Though I heard Kunihiko Tanaka is one of the character designers, and I guess that shows - many of the portraits of the villagers are similar to his portraits for Xenogears, and I'm pretty sure Dunban and Fiora are his - Dunban just looks like an Uzuki (beard notwithstanding), while Fiora doesn't just have Elly's hair, her facial structure is also very similar. Also, I don't know about you, when Alvis first appeared, my brother and I were both like "What the hell is chaos doing in this game?"

I also love the stylistic and thematic similarities to Xenogears and Xenosaga. Dunban is Citan/Jin, Fiora looks like Elly at first, later on she bears a striking resemblance to KOS-MOS (who was already similar to Elly), Riki is Chu-chu, but much more likable and useful, the events at the beginning reallly remind me to the destruction of Lahan, what happens to the High Entia is also very similar to what happened on Disc 2, it's just this time it's not only scary, but also really heartbreaking if you look at the affinity chart... All in all, I love how completely new this game is, while still retaining these stylistic influences from the previous games

I totally know what you mean. It's like you really feel this world is alive and want to stay there. And you really get attached to the characters. I mean, there's just so many things this game does right...

Bionis' Interior is the last area I've been to (as in, the second visit, after the Zanza stuff), since around the end here I accidentally deleted my save file. But at least I have a reason to replay this wonderful game I cannot remember the last time I was so engrossed in a game and all of its side quests, and though there are so many of them, I never seem to get bored of them. I think I can safely say that this is the best game I have ever played in my life. As for the favourite are - I just love the Makna Woods. It's like you said - they're all pretty awesome - it was a toss up between this, the Bionis' Leg, Satorl Marsh and Mechonis Field, for me - though Makna just has something that makes me want to always come back there and enjoy the view.

How's Xenoblade coming along? Last I hear, you were nearing the end. I wanted to ask you what your favourite area was, 'cause there's so many gorgeous places there.

Played through Suikoden for the first time not long ago (and loved it). I'll be playing Suikoden II for the first time soon. =D

Haha thank you again! I feel bad, last time I talked to you was exactly a year ago.

My feelings exactly. When looking at the game clock I could not believe I had already been playing for that long. Time just flies so fast when you play this game, there's just so much to do. Normally, I feel too many quests derail the main storyline, but here it's so well paced and you just get so involved in the quests it's just jaw-dropping.
