Thanks for that -- I now have it downloading courtesy of the other SA Mart Steam game seller (hiddenmovement wasn't on). I don't think the Russian keys are kosher for SA, though. I remember hearing something about how it's arbitrage(?) and if not exactly illegal, then pretty close.

You guys suggested Divinity and Shadowrun last night when I was asking about Final Fantasy Tactics clones, though. I guess I'm set for a while with Divinity, but are there any good FFT-style RPGs that have come out in the last few years? I tend to compare Divinity more to Baldur's Gate, which is turn-based strategy, I suppose, but wrapped up in the WRPG exploration package. I'm thinking more of "Here is a battle, now tinker with your men, now here is another battle." The closest I've played in the last few years was The Banner Saga, but that game was kinda meh. Totally worth buying, though, if only because it had fantastic illustrations and worldbuilding, and it's the sort of indie game where you can tell a ton of their cash went into actually building the engine, and so the game isn't as fleshed out as you'd like. But you can tell that, if they can afford to make another game to reuse the engine on, it'll be fantastic -- there's a ton of potential there if they could spend the majority of their budget on working on the actual game.

Have you tried Skulls of the Shogun?

Xseed finally gave a release date and price point to The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. It's coming out on the 29th, and will be $19.99 (though it'll be 15% off for the first week). Also they apparently did a number on the game's code so it now supports widescreen resolutions, among a number of other changes.

For those who haven't been keeping up with this, Trails in the Sky is a turn-based RPG made by Falcom (the Ys guys) that was released way back when, and only just recently got an English release on the PSP. This version is the original PC version, with all the features from the PSP version added in.

I'm glad TitS is finally coming to Steam.

I played the entire game on the PSP and don't remember that, so I don't think it happens throughout the entire game. Probably should quit though if it bothers you so much.

Speaking of JRPGs, I just picked up Trails in the Sky and it's really good. There's nothing overly amazing or groundbreaking about it, but it's a well-made turn-based JRPG with a lot of heart. It was also released on PCs first, so the keyboard and mouse controls work rather well.

Ed: Also the music is really good.

I can't find a "recommend me a game" thread so I'm gonna ask here instead.

I'm looking for a very specific sort of game. I work a nighttime surveyliance kind of job, so I have a lot of downtime with my laptop. I'm looking for a game I can play with just my laptop mouse pad and keyboard, that I can put down at a seconds notice if I have to, and it needs to be enjoyable even without sound.

So far I've been playing Civ V but I'm getting sorta tired of it. All suggestions from all genres are welcome.

Divinity: Original Sin is a good one. Shadow Magic, any of the Avernum games, Long Live the Queen, etc.

FF13 is not a terrible game, it's just extremely linear and the story is boring and nonsensical. If you enjoy walking to places while fighting enemies, there are worse games to have. Although I'd wait until it was on sale.
