II


That's roman numerals for 2, not 11, kids.

Speaking of, I have no idea what you're talking about now MJ.

Final Fantasy 5, not released outside Japan until the Playstation and GBA came along. First Final Fantasy to use ATB; also used job classes. Also the first to have the optional "supertough" bosses.
You saw Omega Weapon roaming around the Final Dungeon; you didn't have to fight it thankfully. It's been awhile since I last fought it.
Shinryu was found in a Treasure Chest as a trap. Last I recall was it casting Tidal Wave and doing about 8000 damage to all my party members (basically killing them all before they got a chance to fight).

Guardian Heroes is a stat-brawler (action-RPG) for the Sega Saturn; imagine if Double Dragon were in a medieval fantasy world, and you and 5 other buddies could go about beating stuff up for experience points, which could then be spent on new combos, improved damage, etc.

Thanks-- the Arabic helps.

I don't see myself having fun / eagerly replaying this one as much as I do the first one. Completing Jimmy's Journal and all of the Chip 'n' Dale missions seems more tedious/annoying than anything.

Game overall was fun to go through.

I've heard it was pretty awesome

I don't know. I just played through the KH ending and I realized I didn't want to play through IT again. :| I like the original control scheme better (being able to move the camera without ceasing the X mashing) though.

Some of these minigames look near impossible.

I like the synthesis mode a lot better this time around.

Gummi fighting can be really frustrating, but I haven't even created my own ship yet.

Oh, all the minigames [in Jiminy's journal] are totally doable. Some of them you just come back later in the game and complete them in 2 seconds when you have Magnega or Lv3 Glide.

The Gummi stuff is kind of superfluous but I was thinking on one run how much better it is than Star Fox was. (Not as a game-- just the sophistication.) Since they got rid of the warp system you just run through it once and never look at it again. Even the last route was easy for me and I have horrible depth perception. (Last time I beat the game I only had 7% of it done.)

The Hades cups stumped me because I don't ever use summons or magic on purpose but you can get all the points you need for your good rating by round 30 by using Stitch's ukelele. But I think I might break my X button again if I play through it another time.

PS and [old]: the secret ending for KH2 is a KH3 (if they call it that) teaser. It looks like the premise is based on Ansem Report #9 from the first Kingdom Hearts.

the creator said he wasn't planning another game...so maybe a movie?

Yeah, creators say a lot of things, try to recycle games on Nintendo, and get forced to make Chain of Memories instead of FFV:Advance.
