Seeking an RPG & Happy Holidays!

Well hello all, James here with another addition to the blog. Looking through my game collection recently I found the need to purchase a new RPG game to play. The ones I have id beaten or had clocked at least 3/4 of the game in. Its time for a change.

It has been a great 5 years playing these games, off the top of my head, the games ive beaten during this time are:

Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Kingdom Hearts
Star Ocean: Til The End of Time
& have made progress on numerous others.

I did notice I have saves from suikoden IV and Final Fantasy 12, but untill I can find an affordable copy of S4 and FF12 becomes interesting again I will look for something else.

My search has taken me to the various game stores in my area and I came across one named Rogue Galaxy which looks good. Its a playstation 2 rpg but offers a good space futuristic rpg which I love. (Playing through Star Ocean 3 the first time is an experience i’ll never forget).

I have read some reviews and the game has a 7 day back guarantee so I should probably go for it. I do miss the old days of PS1 and PS2 when you could walk into any store and find numerous copies of Breath of Fire, Star Ocean and Castlevania on the shelves. These days are unfortunately gone and their prices have jumped hugely because of this increase in rarity.

The PS3 system has an incredibly low amount of RPG games on its system, Fallout 3 is borderline enough as it is and I’m patiently holding out for Final Fantasy 13 which should hit in 09…hopefully.

This game hunt has been interesting hopefully it yields a good game that is worth the money.

On another note, I hope everyone out there had a wonderful and merry holiday season, Its a great time of year and I always enjoy the time spent with family and friends.

During the last blog I have finished two anime series, one named L/R: Licensed by Royalty which focuses on the Queens special spy unit Cloud7 who handle the crowns top missions, took 3-4 episodes to get into but by the end I was hooked, a short but sweet series (13 epsiodes) that could really surprise you. I felt I got great value for money for only 25 dollars.

The second is Orphen, ive played the ps2 rpg of the same name and am up to the last boss. Terrific series that focuseson the backsory of Orphen and the mentor Azale who he looks up to.

Both were nice series and really liked the bargain I got them for and the content which they both provided.
