Replaying Tales of Graces f & it’s snowing
So far I haven’t played any really good games this year, sure there has been a few games that has been really great. But they have been so few… Later in the month I’ll post my best/worst games of 2012. Gotta keep that tradition alive.
So for now I am actually replaying Tales of Graces f, something I hardly do. Replaying RPG’s that is, but I really loved Graces and I actually have nothing else I really want to play. I have other games to play, but I’m not so interested in playing them. Not right now at least. It’s also so fun to replay, because I won’t make the same mistakes I made the first time. Or like I had a hard time with some stuff in the game, I’m better trained now and so far has plowed through all earlier obstacles. So I’m really having a blast!
And then we’ve gotten snow… Not to fond of this, sure it looks nice and it shines a bit brighter. But it also makes it much harder to get to work for me. Its cozy and stuff like that, would probably enjoy it more if I had a girlfriend I could snuggle together with and just enjoy the colder weather. Yeah, that would be so nice. That feel, that feel bro.

Two long awaited JRPGs of 2013
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of The White Witch
This will be a great game to start 2013 with, at least I hope it will be. But everything I’ve seen so far just makes me want the game even more, the music is nice, the animations are pretty good. And the English voice acting is really nice! Wonder if I’m the only one to think that?
Wouldn’t be the first time, since I mainly prefer English dubs over the Japanese ones. As long as I find them good. Hopefully this game will up to the hype I’m feeling for it.
Tales of Xillia
This is so far my most anticipated game of 2013! I’m a big fan of the Tales of series and I’m eagerly awaiting this game being released in English. Hope it will be released in the US and EU at the same time, this time around. So I don’t have to go around importing this title, because I’ll do it if I have too. You can bet on that! Since we have no real English trailer for the game just now, I’ll just be posting Milla’s intro from the game. I also really hope they make an English version of the song, or at least keeps it but as an intrumental version instead. Just like they did with Tales of the Abyss’ intro. Can say much more really, I’m a Tales of junky and I’ll take every Tales of game I can get my hands on. Hope we’ll get Tales of Xillia 2 in English also.

Disgaea D2, trailer time!
Disgaea D2 (Dimension 2) is a direct sequel to Disgaea 1, it will presumably take place a couple of years after the events of the first game. It seems like this Dimension series will be a whole new Disgaea series in its own, since Nippon Ichi Software has said they are developing Disgaea 5 too. I’m glad to see that Laharl and his gang are the starts again, I’ve missed then all as main characters. Hopefully there will be a bunch of new stuff in the game and they keep the humor at the same level as before. I do like their new appearances, well its mostly just Etna and Laharl who has changed much. Laharl most I would say.
Hopefully and most probably NISA will localize this game, I sure hope Barbra Goodson will reprise her role as Laharl. Of course I hope all the returning characters will keep their original English voice actors. Well for now, you can check out the trailer below.

I finally have Lunar
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete was the JRPG that made me fall in love with JRPG, until I played that one I was actually a bit hateful to the whole genre. Hehe, sweet irony that its just about the only genre that gives me incredible satisfaction. I first played this game around 1999/2000 and was hooked immediately, it grabbed my heart early on and has yet to let go.
And it was thanks to a friend I had at that time, who let me borrow the game. Or rather he forced it on me and I was not very excited about playing it. But that quickly changed. And now years and years later, I finally have the game myself. I can hardly believe it, its my early birthday present to myself. The best one I’ve ever given myself and one that will be cherished for a long, long time. I am so very happy.

Final Fantasy XIII beaten to a flan!
After much, much time I can finally say that I have beaten Final Fantasy XIII!! And it feels really good! One of my few backlogged games beaten. And I’m not really sure what too think of the game now, I haven’t liked it all the way and it’s not in my top 5 Final Fantasy games. But I really liked the ending and everything with it.
All in all I think its an okay game, I had higher hopes for this game. But then again so did a lot of us, so I guess that’s why there are so many people hating FFXIII. Anyways, I finished the game in 52hours. I think about 8hours of them are spent on just powerlevling, since I had some real trouble later in the game. I was so weak and I died often, but by the time I was facing the last boss I was quite powerful. But I love beating a boss that does not stand a chance.
And on Monday my vacation starts, so that’s going to be good! Really need to recharge my batteries, and now that FFXIII is cleared, I can finally start on Lollipop Chainsaw for real. Looking forward to that, hope I’ll enjoy it now.

I’m gonna kick your Fal’cie ass!!
It’s been nearly a year since I last played Final Fantasy XIII, I wasn’t to enthusiastic about it then. I’m still not, but I really want to finish the game, especially since I was at the end of chapter 11. I got stuck on the Dahaka boss, that fucker kept killing me over and over. He really owned my ass, I tried a verity of strategies but he continued to make me his bitch. I lost count how many times I tried and I got fed up. So I put the game on the shelf and today for the first time in nearly a year I started playing it again.
I had another motivation his time it seemed, I spent a bit over 5hous powerleveling. Or rather powerfarming Crystal Points, I also spent a few hours fixing some sidequests. So yeah, I upgrade my characters a bit. About time I try Dahaka again and hope he won’t rape me again.
The tables had turned my friends! This time he was the asshole begging for mercy! Or he might have done that, If the game allowed it. I took him down without any problems now, my other two characters never needed a revive either. So that felt so damn good! The last boss of chapter 11 fell without any problems either. I’ve actually had a bit of fun with the game today, getting revenge was the best.
I’m taking a break now, feeling great! But now I don’t want to put the game controller away! I really want to continue to play! So I know what I’m gonna do after work tomorrow, I’m gonna run home and play more! It feels to damn great to have gotten my motivation back to play games, I had a bit of a downtime where I played nothing. Also it feels really great going back to a game I’ve had since it’s release and finally finishing it! One of my few backlogged games actually.
