[QUOTE="Lady_Bahamut"]Oh, if anyone could explain how the skill system works in Suikoden V works I've be very grateful. I've been playing for a week now and I still don't know what the hell it's for >_>latte428

I still don't know what it was for. I don't remember it having much of an affect on anything in the game....

Lol, really? In that case I'll just ignore it then XD

It's been about a year since I played V but I don't remember anything changing from the skill system. Now, that I think about it more...I can't even remember the skill system! :P

Oooo I picked up 2 games yesterday! Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition and Lost Odyssey! :D

*cant wait for those bonus items in LO! :P

latte428

Was Lost Odyssey a pre-order?

It isn't supposed to be out until next week...

DMC4 collector's edition is AWESOME! :D

Of course, DMC4 itself is awesome.

Well for some reason (a miracle has happened!) that Australia are the first to get Lost Odyssey, it came out about a week ago. I didn't preorder mine, i simply rang up a retail store about it and they said they'd keep it aside for me to pick up with Devil Mary Cry 4 Collectors Edition! So i went in the next day because thats when DMC4's release date was and got both!

The Xbox LIVE gold for 1 month is awesome since it came with Lost Odyssey, and got that special item bonus thingy with it? :P I haven't played LO yet since I'm slashing demons in DMc4 first! I wanna start LO very soon though! and I'll let ya's know about it if you all still waiting for it to come out! XD

That is cool!

I'm still busy demon killing so I don't mind waiting for LO here! :P

I kind of wish that DMC4 and LO were not released so close together. I'm not going to race through DMC but I will be starting LO as soon as the last demon dies! I'm also getting LO on the release date.

Moving is really expensive! :(

I'm sure these games will be around for a bit to be picked up later...

I got Lost Oddysey yesterday and played a bit!! Anyone else here playing it?? So far, I really like how they make some of the scenes, and also the dream storyteling!! michelle_moraes

Not yet. Mine's shipping and should be here early next week...

Sounds like it is really going to be good!

From the reviews, LO has a feel of a FF game (not a major surprise considering who it is that made it).

It still really piqued my interest even more....

I just heard about the game about 15 minutes ago :D I watched some gameplay trailers and it looks really awesome. I dont know much about the story and such since I only just heard about it...plus I can't understand the japanese in the trailers T_T. Im gonna go see if I can find more info on it. Anyone heard about this game or does anyone have any DS games they are looking forward to?pikastar

Hahaha, Suikoden V must be the only game I know of where the main character actually changes clothes!! XDDLady_Bahamut

I figured out why I've been having a hard time lately. I've suddenly realised that I haven't brought ANY armour since the beginning of the game. So far I've been putting on what enemies have been dropping >_>;

That would explain it! The enemies don't drop very good stuff especially in the armor category...

No they don't XD

Oh well, my people have been kitted out now and are taking alot less damage! :P

Haha, Lyon and the prince got sea sick XD

Oh dear [spoiler] Either Lym is coming out on the front line to see me or she IS actually coming out to kill me. I vote for she's coming to kill me >_>;; [/spoiler]

I've also just found out that if I have less than 60 "stars of destiny" people then I'm gunna get the bad ending!! So I'm going out to look for people before I start this next battle!!

It's impossible for me to get the good ending now. It'll have to wait untill I next play it ^^;

Oh does it? I can't wait then! XD But as I said, I'm recuiting as many people as possible right now so I may not do that battle yet for a few days.

You do have to start pretty early to get the 60 people for the good ending. A friend warned me about it so I bought the guide to make certain. I did see several of the bad endings. The're not awful but the good ending is the best.

That whole thing with Lym is very interesting...

I've recuited quite a few people so far in a short period of time! I'm using a guide on GameFAQs to help.

I just counted and I've picked up 14 people today!! I thought that was pretty good. I'll continue tomorrow! X3

Gears of War 2 coming out in November of 2008. :D Can't Wait!WSGRandomPerson

Have mixed feelings on that. I just couldn't get into the first GoW. The controls were so odd!

Want to try the PC version where I can remap them to something more sane.

Cuz of the controls, I'm kind of dis-interested in 2...

10 more people today. They took a little more effort to get. I've only got a few more people left to pick up tomorrow and I'm done for the time being! Hurray!Lady_Bahamut

38 people in 3 days... SWEET!

Wish I recruited them that fast....

I also called Sialeeds a cow and a b**** when she betrayed me! XD I THOUGHT she was up to something after we took Doraat but... Ooohh... she's gunna pay. BIG TIME. And now I finially know what REALLY happened at the Sun Palace. She went crazy big time! Poor Goerg. I wonder where he went off to? Well, I stopped and saved as soon as I could so maybe he'll pop up tomorrow [/spoiler]

This is one of those stories where you never know what will happen but that Lym one was one of the most interesting that I remember from that part of the game

Does anyone have any experience with the Wild ARMs series? One is comming out for the PSP called Wild ARMs XF. It looks really good but Ive never played a Wild ARMs game before. Just curious how good this series is and if their stories are usually entertaining. Anyone else thinking about getting this game?

Also has anyone downloaded the Wild Arms PS1 game off of the PS store or played the original on PS1? Is it worth playing?

I've played 3, 4, 5 and Alter Code F. Haven't played the older ones and I have pre-ordered XF. I like them.

They are turn based RPGs with good stories.

Did you want to know something more specific about Wild Arms?

Well Im kinda just trying to get a feel for what the games are like. Have you heard anything about how difficult XF will be? I havent played many srpgs. I been playing FFT on the PSP and Ive played Luminous Arc on the DS. Any idea if the difficulty will be more like FFT or more like Luminous Arc? Or somewhere in between?

The previous Wild Arms games were just turn based RPGs but the later ones (4 and 5) do require some strategy.

It looks like XF is just taking the strategy part a bit higher. The battles in 4 and 5 are fought on a smallish hex grid setup. Some hexs have environmental elements attached which change some of the character attacks. For example, there is a magic type attack called crush. If the character is in a non-elemental square, it just does normal damage. If the character moves to a hex with fire, the attack is now a fire attack. In 5 there are 3 elemental hexs in each battle and the elements change in each battle. Character with certain abilities can also change the elements.

The stories in WA are the main reason that I play. The main story is general the same the world (Filgaia) and the characters must try to save the dying world. That is not exactly original. It is the characters that make me want to play it. They are always well thought out and have very interesting stories. There is also usually several running jokes in the game.
