What Are You Playing?

Reggie's watching you sleep.

I'm always going to be thinking of Reggie's face now when I see her. Thanks guys.

And lol I should have proofread that before posting.. I just meant take breaks... I dunno what I meant. Probably tmi

We had lunch just now and I jokingly brought it up (grandia). She admited that she would like to actually play next time. So it'll be about the balance. She also admitted she forgot there was so much reading in the game. Again I told her that's kind of what this genre entails.

She still loves Ryudo tho. To me he seems like a punk.

When I see your face
I think of Reggie too

Wasn't really sure how it was going to go. I asked if she wanted to play a bit but was tired and said she wanted to watch.

Next time if she wants to play I'll have her take the controller while I watch. Or I'd like to rotate battles or something.

I've honestly never played an RPG with or around someone before so there's alot going on here.

She seemed interested but I'm not sure she'll want to play an entire RPG especially if we only play an hour or so at a time.

I might have to mix stuff in with the game playing.

When my wife and I play through an RPG we are normally playing through for 2-3 hours at a time, enough time normally to get some story and through a dungeon for the majority of modern RPGs, it totally depends on if the story is engaging enough though. For Co-Op RPGs, Tales games are pretty good actually.

Probably ideal to try to at least get 2 hours in. Like you said, it gets you some story and a dungeon.

Since this is our first time doing this it was kind of nervy seeing if she would sigh if I talked to everyone in a village before doing story points. Something I personally do. Shes seemed ok with it.

It was fun hearing her sigh when I left the first shop without buying any medicinal items before going to the first Tower in Grandia II. Showed she was still paying attention + somewhat engaged.

Beat Shining Force III last night as expected. Started Ogre Battle: March of the Black (PSX) version for first time last night. Cool game, looking forward to getting into it. Feel like the last time I played a more unique strategy game like this was Dragon Force, and I loved that.

Looks like I'm about halfway done with Mana Khemia 2.

I loved Dragon Force and never could be bothered to finish an Ogre Battle game. It's not that they are bad games, I just couldn't get into them for w/e reason.

Did you ever play Brigandine for Playstation? It seems like another similar game but I can't find it for a good price.

[Gypsy]

Yes. I found Brigandine to be very bland.

Did you beat all 3 scenerios or just the US release?

One of my top 5 favorite Saturn games. Even though it's just the first part, it stands on it's own incredibly well
