Hello!

First post from my new house with my own Internet! The novelty will probably wear off in about 37 minutes.

Just completed Dissidia about an hour ago, with the Knight of Final Fantasy 1. Was Lv77 before I beat Chaos, but at that level I pretty much annihilated him. Hah. In your face Chaos. I was pleasantly surprised to see yet more game modes and story chapters unlocked after completion Took me 30hrs to play through the Destiny Odysseys with all the characters, then complete Shade Impulse with just the FF1 character. And of course there is the Distant Glory and Inward Chaos modes, and the Colosseum, and I'd really like to complete it with Terra, Cloud and Squall. And maybe Firion. Possibly Tidus. I'm not really a huge fan of the Onion Knight or Bartz, they irritated me a little, but still there is plenty of gameplay left it in it. Bonus day tomorrow too, erm, bonus!!

Onto Magna Carta 2. Done 11hrs of it, and so far so... good. Not great, not bad. A bit better than average in the RPG stakes. I'll certainly play it through, but I don't think it will be a repeat player (like Star Ocean 4 and Vesperia will be). So far, the characters are pretty good, there are some funny parts, the combat is oddly hypnotic when you get the chains going, but some of the enemies take a little too much of a pummelling before they'll keel over. I'd recommend the game to big RPG fans, probably not so much to the passive role player as I doubt it would keep them gripped to the end. Might sound disappointing, but I haven't been disappointed yet, I guess it is just what I expected.

I'm wondering what to play next. Scribblenauts probably, but maybe FF2 on the PSP, or FFIV on DS. Either way, I would like to finish Magna Carta 2 before Dragon Age: Origins in a couple of weeks!!

I will get those gaming room pics up soon enough, just haven't had time yet!

I heard Magna Carta 2 isn't all that great, but I'd sure like to try it for free.

I still need to beat Dissidia. Although I haven't really been in the gaming mood lately. Magna Carta 2 is already out in PAL regions!? Damn. I need to check the stores. I would quite like to play that one sometime. I rented Tears of Blood years ago, and it was alright. Battle system was really odd though.

I lost interest in Dissidia a long time ago. But I actually liked playing as the Onion Knight. He's so adorable. >.>

Ah as expected, Magna Carta 2 isn't all that amazing. At least you're enjoying the experience so that's good. And play FFII next! Just because the leveling system is different. I liked it.
