On the contrary, I have seen the ending of FF8 :grin:
My friend lent me her vcd about the CGI part of FF8! I was hoping to see Squall and Rinoa kiss but the camera zoomed out!!! Arghhhh... :x

Grandia was initially on DreamCast platform until they released it on PS platform! It was supposed to be an alternative for FF7 in DreamCast. Anyway...the game is pretty good, I told you before it was about a young adventurer named Justin who wanted to search for the legendary civilisation - the Angelou civilisation and its capital, Alent.
but the direction sense is OMG...it's a must to have good memory otherwise you have no idea which direction you originally came from...(the compass on top isn't helping either :( )

oh oh, I have no sence of direction and poor memory..... :grin:

Was there a girl dressed in white and a demon girl dressed in red?

lol, about FF8 - thats what I have for FFX-2, a vcd with all of the CGs from the game :grin: too bad they are all in japanese. The english voice actors for FFX-2 are the best ever!! really, they are one of the highlights of the game.

I was looking at all these upcoming games and its so sad - most of them are turning into "real time action" games. Noooo T_T Real time battles are time consuming and nerve racking. I hate them. But oh well....

most probably it is a character from Grandia 2 :-)

Ya...but I doubt they will change the image of the characters in different platforms.

I told you I am planning to get PS3, didn't I? :o Although it is a long wait but I'll wait. Just hope that when PS3 is released....I'm still young at heart to play games :lol:

Choki's right, the white girl and demon red girl are from Grandia II. I've played (and complete) both and IMO Grandia was better, but yes...it was easy to get lost if you stopped playing for a while.

And I agree with the whole Real-Time vs Turn-Based thing, that's why I'm playing more GBA games at the moment because they're still Turn-Based. :D

Really? :grin: I stopped playing for a couple of months and it was sort of strange to get into it. I think if Im gonna become really busy in my life - video games will quickly be forgotten :(

lol, oh you are old too? hehe, welcome to the old club. *puts up welcome banners* Oh and you must be playing adventure games...I dont think RPGs can be played in short periods of time....

I have a question, do you guys play games on your cellphones? The only way I ever play those is if I am stuck waiting for someone and there is absolutely nothing I can do.

Mobilephone games...kinda...bored me...but I occassionally play them when I am waiting for friends. Then there is the GPRS thing which I can connect to the internet it to play better games...but I see no purpose

Really? heee I thought it was just me and Broccoli :grin:

Anyways - do you have to buy games for your cellphone? Cause in here they became smart all of a sudden and cellphones don't come with games anymore. You have to subscribe to games and pay $1.99 - 2.99 per month. :o Im subscribed to this single game ...it a sushi tetris - its like tetris but you have sushi pieces instead of blocks.

*Walks into the old club and sees the beautiful banners" :D

I'm 24 in a week and three days! :o

I do play RPG's...my personal favorite recently was "KOTOR" on the XBox...but I haven't really had time to play games recently.

I used to play games on my phone when I was really bored but now that you have to pay for them (£5 each!) and download them I don't.
