Infinite Undiscovery is pretty good if ya ask me., i liked the style of that Game. // Lost Odyssey was a pain.. because the European VA's were soooo baaad.. i mean, the german really did sound like they have better to do than to voiceact - like, sleeping, or something. it really killed the experience. But other than that, i liked it a lot. =) / Record of Agarest War is my fav Strategy Game this gen.

My favourites are Nier (For its Story), Star Ocean TLH (because it was just a great journey imo), and Demons Souls. (I wonder if WKC2 will fit in my favolist, if the Online mode is good enough, it will.)

PS; I LOVED Last Rebellion. it sucked sooo hard that the Game took only 12 Hours. (including Sidebosses for Platinum..) .. dunno why, it was technical crap, and the Story wasnt great, either.. but it sucked me right into it for a nice ammount of time. =D (maybe cuz its so oldschool.. ^^)

it haven't release in the US yet, i'm waiting for it, unlike most people i loved the first.

for people who want more JRPGs, you should check out Ar Tonelico Qoga, its an old school RPG, very lighthearted and fun.

there is also Atelier Rorona which i recommend A LOT since its a very unique kind of JRPG , heavily focused on workshop managing.

Lol , i'll just quote myself again, but to be honest JRPGs are really numbered so it won't hurt your pocket much if you just went and bought them all ,it would be worth it in a long run, JRPGs are always fun once you play them as a gamer rather than a reviewer

Serious ^^'???

yeah, i think it was fun. :p after seeing some reviews, i didnt think itll be more then mediocre, but i think its pretty solid.

Couldn't stand to finish the first one, but I've heard that part 2 is way better

finished 60 of the Sidequests now.. and there are so many left.. -_-" xD.. they are pretty easy for the most part, mostly running and collecting, but its a bit boring. But i am watching tv while doing them, helps a lot. xD

So what does "balanced" mean in this case?

Also, have they improved the menu system at all? I always found it annoying how you couldn't equip/unequip items while browsing shops and things like that.

Balanced means that A. the Game isnt Unfair (though challenging, but this forces you to play much more strategically) and B. Every Class (Weapon Specialization) is worth using.  Some are Stronger, some have more survivability, some have great support to help others.

Menu's are still annoying, sorry. *g*

__~~ 101/150 Sidequests =D .. they really give cute rewards, they unlock the last skills in every branch, and the most give you between 500-50000 Guild Points (mostly 15000-30000) and if nothing else, they give you rewards or quest items needed for others, OR they unlock some of the best people for your selfmade town.

Have you been soloing the sidequests? I know the original WKC it was really hard to solo most of the quests, is it still like that?
