Now THIS is my kind of question! I assume you all know at least on some level that memory is divided into bytes, each byte being composed of 8 bits, and each bit having a value of either 1 or 0 (or true/false, on/off, whatever). So, when you have to store a small number, you just use 1 byte, that gives you a range of 0-255 (2^8=256). That's why you see the number 255 in so many cart based games. Anyway, when you need a bigger number, you just cement two bytes together, and you can go all the way up to 2^16. Subtract one from that (so you can use 0) and you get 65535. Now then, which is the most disturbing? The fact that 8-bit systems have so little memory that only 2 bytes can be given to money and EXP, the fact that Junt noticed the maximums are the same in all those games, or the fact that I didn't have to do any researching to answer this question? 8)

Definately Japanese. It's just a really good sounding language to me for some reason. Plus the Japanese voice range is... different. I've heard good examples of all 4 though. The only random language song I can think of though is Vandal Hearts. Seriously, is that just random hodgepodged european or what?

It's not that you have a couple hours to finish the whole game. It's that you have a couple hours to perform each little task in the game. I find solving puzzles with time limits is more fun anyway. My only complain is that I seem to recall hearing that it doesn't have every mask from the last one. I want to see what kind of puzzles have to be solved by becoming undead! I want the ability to turn into a red haired girl with two kopeshs! I'm a Ranma fan, what can I say? As for PD, yes, it's quite spiffy.

Well hey, I seem to recall hearing that he originally planned to retire after helping out a little with Chrono Trigger. I mean, the guy has done a LOT. You can't squeeze masterpieces out of a person forever you know. You have an interesting point about the sci-fi thing I suppose... although that doesn't explain the overworld theme from FF7. I really didn't care for that.

Hey, I have no problem printing weird stuff instead of questions. I just prefer questions because, you know, answering questions is kind of my job. Anyway, Squaresoft did not "send over" Secret of Evermore. That game was made right here in the US of A. Actually, I believe that it can be said that Secret of Evermore was really the first game by Crave (remember? The company formed by a bunch of Square's US employees breaking off?). As for why we didn't get SD3, well, it was one of the later SNES games, it was a big cart, and to my understanding, it was so text heavy that a translation would push it over the maximum cart size. Kanji are a heck of a lot more space efficient than our alphabet you see.

The answer to the first is as long as it takes for someone to stab someone else in the ribs and tell them to move it. Normally we move them right when the game comes out, but occassionally someone forgets. Actually, someone just went in and double checked all that stuff, so it's in the right place now. As for why we have no review, well, that's because it's a lot more than 10 hours, pretty tough, and our policy is never to review games we haven't won. 30 hours is probably a better estimate, depending on how good you are at actually damaging bosses. Personally I'm at about 12 hours/37%. Gotta love games with completion percentages... and plus games.

It's 4 AM. You should get some sleep and put the quickies in tomorrow.
