@Dragon Quest IX being good: If you have liked any Dragon Quest game, you'll like DQIX. It has a lot of content, and character options are deep for a game that is dubbed "classic" or "old-school." If you can get any friends to play with, it's a good buy almost for the multiplayer...

Okay, normally I find it irksome when people brag about stuff like this, but I didn't find it too bad to complete the Armamentalist quest. There's so much luck when it comes to dealing with metals, and the more turns that are taken, the more luck is involved. So good luck isn't really much to brag a...

Hey, eharpher. Happy to see this thread pop up. :) I, of course, play PnP RPGs. I like them; they're a difference experience than video games, but what makes one enjoyable tends to overlap with the other. I felt the way you did, Maxine, before I had much experience with them. It all seemed so esoter...

Dragon Quest IX here. Got my main as a Sage currently, using Gritty Ditty and Hustle Dance. I should be getting Luminary soon. My group has been liking multiplayer, and just like with D&D, the four of us filled up key roles in the party when we go into maps. All the outfit hunting has been a big...

Why does No. 17 cry?

I am very curious how they will pull this off. The 3D effects for the dungeon are obvious, but it would be nice to see some layers on enemy rows, Maybe some better spell effects. Oh and ugh, the horror of a FOE in 3D as it runs you down. Yeah, I don't have a clear picture of what a 3D Etrian Odysse...

Random is bleh. Reminds me of one of the Gameboy SaGa games where Mutants can just randomly learn new spells. With limited spell slots. Awesome >>. Oh, wow. I loved this game (Final Fantasy Legend II/SaGa Densetsu II). I was so psyched for the remake, which probably will not be localized now. I act...

I went with a lady and a gent and I cried more than I ever did in a movie theater and I was a little embarrassed *gives noodles a peanut butter cup* So would you say it was much better than the first two movies? I've been hearing many good things about 3. I'm happy tonight because I received an une...

[spoiler] In The Last Remnant, there are three primary stats (Strength, Magic, Speed) and then a 4th stat unique to all characters. The 4th stat is just ... kind of there. The coding never seems to call it (then again, I don't think it even calls it when checking for stat gains post-fight) and the n...
