then, you should play arc rise fantasia, the only thing not good about the game is the voice action, the difficulty is high,the story starts to pick up early in the game, and there are about 50 optional bosses and Rogresses(like magicite from FF6).
I love a difficult game. :) what platform is it on? Also, does it have random encounters? Those are a deal breaker for me.

It's on Wii. By difficult I presume he means grindy. Ya gonna grind.

I don't think ARF is particularly good in all honesty. It's pretty mediocre from story to characters. It had a good take on turn based combat but the difficultly fluctuated pretty badly. The voice acting was fantastic in a its so bad its good way.

the game is so difficult; my party was at level 41, evryone with about 3000 HP, i fought a boss with 32,000 HP, nothing so huge or difficult, but after this boss, i went to a desert cave and there was a guy with a huge Ass axe( can´t say the name or his cause;heavy spoilers), that had 87.000 HP.... his main attack, Volthorn, dealt over 3000 damage with my characters defending..............
i had to buy phoenix potions and good equipment, that made my party revive 3 times after being KO´ed......

it´s on the WII, i´m playing on Dolphin actually,it runs 70-90% when walking and battling, 100% on cutscenes and on the world map.

well, almost no, cu´z you can see the enemies on the overworld, but some of them runs very fast/very slow through corridors, making them impassable without battling, some enemies can spawn out of nothing and attack you.
and watch out for enemies that are pallete swaps of the enemies that you´ve already confronted,They are optional bosses that yeld HUGE amount of Rico(gold) but no EXP.

I don't think ARF is particularly good in all honesty. It's pretty mediocre from story to characters.

the story isn´t that oscar winning thing, but it´s start to be good when shit´s start to going down on Antrax parish.

After trying to play Dishonored with a broken finger and accidentally using up all my bullets, I gave up. So I decided to try Skyrim and even though I was blocking accidentally sometimes, it wasn't as bad as wasting all my ammo in Dishonored. So now I've been playing Skyrim and beat the first mission. :3

I beat Star Wars: KOTOR the other night (fuck that final battle), and I started on KOTOR II: The Sith Lords.

So far, this game is advancing much more quickly. I'm already level 14, am only on my fourth planet, including Peragus and Telos, and this planet is actually a mod. Honestly, the planet is pretty boring right now with meaningless fetch quests for side questing, and a main quest that includes a lot of running back and forth along fairly uneventful corridors. It's a good effort for a fan made mod, and the voice acting isn't that bad (though, work could have been done to make custom droid voices more robotic), but it's hard to tell who's even important since all the names are just combos of letters and numbers. Kind of defeats the idea that if they have an actual name, they're worth talking to.

I just saved after getting another bland side quest that I could barely be bothered to read through all the details of. I might just rush through this planet and get back to the main game content as fast as I can.

So far today I'm sad to report that my primary mission isn't going all that well, as it seems nobody in the known world wants to part with either of the two colours of Banpresto cuddly chocobo I'm mising (blue and green). Even eBay was remarkably unhelpful this morning. So I've started on Xcom Enemy Unknown instead to pass the time. Aside from a few annoying technical issues, which is odd since it's loading from my hard drive and not a disc therefore can't possibly be scratched, it's fairly enjoyable thus far, at least for something I got for free off PS+. Only major issue is that with my TV being so small some of the writing is literally impossible to read. Doesn't hamper progress but I would have liked to read those autopsy reports.

Little off topic but I totally feel the pain of small TV's.
it always sucks when you have to get out of a comfortable spot just to scoot closer to the TV and be like "what does this document say..."
This is the main reason I'm finally upgrading to an HDTV. Reading tiny real-time instructions and weapon tutorial text in Assassin's Creed and Gears of War 3 was just impossible on SD. :( The apartment I lived in until a few days ago had an HDTV built in, and I'm never going back.

Luckily for me, my local GameStop's manager was friendly enough to get one of those official PS3 gaming TVs shipped to me from another location, and after tax, the shelf-worn discount, and my $50 rewards coupon, it's only going to be about $120. So I'm pretty happy.

I just beat Link's Awakening Dx, with everything complete except for the last four heart pieces. That ending alone might make it the saddest Zelda game I've played, even more so than Majora's Mask. :( Nevertheless, it was a great game.

Now I just need to beat Zelda, Zelda II, Minish Cap, and Four Swords Adventures! Then I'll have beaten every canon Zelda game! However, since it's going to be a while before I have a place to set my consoles up in the new apartment (and I don't have a copy of Minish Cap, and I'm 100% broke), I think I'll focus on other handheld games.

Hm... Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is long overdue to be beaten, methinks. :D

Beat Dust:An Elysian Tail and what an adventure it was.
The story was good(not great), the gameplay was well-done(albeit a bit repetitive because of the Dust Storm), the graphics were amazing(hand-drawn gourgeousness :O ) the atmosphere was perfect (any game that can change weather from cloudy to sunny to rainy in 2 minutes gets a plus from me), the music was great, the voice acting was surprisingly well-done for an indie game and it has a bit of a Metroidvania feel to it(if the 'Mysterious Wall Chicken' didn't give it away). Overall, fantastic game, which was certainly worth its 15 bucks. Also, I decided to make a running animation of Dust in Flash which I may finish up tomorrow.

So I was immediately hit with Zelda withdrawal, then remembered that I beat Four Swords earlier this month, meaning I now had access to Palace of the Four Sword in A Link to the Past. So I went back and beat it. Sheesh, those bosses were hard! Watching another version of the end credits with all my stats (how many times each item was used, etc) was very satisfying. :)

Got some new fruit trees in ACNL, sadly my coconut and banana trees keep dying. I'm thinking they need to be planted on the beach. . . . . . .

One thing that I hate is that if I go to a friends town, and pick their perfect fruit, I should get to plant the perfect fruit in my town, and grow perfect fruit.

And fuck sakes, getting art in this game is so damn hard. Almost have the fossil collection done though.

Bananas and coconuts have to be planted in the sand. They're definitely beach trees.

Thanks ^_^

I have yet to get a single piece of art, only had 2 fakes which I had to pay to get rid of :( I have a good amount in my museum I believe, and how in the hell do you get art though? I have extra NES items that I'm looking to get rid of. An Arwing and a mask of some kind (I forget which)
