Just finished Final Fantasy IX. While it had the ATB system like VII and VIII, it had this weird delay that would cause me problems all the time. In VII and VIII when a character's turn came up, you get to put in a command. The character then acted immediately, whether it be attack, use an item, or defend. In IX, you get to input your command, but your character didn't always act right away. So you order Zidane to use an item on Eiko, but the enemy acts first and hits and KO's Eiko, then your item is wasted....
X-2 had a charge time which is displayed, and due to the charge time your characters didn't act in the same order the commands were given. But in IX the characters all act in the same turn order that the commands were input, so the delay was just weird.
Still, IX was a good game. On to Chrono Cross. _________________

You should try Shadow Hearts: Covenant after ToB. That is my number 1 favourite jRPG.
Sphere Break lacks depth compared to FF8 Triple Triad. But at least I like it more than Tetra Master in FF9.
I finally managed to get a copy of SH:C and finished it last night. Fabulous game; easily one of my top 5. Thanks for the recommendation. Loved the characters, humor, story, gameplay. Pretty much everything. Now I need to get SH, although I did get spoilered by SH:C.
I had finished FFIX right before playing SH:C. I never did get Tetra Master. I managed to win the one mandatory tournament, but I had NO idea what I was doing. I put down my last card, and the whole board comboed in my favor, but it's not like I planned it. I did play and understand Triple Triad, probably still my favorite FF mini-game.
Anime Dad, how goes FFX? Keps, what are you playing currently? _________________

FFX doesn't go at all, unfortunately. I haven't picked up a PS2 controller for a few months I'll have to get back into it though. _________________

Madoka! Hello again.
I'm addicted to Team Fortress 2 on PS3. I mainly play as Pyro 'cos I love flaming people, lol.
I have played a little Unreal Tournament 3, but as amazing as the game is, I haven't enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.
On the PSN store I recently bought Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. I had a quick playaround with it last night, and it's looking great.
I really really want Soul Calibur 4, but I haven't got enough money. I tried a demo, and loved it. (Never played any SC or Tekken games before these, btw).
I have got Fallout 3 preordered, and I am really excited. I cannot believe it's not going to be marvellous.
I also really want LittleBigPlanet, but no money. Argh.

Japanese maids play with your Wii Wii.
========================================
Play Wii Fit with a Japanese Maid for $25
Why Akihabara's Refresh Club doesn't have a New York outlet, I don't know, but on the wake of this groundbreaking news, they better open it soon. For $25 you will be able to play Wii Fit with Japanese girls in French maid dresses. Yes, Wii Fit, that game with the balance board that often requires you to lean forward and backward. Because, you know, as the owner says, exercise is all about your playmates:
Playing Wii Fit by yourself is lonely. But here, playing along with a maid makes exercising enjoyable.
He is right. And yes, I love French maid dresses. Not to wear them, though. Too bad Brian has left Japan already, because this called for a hands-on.

Finished Wild Arms 4. Ok game, nothing great. I found that I hate jumping puzzles while playing that game. I no longer have the coordination for them. That's also why I don't play fighting games--I can't pull of any combos. Keps, you would totally kill me in those games you mentioned.
I'm starting Suikoden V. I can't wait for Persona 4...only 6 more weeks. _________________

Ooh, I'm actually terrible at the games I mentioned, so there's every chance you'd thrash me at them. I haven't been on them enough to learn any combos.
Guys! If you have a PS3, and you are interested in learning Japanese, then you have to get a free game off the Japanese PSN store, called Mainichi Issho (Everyday Together).
It's awesome, even though I can't read Japanese. You get to decorate your own room, and create a "Nyavatar". You can also buy stuff from the PSN store, but this entails getting yen into your account.
You can read news items, about games, events, all sorts, and then you often get a related gift. My favourite is a "Rolly". (Some weird type of dancing ball).
Toro (the cat who lives in the room you decorate) played with his Rolly last night. it was so cute seeing him dancing along!
You can also play some games, online too.
