You might want to check your use of the term "quire" before you criticize someone else's English. A quire is a stack of 24-25 sheets of paper or 1/20th of a ream of 500 sheets. A "choir" is an ensemble of singers, including the sort of religious singers to whom one would preach if one were so...

The eyeshadow looks a bit silly, but whatever. I care a lot more about whether they get Stephen Russell back to do Garrett's voice.

Not strictly what you're asking OP, but it was such a moment of relief when über-perky Vanille punched whiny-emo Hope near the beginning of Final Fantasy XIII. Truly unintentionally funny in a horror/serious game? The terribly earnest but awkward delivery of most of the dialog in TES IV...

Legend of Grimrock (2012) is what you're looking for if strategic and tactical party-based gameplay are your priorities. Interesting mechanics, elegantly minimalistic presentation. Otherwise, what about Drakensang: The Dark Eye (2008) and Drakensang: The River of Time (2010)? They're...

1. Grigori from Dragon's Dogma As silent protagonists with interesting situations to deal with, I liked Corvo from Dishonored and the party setup in Legend of Grimrock.

The key criterion for being a cyborg is the visibility of the implant? Interesting. So everyone with a pacemaker so well integrated into their bodies that they don't notice it is not a cyborg, or is it just that old folks who spend most of their time ignoring the tech implants aren't cool?

The best in terms of what? Our personal favorites? FF XII is my personal best FF. I like the characters and artwork, love the politics, and enjoy the license board and programmable AI. And what if someone wants to argue that FF I is the best because it started it all? I'd have no problem...

Knowing the ending and achieving the ending are two completely different things. Yes, I often watch game endings on YouTube. No, it doesn't spoil a game for me or prevent me from completing it. In fact, it often makes finishing the game more satisfying because I knew what my goal was and finally...

FF IV on PSN should be the "Complete Collection" version that was remastered for the PSP and includes After Years. It's shiny and runs well, in other words. V and VI are the Playstation versions, so they're still rough. EDIT: FF VII might be the way to go if you don't like really traditional...

Fantastic! This, Gravity Rush, and Soul Sacrifice are on my "will buy" list. They are the reasons I plan on buying a Vita.

PCGamer.de says the first part of the trilogy--Blade of Destiny--is slated to come out Q3 2013. It doesn't have direct screen comparisons, but it has a few images up for a general look at "then/now" graphics.

I had great fun with Risen 1 & 2. I wouldn't mind more games like that.

My favorite rpg of the last gen was Final Fantasy XII. If you mean this gen, then it's Dragon's Dogma or one of the Souls games. Nier was also excellent.

Well, thanks for the correction in any case. I definitely prefer fixing mistakes like that.

My bad. Typing too quickly. I assume you prefer the term MOBA?
