I'm actually going to talk about THE GAME.

The beginning stretch of this game is very railroady. You're an angel who's supposed to do good deeds, which translates to being forced to pick up horse shit off of the floor to proceed. I resent being expected to care about the minor problems of a world full of retards, especially when it involves shit. I'm in the middle of playing planescape, so it's jarring to play a game where you MUST be the sort of dude who will pick up shit with your hands, rather than having a choice. Do the developers think it so important that I pick up that shit? Is it supposed to teach me a lesson about life? Or is it just their way of laughing at us?

I think these games are pretty piss-poor about giving true roleplaying experiences. For example, I want to roleplay the experience of crushing that paris hilton fairy's skull between two rocks and writing FAIRIES GO HOME in fairy blood on the town square, but since she lives in the user interface I'll probably be denied that quest.

Also, I think they need to fire koichi sugiyama. This music is like a stale box of crackers from your grandma's house.

OVERALL: I like it so far. I just want to murder the fairy.

I like the game. I can't wait to connect to a friend's world and steal his treasure. I'm PUMPED about the time that will come where I can have a boomerang. I'm just disappointed (not in a surprised kind of way) at the game's lack of creativity.

Final Fantasy is Dragon Quest inflated with too much air and covered with glitter and sequins.

I gave etrian odyssey an honest, long try. The lifeless, non-animated world eventually lost my attention. The enemies need at least basic animation. Why grind for hours and hours if I'm basically looking at static images? It's an approach that loses the power of imagination that you get from pen and paper rpg's while neglecting the moving image potential of the vidcon.

This game is kind of starting to have a story!

Look at each town and its accompanying dungeon as a chapter in a book. The first two chapters were written by the author falling asleep with his head on the keyboard, and having his editor come along and add some periods to it. But the third chapter is when the author woke up and banged out something respectable.

Legit copy. No slowdown noticed.

Yes, some of the attempts at dialects are ATROCIOUS. That fishing town with everyone who said YOOER just perplexed and irritated me. What were they trying to do?

Dreadful is a wonderful word, and perfectly applicable to this game's attempts at humor and characterization. I'm still plaything the hell out of this game, and love the prospect of scouring the world for useful stuff and building my character and all that stuff. I just want that fairy DEAD.

My party's lineup is very different than yours, but the continual casting of acceleratle won me the battle.

None of the slime grinding before the post game seems remotely acceptable. I watched video of someone doing it in the bowhole. Sitting around and waiting is for the boredom of real life.
