I've been playing Dragon Quest VI and dealing with the halfassed translation done by dejap. Yeah, it's playable, as they say, but I don't play RPG's just to play through them, I play through them for the story and it's completely destroyed the story. And nobody else seems to be working on a translation for it. Lazy fucking people.

I'm mostly pissed at Dejap. Why start something and then not finish it? especially when you've finished translations for many other games? Why just leave people hanging with a 'good enough' and say you're not going to do any more with it? Pure fucking bullshit.

That's the same thing with Fire Emblem - Genealogy of the Holy War for me. Great game, yet it's not 100% translated. I know there was another group who continued Dejap's work, but even that was still left incomplete.

Such a waste.

Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest V, and Call of Duty 4.

Final Fantasy XII is beginning to get frustrating...

I need to get it on Steam now that I have a PC that will actually play it.

Final Fantasy XII is beginning to get frustrating...

How so?  I've been playing for about 33 hours and so far it has not become frustrating...

I'm just not enjoying the battle system. It's was kind of cool at first, but I'm not enjoying the mmo feel to it. Plus I'm not really enjoying the story either I just find it kind of disappointing I will prolly just end up quitting it and playing FF6. Another final fantasy that I just can't get into. I don't know why considering how popular it is.

I'm wanting to play something new. Any recommendations from anyone? Preferably something for 360 or something I can emulate. (PS2, GC, PSX, whatever)

[HyperNerd]

Hmm... Star Ocean 3?
Dragon Quest VII? (Unless you're terrible at RPG's and hate grinding.)
The Legend of Zelda: <Insert Title here>?

Where are you in Final Fantasy VI? I loved it up until a point, and after that point, I loved it like, 5X more.

I've never played FFVI over an hour I just can't get into it. I've tried to force myself to like it too. I just can't.

I know what you mean.  Personally I, IV, and VIII were the only ones I could ever really get into.

Almost done with everything in Fallout 3, logging in about 60 hours.  All that's left is finding 7 bobbleheads and completing the main story for the achievement whoring satisfaction, then I'll be done until The Pitt comes out.

I think I'll finish Lost Odessey or Blue Dragon next.

Persona 3 if you're cool with PS2 emulation.

Am I the only one for whom this evokes a (literal) Pavlovian response?

Cave story should be out for WiiWare next month, and I hope the patch in that video is part of the downloadable content.


Edit:  Originally wrote 'invokes' instead of 'evokes', which I guess implied that the video was performing some kind of spooky rite to bring forth saliva.  I blame being at work at 4 am.

Will I be able to understand and follow it? I haven't played any previous entry.

I think I'm gonna start on the Metal Gear series  if I can find out if disc 2 of MGS 3 Subsistence works it has MGS 1 and 2 on it.

Yeah, each one is unconnected 'cept for the occasional reference or easter egg. 3 can be played standalone.
