I think I've spoken enough about Amano I think, and well, I can't draw or paint worth anything. I think I've proven that. 8(

Lorelai:
Depends on what sort of drawing you want to do. If you want hands-on experience and live teachers, take a class at your local community college or something. If you want to learn more about computer art and design, you can do the aforementioned, or you can check out some artworks online and see if your favorite artists have tutorials set up on their webpages. Also, your local bookstore probably has some "how to" books that you can check out. (How to watercolor, how to draw comic book characters, example of hands, wrinkles, faces, etc.) You may have to make a couple trips, but usually you'll find something great!

Googleshng:
Well that doesn't help those of us who want to draw anime style. 8( Well, I guess it does.

Lorelai:
WOOHOO a Xenogears question!!! Ok, Shevat generators: Here's what I know. The third generator has a pretty powerful gear and a White Knight, and the fourth generator has a powerful gear and two white knights (dude, Fei should be fighting THIS one!) I assigned Elly the first one, Bart the second, Citan the third (someone with high agility or powerful attacks/healing) and Fei the fourth. I had no trouble...and I didn't even have all the best frames and equipment. You can also switch the order you fight the generator bosses in, i.e. fight the fourth one first. Oh, USE BOOSTER, since these fights are one-on-one. So try it out. As for the second part of your question...uh, there is only one fight per generator. and one boss at the very end that you don't need to worry about until you finish all 4 generators. ^_^

Googleshng:
I recall from that fight that it's best to use Citan on the guys on foot, Billy on the multiple white nights, Fei on the obvious one, and Elly on the one I left out. Also, there's a great shop in Shevat, but it's expensive. Actually, fan art updates are what I tend to look forward to also. Used to be Q&A, but, well, now I do Q&A so that doesn't work.

Lorelai:
Yahoo!!! Yep! Lorelai agrees with you on griffins! My griffin familiar, "Griffy," (ooh that's original) is my absolute fave, and he can kick Kewne's little behind any day! ^_^

Googleshng:
I'm not getting many chances to say anything today. I have no clue about your first question, sounds like an obscure freeware game, but probably isn't. I'm in the dark.

Lorelai:
ummm...well, I have a barebones version of my website at http://lorelai.artcorner.org ... but it's far from finished, has next to nothing on it yet, and I'm working on a redesign for it. ^_^ You can keep the URL in mind though, that's not changing anytime soon! Thanks for asking! And sorry I couldn't write back in a haiku!

Googleshng:
I think I've answered this often enough. 8)

Googleshng:
Well... I got the original Harvest Moon, but I haven't had any real desire to buy more of it. I considered the gameboy one until I heard they took out having kids, I won't pay for another until you can have kids, have them grow up, and have them help you! If you could play as a girl in said version though, that would be kind of messed up.

Lorelai:
Doh...nope, I don't own a gameboy. My brother does, though, and he seems to have gotten my sister hooked on Pokemon...but I don't count that as an RPG, really. A long time ago, a friend of mine eagerly showed me Final Fantasy..Legends, or something, on his GB. Other than that, I don't really know what to reccomend...besides Lufia: Ruins Chaser (Natsume) which I don't think is out yet. But I trust anything Lufia is good ^__^

Googleshng:
Crystalis is being rereleased. Crystalis rules.

Lorelai:
1. YES. It looks freakin' awesome.
2. I can't remember, its' been a while since I played CT...is there a particular REASON why you can't beat him? i.e. a devastating attack that he always does? a part in the puzzle you can't solve? Robo can't run fast enough with his electrical charge to open the door? ^_^
3. I think so. I gave a pretty extensive impression of BoF4 in RPGamer's E3 coverage. Check it out for my honest opinion ^_^
As for your FF5 question...which/what 2nd world are you talking about?? There are are so many...dimensions in that game. But as for classes...I had the most fun with Knight, Summoner, Archer, Dancer (woohoo!) and Mime. And the regular form, when you're strong enough, cuz then you can add 2 abilities, I believe.

Googleshng:
LoM looks funky, but I need cash. If you mean Mother Brain, just thrash it. I haven't been keeping up on the BoFs at all but I hear great things about it. Also, great class combos for FF5: Red Time Summon Mime, SShot 2 swords, Mime. Mime's totally totally rule you see. That's why they get capes.

Googleshng:
I see why this was ported to Game Boy now. It seems like a Game Boy kind of game. Anyway, like I said, I have nothing against Brad, so I don't condone name calling.

Googleshng:
OK, don't quote me on this, but I think it's basically the same, except you can play the Chocobo thing without a Pocket Station (which is how to get a ribbon if that's not in any other letters here, thanks), the textures look better, and the music is all midi. Not sure on that last one, but I'll take music over graphics any day. Oh, and this is the first time I ever used the subject of a letter as the title for it. 8)

Lorelai:
I guess it's pretty clear: Summer of 2000. ^_^ The reason why Working Designs is fickle is cuz they like to proofread everything and make sure the text, translation, EVERYTHING is flawless. So we don't get wacky translations and typos like...oh....Final Fantasy Tactics =P (don't read me wrong, I love the game...but...the translations was "off course!")

Googleshng:
EGM must be on the Happy Plant if they say it's out tomorrow. Vanguard Bandits will be out first, and that's the only straight fact I can give you except that it won't be until at least WD's latest estimate. My personal guess is maybe Christmas, but it'll be a darn good translation! 8)

Googleshng:
You know what's creepy? That means that Lorelai looks just like my cousin. Right down to the hair streaks. Freaky.

Googleshng:
Well, the deathblows you have out of gears correspond to the in gear ones, but other than that, there's not really any connection. So, once again, levels don't matter much, deathblows do.
