I just picked this up 10 mins ago and I'm about to play it. I'll post my thoughts on it later. Anyone else have this?

I'm an hour into the game and I really like it. I like that they based the battle system off of Star Ocean 2's. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

I'm ashamed that no one pays attention to great games.

It's damn great so far.

It sure is awesome. I'm about 5 hours in and just got to the arena. I am really loving it so far. I'm kinda surprised that more people aren't playing it too.

I guess me and Mongo are the only people that likes good games.

I'm still at the arena part at around 5:30-6 hours, same thing kind of a busy weekend. Hope to play some more this week.

Having played only the SNES version, which was solid, but nothing special (AKA "Meh"), so I can't really say anything about this one.
When I get a PSP, this'll be the first (or maybe second) game I'll get.

I'm really looking forward to Second Evolution.

hey did you save the lesser feelipool from the pirates and picked up the orcarina when she dropped it?
when you have 7 people in your party go back to the beginning town and do a PA and try to equip the orcarina on ratix and use it on the cat

Yeah, I did that. Thanks, when I get up to that part, I'll do it.

Ok currently my group is Roddick, Cyuss, Ilia, Ioshua, and Millie. I know that I'm almost at the part where I am going to get my other characters back. Question is, should I get the cat girl or the Ranma lookalike guy? What do you guys think?

Ratix Farrence · **Posted:** Tue Oct 28, 2008 6:17 pm

T'nique looks pretty good but i think i had him in my party and he was OK as a fighter.
i don't remember what his talents are either.
as for pericci she's got musical talent and is very helpful when you buy the silver trumpet to summon a optional boss fight.
of course you need to buff up the musical notation and performance for that to happen as well.
oh yeah...
im in the purgatorium inner sanctum and i think i got stuck... although i did back up my game to other slots we shall see what happens after this section though

I'm currently like level 52 and at the end of the emblem quest. Now I'm at this beast of a tower and I'm leveling like crazy.
