@mad55, u ever play phantasy star portable ? i think its a very good game and the sequel is coming out in sept this year stateside finally.

are we counting PSN(PS1 classics), if so I got wild arms 1&2, suikoden, and grandia! all of these games rock! why can't the U.S get suikoden II and vagrant story!?

anyway: on hexyz force, I'm about 10 hours in, playing Levants story, so far the game is good, did the install, everything goes very smoothly.

I played a little bit on a friends psp i liked the combat system just didnt know if it had a story. though i do plan on purchasing the second one.

@mad55, play the ps2/360 game ( phantasy star universe ) and see if u like that, i liked it alot. the story i thought was decent and if u like that game u will like the portable versions as well. they are pretty close the same in everything.

@mad55, i also like the opening song in the game, if u let the game alone for a few secs. the opening song will play with a nice opening cutscenes. if u youtube it u will see what i mean.

@ Robotehkheaven yeah i just saw the opening theme its pretty good. I might just try phantasy star universe for the 360 first its pretty cheap.

Im like 8 hours in hexyz force its pretty good to me also though i hear each story is only around 20-25 hours.

I have gone through both the Cleric and the Knights stories and the Knights story takes less time to complete (or atleast it did for me, possibly because of I played the Cleric first).  I must say, I enjoyed every second of the game.  If I had to complain about anything, there are a few moves the Cleric (plus) her partner get that makes her story a bit to easy (the Knights was definitely more difficult). 

And definitely think about what Robo said here.  Phantasy Star Portable 1 is definitely awesome.

And yes, we need Suikoden 2 to come out on the PSN!

@mad55, its  a good game. i put over 50hrs into it because i wanted the best weapons which are all s class weapons.

i cant wait for some on the ps1 classics that japan has too make it stateside, for me to download and play on my metal gear solid peace walker psp. :)

@ssenkahdavic, too bad we dont live close enough too each other, then maybe we could play monster hunter freedom 3 when its launched sometime next year stateside.
