PSP, and I heard that they really dumbed down the plot and made it more politically correct. Any truth to that?
What? No. It's just retranslated. Several have said that it's easier to understand the plot because of the more accurate translation. Maybe that's what you mean by "dumbed down."
I'm at the end of chapter 3 and getting my ass kicked
"Don't blame me. Blame yourself, or God."

What the hell do they translate that to?

Apparently, "Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and your faith that wrong you, not I."
The dialogue is all flowery psuedo-Shakespeare now. Zair fucked around with this message on 10-11-2007 at 12:33 PM.
Although it would be nice to not have to read the word "dargon".

Wow, they fucking ruined that line.

Daragon.
Don't forget the late-game chemist guns, either, whose names are fucking backwards. And the original game's tutorial is rendered completely useless by the first translation.

It makes a whole lot more sense in the context of the situation than the previous line.

Pretty sure there was a "Dargon" in the third opening cinematic where they list off all the jobs and some of the monsters.
That being said, there is no excuse for spelling words like "sir" differently because the writer wants to enrich the dialogue with an 'archaic' feel/dialect.

They did change that "end of first battle" scene into an actual cutscene. Now instead of looking over his shoulder at Ramza and saying the god line he says that to Ovelia after socking her in the gut.

How.... Kegwen.... uughhhhhh:
The cutscene in question
Those cut scenes are very nice looking.
Lets see:
FFT
Jeanne D'Arc (sp?)
Castlevania Rondo of Blood
Just need two or three more games to get me to rationalize buying a PSP slim this holiday.
Also Square Enix has some pretty good stuff coming presumably next year
Basically there's a shitton of ports for it and if you're willing to go the custom firmware route, you can rip all your PSX games and play them on it making the PSP an RPG mega-system.
There's also like 6 rhythm games for it to import if you're into that. Mr. Gainsborough fucked around with this message on 10-11-2007 at 11:10 PM.

Well, if you stretch the bounds of legality on one system or the other, you're bound to see more use out of one of them.

I don't! But it's still a great system!
And, yeah, I like music/rhythm games a lot. I come back to Elite Beat Agents probably more than any other of my DS games.
(I've beaten every song on the Diva difficulty but I still can't S rank anything, arg)
Also, to a lesser extent, Pump it Up: Exceed and Zero. Those have great music but subpar gameplay compared to the other two and it's a BITCH to unlock anything in.
I'm also considering Twisted Metal and Darkstalkers.

Twisted Metal very no. Darkstalkers if you like the series, very yes.
I would suggest Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX over Darkstalkers Chronicles, but that's your call.
Guilty Gear Judgement and Tekken: Dark Ressurection are the leading winners for 2D and 3D fighers respectively on the system. And Judgement has a kickin' rad side-scrolling brawler attached to it. (It's actually the main game and comes with #Reload on the side but who's keeping score?)
In the mean time, I'm content with FFT. I do hope the unlockable Fell Knight class has more than just Gaffgarion's two attacks. Would be kinda lame considering the requirements it apparently has.
Ack.
EDIT: are Onion Knight and Fell Knight the only new classes? Arttemis fucked around with this message on 10-13-2007 at 07:02 PM.
