Aww. I'm going to have to get this, just to see what it's like... though it does look interesting. Didn't like FFIII DS though, the whole 3d-ness and interface of it, so... haven't got high hopes.

Might be alright though, but I'd rather see old FFs made for PSP gloriously sprited like I and II were than made for DS in mediocre 3d. If they give V and VI the same treatment, I will cry.

Haha, ...fear not? I'm not a northerner. South of England, yep!

'I'm pretty interested in games and in the gaming culture.'

I'd consider myself a pretty big gamer considering my knowledge of, and how much time I pour into games compared to most people. Like most people here, I'm sure. But... this next-gen wave, I'm not as enthusiastic about as I was about PSX and PS2 etc., probably because I'm not as young anymore, yeah. Next-gen consoles unfortunately aren't compatible with the 'rose-tinted spectacles' peripheral. Obviously there are some good games, for instance I really enjoyed Enchanted Arms on PS3 (also 360), but it's hard to get as excited/fanatical about it all, let alone buy as much as I still buy PS2 games (but I suppose the price also influences that, heh).

So yeah, I don't really keep totally up to date with all the latest news etc. But wouldn't call myself a 'casual gamer'.

I voted Kefka, and hopefully that source is correct and he's actually in it!

I think the game looks like it may be just a little bit... absolutely terrible, but if you could play as Kefka... And you'd better be able to and cackle as some kind of taunt.

Like usual though, the more obscure characters would be the coolest, but probably won't get in... but we'll see, it does have Firion etc. ... but then he's a main character.


Biggs and Wedge = pwnage though. I like the 'different iterations as costume changes' idea as well. But often Biggs and Wedge are the same, or too similar to bother with two characters (e.g. just two soldiers) ... maybe they'll be two characters in one like the Ice Climbers from Smash Bros. 


EDIT: Also, maybe if Kefka was in it they'd somehow get the Dancing Mad music into the game! I'd HAVE to buy it then.

Heh, thanks everyone! EDIT: Yes. Even Verilo! 

Yeah, FMA ftw, Nessiah! I've just seen episode... 36. Definately one of the best anime series I've seen, so far.

And many people seem to like BoF IV, haha. Best in the series, in my opinion.

Heh, well, I guess musically I'm interested mainly in rock and metal, generally heavy and power metal, (And some Jpop of course :P) but I'd never turn any music away just because of the genre. Often when people say 'I like a bit of everything', it's followed up with '...except filthy hip-hop' or something to that effect I play the bass guitar as well - I think I'm pretty good, but I'm definately no Cliff Burton!

Academically, I'm very interested in History and Politics, as reflected by the fact that in Sep/Oct I'll be off to uni to study... wait for it... History and Politics! I used to like ancient history, but 20th Century history is really growing on me now.

A bit of a given perhaps, but I like comedy, subtle, character-based stuff, as well as the more obvious side of it. Observational comedy always goes down well with me.

...oh, and I've noticed there's a mod here called Myke, my name isn't some creepy homage or something :P My friend was just trying to spell my name, Mike, out loud once, and inexplicably spelled it 'M...y...a...k...e' and it stuck. I'm still not exactly sure whether it's pronounced 'meeyake' or just 'Mike'...

But yeah, it looks like a good forum here, hopefully I'll enjoy posting on it!



P.S. I know it was just a list of examples, but I can't believe I left Grandia off my great games list. I'm sorry, Grandia!

Hello! I signed up a few weeks ago, but have been largely lurking since then. So I'm still pretty much new. I'm 17 and located in the UK, massive fan of RPGs and RPG Maker, so I expect I'll be in the videogames or one of the game development forums most of the time, hopefully eventually get to demo stage with my game. Never got into RMXP that much, I mostly use RM2K with a bit of 2K3 occasionally.

I'd say my absolute favourite game would have to be Suikoden II, but many come close, like Disgaea, FFVI, FFVII, Breath of Fire IV, Fire Emblem 7, Tales of Symphonoa etc. etc. I'll like most RPGs, though I have a leaning towards the old PS1 and SNES ones... fan of anime too, I could probably say I'd like msot anime, but my favourites at this very moment are Fullmetal Alchemist and Negima!.

But yeah, hopefully I'll be posting a bit more in the future. I'd been using GW for a few years for RPGMaker anyway, but never really went on forums too often.
