:

Quote
FF-Reunion updated with a quote from and a summary of the story from the Famitsu issue in question (which is about Cloud's popularity, not FFVII).

Nomura tells Famitsu that there is no remake. Cloud might appear in other games (like Dissidia -Final Fantasy-) but not a remake.

Damn. :(

Great.. Just what we need. A new generation of Sephirothitis

I keep playing Mass Effect and while it rocks, VIDEO (damn that looks cool) keeps making me wish I was  playing ME2...! And I'm doing way too many of the sidequests in both ME and GTAIV...>_>

Will I ever get to Bioshock & Oblivion? V_V

@FFVII remake: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I've been playing Secret of Mana lately, and I'm getting owned. I have no freaking clue why. I'm actually pretty sure I don't know how to play it completely, as I figured out that I could charge my attacks after 2 dungeons. Ugh. But it's a great game, I bought it like, 2 years ago on the VC and just began to play it. Also, I'm still playing Tetris DS. How could they have made a game that addicting?

Ack! My gf started a game of Oblivion (as a Wood Elf) and it sucked me in so I created a New save (even though I still have my relatively new Khajiit Rei save file) as a Dark Elf (named Maou)...I apparently like making characters who resemble other game characters...Which reminds me of when I played FFTactics once, got rid of all of the regular units and hired people until I made a group all with Crono & Co. names...I even made a lot of their specialties similar...>_>
