Yeah I think I'll explore with the chocobos until I max out my current Crystarium, then beat the game, then go back to Pulse. I don't think I'll do 100% hunts though, I have other games awaiting my attention, including Muramasa, thanks to your backlog chronicles! :-)

Yesterday I decided :

It was announced on the US blog, I don't know about Europe... I've never played it much, only the demo, but it was definitely a great demo.

HAHAHAHA, YES! :-D

What are the symptoms? I've noticed mine does a little more noise than it did when it was new, but I thought it was just dust... I should probably open it and clean it up.

I don't really know if that's what you were aiming for, but I'm imagining this as kind of a Kinect prototype with J Allard teabagging someone through motion control. :-P

My reaction : puzzled look followed by uncontrollable fits of laughter.

That about sums it up for me as well! :-D

Oh yeah also, Xenogears on PSN. That's right.

Xenogears coming to PSN as a PSone classic on tuesday.

Yeah that's it! I just unlocked a new area in Pulse so I think I'll explore that first, but I'll probably leave the harder hunts for post-game. Just got my ass kicked by the Giant Cactaur, that guy is just insanely hard!

It means they wanted to give you a star, but didn't want you to get cocky about it.

I'm a handheld fanboy, but I have too many games, I don't have time to get into a long, involving tactical RPG! Thankfully it's also on PSN, so even if I can't find a physical copy I'll still be able to play it sometime.

Hm I'm not really feeling that one. I'm curious to see what others will find though.

I've been doing a lot of hunts in FFXIII lately. Is it just me, or is Pulse a LOT smaller than it looks like initially? It really gives this impression of an endless landscape when you first get to it, but it really isn't that big once you start exploring...

@Bouzi: Go Habs Go!: I tried the Japanese demo, didn't really understand what was going on but I was definitely interested. I hope they bring this overseas!

Aaaaw thanks! :-D

I liked mine :-(

Just so we're clear, Guile's theme goes with EVERYTHING. Even Radiohead's new video for Lotus Flower.

True that. People keep saying it's going to be a "slow burner" and that "you have to give it multiple listens", but I just don't think the payoff is worth it. Radiohead's best stuff is immediately gripping, you shouldn't have to give it some time.
