There are indeed a few unique mini games to go along with the 800+ quests.

I was one of those that was pushing for Metal Saga pretty hard over at the Atlus MBs -- I dig the post apocolyptic vibe of the series because it seems like such a departure from the fantasy norm......plus I love armored vehicles and tanks. :rambo:  I had heard very positive things about the series (which started waaaay back on the Famicom).  Apparently, Atlus had already been considering the title before we suggested it.  I don't believe Robopon is related to Bumpy Trot (Steambot) in any fashion.

I'm having trouble getting the game Nocturne but Shin megami tensei: Lucifer's call is available. Is this a different game or just a different version of Nocturne?
thnx

Lucifer's Call is just the title name for the European release of SMT III Nocturne Maniax.  Same game.

How is Romancing SaGa? I saw some of the gameplay videos and and it looked, different. Well, different from what I played. But I'm curious, how is the story? Characters?

Sorry about the late response.  I really like RS -- I feel it was poorly represented by it's U.S. reviews and truly misunderstood.  The story is kind of cool, but it is sparse and you have to 'feel' it out for yourself as the game is very nonlinear.  The focus is definitely on gameplay/combat versus story.  I really dig the art and character/creature design.  The game can be very difficult at times, but that is a plus in my book.  In case you didn't know, the leveling system does not use experience points -- instead it is kind of usage based.  Fight with and become proficient with a melee weapon and you will gain skills for that weapon and gain physical strength, lose a lot of hit points in a battle and you might gain hp for your total, use magic and gain intelligence or will power....you probably get the point.  Sorry my explanation is not that great... :buh:   Also, the music for the game is amazing IMO.

Most likely, I wil be working.  I have never been that into Halloween.

That´s nice to hear. I just hope it gets to the US or Europe.

It's out, and I am playing it.

Also beat DDS AT last week so I could start DDS 2, but Romancing SaGa has distracted me.

About those videos... Yes, they are crazy! I can´t do some of that stuff even with both hands.

Wouldn't it be great to see a proper documentary on fighting game tournament players?  Or maybe a mini series on PBS.  That True Life videogame player was absolute rubbish.  I thought I heard once that PBS Hawaii had some sort of documentary like this.....I know I am probably wrong though.

I played a lot with Pai, who is kind of a beginners character anyway, but to truly get better, I feel you have to play with other human players.  None of my friends care too much for VF.  I think the difficulty puts them off.  How about those player hand movement videos in Evo?  Some of that stuff is nuts.

I too am a fan -- too bad I suck though....;)

^Hey Kakizaki what all did they put in the Capcom Collection.

There are 22 titles present I believe. Forgotten Worlds, Son Son, 1942, 1943 Kai, Final Fight, SF II & II Turbo, Section Z, Legendary Wings, Trojan, Bionic Commando are just a few of the titles -- I heard the PSP version will have Side Arms and Strider as a bonus.

current game(s): Started a new game of Persona MIP, trying to finish DDS AT before 2 comes out, Castlevania HoD, and I just picked up Capcom Collection.

Hello all.  Just stumbled across the site by accident, but I really like what I see so far.  I was introduced to the Megaten universe back in '96 when I decided to pick up Persona MIP instead of Suikoden for something to play over Xmas vacation and I have been a fan ever since.
