But again, you have to do the old account switching trick on the vita (described in a sticky thread in the playstation forums I think)0 -

Finished FF4, it's still a great game. I didn't bother with the new optional dungeon. Went straight to the FF4 Interlude which is a pile of ****e. You are basically shipped between 3 dungeons and it gets exhausting since there's no break in between. Also 2 of those 3 dungeons are the sealed cave and tower of Babel, the two most annoying dungeons in FF4. Started the after years and it seems to start a bit better at least.

Don't let it put you off playing the first Valkyrie Profile game which is much, much better.
As for Last Odyssey, I ultimately enjoyed it but it has problems and isn't that great. It takes absolutely forever to get going and it starts off very slowly. The storyline isn't that great. However the short stories are excellent and it's got some good characters, especially Jansen who starts off being really unlikable.

Anyway I decided to stop playing a game with an original gameplay style and picked up Lost Odyssey which I hear is quite good. If The Last Story is anything to go by it should be.
Finished Lost Odyssey like 2 weeks, it's a grand yarn, well for 3 of the 4 disks anyway. It is unashamedly old school though, and I have no idea why. There is no form of ATB even, just a little quick time event for regular attacks.
It's alleviated by a fantastic leveling system though, basically, half you crew are mortals, the other half immortals. The mortals gain skills at preset levels. But the immortals are blank slates. So the immortals have to learn skills off mortals. I tinkered around for ages building an army of wizards
It makes the game piss easy towards the end though...you can literally have 4 immortals and 1 mortal in the party.
As for me, I just finished my first playthrough of Xenoblade, I'm on NG+ and wow, I havn't seen such a robust NG+ since Dark Souls. It's insane. New Bosses, new armor and a kickass new weapon0 -

It's not very good as well. It's got a weird FF Tactics Advance and Saga vibe to it what with the world building. It's a Kawazu game as well so it's very experimental and frankly not very good like most of his stuff.

I'm thinking of giving FF VI another shot. Unfortunately the only copy I've got is a cheap knockoff for the GBA that I unknowingly bought on eBay, seemed to do the trick at the time but now the thing can't hold onto a save file once the power is shut off. Given the extortionate price of an authentic GBA copy, I'm considering the version on the Wii Virtual Console. Has anyone played this version? Seems to be a straight port of the original, (given that it's titled FFIII), does anyone know if it's plagued by the load times the PS1 version is supposed to have? Any thoughts on it would be welcome

The first 5 hours are absolutely horrendous. It's starting to get better now but they absolutely destroyed the combat in the game with the parry move. Basically it's x to attack and x to parry. However the parry has not timing so mashing the x button is an I win button. Sure there's reaction commands as well but I see absolutely not reason to use anything other than the x button and reaction commands. A shame because the combat in KH1 was the perfect kind of challenging.

I heard it's a lot more old school and tough than even Etrian Odyssey. You have to grind like crazy in it. There is a mod for the game that increases exp gain x4 which supposedly makes the game far more playable.

I just beat Dragon Quest IX. It's a great game if a little disappointing. the town stories are good but not up to the usual DQ standards except for the final one which was really sweet. Also the game was quite easy and I felt the game didn't let you unlock enough skills before the end game. However I have to say the real meat of the game is in the post game quests and treasure maps which are really addictive and this section of the game is superb and I'm going to keep playing the game for a long time I feel. Also hoping to pick it up for my GF so we can play through the game in co-op.
