What RPG are you playing right now?

Been playing a lot of FE: Radiant Dawn. Great game. I miss the Support system in Awakening but otherwise the game has far grander battles. The story is pretty gripping too. Lots of dialog.

I was in Gameshlop today and saw The Last Story, a game I never really paid any mind to. Think it would be good for somebody who prefers shorter, more action packed RPG games like myself?

Hm, I knew the WD crew had an adversion to Sony at first but why was this ported to the SS? I guess if they were putting more games on the system, why not... that & it was late in the SNES lifespan (but b4 Terrinigma & SMRPG IIRC).

Well WD had nothing to do with the decision to put it on Saturn. That was up to the developer, SunSoft. The game didn't end up being released until 1996 (in Japan) and I assume by that point it was assumed AO would fare better on a 5th gen console.

Not doubting you... but how did WD have a say later in the game in their boycott of the PSX (& then flip back over due to Bernie joining Sega)? If WD is translating & publishing, they have some pull. I obviously don't know enough about the dev/publisher relationship lol.

Well decided to replay through Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and what better time than when my gameboy player came in So far this is amazing playing these games on here....kinda nice to be able to do this...

This may be shocking but a few hours ago I began to play

Ys.

[alienjesus]

I've picked up FFVII and started to push through it again. The story picks up a bit near the end of disc one. Shame thats like 20 hours in.

The game is getting better. It's enjoyable enough now I'm in the right kinda mood for it. It's still probably the weakest of the Final Fantasy games I've played so far though.

WD was just a localization company. Their boycott was simply them deciding what platforms to localize games on; the game needed to appear on that platform first before they could localize it.

You play Ys? Yeah that's a big shock I need to get my vita out and finish playing through it...just haven't gotten around to it even though it's fun...

[BoneSnapDeez]

I've been known to play an Ys game from time to time.

[Jagosaurus]

Ahhh makes sense Popo. I though always thought they published as well.

@ Bonez... what's your take on the DS Ys Book? Been eyeing it for a bit now.
