That seems to happen A LOT to people. With siblings screwing up their saves. Good thing in my house we keep all our stuff seperate.
Currently 13-14 hours into Wild Arms 4. I'm tired of all the hate being spread about this game on various review sites. This game is FANTASTIC! And it adds a lot of fresh new ideas to the wild arms series.

I finally unlocked the military destruction missions in ng. Ya, try beating 100 military enemies when 1/4 of them are rockets and 1/4 of them are the bastards that catch you in the air and take off 1/5 of your health lol. Fun to try but i'm not sure i'm ever going to beat that. Most i've killed is like 56.
Almost beat xenosaga 2 now. The combat blows. Fortunately 95% of gameplay on the first disc is story. The second disc has you fighting a lot more. =/
Just started Jade Empire too. Seems like it might be ok although it's a little awkward to control the characters.
Oh started ffx also for some reason lol. Felt like playing it again. Man I have a lotta time to play games when I don't play wow or eq2.

That sounds tough. I'm at some huge skeleton dinosaur in some caves beneath a cathedral. I thought the enemies I've seen so far were pretty tough but your guys sound way tougher.

Unfortuantly Xenosaga II did suck ass. Which is a real shame because the first game is probably the best RPG on PS2. The combat in II was absolutely crap, the story scenes were too short and seemed like small snipets, the story was diconjointed, just felt like a random series of events as opposed to a continuos story. Music was ok in parts but nothing that can touch Yasunori Mitsuda's score for part 1.
The character redesigns were dumb, and the total personality transplant of Shion was just stupid, she acts like a totally different person in Saga II. They are trying to correct their mistakes on Saga III, but by then I'm not sure I'll care, great job on crapping up a great series. The story in some parts was not too bad, but just overall nothing felt "right". I mean they took away the U.M.N and everything....ugh...such a bad sequel is scares me....

They were redesigned cause there was NO POSSIBLY WAY you could take the original designs seriously in part 2, which had a lot more of a 'mature' story to it (which was why they went with mature character designs over generic anime cutesy designs). The only reason I played 2 was to continue the story of 1, and it did its job. Now i'm hyped for Episode 3.
I'll agree, there were a lot of gameplay things that took a hit in the sequel. The battle system especially. As for the story, i found it more 'movie like' in the sequel due to the better directing IN the actual cutscenes. A lot of the originals were quite stiff. Either way, I still love the entire series (and of course episode 1 is the better game)
As for me... I beat Wild Arms 4 this morning. I'm still trying to work out in my mind if it really WAS my favorite game in the series. If not, then it was pretty darn close to the top of my list. What a fantastic game, ignore what all the lame-ass reviewers are saying.

I like the story in two so far. Mainly because I think Jr. is badass and it mostly focuses on him. It was really cool when you went to where he was raised and got to see all the flashbacks. Too bad ep. 3 will be the last one. I just hope they don't leave any big plotholes. Example, ep. 3 should really focus on chaos more. He's been there the whole time and we know nothing about him. We know Jin knew him and canaan a while back. That's about it. Oh and ep. 1&2 will be out for the ds with the originals battle system for both. They're shifting the focus of the story in 2 to shion rather than jr though, so it will probably suck as shion is now my least favorite character in the series. She's just so retarded.
FFX spoiler.. sorta...
Oh and I think FFX is the best rpg on the ps2. When Tidus "died" it made you feel really sad. The whole story was great.

So that's where you've been. How's it going Dark? (although you probably don't remember me)
Funny stuff, every once in a while an old member shows up and turns out they've been on WoW all the time. You're like the tenth member (on various forums) who came back with that story.
Ok, I've never played or seen an mmorpg. What's the addiction and how come it doesn't get boring after hundreds of hours of doing the same thing (I imagine)? I can't understand people paying for a game and then pay monthly fees to keep on there for so long. But there are millions doing it.

Most games have a free trial, just try it out and see.
And for me the only mmorpg that didn't get boring requireing me to take long breaks was everquest 1. WoW is fun but it also gets boring. I still just have no idea how people on pve servers don't go insane with boredom.
