    Namco have gone from the worst publisher for bringing their games to the west to one of the best.

    Looking forward to Tales of Hearts, it is meant to have one of the strongest stories of the Tales series as well, I remember when it came out on the DS people saying it took between 50-70 hours to complete. We will be spoiled this year with Tales of Xillia 2 meant to be coming out over here as well.

    I've been playing a lot of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (over 34 hours so far). I'm really liking it.

    I loved it myself. Just make sure you learn to abuse the **** out of status buffs and debuffs. There's some really nasty bosses towards the end. Everyone gets stuck on ouroboros. You really have to abuse the system to get past both fights with him.

    Been playing Atelier Rorona myself and I'm finding it very relaxing. No world to save just your workshop. Rorona is great as well, bit of a dopey misfortune with a heart of gold.

    Still waiting as well, should be here Thursday/Friday, still on the fence about Mind Zero but have Demon Gaze ordered, not sure about Fairy Fancier it would probably end up in the pile of unopened games . I find the collectors editions are the cheapest on Amazon.de and they tend to turn up more often as well.

    Well I'm thoroughly enjoying Atelier Rorona. You can tell it hasn't much budget but there's just so much care and love that has gone into this game, it really shows. It's just such a relaxing game to play and he characters are all great and relatable. It's very down to earth with no melodrama, it's quite refreshing in a way. It's not perfect, I keep seeing ways that the game can be streamlined but my friend tells me they improve greatly on it in the sequels. It's also one of those games with a very brisk combat system with no loading times, even the synthesis is relatively painless.

    It is like a dating sim with very boring battles so far, it is quite quirky and has its charm but was hoping to a bit better, still enjoying it though.

    I'd say it's just a Psn release as opposed to a new game. Both games were great, got stuck on a part in dark chronicle for ages though and never went back.

    Dungeons in conception are getting tedious, theirs not a large variety of monsters either.

    I am losing interest in the game, really think Demon Gaze is gonna end up the same way, the ridiculous difficulty level and bland dungeons do nothing to hold my attention.

    The shining games after the awesome Megadrive and Saturn games are a load of balls.

    I've not played Grandia 3 but heard it's good even if the story and writing are dreadful.

    Grandia Xtreme is a weird game. It's more a grandia dungeon crawler than anything. It's all about the combat system than story. Thankfully the Grandia combat system is one of the best ever but it can be exhausting to play. I never did finish it. Also the voice editing is woeful, they cut in long pauses after every line which sounds terrible. If you have Mark Hamill leading up your cast it should not sound bad!

    Here's a good overview of what went wrong with final fantasy and where the series now stands.

    Well since it was announced, could have been in development even longer. It's why there's been no KH3 since that dev team is working on ff15. It's pretty much in duke nukes forever territory now.
