I started playing Nier in earnest tonight, the combat is kinda stiff and regular encounters are fairly boring but the first real boss fight was cool, and the game clicked with me when it showed a tool tip that said:

BOAR CONTROLS

O Mount
X Dash
L2/R2 Drift

I love Shadow Hearts and I will be forever disappointed that there will be never another new game.

Nier is also really great and I happy that its getting a sequel.

Suikoden 2 is also on PSN now so you don't have to give away your firstborn for a PS1 copy anymore.

i appreciate the whole "have a big cast of characters" idea with the 108 stars.

along those lines, i liked chrono cross too, despite the magic system being weird

It was called Avalon Code and it owned.

Except for how you could never keep track of what keywords were anywhere.

yeah, the time has passed. honestly, i'm surprised what you described doesn't already exist.

my friend and his brother have a trapper keeper from 199X or 200X (i can't remember) that contains a master list of what each CD they could get their hands on created. they are awesome, like master scholars of monster rancher

I'd play the crap out of a modern monster rancher but they'd probably gently caress it up. So, I'll just keep playing 2 because you can play it forever.

i think something that loses is borrowing cds from a friend or the idea of digging through your parents cds to figure out what they could create

hooking it right to a digital library would lose so much
