    i saw some of your awesome sigs and it inspired me to make on of my own lol

    I was going to do that with Jaeger, but I can't find a picture of him that I can make into one without leaving a huge black bar on the end (the dimensions are all off since he's almost always in close up shots). Also, this computer is terrible.

    Who is the girl who is second row, second from the left? Furojia? Hurojia? She looks awesome. Someone tell me more about that character.

    She's a preaty good scout. Potentials are digs men, noctournal, desert bread, and her 4th kicks in with a negative effect if you use her with your last CP. She use to be a dancer before joining the militia, hence the noctournal potential.

    I beat Chapter 14 last night. Wow that battle was as hard as hell! Also the cutscene previous to the battle where
    Alicia goes all Valyrur on us and takes on Selvaria, was AMAZING.

    Anyway I'll probably have completed the game by the end of the week too. Part of me can't wait to see the ending, but another part of me doesn't want it to end. as it's just so damn good.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    I'd love to see anybody in it really, I mean I really love everything to do with VC.

    But obviously I'd like to see the main cast, Alicia, Welkin, Largo, etc, and minor characters such as those I mentioned earlier.

    I'm pretty sure that Edy and Homer will make an appearance, because somehow they seem to be favorites among the japanese crowd. At least they are the main characters of the blog.

    I would love to see Oscar and Emile.


    And a crazy episode with Wendy and Jane killing and blowing up everything and everyone.

    I am the only one who finds Wendy sort of creepy? She is like a total Psycho! LOL

    lol... wendy is kinda weird...

    we all know that the capatin, Welkin, Alicia, Largo, Rosie, or basically anyone who was in a cut scene in the game will be there...

    as far as the members of squad 7 who was not in a cutscene...

    Jann- just because i would love to see him chase around Largo all day lol
    Freesia cause she is hott
    Alex Vyse and Aika cause i loved skies of arcadia
    Edy is cute and great comic relief
    Juno to give Alicia some competition (her along with Alicia and Welkin kinda remind me of Ichigo Rukia and orihime lol)
    and Dallas cause she would be great comic relief cause she hates men lol

    8-) Yeah its pretty great. Frankly I think its special in that there really aren't any other 3D turn based tactical games that aren't overly complicated and have a nice learning curve like this one while presenting it such a pleasing matter. (Canvas graphics engine, units have unique/fun personalities, cute anime story)

    I realize this game doesn't have a wide appeal to say the Gears, Halo, Madden crowds, but for gamers like us its fucking great.

    Hey guys,

    I just wanted to say thanks for hyping up this title. I don't normally play single player games but I'm enjoying this title alot. My wife loves the story, and I'm finding it really nice to play the game at my own pace.

    It's the sort of game that I'll be playing for a long time, finishing various chapters when I have the time. I'm really glad I grabbed this (it's almost impossible to find up here in Canada), it's really something totally different from anything available on consoles right now.
