I just started back playing WoW a bit. Bought a Gameboy advance last month so going to play Golden Sun on it aaaaaand I'm super pumped for FF Type-0.

I'm prayin' and wishin' and hopin' for a March 2016 release. A year from demo to actual product seems reasonable to me.

The combat has been turn based in some of them, but since ten that hasn't been a set rule. 11 and 14 are online games, so they're not turn based. 12 had sort of a pseudo-MMO set up, but instead of controlling each character you set up parameters (like, ally: if character is poisoned, use antidote.) 13 was an active…

it just came out last year so you're not too far behind. :P

That dragoon is on point.

How'd you like God Emperor? It's rather different than the rest of them, but it's my favorite in the series.

Right now I'm reading Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Murakami. I'm enjoying it, though the only novel I had read by him before was 1Q84 and this one seems much less in the vein of magical realism. It has nice pacing and I find that I really care about the main character's troubles.

Tenten got pushed so far back into the supporting cast shadows that I don't even really remember any of her battles. Neji has a bunch of the more iconic battles throughout the series, though.

Looks like they're making that Alisha DLC free for part of February to "celebrate the 20th anniversary." I wonder if it will come with the American release...

This sounds appealing to me, but I'm a big fan of Etrian Odyssey. Difficult JRPGs do it for me.

On one hand, I'm upset with Best Buy and Nintendo for screwing it up. On the other, I got a PS TV for ten dollars after the $50 credit from Best Buy and playing Persona 3 on it has been glorious.

I downloaded Godus and played it for a while and, to me, it seems a lot better than most f2p games out there. I might be easy to please or just have low expectations for games on my phone, but I certainly wouldn't describe Godus as awful or evil.

I'm playing the P3P version, switching it up between playing on my Vita and PS TV depending what I'm in the mood for.

I don't dislike the social links stuff, I love it when I'm interested. I just don't like that twerp who is obsessed with his teacher. Or my sports friend who needs to stop working out so damn much because he keeps getting injured. My only issue is that I feel like it doesn't do a good job simulating because those…

I'm barreling through 3, but I have a high tolerance for some level of repetitiveness. I am kind of playing through with the good will and knowledge that 4 is probably a lot better. Not going to move on before I beat it though because I might never come back.

I like it a lot, but it's different than I expected. I'm playing the portable version which cuts out some of the more annoying stuff. I find the dungeon crawling and monster hunting really satisfying, but the high school simulation aspects are hit and miss for me. Some of the plot lines I'm really into and some I…

It was such a good trailer. I had never played a Persona game (though I've played Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga,) but I bought 3 right after seeing the trailer and I'm already halfway through. Going to play 4 next.

That's true. Honestly, the games I choose to play lean heavily Japanese. I do normally have some understanding of how well a game was received before I choose to pre-order it. The only Japanese games that get simultaneous release are usually ones where the quality can be assumed (like Pokemon.)

Because some pre-orders are really cool? I definitely go for the ones that come with physical stuff, like the figurines that come with Zelda games. Just pre-ordered FF Type-0, I have a weakness to steel boxes.

This has jumped from irritating to comically ridiculous for me. Hand over the popcorn.
