Huh. That was a welcome (albeit unexpected) turnout.

Lost Odyssey - On the 2nd disc, about 14 hrs on my file thus far. Quite a fun game thus far, but the first true boss of the game (Grilgan on the Ipsilon Mountains) is BS difficulty. Thanks for an attack that can hit the party for ~200-ish damage or so, can be spammed multiple turns in a row, and your best methods of healing from that are items that heal for, like, 100 HP, if that. Jerk :evil: .

My copy of Demon's Souls came in so ... sunk in a few hours (or 5).

[spoiler]Started as a Wanderer and I was so disappointed in myself for pretty much dying instantly against Vanguard T.T

1-1 was pretty simple, though I kept randomly killing myself on the Red Eye Knight guarding a Soul >> Picked up Cling Ring, Thief Ring, and saved dumb fuck Ostrava (I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO while I wander in a circle). Phalanx made me laugh a little what with the recent discussion on phalanxes here; that said, he was pretty much /yawn

1-2 ... >> Managed to not die to the dogs (seriously, dogs always fuck shit up) but kept fucking up Tower Knight; killed him on my fourth try flawlessly which made me happy (which was pretty much luck on only having two back-hops). Well, almost flawlessly I guess; an archer hit me at the start because I suck at life :(

Think I'll go back to 1-1 area with the two dragons and grab the rest of the treasures; the Winged Spear on the 1-2 bridge is nice so I wager there's got to be something good over there.

Avoiding walkthroughs as best I can for this~[/spoiler]

Edit: While I'm at it:

Mana Khemia 2 (just size, light on spoilers)
[spoiler]Nearing the end of Phase 7 (of 9) and ... hm. Story is alright, I suppose, but it's really more comedic than anything for like half the game.

Also, I haven't tried them in awhile so maybe the later voices change but god damn, the English VAs are terrible. And, sadly, they HAVE good talent; I suppose the biggest offender is Laura Bailey (Rise - Persona 4, Raspberyl - Disgaea 3) as Ulrika and the atrocious southern accent she uses. Ulrika's JP voice has no hints of "country" or "hick" in her at ALL so I really wonder why the did this T.T

Gameplay wise, the combat system is fun albeit very easy (like, ridiculously so). The synthesizing is still fun and I spent way too much time 100-ing everything I could (and being rewarded for doing so via the Grow Book). To be honest, it's a rather fun game; not sure how I'll feel on the second playthrough for Ulrika's story but for now, it's still entertaining.[/spoiler]

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (ditto)
[spoiler]Oh god, I forgot how much random humor they interject into the game ("I didn't recognize you guys in high def!"). Stopped playing these games after I dumbly erased my save file on one of the PS2 ones years ago T.T

Anyway, I normally don't like platformers but god damn, Ratchet and Clank is fun. Unfortunately, I spend a lot of time trying to farm Raritanium for Weapon Upgrades and/or killing things to farm "WeaponEXP" for Weapon levelling >>

Oh well, the game is fun to play for an hour or two at a time and run around shooting things and platforming. I will say that the first level is pretty fucking epic though. Picking up the next game thanks to this >>[/spoiler]

Edit2: >> Picked up Madden 10 (so I can stop stealing the copy my friend owns) Sunday ... it price dropped Monday. Before mine shipped. I still got charged full price. God, I have terrible luck this week with pricing shit.

Well, he WAS working on:

FF13
FF Versus 13
FF13 Agito
Dissidia
Crisis Core
3rd Birthday
TWEWY
FFVIIACC
KHBBS
KH358/2
KHCoded (does this even fucking count?)

Of those, only Versus, Agito, 3rd Birthday, and I guess BBS (for another two weeks anyway) are left. So ... yeah. He needs to keep himself occupied haha.

[spoiler]'course, it could be a much older game that he worked on too. We can then add Chrono Trigger, Musashi, Ehrgeiz (...), The Bouncer, and Front Mission to the list I suppose.

Including all the former FFs and such too.

...

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]FFV remake for the DS finally announced? FFVI since it's so much more awesome? Meh, whatever, I'm not much for guessing on this stuff.[/spoiler]

Easiest Hellion battle ever in EOII.

[spoiler]I managed to poison him on the first turn, and soon bind his head. My Dark Hunter's Climax was at level 7, so the battle was quickly over. I am a little sad it was so sad, however. I'm still using Scy's Super Duper Team, by the way.[/spoiler]

Put Sora back in his place and show all of the KH yaoi fangirls how much of a Sion Barzahd clone he is :P
