Little Wii GD XIII's Story

Best title so far. Tomorrow at 2 LKS will finally be mine, I just hope I don't regret not pre-ordering.

First post!

Edit: Beaten. Oh well, there's always the next GD...

quote Dragon ZERO

Characters is the most opinionated section, while stories and execution (with no character personality involvement) is something that can be separated as "good" and "bad" not "I like" and "don't like."

Whether you like a story or not is just as opinionated as whether or not you like characters. Some people like some types of stories while others like others. But usually people generally agree that certain stories are good while others are bad. However, this does not change the fact that it's highly opinionated. And you cannot have a story with no characters, good sir.

quote Akira_EX

After all the retrospect, FFVII is very overrated. FFIX is definitely the better game in the PS1 mainline FFs.

I've seen the light after I played the masterpiece (no sarcasm) that is FFXII. <3 that game.

I haven't played FFVIII (despite owning it-backlog) or FFIX, so I can't really say. But the only thing I didn't like about FFVII was that every single character was an indistinguishable slate aside from Limit Breaks and which weapons they could equip. Sounds like I would like FFIX, though, since it fixes that problem.

I personally think that FFXII is overrated. It has the same problem as FFVII in that every single character is essentially the same, except they are even MORE indistinguishable since anyone can use any weapon and the Quickenings are all just damage inflicter. Also, Espers are completely worthless in FFXII. The pacing between plot and gameplay is awful in that you would spend about 5 hours going through some dungeon only to be greeted at the end with only 6 minutes of plot. This problem was only made worse by fairly repetitive level design, especially in areas like the Ogir-Yensa and Nam-Yensa Sandsea. The characterization for many characters (except Balthier, he kicked ass) was very weak as the game focused too much on the political aspects of the story rather than personal connections. Also, Gambits were spread waaay too thin, so you couldn't get the actual useful ones until far later in the game. Now what's the point of advertising being able to fully customize AI if the game doesn't let you have good AI until near the end of the game?

/end rant. The game is still enjoyable (heck, I've logged about 110 hours on it), but it is plagued by many simple problems that prevent it from being the masterful game it could've been.

You sir, need to play more Fire Emblem. Or maybe Kirby's Air Ride... Actually, I'd recommend the latter.

I don't see how Kirby Air Ride would teach him the Weapon Triangle...

Don't worry, I know how you feel(probably moreso).

Personally, I hate the title.

quote Murray3

So? Kirby's Air Ride is awesome, so awesome, that it would grant him infinite wisdom, which is one wisdom more than you need to understand the Weapon Triangle.

^this. Kirby Air Ride is win.

But what is Space Lance from?

I love the header, I also didin't expect the "@" sign.

Amazon/Gamestop

I have my preorder that's in the process of getting shipped from Amazon, but I don't know when it'll get here.

If you order from Amazon I can try to get a 10% off code for you, which are obtainable if you sign up for the Electronic Consumers Association (US only). With a .edu or .mil email address, it costs $15 a year. If you don't want to pony up just to order LKS, I can try to help you out, but I don't feel comfortable doing it.

I order a bunch of games from Amazon now (boo incoming sales tax increase), so I've pretty much paid it off already

quote therealNgamer

We should just knock out Akira and post spam from 25 pages and make a new GD to be first.

Man don't do that, I actually have a good idea for the next GD title that I decided not to use for this one.

To prevent myself from going crazy while I make this thread:
