    Playing Devil Survivor Overclocked at the moment. It's quite fun but the character designs are really bad.

    They're worse again in the sequel! Theres a girl who looks like she's got a wardrobe under her jumper.

    Make sure to talk to every character every time you get an opportunity. It affects the options you have later in the game. I didn't realise this on my first playthrough and was limited to the paths I could take. The sequel is much clearer on this feature with you ranking up colleagues akin to Persona 4.

    Plugging away at Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, quality game, really enjoying it. Got Persona 4 and Disgaea 3, for after it, and a few Final Fantasy saves I need to cut through.

    I'm almost 14 hours into Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2. Currently rocking a heal slime in my party, with an angel slime in the reserves to gain some levels before I start using it in the active party. I'm in the level just after the ice level (there's always an ice level!)

    About 15 hours into Trails in the Sky. Lovely isn't a word I'd normally use to describe a game but it seems to suit this one. Such a pleasant experience all round. Well paced, excellent script and a nice balance between combat/plot/character development. The dialogue really makes it special, hopefully the sequel(s) get the same localisation team.

    It reminds me of Grandia, it's got the same upbeat atmosphere of adventure and likeable characters.

    I played about 10 hours and couldn't really get into it. I'll probably give it another go though since were definitely getting the sequel now.

    I'm wondering how I completely forgot about that series, definately one I'll be looking into re-playing.

    Did Grandia 2 have box art with (at least here) an airship on the front of it or am I thinking on a different game? Having a serious bout of nostalgia here.

    No,I think you might be thinking of skies of arcadia?on the gamecube.

    That's another up beat adventure RPG that I love :) Wish there were more made like it and less RPGs trying to emulate the melodrama of FFVII (which worked because in that game because between the melodrama it had it's own charming adventure going on).

    I loved Skies of Arcadia back when i Dreamcast. Would love to have given the Gamecube version a go, as i remember they reduced tge amount of random battles they had in it, which was one of my gripes with it originally. Loved the ship to ship battles though.

    Still slowly plugging along at Etrian Oddessy IV. I don't know how similar it is to the earlier games but I really like it.
    I think for the first time I actually have a vague understanding of how to approach stuff like skill trees and the like since everything is laid out so clearly.
    For a game thats just a bunch of grids it has a fantastic sense of adventure.
    I've been playing it far more than soul hackers which I was looking forward too much more.

    On the Final Chapter of Trails in the Sky. Surprised that this 4th chapter is the final one. I'm 25+ hours in and expected to be only half way through! Only starting to get the hang of the Orbments and the characters are only level 23.

    Very enjoyable game though. Looking forward to the sequel.

    I played the first one, it's one of the best games I've ever played. The newer ones apparently offer more freedom to go offand do siequests whereas 1 and 2 are just one big dungeon.

    The map is such a simple addition but it adds so much to the game. Basically the map is your story and it's you creating it. It makes the whole thing feel more personally. That and it's just a damn fine game. Just a shame the music has gone orchestrated. While it's great music, Yuzo Koshiro's NEC PC-88 music from the rest of the series sounds far more distinctive.

    Not heard anything about it but it's made by the NIS main team so should be quality.

    I'll just leave what I got today here:

    I think its the same gameplay as Zettai Hero Project on PSP if you played that.

    Only in terms of visuals. It a turn based rogue like except every time you die the levels you gained increase your base stats you you end up stronger the next run.
