Collecting all the Studio Ghibli films available in English on Blu-Ray is a current goal of mine. I never really felt the need before since I could just borrow the DVDs from my dad, who's also a Studio Ghibli fan, but, y'know, I don't actually own those, and I recently came to the conclusion that as a fan, just…

I will always be a Studio Ghibli fan. It's been in my blood since childhood. My favorite of all of them always has been and always will be Castle in the Sky. I originally saw it in raw Japanese, couldn't understand a goddamn word but I still loved it.

We don't necessarily know what kind of a deal GameStop made for sure, unless you know of a credible source that says otherwise. What is plainly obvious is that GameStop DID have at least some part in getting the game over here and that they had a timed retail exclusivity deal on it (aside from the Nintendo Store).

Smartest? Finally releasing Xenoblade Chronicles in North America.

My reply seems to have gotten eaten, so here it goes again.

Personally that whole kiddy feel is kind of the whole point of it for me. It's a mixture of both JRPG and Studio Ghibli, two things 10-year-old me grew up with and I still love to this day.

Definitely Secret of Mana. The first RPG to truly capture my heart with the spirit of adventure. There are many RPGs that came later that I feel capture the same spirit to a degree, or maybe even better. Some may even have come before it.

Okay I hate to bring up Wild ARMs again - scratch that, I don't care, I love the series - but the Wild ARMs series, or at least the first two games, had an excellent way to deal with random encounters. I can't remember if they kept it for WA3 and beyond.

I can't believe I didn't think about it until this morning, but Wild ARMs: Alter Code F. It still doesn't even make much sense even when you know it's a remake - an ALTERnate retelling of the first game.

"Bravely Default: Flying Fairy tells the harrowing story of a winged pixie who can't afford to pay off her mortgage."

Yeah, the super-human thing was the wrong angle to take on that. There's just something about the whole motion with such a large object that looks more and more awkward to me the more the gif repeats. It's perfectly fine in the movie though (since it doesn't repeat like that to give you time to notice).

Jason, while I actually love FFVI (It's my favorite FF next to FFIV) and don't really find the World of Ruin portion all that flawed at all, this article is freaking beautiful. Especially those last few paragraphs. I tip my hat to you, good sir.

That's....No. All hi-poly and pretty only seems to make the ridiculousness of that motion with a GIANT FREAKING SWORD suddenly just painfully obvious. I mean, I like Final Fantasy 7, but I don't care if he's super human, there's just no way.

"...and if it isn't, we demote it to escort status, as we did with Tales of the Tempest."

Final Fantasy Adventure was such an awesome part of my childhood. And a perfect lead into Secret of Mana, one of my favorites, if not my favorite game of all time.

Wild Arms 2 is actually my favorite of the series. But the opening theme to the first game will make me tear up with nostalgia as soon as the whistling starts, if not sooner.

I'd even go for a remake. Say an HD remake of Suikoden III for PS3 or Vita. I'd buy that. They could even tweak the battle system so it isn't quite so slow and boring. That was my only problem with III. Storywise, III is actually my favorite from last gen.

I've wanted Suikoden VI ever since I finished Suikoden V, which had rekindled my faith in the series. They never delivered. Instead we got Tierkreis which I only sort of liked as a mediocre spinoff.

As a consumer, I'm doing my part - when the games DO exist. But it's a really hard problem for us to help fix as consumers because in order to vote with our money against this bullshit, we have to be given the CHANCE to do so.

Indeed, Bravely Default would be awesome! Just drop the rest of the title please.
