That's incredibly generous mate.
I'll keep you posted, although I'll also have a looksie to see if I can grab an emulated version as well.
Just need to find the time to fit in some more heavy-duty RPG-gaming!
JRPG enthusiasts: When (if ever) did Square 'fall off' for you?

indeed
Xenogears is probably one of the most controversial games from the last decade. It's my personal absolute favorite, and no matter how much it's worth I'm never selling it :P
in good condition they're going for $50+ on ebay

Emulation is always a perfectly fine avenue in these cases, too, true.
Oh hey, glad to see a fellow fan.

yeah!
it's a really fantastic game, and it never gets old
I absolutely love the battle system, and all the characters are fantastic. (Except Chu Chu . . . nobody likes Chu Chu)
The story is amazing, and the twists and turns and revelations never lose their impact. The Gears are awesome.
sure, it starts off with one of the biggest tropes ever (amnesiac protagonist) but it's done well
it's a Must Play for anyone who likes RPGs
Sweet! G'luck!

Oh come on, Chu Chu is the best character...
Yeah, it's got a great cast and the revelations are ridiculously good. Not just by gaming standards, either.
I've lost a couple of people over the years who started it, saw the amnesiac trope, got a few hours in, didn't get it and shut it off. But I've landed plenty of fans who managed to stick with it, too.
Yeahhh... the game's reputation precedes it...
I'm familiar with that demo. A strange albeit understandable attempt at earning fans, that.
The game is so freaking long and its plot doesn't truly heat up for so long that I can't blame them for doing it that way.
I haven't heard much about 3rd birthday other than it's going to be a PSP title, as for PE2, it was epic, if it wasn't for the water-tower part and the "up is all ways forward down is all ways backward and left & right turn" control scheme I think the game would have been better reviewed
lol - I first played PE in Japanese because I hadn't heard any plans to bring it over here (America) at the time and I had a system modded to play Japanese games. My understanding of Japanese is pretty decent, but nowhere near the level of understanding words like mitochondria...
Edit - actually, that's a bad example because mitochondria is one of the few words I did understand in the Japanese because it was "mitokondoria"... it was the rest of the pseudo-science babble surrounding the mitochondria discussions that I didn't understand.

Well the thing of it is, Square being a Japanese company and Japan lovin' them some PSPs (seriously, compare the sales there to the rest of the world) it's nothing the main consumer base would fuss about. So we have to deal, heh.
Oh, are you something of an MGS fan as well, Bishop? That's another of my favorite series. Convoluted and melodramatic as it gets, but damn if I don't choke up about it sometimes.
Oh, hell yeah - love MGS - and yeah, it's totally convoluted, melodramatic, and downright stupid at times - but God help me, I love it. It's one of those series that I won't even argue with people if they dislike it because I can totally see why - it just works perfectly for me.
