I've seen some games have Shibuya- oh wait thats Tokyo too o.o;

Everything's variations of Tokyo. But always Tokyo. Why not put some Okinawa love in there?

Nuuuu! Not the Kingdom Hearts thread nya~

And Parasite Eve, Brave Fencer and SaGa series~ x3

[ViperAcidZX]

I'm surprised there's not a The World Ends with You thread here. At least the Kingdom Hearts thread is not ancient like the other ones that I found...

[CephiYumi]

I didn't even know half of those existed ^^;;

[ViperAcidZX]

Neither did I... until I took the time to look for them...

[CephiYumi]

Wow, PS3 version got a way quicker release than pc! 

And yes, Amazon obviously messed up, jus thought it was funny ^^;

[Acid]

Cool. FF14 was released 4 months ago.

[CephiYumi]

This about the MMO?

Copypasta.

Copypasta everywhere.

Aha oh wow. Even the chat is censored.

[CephiYumi]

This about the MMO?

If you look above a have a snapshot of amazon saying it came out in March this year (incorrectly)

And also it's really fun, probably my favorite MMORPG ever so far ^^

Then I might get the PS3 version to save hard drive space, I tried installing the trial, and daaaaaammmnnn.. What huge files! I bet they connect to the same servers as the PC version.

[CephiYumi]

Yes, they will more than likely connect to the same servers

Does anyone know what this Final Fantasy 3D in my "upcoming DS games" list is?

[Acid]

Final Fantasy Gaiden AKA Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light

[Align]

No, this one is coming out in 2011 (theoretically) for the 3DS.

...Although I guess it could be the same game with new graphics.

[Acid]

Maybe the next game in the 3D remake series.

Which would be FF5-3DS

[Align]

I'LL BUY TEN COPIES

[Jericho]

Maybe the next game in the 3D remake series.

Just to add some fuel to the fire, there was an interview with SE stating that they didn't want to remake V and (especially) VI on DS since they felt as though those games needed more than what DS offered. A few weeks later, the 3DS cover letter got "leaked" to the internet...



In other news, I've played and finished Chrono Trigger for the first time in my gaming life, and now I realize that I. NEED. MORE. CHRONO. I wanna try Cross soon, but I hear that it's a real downer after playing Trigger...

[Align]

Chrono Cross is nothing like Trigger and might be more enjoyable if it wasn't related storywise either.

I'll still never forget this conversation I had with the Ninja Lou one night, as we were hanging out, eating chinese food, and watching something...

PB - "So Lou, I've beaten Chrono Trigger a few times and gotten the different endings. I'm curious about something.

Ninja Lou - "Sure, go ahead."

PB - "I'm curious, does Magus ever find Schala?"

Ninja Lou - *puts down his fork and just sighs*

PB - "What? What's wrong?"

Ninja Lou - *sigh turns to disgust* "THAT is what Chrono Cross was suppose to be, or should have been."

PB - "...it wasn't?"

Ninja Lou - "Nooooooo...."

Then he proceeding to explain the story.

[Jericho]

Oh I know about the issues with the story thus far. In a uncharacteristic maneuver for myself, I went and wikied some of the very basic threads between the two just because I loved Trigger's storyline & mythos that much. What I found though was something so "HOLY [parasitic bomb] WHAT? WAAAAT!" to me that it's now easily tied with Legends & Jet Set Radio at the top of my "game series that deserve a 3rd entry after years of hiatus".

[spoiler=Semi-Spoiler Thoughts]I think that Cross isn't really trying to be all "lolgrimdark", it's just that there hasn't been another game there to offset the bleakness of it's storyline yet. This also leads to a fun little assumption I got with the games so far. If Trigger started everything, & Cross tied them together, what would Break have done..? ([tornado fang], I love this kind of [parasitic bomb] so much, why oh why didn't I pick up on this series before? )[/spoiler]

[Aresian]

Well.

I guess I am once again a minority. I liked Chrono Cross, a lot. Granted it wasn't a "proper" successor to Trigger, Cross wasn't bad at all.

Granted I think a lot of people played it when they were too young to fully comprehend the story, I've found that after playing it again a few years prior to my first time playing it, I enjoyed it even further.

But to each their own I guess.

[Jericho]

From what little I've read on it, I think I'd enjoy it just as much as I enjoy Trigger, but damn, it's a pretty jarring shift.

[spoiler=One more for good measure]Forgot to mention that the main reason I stick by the "Cross won't be bleak if the third continues the story". The reason I stick to this is mainly due to the whole myth behind Leene's bell. You could look at it and say it only meant "Happily Ever After" for the events of that game, but if those events are being tampered with thanks to forces beyond the control of the mains there (through Serge's natural dimensional hopping), wouldn't it make sense that the bell's tolls are saying that "everything ever" will be ok in the end by virtue of being a part of the Chrono lore/story?

Yeah, this is kinda reaching, but I like it so far. [/spoiler]
