[QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"][QUOTE="CarnageHeart"]Eternal Darkness ... brokenCarnageHeartSay what? I enjoyed the story of ED (though the game didn't change enough on the second playthrough that I thought a third playthrough to see the true ending was worth it) but the game design was terrible. The first broken aspect of the game was that all non-boss enemies could be instantly incapacitated if not killed by decapitation (which was easy to pull do). To make such battles interesting, I refrained from decapitating enemies. The second broken aspect of the game was the continually replenishing magic system. Once one learned the spells to heal damage and cure insanity, the game became a cakewalk since one could heal completely from one room to the next. To make things interesting, I healed only before boss battles and in order to experience the sometimes very clever insanity effects, I didn't cure my characters' insanity. The magic system was neat in that one could pull off a lot of cool things (summoning monsters and whatnot) , but those things destroyed the balance of a game which clearly hadn't been designed to accomodate them. I was a huge fan of Silicon Knights after Legacy of Kain (I bought a Gamecube largely for Eternal Darkness) which is why I'm so disappointed by the direction Dyack has gone in. Well, those are legitimate complaints, but I'd hardly call it broken; just somewhat flawed, like any game. It was one of the most critically acclaimed games on the Gamecube (90% review average), so to dismiss it in the same breath as Too Human is pretty unfair.
Hell, you dont even know the reasoning behind the game's tagline, "If I die, you die." Because it comes right after the first chapter ends. That scene is excellent and sets up the whole game. S0lidSnakeThat scene was in the demo.
[QUOTE="gamenerd15"]the Big PSP is 100.00 Where? It's still $169.99 everywhere I see it.That would be cool. I want to play Kingdom hears, FF dissidia, FF Crisis Core, Ratchet Size matters, Resistance, Retribution, Patapon, Mega Man X, Valkyria Chronicles 2, and maybe Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday. PSP seems like a cool system, but I have all three main systems and a DS. I would be interested if it was $80 to $100. GBA rocked, but I am biased because I love SNES,

Agreed. They're totally out of place in the main series.Honestly Final Fantasy 11 and 14 should have been titled as a Spin-off of FF series likw tactic, chronicle, dissidia, kingdom heart or for that matter....chocobo racing/dungeon
