I must have been incredibly biased or something because I honestly didn't expect so much depth in a JRPG! Mixing and matching classes is right up my alley. For some reason when I think of a JRPG I think mostly story with turn based combat. Also, you had me sold at "time mage". I mean, that...

Sardine crate is a very apt description! As RPGs like Bravely Default and Pokemon are a bit expensive at the moment for me, it's unlikely I'll be able to get them before I depart. But, maybe in the same feeling, I may get something like Pushmo. It looks relaxing and I generally enjoy puzzle games.

I played a bit of Monster Hunter and it's surprisingly cute and funny, which I really didn't expect from the cover. It was only a demo, but I can see how it would get addicting. I've been hearing a lot about Shin Megami, but I still don't know much about it.

I have heard of the optional difficulty and random encounters before, but they don't make me want to buy the game unfortunately. For some reason being able to change the difficulty and turn off random encounters kinda feels like cheating or something. Of course, random encounters was one of...

I'm not sure if this title counts as a true simulation game or not, but I would highly recommend Crusader Kings II. It basically simulates the historical time period of the dark ages. It's hilariously fun, if you can get past all of the menus. You play as a count, duke or king of a dynasty in...

I've never really been in to visual novels, so it's likely not my cup of tea. I very well might try it out when I come back from Germany though! At the very least, it looks interesting.

I think I have tried Golden Sun quite awhile back, or at least the GBA titles. I think I also watched a let's play of the GBA game and I remember it looking really entertaining. I just looked up Dark Dawn, and it's actually kinda weird seeing the series rendered in 3D. A good weird! It'll be...

This poem is great. Also, I just tried the demo for Monster Hunter and even though it's really quirky (like not having a tutorial) I actually really enjoyed it. I loved that I was tracking down monsters or something. Whatever it was, anyway.

I've actually been rather hesitant with picking up Bravely Default. I'll definitely take a look at your review. I didn't play too many JRPGs as a kid like Final Fantasy, so it's an entire genre I have little experience with. Do you think a newcomer would enjoy Bravely Default? I'm really...

Haha. I'm actually holding off with pokemon in respect of my brother, a huge pokemon fan, so he can transfer his pokemon from earlier games and play the game through. I like pokemon, but I can only really play every other one because I get tired of them too quickly. I know, crazy. I actually...

Well, it's not really a vacation. I am taking two classes and am specifically there to become fluent in the language (I've been learning German for quite awhile now), and I will surely be enjoying a lot of Germany. The only reason I'm taking the 3DS in the first place is to make the boring long...

I dunno, I think an electric mouse is easier to market than a... well, what animal is Eevee supposed to be anyway? Is it a cat? A bunny? Err... and Eevee may be objectively better than Pikachu in every way, but Eevee's design is kinda boring. It's brown, with some tan-ish fur. It's also a normal...

Hello there! I recently bought a 3DS, as it's time I finally give in and buy a new console. And I figured what better time than before my painfully long flight to Germany! The only problem is I am relatively poor at the moment, having spent all of my funds on said trip to Germany. I have...

Just gonna have to get Netrunner and force my friends to play. Or maybe I'll just force my brother to play. Either way, I really got to get it!

Yeah, I have a friend that mentioned they were similar, but unfortunately I've not played either. I really like the idea of Power Grid though. Right now I've ordered Citadels because it accomodates so many different numbers of players and it just sounds really cool. You should check out Arctic...
