Ys I - TCD, Complete, Chronicles (PSP) (I feel like I also beat the Master System or NES version, too.. but don't remember) Ys II - TCD, Complete Ys III - SNES, Genesis OiF - PC, PSP Ys IV - SNES, TCD Ys VI - PS2, PC Ys Origin - PC Ys Seven - PSP (Japanese & English versions, if that counts)
Ys III SNES or Oath in Felghana has the most replays. The SNES one I'd just replay over a weekend to hear the music back before I really knew what an Ys was. Oath in Felghana I finished on every diffculty on PC when it was first translated, then on PSP, and... then I kinda got burnt out getting the achievements on the Steam version.

So I'm playing Bravely Default, and this is all I can think of every time Agnés says unacceptable:
Also, I'm pretty sure Ringabel's book is just the strategy guide for the game.

In addition to the hidden items, does anyone have a good reference to the different gem & shop prices at the different shops in the game?

Thank you.
Time to make time to find time for game time for the only Ys story I haven't played... time

My favorite part is the wish to finish the translation this year (though also realizing it probably won't happen). To me that implies that most of the worst bugs are out of the way. Hopefully no more new nasty ones are discovered.

Everyone loves more TitS!
My only disappoint is that my PSP FC save is now moot. I had wanted to replay FC on Nightmare before SC, netting me both Estelle & Joshua's final weapons, but now with my limited RL time I might not get to do that on Steam.

I have been summoned back to the Ancient Land of Ys! (also because of being bored at work)
Yes. The figures (and everything else listed, really) are still available. Let me locate where I put them. In the meanwhile, if you let me know via PM which figures in particular you are interested in and a shipping Zip code, I can get you a shipping estimate.

They sound so similar at the beginning! I wish I knew more about classical music. more than just the beginning. The structure is almost the same and the only real big difference is the main verse

I forget where the music that sounds like other music topic(s) are, but I was listening to the Nayuta no Kiseki OST and.. did Falcom totally copy Xenosaga or is this based off of a classical piece I'm not aware of?
Nayuta no Kiseki - Astrolabe
Xenosaga ep.1 - Beach of Nothingness

Antichamber. Been waiting for this non-euclidean first-person puzzle game for a while. Even talked to the creator once or twice at PAX over the years.
It's uniqueness does lend itself to another replay or 2 unlike most puzzle games thanks to playing with minimal route or speed clears. I gotta say that I am a little disappointed that while the game is very free-flowing with multiple routes in the beginning, that the path narrows the closer you get to the end of the game.
And I say I'm done.. but I dunno if I really am yet. There still the puzzle of what the purple blocks do... hmmm

I got a gift card to Gamestop as a late Christmas gift, so I went and bought The Zone of the Enders HD Collection LE. Really it was only to play ZOE2 again. Replaying it, man the game hasn't aged well. The gameplay is still smooth and with the HD makeover you can see what's going on finally, but the translation is awful and the voice-acting all over the place. I'd like to know why they kept the Kojima low-fps cam/blurry cam in the cutscenes. I figured for the PSX/PS2 games it was because of hardware limits but now it is just headache inducing. MGS Twin Snakes kept it, too.

Yeah, he gives off a very Dragon Quest vibe with that armor. I thought I saw more to it (like Protoman or Zero) but that was long ago and I dunno where I saw it...
Random tidbit: Mega Man is blue because that was the color that offered the most shades on the original NES

They're still making those? Oh jeez. DBZ Abridged might be funny, but YugiOh Abridged is still the original and the best

Well I'll buy it. I know it isn't the best game of the Operation Rainfall trio, but the plot premise sounds interesting and it won't take as long to play as MonadobladeMonadoMonado. Heck, Nier was a crappy action RPG too if you just look at the gameplay.
What's sad is the number of great first party games that have slipped by while everyone was focusing on these.. FF Type-0, Phantasy Star Portable 2, Valkyria Chronicles 3, maaaaybe Bravely Default

Finished Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 with my girlfriend. She has now 1000/1000 a retail game before I ever have ;P
Also I got to introduce her to the wonderful world of shitty modern programming in video games and game-stopping glitches! We had to restart our entire save once when we were about 60% done because of a glitch that only activates if you are playing 2P at a certain point

AmiAmi was stocking a used Falcom Heroine set so I bought it. Had to wait for Black Cerberus to come in first before it shipped, though. I still want to get the Nendoroid Estelle at some point.. I'd care more about Renne but first SC needs to come out so I can see what the big deal about a loli with a scythe is. Must be some Japanese fetish

The best MMORPG ever created. What was that? I couldn't hear you over the awesome of my Engineer cat burninating things with a flamethrower and tossing wrenches at people. Charr need no Gods! indeed. Chances are we aren't on the same server, but which Realm are you on?

...er, I mean Faster Than Light. Thanks for pulling me away from PSO2 with your roguelike space ship micromanagement.
