I'd get rid of the random battles. Boy I hate random battles. I always assumed it's because he's a bit whiny at points. Though, he's a spoilt 17(?) year old, who lost his home, so I think his personality is quite realistic in that sense. I don't like Vaan mind. Not because he's a bad...

As others have said, it's pretty much an issue with the idea of Jedi and Sith in general. Jedi Light choices are ridiculously goody goody, and the Sith Dark choices are stereotypically evil. I think the worst thing is, at the moment you lose out on crystals and relics by not going completely...

It's tragic that even nearly two years after release, you still can't go on a forum to discuss anything related to XIII without a war breaking out. I'm a bit torn regarding XIII-2. While the combat looks as fun as it was in the original, and the environments look amazing. I'm still deeply...

Regarding the Xenoblade discussion. I can kind of see where you're coming from about the characters. Rather than it being character focused(An example would be FFXIII), it tends to focus more on the plot(ie FFXII). However, neither is bad. It comes down to preference which one you enjoy more...

I was more turned off by the horrible european pricing. If I get a Vita, I'll probably try and import from America.

It does indeed play like Oblivion, however the asthetics are very different. I'd say if you enjoyed Oblivion you'll probably enjoy Skyrim.

Do you like Nintendo games and have money spare? If the answer is yes, then it's probably worth buying. Otherwise, probably not.

I wouldn't want it to be a MMO, but I've always wanted co-op in it. The dialogue can just ignore the second player, just like how NWN2 did it.

I just became a werewolf myself, and it was part of a questline, in fact it looks like you have to become a werewolf to continue that specific questline. Each race turns into the same looking werewolf by the looks of it.

Out of that list, from best to worst - Tales of Vesperia > Final Fantasy XIII > Magna Carta 2 > Eternal Sonata > Star Ocean TLH (Though naturally that's my opinion, so yours may vary) Edit: A bigger descrption on my opinion - Tales of Vesperia - Excellent battle system, great...

Well, I probably won't buy the DLC anyway so, it doesn't matter to me that it'll eventually be included in a goty edition.

Pretty fun game from what I've played of it so far.

New releases I tend to buy at online retailers, yes. Otherwise I often buy it on sale, be it digital distribution or online retail. I never buy from game shops though, rip off prices usually.

I'd go with the Tales of series personally. A great series which is already pretty damn similar to anime, art style and all as well as being very user friendly. Abyss(PS2 and soon 3DS) and Vesperia(360) being two of my favourites. Shin Megami Tensei(Including Persona) while an amazing series...

Well, for a serious story. They have to be relatable. As in, you can see where the villain is coming from. He isn't just being evil for the sake of it which I find to be incredibly unbelievable. Be it just backstory explaining how the villain got to be so screwed up, or they just genuinely...
