No, even if I agreed that it was, that doesn't necessarily make it mind-blowing.  It's a good adventure game, but there was never a point that it really stood out from the crowd.  I think it's similar to what happened with Eternal Darkness - the people that play it, like it a lot, but something about it just doesn't draw the crowds at a glance.  Maybe it's the weird title or all the bizarre names or just the color scheme with miss green lips on the cover.

Well, the thing is the year you're on doesn't really matter. You could be doing the same stages over and over again, and it actually may be possible to beat the game without going to every stage, but I'm not sure.  It should take you a minimum of five years to get through every stage though.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Fire Emblem. Is it doing well?

Eliwood is Roy's father.  It is indeed FE7.  FE6 (also GBA) had Roy and perhaps Marth too, and I think they were also featured in one of the first games.

I think the years just keep going.  It encourages you to keep going back to old stages, so there may not be a limit.

Yeah, I think they really just misfired on their timing.  I was planning on getting it before the price drop, but just hadn't gotten the chance yet.  The new price inspired me to go ahead, but I still haven't had time to finish it.  Companies need to learn that unless they're putting out something mind-blowing, they can't just stick a new game on the market against huge franchises.

Heh, notice the date on my question?  I never did understand the seeds though, so that's nice to hear -- not particularly helpful since I rarely used food, but nice to know.

    Yeah, I'm going to have to look around and see if anyplace has the originals on VHS someplace.  I tried looking online, but it seems that all you can get are special editions.  I saw the originals in a place not too long ago, so I'm gonna swing by and see if it's still there.

    Her main beef with it is that a lot of the added stuff in the backgrounds is just distracting, and the computer effects look really out of place to her.  

    In the same light, I do not at all enjoy the new music at the end, simply because it doesn't seem to match the scenes as well.  

    I didn't mind the special editions much, but I still see them as alternate versions and don't like being forced to get them instead of how the movies were originally produced.

    I'm hoping that graphically, they'll be able to implement some more bump mapping and reflection effects.  As gorgeous as the first was, having those texture effects would have really bumped it up another notch.

    But if you like turn-based strategy, pick up a Game Boy Player and the Advance Wars and Fire Emblem games.

    TalkBack / RE: Burnout 3 Swerves to Miss GameCube
    « on: February 10, 2004, 04:05:29 PM »
    I agree with Syl.  There's still time for them to pull the rabbit out of the hat.  My guess is that Criterion won't let publishers farm out their games to port teams, and that's why we always get the Burnout games last.  Acclaim staunchly refuted any talk of Burnout 2 releasing to GC and Xbox, but after the holidays, that's exactly what happened.

    TalkBack / RE: More GameCube Accessories Before New System
    « on: February 10, 2004, 05:51:43 AM »
    Wow, that rant was completely out of place.  And saying that the GBA not having a backlight is dirty business is just silly.  I rarely had problems playing my GBA, and it sold phenomenally.  The high sales of the GBA drove those screen prices down, allowing them to introduce the SP at a reasonable price.
