Just finish it already, it's linear as shit.

Well it wasn't an interview, but more of a review of Romancing SaGa, which (hey! Guess what?) sucked too.
My brother and I had a really good time with Crystal Chronicles. Spent a bunch of time grinding for artifacts.

But you had someone else to play with, that's the thing. I never really did. I could try something however. We're gonna do an epic Four Swords Adventures party. Here's how it works.

Four smaller TVs, each with a GameCube+Game Boy Player add-on and a GBA to GCN link cable, all connected to a Wii's controller ports (or GameCube it doesn't matter) that's "hosting" the Four Swords Adventures game. Add booze and food and you've got yourself a party.

It could be done for Crystal Chronicles and Pac-Man Vs. too so that could be something else to throw out if Zelda gets boring or something (hah!)

I went in expecting that they were gonna chew the fat, and I got over a lot of the things that people were complaining about because even if it is kinda linear it actually is still pretty fun.

I started my FFXIII game back up as well. I am on Chapter 11, in the Maw of the Abyss, where I just spent a few hours grinding.

I'm getting a replacement PS3 today, so hopefully I can just pop in my old hard drive. I don't know if I'll have the drive to go through those 30+ hours I put into the game again.

I'm trying to speedily get there (that's mission 7, correct?). Currently somewhere in Chapter 7 I believe.

Quick! Play around 10 hours and we'll be in roughly the same spot.

Personally I loved FFXIII. I sort of wish I hadn't sold it, because I never realized the potential in re-playability.

I never had a problem getting into the game, personally. It was one of the best FF experiences I had, because I didn't let the nostalgia get in the way. I took it for what it was - a linear storytelling, where you play everything inbetween the dialogue.

Just like I enjoyed the MK storyline where all you do is fight between dialogue. Like an interactive movie. I thought it (FFXIII) was really well-done when I played it. Plus it's got some decently challenging boss battles (Unless you're one of those people who don't like challenges, and immediately look up the best character combinations so you can plow through the game without making your own choices).

Why did you have to wipe it? Couldn't you just copy your data to an external HD? Or were all of your files corrupted?

I can't get past the Midnight Reaper. This is seriously embarrassing.

Vanille almost ruins the game for me, but other than that I like it.

I couldn't start up my old PS3 to do the data backup thing, so when I put in my old hard drive I couldn't use it until I wiped it because Sony is a piece of shit sometimes.

I'm up to Chapter 10 now. I originally stopped at Chapter 11 during the "open world" part. This will be interesting...
