I tried FF Tactics: War of the Lions, but I thought it balls hard. Go! :P

If you like Jeanne D'Arc, get VCII. It's also a SRPG but has some interesting game mechanics to it. It's also a lot of bang for your buck and has a ton of value. I have 2 of 12 chapters left in the game and I'm at like 80 hours.

Yeah in later parts of the games the way you customize your magic is key to battle. It's kinda like the Materia system of FF7. You can take the same quartz you already own, rearrange them, and suddenly you can have like 5 high level spells from that one switcheroo. Estelle will be the main character for spells since she's so versatile with magic elements. She's ideal to stick with maybe 2 or 3 different elements, because otherwise she becomes too thin in high level spells. The little notebook with all your quest information also has all the magic combinations you can make. I ended up turning her into my earth/water user. Because water is good for healing, and earth is good for the null all damage spell. It's an ideal combination for taking on some of the harder boss fights.

I'd recommend doing as many quests as you can find. You do some neat stuff on sidequests. One side quest has you retrieving books for a librarian, and one of the books is a cat dictionary. I'm not even kidding. If you open the book before returning it it'll teach you what all the cats in the game are saying. No joke.

The game is just so brimming with life that I can't help but love it.

Yes actually really enjoying it now, even the dialogue. It even has some really nice detail in it's graphics.

Anyone get the new motorstorm pack? It's been too long since I played that game.

I have been getting back into RC! So much so that I'm 1 trophy from the Platinum!

Quick question: Can a PS3 player challenge a Vita player and if so, how? BigC3 is trying to challenge me from his PS3 and with me on my Vita, I don't know where to accept the challenge! Any ideas?

You can add me. Most of my scores are probably easy to beat. PSN: gnordy

**JakeG92** · 04-08-2012, 07:07 PM

I got my Platinum about 5 hours ago!

I'll add you anyway dude

Could do with some more races anyway, really addicted to the game

Gaming in general is rather dead right now to be honest. I am dying right now for another massive single player experience like Uncharted on my Vita. I not the biggest fan ever of Resistance but im picking it up for sure just because I found that I would rather lie in my bed and play uncharted then get my lazy ass up and make the massive trek to down stairs to play Skyrim.

Dont get me wrong I LOVE motorstorm on the Vita and still play almost an hour of Hotshots golf every day on my vita but man we need some epic single player loving, and yes I know about the big D3 game but honestly that game scares the **** out of me, I DONT want to be sucked into another 100 hour plus game! Freaking Skyrim, I loved it but I feel like I spent my holidays in that game. For me the ultimate sweet spot for a RPG is 20-30 hours, but hey thats just me.

Besides that small gripe, I still love the device, its sooooo good. Still love Super Star Dust too.
