I Hath Saved The World From DEATH

I HAVE FINALLY BEATEN THE JOURNEY! It took my whole Winter Break, (Which technically ends tomorrow... :[) but I have finally beaten it! Now I'm wondering if I should go on to the answer... /hmm

The game was awesome to say the least, I absolutely LOVED the story... I suppose I'll do a review after I finish The Answer, if I finish The Answer... Rawr. I heard it's even more Nintendo Hard than The Journey (on Normal Mode of course.) because it's permanently on Hard Mode. D: *wonders if he's masochistic enough to do it* Oh well, after losing a two hour battle then triumphing over him at 3 in the morning, I think I should be up to it. :D

And oops, I forgot to reflect on my whole year. D: Too lazy now...

P.S.: Kirijo Mitsuru is <3

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

While I'm vigorously working on Persona 3: FES, I realized I NEVER posted about this wonderful anime that I really really really really liked. D:

Beware of slight spoilers... (Although not too too major...)

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is one of the cutest anime EVER! I love it because of what Haruka's secret actually is... I didn't realize being an otaku was so... Rejected! Well, it probably is here in the United States, but I didn't know that it was in Japan... Well maybe in the upper-class which is exactly what Haruka is! But yeah, Haruka is awesome! It's one of the most sweetest love stories I've ever experienced after Lovely Complex. I won't give it a complete review right now though, it's not fresh enough in my mind. Although the last arc was kind of disappointing, it seems like they gave Yuuto a stupid conflict to deal with, because well... Haruka would have obviously loved whatever he gave her... ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS CLUMSY AKI-CHAN! D:

Noto Mamiko does an awesome Haruka~ I've never seen her voice a rich girl quite yet~ Much less an otaku! The story is so cute too... I couldn't believe how well Yuuto and Haruka went together. Shiina (the other woman) didn't even really get into the way of Haruka and Yuuto's relationship all that much! (Except for one major plot point...) Haruka's maid and imouto are a lot of fun as well~ Also, CLUMSY AKI-CHAN FTW!

But yeah... I liked it overall, the main character wasn't an absolute idiot (until the ending at least), and the heroine was super cute and awesome. I advise romantic-comedy anime fans to watch this. :D

On a random note: I have Tales of Hearts. :D

Backloggery Banner

Yayy~ Look what I made for my backlog! It took me like five hours to make... And it was kind of worth it... XD Now my backloggery is pretty! I've never actually posted about my backloggery before, so might as well now! it's what I use to track my games... As to how much I've beaten and stuff. It's really useful actually, and gives you more motivation to actually play and beat your games. :D

You can click the banner to get there. Besides, if you want to see the full size, you have to click it anyway. :3

Anywho, the banner has Chroche Latel Pastalie from Ar tonelico: Sekai ni Hibiku Shoujo-tachi no Metafalica (Duh), Estellise Sidos Heurassein from Tales of Vesperia, Viese Blanchimont from Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny, Mercedes from Odin Sphere, Amagi Yukiko from Persona 4, Micaiah from Fire Emblem, and Flonne from the Disgaea Series! Of course, there is tha Ralts evolution line on top of the text, but they were mostly accessories for my screen name. XD

Hope you guys like it...

1 Hour Before History Final...

Yes, I have one hour before my history final and I really should be looking over my terms. XD

Anywho, I have some good news and bad news! Mostly good though... I think. ZOMG RESIDENT EVIL 5 IS CO-OP! *excited* I never thought I would like Resident Evil until I watched it... It's actually a lot of fun to watch, I really need to try to play Resident Evil 4 before 5 comes out now. Darn you Jonathan for getting me into Resident Evil! Oh well, hopefully this will have me get over my fears of horror movies.

Persona 4 is coming out this week. That is all.

I got my Player's Bibles for Atelier Iris 2 and Ar tonelico II, I'll take pictures of them later~

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY UNDUB AND IMPORT GAMES AFTER MY WINTER BREAK! Well, for PS2 at least. One of my awesome hallmates might be able to give me the ability to do this, and I'm SOOO excited. Legendia in Japanese? Hells yeah. Persona in Japanese? Awesomeness.

Anywho, bad news. I have just found out that the DSi is going to be region-locked. Really Nintendo? Why would you do this to me? :[

Anywho, I really should be studying now! *waves*

Random Post!

Yay! I'm finished with my term papers! AND IT'S ALMOST THANKSGIVING I'M SO EXCITED! Hopefully I'll be able to beat Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World soon so Aya-chin can spoil me to death! Disgaea and Persona 3 too. I'm so excited about Persona 4 right now, it's ridiculous.

I'm still disappointed that Chie got a horrible voice... Oh well, I'll get used to it. She was Horie Yui too... :[

Koshimizu Ami and Kugimiya Rie are both in it as well! And guess what? Marta and Rise's seiyuu are both Kugimiya Rie, and their English VAs are both Laura Bailey! *gasp*

Although, I do kind of think that Kugimiya Rie's voice doesn't fit Rise very well... I think Laura's is slightly better. *gasp*

What's my Arcana?

You Scored as XIII: Death

Death is probably the most well known Tarot card - and also the most misunderstood. Most Tarot novices would consider Death to be a bad card, especially given its connection with the number thirteen. In fact this card rarely indicates literal death.Without "death" there can be no change, only eventual stagnation. The "death" of the child allows for the "birth" of the adult. This change is not always easy. The appearance of Death in a Tarot reading can indicate pain and short term loss, however it also represents hope for a new future.

You can take the quiz: HERE.

I also tied with Empress! But I'm not female so that didn't work out very well. XD

I've Bought Too Many Games...

In the past couple of months... It's ridiculous! Oh well, I'll go over the ones I've gotten...

PS2:

I always hear a lot of good stuff about Disgaea... And after I tried Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, I had to get the second one... Don't ask why. It was the first game I bought online with my recently acquired uber online purchasing powers...

I've always wanted to try this too... Connie-sama has it, and said she would let me borrow it, but I don't see her nearly enough to even begin to borrow it... And considering my current backlog, I'm not even sure when I'll ever get to play Radiata Stories. XD

I'm bad, I know.

YAY! PERSONA 3! I've actually wanted to play this game for a while... It's love so far... I really like it. I actually already am sold on the series... I know, I'm crazy.

I've always heard good things about Okami... Then I heard directly from Aya-chin that it was good. So I thought, what the heck, I'll just get it and try it out! :D

Wow, Guilty Gear. I never thought I would get this game. But after hearing about it from a lot of online friends, I thought, I have to see this. Actually the only reason it was mentioned was because a lot of them thought Chroche was Bridget... Which she most certainly is NOT. But, it's an interesting fighting game nontheless.

PSP:

Wooo~ Star Ocean! IN 2-D! The game was made RIGHT after Tales of Phantasia by the same team. The team quit because Namdai made some changes they didn't like, blah blah blah. I already explained this in my Infinite Undiscovery post... Since Tri-Ace is the one who made the Star Ocean series, and they were branched directly from the original creators of Tales of Phantasia. Anywho, I can't wait to try this game! Although my PSP is dead... So I can't... Hopefully I can get it back soon... T__T

I've heard a lot of good things about this SRPG. Domination said it was good, so I'm assuming he is! He and I have similar tastes anyway. And I generally do like SRPGs... So, yeah. I could have tried it if my PSP wasn't dead... T__T

XBOX 360:

Had to re-buy it because my other disc got killed... Sadly... T__T

Wheeeeee~ The first Sonic game I bought since Sonic Adventure 2: Battle! I heard bad things about this game... But I might like it just because of Silver and his telekinesis! I'm sure I'll enjoy that part of the game. XD Hopefully I like it... If I like it, I'll probably get Sonic Unleashed. Curse you Aya-chin and Starry-chan for making me want to try more Sonic games! *blames them*

Yep, that's all of them... I think! I'll post future releases that I've already preordered...

Yay Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World! I actually refuse to call it Tales of Symphonia 2 now, because I realized that if they really wanted to call it Tales of Symphonia 2, they would have. Like with Tales of Destiny 2. Hopefully they'll eventually make a Tales of Symphonia 2! With a different cast? Maybe? :D I still want a Tales of Vesperia: Flynn side in a way though... :D

Persona 4! Yes, I've put Persona 3 and 4 on the same post... Meaning, I've preordered 4 and I'm playing 3. I'm so insane. This is why my backlog is sooooo huge. :[ I'm kind of sad that P4 won't have Japanese Voices though, because Horie Yui, Koshimizu Ami, and Kugimiya Rie are all in it! D:

Yep, Kingdom Hearts: RE-Chain of Memories! I'm kind of excited about it actually. I never thought that I would be able to play this in English... I already beat the GBA version, but playing it again in 3-D should be fun! :D

Surprise! I actually preordered this... Now Thunder-kun won't have to tell me if it's good enough or not! XD I'm not sure whether I should call it Poison Pink or Eternal Poison... But I think I'll go with Poison Pink for now, because that's it's original name. I hope it's goood~ It's another SRPG! XD

Last but not least, my most look-forward to game for like ever (Besides Tales of Vesperia). I preordered it on Rosenqueen and I hope it gets here ASAP! Because, I really, really, really, really want to play it. CHROCHE-SAMA FTW! *ignores English names* *shudders at Jakuri's English name, "Jacqli" and Gengorou's English name "Goro"* I hope the release will be fine... I'm worried about the JP voices and the translation... But hopefully NISA will pull through as they usually do... Although they've recently taken a liking to changing names and stuff... It's all very disappointing...

Anywho, the only huge English Boxart for AT2 out right now is on Amazon, and I couldn't save it to show you guys... So sorry! I like the Japanese one better anyway...

Anywho! The next game I was going to post was Star Ocean: Second Evolution, but I haven't pre-ordered that yet... I will eventually though, probably. Along with Star Ocean: The Last Hope. You know... I probably should play and beat one of these before I buy more... Because, what if I hate it? I guess I think that since it's by the people that made Tales of Phantasia, that I'll like it... Who knows? I never actually beat Phantasia myself... But I do like the game and the concepts... Oh well! If ONLY they released Tales of Phantasia: Full Voice Edition here. *shakes fist at Nintendo*

OH YEAH! AND THERE'S TALES OF HEARTS! *wants anime version* However, I don't think I'll be getting that just yet...

And wow, that's a lot more games than I expected... Lots of money... Wow... I'm a horrible person. XD This is what happens when I have too much power... I mean seriously, online purchasing powers are unlimited! Unless you have no money of course... And I technically don't... Err... Thank you Financial Aid! :D

And this post took me a LOT longer than I expected!

What is my Japanese name? D:

My authentic japanese name is 松尾 Matsuo (tail of a pine tree) 大輝 Taiki (large radiance).
Take your real japanese name generator! today!
Created with Rum and Monkey's Name Generator Generator.

Apparently, I am Matsuo Taiki... I should have used this name in Persona! XD

Just kidding.

Addicted to Persona 3

Yup... I'm hooked. But I loves it so far~ I can't wait to play more. Ehehehe.

RE: Chain of Memories

Click the picture. That is all.

Thanks for bunnywisk/Meleiyu for letting me (and all of Tales Brigade) know! Too bad it's not Final Mix though. Seems that Squeenix is still open to releasing PS2 titles...

WAIT A SECOND! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THIS, AR TONELICO II, AND P4 (well, maybe not P4, I need to play Persona 3 first... Anyone want to get me a copy? >.>;)?! D:
