    I really liked Shadow Hearts: From the New World. I loved the characters and just playing within the americana a great deal.
    Shania's lack of clothing was annoying, and I didn't like it's random encounter rate. Those were the main things that felt bad.
    Frank Goldfinger, Mao, & Ricardo Gomez were the best though, and it honestly felt like a great game.

    The worst part of the Dragon's Dogma expansion, Dark Arisen, is they went with a different intro song.

    Damn you Capcom, why couldn't you have left it alone!

    Also damn you Capcom, for not making a sequel!

    Honestly, I think the thing that annoyed me most about Agnes was that she's such an old school kind of character personality-wise.

    And her english voice actress talked through her nose.

    Bummer!

    They're great and worth tracking down some PS2 copies, since apparently an HD collection is not in the cards!

    I've been in the mood for some PS2 RPGs lately, namely Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga and the Dark Cloud games

    I will always hope for Dark Cloud 3

    My list of jurps that I want that will never be:

    Dark Cloud 3
    Suikoden 6
    Shadow Hearts 4
    Grandia 4
    Star Ocean 5(but only if it doesn't suck like 3 and 4 did).

    I'm still super early in Bravely Default but I find it kind of amusing how Agnes stubbornly tries to keep the cliche party formation from happening.

    It reminds me of that South Park episode where Clyde tries to ignore the very-obvious plot point that he has to solve but ends up stumbling onto it anyway.

    It's funnier when you think that Agnes doesn't realize she's in a JRPG situation and constantly tries to work against it.

    I like Agnes' VA a lot, to be honest

    Haven't played a lot of the game, but have enjoyed it so far. It's unique and has an appealing tone.

    The Suikoden team being permanent broken up is one of my greatest video game sadnesses. What a great series.

    I absolutely loved Bravely Default, don't get me wrong. I think I put like 80 hours into it.

    But that voice.

    Every VA in Bravely Default is pretty good and a few of them are great

    Agnes really grows on you over the course of the game, and man, she's one of the best screamers in the cast

    That script called for quite a bit of anguished screaming and they picked some real winners for it

    Even if you don't like the voice work in Bravely Default basically any voice work works excellent with the job boss battle theme in the background

    Edea's theme is actually my least favorite of the special attack themes

    which says absolutely nothing they are all boss as hell

    I hate thinking about JRPGs that will never be, cause my brain jumps to Dragon Quest VII. Which is and has been, but I just can't play it without a time machine or eBay bucks.

    Seeing Shadow Hearts makes me sad cause I didn't have tastes in the PS2 era. Someone make PSN releases mandatory retroactively.

    Well ok when it comes to the vanilla themes I think I might prefer Agnes or Ringabel

    But for the vocal themes

    Edea rocks the house

    Really? Damn.

    I really don't know anything about Bravely Second, all I know is I'm gonna be in a major funk after this game finishes and I realize this experience is over

    If you limit the search results on eBay to "buy it now," there's a few copies on there that are $60 and under

    For hard-to-find games, a price less than a new game is pretty reasonable

    We talking about good jurp screams.

    Cause Popola from Nier has that shit on lockdown. Hella Neir spoilers.

    Honorable mention goes to Ryu from Breath of Fire 4, especially since it's the only bit of voice acting in the game. Too bad I can't find a decent video of it.
