29,Capricorn,Caucasian but ghetto (as in lower income). I've been around awhile. My usual response to those that shun me for my age is "29 isn't really ancient and if you hate me just for being older that's ridiculous!"

By the way Devilry friends who fuck is a great set up. Lucky you. I always got  stuck as the plutonic friend girls used as a shoulder to cry on until I let it be known I had enough of that.

All I can say is men with morals crave sex just as much as men without them and if I feel like I'm not getting equal opportunities I end up withdrawing.

Selfish? I don't think so. More like self preservation and refusing to be a martyr for a lost cause.

I heard Fes is Persona 3 only with more levels and more stuff. For example they might have something akin to revelations "snow queen quest" that was in the Japanese version but only accessible in the U.S. version through cheats(and it wasn't completely translated to boot).

On an unrelated note I'm sorta glad Europe got the better version of FF-12. Usually they get gyped.

I'm not completely disappointed with square/enix but after they milked the cash cow dry with advent children,dirge of Cerebus, and crisis core I'm realizing they're going with popular trends instead of trying to be innovative.

I liked FF 12 and Kingdom hearts 2 but FF 13 looks cheesy as hell. SE is a "good rpg company" but not the best and I hate their whole "we must never have a mature rated game ever again and stick to teen ratings!" attitude. I think SE is striving to be the "Disney" of rpgs as if their poo smells like fragrant roses. Yes I know every once in awhile you'll see an "M" on an SE title but it is rare and those games don't have nearly as high of production values as the mainstream crap.

I was over cautious and pre-ordered. The thing is it didn't ship until today and it won't arrive until friday. Three day delivery is cheaper then one day delivery. I love me some Megaten but I have to save money too for other expenses.

The only  people that would give Persona 3 a low review are people that no longer have nostalgia for rpgs. Looks like its reception has been mostly favorably however. I'm glad about that.

I don't know how to add the black bars of obscurity. Fortunately  someone does. lol.

I just thought a game that's been  out say 3-5 years is open game to discuss in depth.

Apologies if I offended anyone. That wasn't my intent.

[spoiler]I think in a way Nautilus was trying to parody anime and other real life issues in Covenant. Whether they did that successfully or not is up to personal opinion. The humor didn't subtract from the experience for me then again I was more intrigued by Yuri's mistletoe curse given to him by Nickolai, his desperate quest to bring Alice back to life only to have her fade in front of him again, and the strange plot twist involving Karin. I also liked how they kept the villains coming. I thought Rasputin was the head hancho only to discover later he wasn't. I never saw Kato as being a bad guy. I knew he was bitter from the death of his true love but when I faced him at the end it kinda surprised me. He didn't  seem to be the type to want to destroy the universe. Then again he wanted to create a better reality I imagine in which  all the tragedies that befell him never happened. The fact you  could get two different endings didn't hurt either.[/spoiler]

Sorry for any spoilers given but SH covenant has been out so long I assume most people have beaten it or know the general flow of what happened.

Great design. I like the serpentine tentacles that come out of the eye sockets. I agree it would fit in perfectly as a character transformation in an SMT title.

Wow a game that is a tribute to Joan of arch. The concept alone is great. It empowers women and exposes the evils of the church and king Henry! I'm all  for it. The battle system looks tight too.

I agree  Lycanthroat. I really wanted Fran to be fleshed out too because I thought she was so enigmatic and intriguing. She had a wise yet tortured aura to her personality. She  reminded me a lot of Rose  from Legend of Dragoon only unlike Rose she wasn't explained as much. Just because a girl is a sexy bombshell doesn't mean it justifies not going into her history and the things that shaped her personality. To me Fran was more  then an otaku fetish and I felt sorta bad she got treated like one.

Really I don't know from a straight perspective if gays necessarily would find it offensive. It just  seems like the tailor brothers were a  blatant stereotype. Still considering most games don't even have gay characters I suppose it was a positive step forward so you brought up a good angle I didn't consider.

Pretty awesome creative  stuff. I saw a guy that looked like afro samurai and I liked the back jean shot of the pretty smoker girl. Sorta like a "what if" collection of images if say SMT had a game that happened during the summer of love in 69 or  the disco era of the 70's. "Moose head" cultists scare me however. lol.

So you cannot date Yuka Tan? That seems odd. She seemed like the leading female character from all the advertisements and what not. Oh well I guess we're not going to have any steamy developments or quite as many options.  Unless that is you can get romantically involved with the other female characters through other plot devices besides "dating".

Rpgs never seem to address "alternative life styles" or the fact not everyone "dates" as the means to  eventually get intimate.

Well it seems to be an unpopular game with a popular reputation if that makes sense. If you  can overlook the "gay tailors" , furry jokes,  and vampire wrestler spoofs there is a wonderful core story and memorable villains as well as a few unexpected plot twists. Also every female character has a very "kinky" and "sexy" alternate costume if you do  some of  the  side quests! Ok, the last one is unimportant but you get my point.

In Persona 3 I saw the  alternative maid costumes you can get for the female characters but they didn't look  any more striking or arousing then their normal clothes. That would be about the only pointless gripe I have towards P3.

(shrugs) There's no crime in disliking a game the majority are fond of. At least you brought up valid reasons why you didn't get into Covenant unlike rebellious idiots that say they hate something popular just to stand out.

Well...in FF your destined to be with one girl...whether you like her or not, heh.

Yuna: Oh Tidus we are destined to be! By the way I've become a pop star music princess like Britney spears!

Tidus: Crap! Why can't I choose Rikku or Lu-Lu?! Well I guess Lu Lu got banged up by Wakka....but Rikku and Payne are still single! I hate you linear plot! You limit my options!

Not that I hate Yuna...just using  a spoof scenario to illustrate my point. lol.
