It's also a pretty quick play if you don't worry about all the weaponry smithing too much (which scared me away from beating it several times). I would love to see a revamp for that if only to figure out a better interface. The story is wonderful, and it's hard to believe that so many people don't know about it. :(<br /><br />And I respect your ability to enjoy those! I'm able to do it when there's plenty of charm (DQIX was the goshdarnbest, and Bravely Default looks like it's going to be wonderful!), it just gets hard when (with games like FF) it feels like it's a lot of copy pasta.Zachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-8001592471061284962013-12-14T13:30:27.867-08:002013-12-14T13:30:27.867-08:00I know I'm a dying breed, but I still prefer t...I know I'm a dying breed, but I still prefer turn-based battles in RPGs. Always have, always will. As such, I'm sad that pretty much every RPG made/released these days ditches turn-based battles for ones that are more "active." BTW, you've reminded me that I've never played Vagrant Story and really have to do so in 2014...thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-90200383332218299212013-12-14T13:22:21.809-08:002013-12-14T13:22:21.809-08:00Yeah, Tingle will be a long-term investment. And y...Yeah, Tingle will be a long-term investment. And yeah, the battle system is really whacky! But it really satisfies my desire for another Final Fantasy XII. It's complex enough to keep me on my toes and requires me to be invested in combat, which is something I've found in recent years to be difficult for me to do with JRPG's like the older FF's. I love them, but I think games like XII and Vagrant Story are wonderful evolutions from the genre that need more... attention, I think is what I want to say?Zachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-36877987106466461132013-12-14T11:10:55.853-08:002013-12-14T11:10:55.853-08:00Sounds like a good list to me, Sam!

I really want Tingle's Balloon Trip of Fun, too, but I'm not going to get it until I know more Japanese myself (and that's going to take some time).<br /><br /><br />As for Xenoblade: I hope you like it!

I was tempted to ask for a Wii U or PS3 but I remained strong and didn't. I also thought about asking for New Super Mario Bros. 2 but I decide I'll wait till my birthday since it's in the summer and that's usually when game releases seem to be a bit slower compared to the rest of the year.Monster_Hunter2882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-5883792213458401972013-12-14T09:45:44.524-08:002013-12-14T09:45:44.524-08:00Last year I scored a European copy of Tingle's...Last year I scored a European copy of Tingle's Rosy Ruppeeland, so this year Tingle's Balloon Trip of Fun is sitting at the top along with the fancy new Zelda (hopefully the carrot and stick I need to begin my independent Japanese studies). I actually got an early gift in the form of Xenoblade, so mine's already off to a wonderful start! :)Zachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-50577318828389365722013-12-13T22:50:35.066-08:002013-12-13T22:50:35.066-08:00Oh, that sucks, Terry!

That sews up my gaming budget awhile, but I'm getting Grand Theft Auto 5 as a gift from a friend. If my parents send cash my way, I'll probably buy Tearaway for the Vita.Zaphod65https://twitter.com/terry_estepnoreply@blogger.com
