    I am playing through War of the Lions again

    And it is indeed the bee's knees

    Basically what was already said, the only downside is the slowdown which doesn't really bother me

    But everything else about it, from the better translation to the beautiful cutscenes to Balthier, makes it so fantastic.

    There's a ridiculous amount of hidden extra stuff, all of which i missed out on because I got rid of that engineer dude

    The most valuable strategy guide that I own is the one to Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen.


    It had the most absurd bullshit required to get the best ending.

    I think the only strategy guides I've purchased over the past few years were for FF12 and Fallout 3

    Because even with the internet those were pretty damn useful.

    The best strategy guide I own is Nocturne's. 500 pages. It has a full fusion guide, all the dungeon maps, a complete bestiary, every skill and item listed.

    It's absolutely essential.


    Disgaea's is also pretty sweet.

    The Versus guides were always pretty good. They had hand drawn maps and always had a pretty good sense of humor. In the RE2 guide there was feature about the different, unique ways you could biff it. In the MGS guide the entire back section was dedicated to showing the real world equivalent of the game's equipment and organizations (including Alaskan ear pulling).

    Funny how guides cost more now, but they're hardly very useful. Doublejump's were the only ones worth $20.

    Mine just came in last night. I am totally blown away by how quiet it is. I can't hear it at all unless I put my ear right next to it.

    I'm a little concerned though because it seems like it gets really hot really fast? Well, the area around the fan does at least. Maybe that's supposed to happen though and I'm just not used to having the vent in a location I can touch easily while it's running?

    I think next time I play i'm doing it hard core. None of that reloading if i lose a major character shit.

    The one thing i hate about FFT though is I can't exclude ramza from most (all?) fights. Just let him say a few words then let my real team take over, jeez.

    The content of doublejump guides is solid gold. Good advice plus they're usually even pretty funny. But they were cheap as hell. A book would be falling apart days after you bought it.

    The worst strategy guide of all time is the brady games one for ffIX. I think people would be hard pressed to find one worse than that.

    I think they are fine to use for rpgs with little or no replayability. Like most jrpgs happen to be like. Especially older ones.

    I'm really disappointed that Valkyria Chronicles II is only coming out for the PSP. When I asked the SEGA rep. about it, he answered that it was because SEGA had to better control it's resources.

    you know

    parts of that look amazing

    parts of it looks like...well, exactly like Dark Cloud (which isn't surprising in the least and probably more of a testament to Dark Cloud)

    and then the battle scenes started and i lost all interest

    i don't think Ghibli's worlds and stories would be well utilized with a more or less cookie-cutter JRPG

    edit: but considering what DQ does to Japan, i'm sure it will sell like hot cakes
