i swear - just when i think i've kicked the addiction, i can hear Ganon's voice -
"C'mon Gus - come back.... it's fun."
Now I've got 17 and 1/4 heart containers, all the items including the Hero Charm, Magic Armor and all bottles. I beat this games months ago, and yet I'm right back on it like it's brand new again. I'm going to find EVERYTHING this time. And then I'm going to play Ocarina of Time again and find EVERYTHING.
Don't be surprised if I start bearing a green tunic and cap here soon. Damn you Link - damn you to HELL!!!! HELL!!!!!

And plus a friend is going to let me borrow his N64 and Majora's Mask - there's another good month of my life gone already.

Disgaea looks awesome! I'm unclear, are you the bad guy in that game? Some kind of Satan's son... I haven't played a strategy RPG in ages.
I'm not sure how I feel about Final Fantasy 11... from people who've played the beta, it sounds bad... but who knows. It IS just the beta, after all. I've never really played an online RPG like Everquest or Ultima for very long, never enjoyed them, so that ALONE turns me off. Some people have said it's boring, uneventful, and goes at a snail's pace. One guy worked for countless hours killings bats so he could get their spoils and build a new piece of armor that hardly increased his stats at all, and said that was par the course.
I beat Zelda a couple months ago, and I just beat Xenosaga today... unexpectedly. That was abrupt. Great game, but naturally it wasn't all that satisfying.

In all honesty I haven't played it yet..I'm trying to beat Suikoden 3 first. What I do know is your a prince who had slept for a few years and you wake up to a power struggle for the netherworld kingdom, so you basically make you claim to it being yours and fight for it.
As for FFXI...I dunno, I liked Diablo 2 a lot in the sense of item finding and interacting with others. It looks promising to me, especially if I can get some friends to play it as well.
As for XS, with the fact that it's only the first episode, what did you think of the story? Yeah, it was abrupt, but I have a felling this is going to be one of if not the best RPG series. Though, that may change depending on what Square Enix does with Chrono Break.
Akira Toriyama better do the character designs and hopefully it'll involve Trigger more.

Is Chrono Break even offical yet? All I've heard is rumors... from people with no sources! God, I hope though. The two best games I've ever played both have ''Chrono'' in the title.
Xenosaga was just awesome... but I beat it in under 40 hours, and a few of those were spent gaining levels I didn't even need. The techs/skills/ether, the battles... all deep and involving, but the game wasn't long enough for me to do everything I wanted with them. I guess I'll hunt down some sidequests though, extend the life. I want more.
But the good outweighted the bad. The characters were all compelling, it says a lot about the game that after I beat it, I nearly went nuts wondering about all the unanswered questions. Wilhelm, Margulis, Second Miltia, Chaos... just can't wait to see what they do.
I also loved the graphical style, all the right angles and sterile sleek environments... FFX has too much color and detail, and jerky character movements.
Music- underutilized. Every track (barring that awful lounge theme) is just fabulous, but you could go hours at a time hearing no music except the battle/victory themes. Environmental sounds just won't cut it. They have the guy who I think is the most talented composer in the industry, and they barely gave him any ''airtime''... ridiculous.
And I think they dropped the ball on the Ziggy/MOMO thing, it was really touching and then kind of lost steam, went more towards a JR/MOMO story that wasn't nearly as interesting... but now I'm just rambling. That game is really fresh on my mind and I've got a million ideas and opinions on it. That says it all. Ep 2 can't come soon enough.

I agree with you there. But it's not all bad... I LOVED all the character designs (and their accents!)... but that's a bit shallow. The characters that WERE fleshed out, were interesting though. The rest are kinda thrown in. It also had my favorite battle system of all time, I NEVER got into a battle that I didn't want to fight.
Even if the game sucked, the soundtrack alone would have salvaged it for me.

the soundtrack was amazing, yes. i'll give it credit there.
i have the soundtracks to FFVII - XI, but i don't have chrono cross...hmm. i should hunt that down, maybe, yes.

Well, I'll put it to you like this. Square trademarked both 'Unlimited Saga' and 'Chrono Break' at the same time...the names that is. And well Unlimited Saga is already out. Now I personally believe that Square and Enix were discussing merger plans way down the line. So it kinds makes sense that Square put Chrono Break on hold until after the merger so that they'd get the benefit from Enix whom helped them with Trigger. That's just my theory.
Did you ever play Xenogears? If not that'd be a great one to check out. Before the creator of the series decided to redo the series (after leaving Square and lossing certain rights). In the Perfect Works timeline Gears was #5 out of 6. Maybe when the series gets down that far Monolith Soft might splurge and buy all the rights to the game and just remake it. Who knows though, for the most part XS followed the timeline in the Perfect Works book, but not completely.
Oh, and I just checked and www.gamesarefun.com has new MGS3 screens if you want to check them out.

WooferAttack > if i remember, it goes like this:
1. find (rather buy...) Tingle's 'Super Map' in a letterbox. costs 200 rupees or something like that
2. find all the Triforce maps who lie in the islands indicated by Tingle's Super Map.
3. have the Triforce maps decrypted by Tingle at Tingle island... but it's expensive, it costs you 398 rupees per map (or something like that, maybe 395, near 400 anyway), you'll probably have to dig out some treasures on the sea to gain money! (there are some Triforce map places who have lots of rupees in them though as well, so it's pretty ok)
4. once the Triforce maps are decrypted, the triforce fragments appear on Tingle's Super Map (for in where square to search) and on the Triforce maps (for where on the square to search). dig them out like treasures.

but that always takes all the magic out of it. i think it's more fun to play through the first time without any kind of help...and then go back through and see all the side stuff you missed.

But if you get really stuck....its a great help. A game where you are stuck is ruined if you cannot go no further..

im at the end of the game, last boss, but i kinda lost interest into it, because some parts are just quasi impossible to find without internet help..., the part with the trading of the different flowers and flags is way to hard to get
