    As for me, I expected that after 16 or so years he'd gotten over Rosa, but no... and I can't say I don't like it, because it keeps the sentimental tension that added so much to the first game in place.
    Yeah, I understand that view point as well. However, that's why I also like what they did. I was like, "C'mon, man! It's been almost two decades! Get over your inner conflicts! You can do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt!"

    I also became a huge dork and identified that scene with some stuff that has happened to me in real life, so that's probably another reason why I liked it.

    I'm all for Kain to stop angsting and stop pining over Rosa, but yeah... Almost two decades is a bit much to get over it.

    And then there's the whole part about him (SPOILER)ditching the Dragoons to become a Red Wing that made me rage the most. I've ranted so much on the subject to my friends, to my AIM contacts (even those who never played the game) and on my deviantART journal.

    WTF? I haven't gotten to that part yet. When does he do that? I only have played the first part of the game, up to the Holy Dragoon thing. I added you as a friend in LJ. Username's Spookje.

    I've decided to wait until all the chapters get released so I can purchase them all at once. I feel like I can enjoy the game better that way instead of completing a few chapters and then waiting for others to get released.

    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    At the end of the game. Just remembering about it makes me want to bang my head against the nearest wall.

    You can get Rydia's Tales as it also released at the same time as the main story.

    Well here I am barely finishing FFIVDS, I'm really slow. I think I'll also wait until all the chapters are released to play them all at once.

    From what I saw of the gameplay, all the menus/animations were very smooth and fast.

    Was I supposed to get Edward at the end of the first tale? Cus Wikipedia mentions him reuniting with Cid, Rosa, the Hooded Man, and Ceodore when (SPOILER)Kain defeats his dark side and becomes a Holy Dragoon.. There were also five characters that appeared when they saw Cecil right before the credits, even though I had only four people in my party.

    Also, found a wallpaper of The After Years on Wikipedia.

    ((Yeah Rydia, you don't look suggestive at all. XD))

    Nope, because Edward has his Story later on.
    Incidentally it's pissing me off that the new chapters seem not to be available yet in Germany.

    Then why are there five characters before Cecil, even though I have only four in my party?

    Also, for those doing Rydia's tale: Get the Tomahawk and the Dancing Dagger at the Kokkol Forge before you go to the Overworld. The Mythril Hammer and Bow 'n Arrows are the better weapons for Rydia and Luca until you get to the mines, and then the numbers next to the "attack" stats make the Tomahawk and Dancing Dagger the better weapons for them.

    Just a little bit of advice.

    Also, SAVE BEFORE YOU OPEN THE LAST CHEST IN THE MINES.

    I've recently downloaded all the available chapters and I have been catching up. All I have to say is...

    ***MINOR SPOILERS***

    The Mysterious Girl battle theme is f***ing awesome.

    My best friend and I just started playing the first chapter last night (yay for multiplayer!). We're HUGE FFIV dorks so we had a lot of expectations. So far . . . it's meeting all of them! It's so magical to be able to return to this same piece of my childhood all these years later and explore deeper into it!

    Awesome game so far!

    Hahaha, I had no idea that the game existed. How do I always manage to miss out on my favorite things ;_;
