    I think if VC had the dating sim elements of Persona 4, and the Social Links, it'd be the best game ever

    If a turn is three weeks, then yes. If not, my PS3 will just retreat like a major character.

    That's alright. I was obsessed with Persona when I got it. Do you have a favorite Persona? My favorite is Trumpeter.

    Wait, so your PS3 came back without BC, as in a new console? Don't you pay extra or something to make sure you get your original console back, repaired, to keep BC or something with Sony?

    No, I'm waiting for a box that Sony sends to put your PS3 in. Then I send it to Sony where it either gets repaired or replaced. I also have to pay $160.92 for it to get repaired because I'm out of warranty.

    I complain about this every time I see it, I know.

    But what the hell did they do to Isara? Something about her looks wrong. Her eyes are too big, and low. Somehow they made Alicia's eyes look ok despite being typically anime feminine, but turned Isara into some grotesque aberration, akin to a beholder (see what I did there?). Her face shape and facial features are halfway between a child's and a teenager's. Feh.

    I actually like what they did to Isara, it looks pretty neat (to me)
    Plus, she's 16 she's supposed to look awkward as all hell
    As an aside I just slept with Yukiko after becoming "intimate" with Chie, Shivahn
    I felt both terrible and awesome

    Eh, I know 16 should be awkward looking, but I meant more that her features look far less than 16 while her head looks a bit older. It's kind of hard to explain why it seems off. Basically, a half-child-half-teen face. It probably wouldn't bug me so much if she looked a little closer to her game self.
    I was trying to date ONLY Yukiko. Then I got to the relationship point in Rise's
    Basically, Rise is standing there crying saying "why doesn't anything work for me, I've lost everything", and the options are "comfort her" or "stand there". Really, I fail to see why you can't comfort her and stay just friends. It just felt forced and unnatural. So now I'm dating both.

    So basically, I, too, have turned the main character into a duplicitous man-ho. Though, honestly, I don't think Rise minds =P.

    A fun little pic in that preview afterwards...

    Isara coming pretty close to splitting Alicia's head open with a cleaver.


    I'm getting the game tomorrow and finally hopping on the VC party wagon. I admit, I've already spoiled myself with some of the early battles, but it'll still be fun, fun times.

    Just picked this up off of gamestop's website for 30 bucks.

    I really shouldn't have; in the last two weeks I've purchased Korg DS-10, Peggle DS, Retro Game Challenge, Zelda Phantom hourglass, and Lego Star Wars.

    I seriously need to stop it right now.

    I'll skip making the long post berating you for waffling on this and just say

    fucking buy it right now you cheap bastard

    It is totally worth $60, never mind $30.

    That's the price of Fire Emblem, without all the "throwing your DS in frustration."
