The first one
|
Hi.
What would be your favourite RPG of all time? Personally, I like FF7 and
FF8.Do you know of any good RPGs comong out in the near future for
GameCube? Is it just me or does Pikmin look like one of the coolest games to
come out in a long time? One more thing. When are some damn RPGs going to come
out for GBA?!?!

My first letter. *wipes tear from his eye*
Truthfully I don't know, but the RPG I played the most and enjoyed the most would either be Crono Trigger or Dragon Warrior 3
Well PSO v2, even though it will be offline. It will still be cool, it's one of the few multiplayer console RPGs. Do you mean for just the GBA? If so we consider Castlevania: Circle of the Moon one, and it's a good one. Also you can go buy Dragon Warrior 3 Color, although not for the GBA it can still play it.

Hallo.
How are you?
That's nice...
|
|
TRC:
But... but..... I didn't say anything yet. I am having fun with Q&A, lots of love.
|
Hey, dude-o... I'm just curious about something. Most staffers, I have noticed, were fans of the site before their big leap to job-holding residents. Well, in that case, what were you a fan of? What sections kept you coming back? Ever submit a fanfic? A heavy metal midi of Aeris' Theme? A Poll idea?
|
|
TRC:
Heavy metal Aeris theme? *snicker*
That could work....
No I am a fan of the Editorials Secition. I even sent in a couple of eds. Then I started to hang in #edscorner, meet some staffers, and the rest ,as they say, is history.
|
Just trying to get a clearer picture of the staff horde. ^_^
|
|
TRC:
Staff horde? I would say more staff swarm.... but then I've said too much.
|
tuinte. A lonely tuinte.
PS - Do you love the monkey?
|
|
TRC:
Who doesn't?
|
| |
|
No more Swallows
|
First off, what is the relationship between an allusion & an illusion?
|
|
TuRCey
WHAT? No dear turkey? Since you asked an allusion is an indirect reference, illusion is a false concept or belief.
|
Second, what is, in your opinion, the most underappreciated RPG in the US? (BESIDES Xenogears. Come on, I knew you'd say that...)
|
|
TRC
Robotrek for the SNES was a cool game not many people mention. I love building my own robot.
|
Third, what is the maximum air velocity of an unladen swallow?
|
|
TRC:
Is it alive or dead?
|
Fourth, do you know what KoDT stands for? Bonus points if you can quote something from it
|
|
TRC:
Thanks for giving me something to work with, is it book, movie or mineral?
|
Fifth, is it true that in the Japanese version of FF4 (FF2 in the US), you can see a nude picture of Rosa in Cecil's room? I heard you could and was interested in finding out. (Just curious, you know, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing at all...)
|
|
TRC:
There is/was an item in the game called porno book, but if you believe you can see a nude Rosa in the game, I've got some nice beach front property in North Dakota I would be willing to sell for cheap.
|
Sixth, what do you think are the two game genres most closely related to RPGs?
|
|
TRC:
Really it depends one how you define RPGs. Instead of defining RPGS though, I skirt the issue. I say stratergy and simulation.
|
Seventh, could you try asking the powers that be of RPGamer to please write a couple small summaries of the series kept in the Games section? Just for those of us that don't know what the heck the "Arc the Lad" series is all about.
|
|
TRC:
All or most of the games listed on RPGamer have summaries, you may need to click on the link itself, but it is there.
|
Finally, status ailments in games: What could actually be done to make players WANT to use these against enemies? (I poison and slow my enemies all the time... yeah, right.)
|
|
TRC:
The reason no one uses them is because in most RPGs the only battles you really need that kind of help is in boss battles and unfortantely those magics usually don't work against bosses. If they made it so you can get it to work on bosses, then more people would use them.

How come video game RPGs NEVER have any traps set? You'd think the monsters would be smart enough to set pit traps, at least
|
|
TRC:
I know for a fact some monsters use traps. When you go after Kandar in Dragon Warrior 3, he opens a pit under you. I am sure there are other examples of that. It would make the game more challanging if players had to look out for traps, which is why I don't see that happening.

My boss says hi
|
Here's a fun one for ya ;)
Everyone always seems interested in my job when I do Q&A, so tell me
this:
1. What do you find the most fun/easiest about
a. Doing New Media
b. Working for RPGamer
c. Doing Q&A
2. What do you find the most unfun/hardest about
a. Doing New Media
b. Working for RPGamer
c. Doing Q&A
-Paws =^^=
|
|
TRC:
1A. Nothing really, I mean it's more grunt work then anything, although surfing Japanese sites to get Media before everyone else has a sorta "I'm better then others" feel to it
1B. Working for RPGamer is cool, since you get to meet all the people behind the place.
1C. Since this is my first true shot at Q&A, I'm not sure what to say, except I like getting all the email.
2A. it's very very very time consuming, the average update takes 2 hours total to do, from downloading and uploading the media and making the pages.
2B. Nothing really. Except waiting to get FTP access, which wasn't fun.
2C. Lot's of writing, lots and lots of writing, and trying to be funny isn't easy, obviously.

I ate Final Fantasy
|
I would like to know why they keep using the overly used tittle Final Fantasy if they are in almost no way (story & charaters) related? Since most people will buy Squaresoft games just because its made by squaresoft why don't they just start anew? Not that I am tired of Bauhmat, black & white mages, and all that. I guess xenogears and chrono trigger just got me wondering.
Ps I hated that movie (alot) also hated ff8, ff2, and that stupid card game Ugh!!
|
|
TRC:
Okay first off, please spell check and grammer check your letters.
The Final Fantasy games aren't sequential at all. They just used continued themes. All Square has to do is to slap the Final Fantasy name on anything and watch it sell. Beyond that it frees them up from explaining just where everyone went and how what happened happened. Which is good to an extent, I like the fact that moogles and chocobos show up in multiple games.
Second, try to be more coherent with what you mean. How did Xenogears and Chrono Trigger get you wondering?
I have yet to see the movie, so I can't comment on that. I loved Final Fantasy 4 and sorta liked Final Fantasy 2j. Final Fantasy 8 is a whole other thing, I thought it was a great game, but lots of people didn't enjoy it because it was too different from previous Final Fantasys. Had it been called something else then most people wouldn't have a problem with it. Of course that's just my opinion . To steal from Dennis Miller, I could be wrong.

Hey there TRC,
I keep hearing what a great game Skies of Arcadia is. Now, I don't
have a Dreamcast, and I don't plan on getting one at this point.
Besides SoA, the only other game that interested me was Grandia II
(Grandia I was an *excellent* game!)... but of course Grandia II is on
its way to the PC now, as is Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete.
1. With Sega itself developing for other consoles now.. Do you think
there's any chance SoA will ever make its way to another platform?
(Even though I believe SoA was a third-party game...)
2. If Grandia II is coming out for PC, wouldn't it make sense to also
port Grandia I? ("Huh, I better not buy this game. Why, I haven't
even played its prequel!")
3. Does anybody know if there's been any word about what platform SoA2
will appear on?
-- DevNall

TRC:
The Dreamcast is only $80 right now, and I'm sure you could find SOA for cheap, so just sell some PSX games.
1. I doubt it, though the sequels will make it to other systems.
2. It's because Sony owns the rights to Grandia 1
3. The system is unannounced at this point.
