Just to further plan and flesh out my idea for the Ring of Fates Tactics and Chronicles thread, I was thinking of going beyond that. I might create a union with that theme in mind, where RoF gamers commune. In that sense, there would be further opportunities for the discussion of battle tactics, thanks to the features unions have to offer. For example, members could upload videos of their adventuring party pulling off a particular gambit, to show others how it's done. I see great potential in this idea, mainly because of a blog post I read on the Official News site for the game: namely that of Mitsuru Kamiyama, the game's Director. However the union's fate is ultimately decided by the game's popularity. Hopefully I'll be able to create a fun environment where fans of the series can assist each other in their quests, as opposed to those same fans resorting to the cold, impersonal help of a walkthrough. Honestly, where's the enjoyment there?

Well there are only 14 days left (as of today) until the game's American release, and I hope as an Australian resident I won't have much longer to wait. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Iced Coffee to enjoy!
