I think you're still better than me xD I was at the final dungeon in the normal story and like, "I guess I'll just mash these buttons here. Oh, I guess that killed the thing. Okay."

That's a good point on the accepting it thing. Still a bit frustrating though!

I finally sat myself down and managed to get to Airy's second form fight, but she's wiping me out with Flare now. I think I just need to change some abilities and equipment around, but I'm finally getting down to beating this game. I really…

Oh I know, Asbel just made me want to pick up a nomadic life somewhere in northern Alaska and forget that stories even exists. The potential he had and the -2% he lived up to it absolutely frustrated me. Sophie I was... sort of okay with. She at least had an in-story reason to be kind of a dolt, and it could be…

Confirmed: There are two Pokemon in this game. More as this story develops.

Red and Blue were already remade for the Gameboy Advance as FireRed and LeafGreen while Ruby and Sapphire, original to the GBA, have yet to be remade at all until now. They probably think everyone's ready for 3rd gen to make a comeback since 1st gen technically did, though it's been long enough now that I think…

Only a badass could be like, "So I'm wearing clothes that rival that of Vegeta's first Earth outfit. Whatever, bros. Gonna win this shit."

You're right, but unfortunately the enhanced PS3 version was never localized, so unless you're decent at Japanese you're shit outta luck.

As for crossing off your list, man, so many people sing Symphonia's praises, but I saw an ex play the first couple hours of it a few years back and uggghhh you think Graces is…

I might honestly Let's Play it, but I'm also in the middle of Chapter 7 out of 8 so it seems like a cop out hahah. I'll definitely take your suggestion about the soundtrack though; that and the setting are the two things I've been majorly digging all game. And jobs. Because jobs in anything are great.

I've kicked it down to easy at this point too, and the crazy thing is, I usually LIKE grinding, especially when it comes to jobs, but I'm just wore out. I want to get the true ending because I know there's more bosses, which sounds weird to say after my previous statement, but I've really like the boss designs in this…

The scene where Yuri and Judith finally meet (as in Judith revealing herself to be, in fact, Judith) is still one of my favorite scenes in a JRPG today - most likely followed by pretty much every Yuri scene ever. He's a badass that simply becomes more badass while still receiving a decent amount of characterization…

Aikage, you were so close. You have to threaten me indirectly or directly to get my love, remember? You might have a longer way to go than I thought...

Yeah, see, I honestly play Tales games on easy because I really don't enjoy action RPGs. I have heard from a lot of people though that Graces' gameplay really makes the game worth it to those into it for the battle system. Personally, I play turn-based RPGs for difficulty and story; action RPGs, well, I don't play all…

I would say if possible give Vesperia a try after completing Graces (it's uunfortunately a 360 exclusive). People who are into Tales games for the gameplay love Graces since the battle system is much more robust apparently, but it sounds like both you and I aren't all that much into it hahah. Vesperia's I thought was…

I'm in the middle of Chapter 7, so I've gotten a good way through Ringabel's story. I did some of the sidequests in Chapter 5, but I did what you advised and just left them to their own devices. I think what's annoying me is that the story is so sparse throughout the chapters that it could have easily been condensed…

Oh, it was terrible. The worst thing is that I actually had a lot of high hopes for Graces too. I'm usually not a fan of childhood arcs, but I feel like the one in Graces sets up a lot of interesting stuff that SHOULD HAVE affected the characters in the long run, especially Asbel. I thought, "Okay, I see where they're…

I mean, I get it's existence in the story, but that many times? They're dragging it out on purpose it seems rather than letting it support the narrative. I'm always a little annoyed when I have to re-fight bosses in anything (I'm looking at you, Okami), but this is ridiculous. You and I might have to join hands in not…

I'm sad to hear that :/ Though that does make me excited to play Earthbound. I've heard such good things throughout the years, and I've just never gotten around to it. Now's the time!

I got to the last dungeon months ago and haven't had the heart to beat it for some reason. How are you liking it? Personally, I think it was a bad idea for me to go from Vesperia to Graces hahah.

I only put about 5 hours into Mother 3, and I honestly don't know how I feel about it either. I want to give it another shot once I'm more able, but something didn't grip me the way I thought it would. I just got a Wii U as a gift, so I plopped down $10 for Earthbound. I've never played it, but maybe after doing so…

(Minor Bravely Default spoilers maybe?)

I've played a lot of older stuff over the years, so when reviewers started lagging on Bravely Default for its less-than reasonable last third, I thought I'd be mildly annoyed but overcome it just like any other convoluted task in old JRPGs. Nope. Instead I'm 60+ hours in and…
