I believe Natsume owns the name "Harvest Moon", so Marvelous has to call it something else. But I did not realize the connection between Natsume, XSeed, and Marvelous despite recent developments.

I loved Lufia II's puzzles. A lot of newer games, in accordance with graphical advancements, have puzzles that require you to think and act in 3 dimensions, and I always struggle with them. Maybe I should have been born flat?

Wh-what? I've never been asked what I want before, so now I've been put on the spot.

This is going to be a hard read. I'm going to need several sessions to fully digest the article.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't employment in the film/TV industry heavily project-based? So the unions act as a support network when one is in-between projects? (like providing health care plans)

Damn, when I looked at the thumbnail, I thought it was a pile of _good_ games. I was expecting someone to swim around in the pile like Scrooge McDuck.

Oh god, this thread is doubling as the Most Annoying Mascot Character thread. *bangs head against wall*

The pain of being a partial lefty. I have no idea which hand I'm supposed to use for gaming. x.x

It's weird that there are two difficulty levels below normal. I wonder if they'll get retitled for international release.

Thanks for streaming some Persona Q, by the way. I woke up too late to catch most of it, but it basically confirmed my expectations.

Ohh? Tell me more. I haven't played Xenoblade. Actually, I haven't owned a proper Nintendo console since the NES, but I'm considering picking up a Wii U at the rate things are going.

We're getting the cards in NA, per the article: "This ultimate collector's item is being made available in North America and will come in special packaging that includes the following items".

Yeah, it has a lot of new characters too. I'm not saying it won't be a worthy game by itself- I'm just too sluggish for modern fighting games. Not sure if I want to try to button mash through another fighting game solo...

I already have vanilla Arena and I'm really not a fighting game enthusiast, so it's a stretch for me. I need to consider my options carefully.

Goddammit, don't do this to me. Don't split your swag like that. What a crass move. >_<

I love jumping.... but only jumping that is inconsequential and is not necessary to avoid getting killed. When I play a game that lets you run around but not jump, I feel agitated. Actually, running is important too. Gotta go fast.

Obviously, the games didn't sell well enough, otherwise there would be more of them.

I went back and read the review. Can I grind for skills while I'm grinding for gold, or will I run into caps? How's the plot? How's the ally AI?

I can't think of a single specific moment that's changed my outlook... it's been more of an ongoing process.

Drawing inspiration from different sources and creating an artificial language for the lyrics - they went the extra mile. The music is good enough to compensate for the other flaws.
