Romancing SaGa

Supposedly Square's PR manager actually appologized for UNLIMITED, trying to get people to pay attention to this one. Whatever. I liked it quite a bit.
Huge frickin' heads and beautiful scenery replace the beautiful character artwork and no scenery of ULSaga. The music's supposed to be absolutely beautiful. No surprise. SaGa's got that over anything.

Picking it up on Friday. Who's with me?

Uh, jesus, I had no idea this was even coming out here. Shows how much attention I pay to Square anymore. Or anyone who's still releasing uninteresting RPGs.

I have the SFC cart, it didn't hold my attention very long, mostly because I could not understand a goddamn word of it. This is even less appealing, because it looks like a nightmare. A nightmare somebody threw up on. And then tried to clean it up, and got a whiff of the vomit, then threw up again What were they thinking with those characters? Ugh, ugh, ugh. I don't think I could play something that upset me so much.

The box is neat looking, though. The nicest thing I could say about this game is that, judging from a low-res scan, I would maybe pick up the box.

For the record, I tried to read that Tim Rogers article and my brain shut down. My hands froze up and prevented me from scrolling down any further. My body seems to remember things that have hurt it in the past and will do anything to get them as far away from the object of offense, and I cannot read anything Tim Rogers writes for the same reason cheap bourbon always makes me vomit, in any quantity.

I don't like you. I'll agree that Tim Rogers is a bad man. I wonder if he talks as much in real life.

You need to learn to take (almost) everything I say with a grain of salt. I guess you wouldn't know how tongue in cheek the silly collectors comment was if you didn't know of my plan to own every Game Boy Pocket color that existed and make a wall hanging out of them. Oh well. My dark secret is now out in the open.

I still maintain that this game looks like a train wreck, however. The people... the people are so scary!

It's over between you and me. I just don't know if i can trust you anymore.

Baby don't do this I swear I won't hit you no more :(

Sketch motion being back makes me want this, but damn did Unlimited really suck the fun out of this series for me. The RPG Fan text makes me want this badly. The game being an entirely different experience each time you play through is particularly intriguing.

I love the character designer, one of the best in gaming today... Finally seeing his art attached to a game that doesn't suck would be a very welcome change of pace.

Not a fan of the big heads, though. :/

You must mean 7590. It's not a large prime number, either.

If you buy anything with the Square-Enix logo on it that doesn't also have the Grandia III logo, you lost.
