RPG Progress Report

Thanks to you guys I breezed through Ipsen's Castle and was doing fine until that earth shrine boss. Had to backtrack and level Quina up and get the appropriate gear. Found Daguerro by accident which was nice. I'd forgotten how much I miss world maps. I'm now going to do some side quests before I set off for

Terra

.

Yeah, I had a similar reaction to him when I first played through the game. But after a couple more play-throughs I realized he has a bit more depth than I initially gave him credit for. If you're still iffy on him by the end of the game, check out this article that a friend of mine wrote on why Kuja is actually quite the underrated villain:
Kuja: The Most Underrated Final Fantasy Villain of All Time

And yes, the Desert Palace is hell.[/quote]

Thanks, I'll check that out.

EDIT: Double post.

Not convinced by Kuja at this point. He seems like they wanted to put Kefka in Sephiroth's body but he's just really bland and cliche, even for a jRPG villain.

But his outfit....

Just entering Darm Tower in Ys.

The first half of this game is so much better than the second.

And so far this is the easiest version of Ys I've ever played.

Been playing Valkyrie Profile Lenneth non-stop since last night . Damn that game is addictive.

Just finished chapter 1 and already sent a third recruit up to Asgard. Really digging the dungeons and characters. Music has also been pretty awesome.

This game was a steal at $7 I highly recommend anyone who doesn't have it to scope out their local game stop.

Good choice, Fragems. Once you start you can't stop.

Well Ys is shorter than I remember.

Or I guess it becomes "short" once you've played it 100 times.

Playing Shin Megami Tensei IV on the recommendation of some of you here on the board. Getting really into it, the game is a lot of fun and pretty addictive. I'm around 9.5 hours in and level 14. The game just got to the point where it opens up and I'm pretty excited. I've found 2 transporters and am looking for some more. I've also got a lead on where to find the base I'm looking for in the main quest. I've got a bunch of side quests to do and there is some exploration to be had.

I love the music in the game and the general mood/feel of the game universe. I'm a sucker for weird sci fi. I'm becoming a fan of the series. I feel like I've now got a whole series of 80 hour games to add to my back log.

Nah, it's short the first time too. I've only played it twice though.
