    Did you have the American version? According to the publisher's web site, "If you have a receipt ... we offer free replacement of defective discs for a 90 day period."

    According to this:

    # Our Games

    The next game out from them is Growlanser Generations due according to the schedule in Q1 2004

    any RPG beyond Cadash would never work in an aracde

    As someone who's only ever beaten Cadash on my (ex-)TurboExpress (man I miss that machine), does anyone know if the last boss *really* says "He who is the strongest survives, or don't you know the teachings of Carl Sagan?"

    The closest I've gotten to proving that wrong is This google search that reminds me it was translated by Working Designs, so I have no problem saying that was their work.

  9. Re:Smart Move - Nostagia Games! by jweatherley · · Score: 1 · on Arcade ROMs for Download, Legally

    I would love to have a 100% true version of the old Space Harrier, After Burner 2 and OutRun.

    Can do that on MAME now but if you want to do it legally pick up a copy of SEGA AGES and a Saturn.

  10. Re:There is a reason Nintendo sold off its stake by PhoenixFlare · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Buys Rare

    "1. Rare is notorious for long delays. How will MS(who expects 5 games in 2 yrs...ha ha) deal with a company that releases games when it wants to. Only Blizzard is more tardy in the # of delays. "

    I think Victor Ireland of Working Designs said it best:

    "Delays are temporary, but mediocrity is forever."

    Although I guess Rare has proved both parts of that true lately...Not sure how that works :)

  11. Re:Overload! by ronfar · · Score: 1 · on Final Fantasy Movie Trailers
    Actually, they aren't all like that. Terra and Celes are arguably the protagonists of FFIII(American Numbering System). Celes ends up with Locke at the end, (what a waste, Setzer was much cooler!) and Terra is alone at the end. Of course, it's tough to use the term protagonist with an interactive game with multiple sub-plots and characters, I'm simply using the fact that in FFIII you start out as Terra in the main world and Celes in the world of ruin.

    Actually, the game that I'd compare to FF VII is Phantasy Star II, in that Nei reminds me of Aeris both in the fact that she's only partly human and she gets killed(;_;).

    Of course, it is true that the plot of most RPGs (RPGs that have plots, that is) tend to involve either the horrible evil villain who is going to take over the world or the villain who is going to destroy it. So, there are some similarities in that way, between Kefka and Sepiroth. But then, aren't a lot of epic plots like that? Certainly the Star Wars series seems to fall into the same catagory...

    If you want to try another J-RPG series, you could try Lunar. Lunar:SSC is coming out for PC (though not for Linux, darn it!), I like the Lunar series as much as the Final Fantasy series, myself...
