I'd say so. SoA is one of the best games I've ever played, you're going to need SOME new console once the PSX fades off into the sunset once WD finishes with it, and you can't buy a PSX2 even if you wanted to. On top of all that, Grandia 2 will be out soon.

Yes, I am REALLY enjoying SoA. The last time I enjoyed playing a game this much was Xenogears, and unlike Xenogears, SoA doesn't have slowly scrolling novels of text, a second disc which skips over stuff, and it's secondary machine assisted combat system is loved by all. As for the plot, well, it's not DEEP, rather clichéed in fact. However, it does have a large number of twists, and just really wonderful execution all around. Particularly during this one long scene where two of your characters are looking for the other two (and vice versa) in a very small town. So, on RPGamer's scale, I'd probably give it a 10 actually. As for your last question... you're just trying to bait me into quoting Flea aren't you.

I didn't say EVERYONE from AOL fits that description. A lot of people I know use it in fact. I just mentioned AOL because it's the ISP most of the above described losers use, largely due to certain features it has, like IPs you can't block out and no way of reporting problem users.

You know, a lot of people would be upset at the term "US anime", but by the technical definition, you COULD call it that, and yes, Japan doesn't have a TOTAL monopoly on decent animated shows, just near total (check the credits on a lot of those US ones). As for Lunar 2, it seems like it will be out within a week... and I still haven't gotten to FF9. Ack!

Googleshng:
Before I answer your question, let me just correct your error there. The Lunar series was not originally for the Saturn, it was for the Sega-CD, which in practical terms means they were for the Genesis. If they WERE for the Saturn, it'd be impossible to improve the graphics, because, as some people seem to forget, the Saturn is more powerful than the PSX, especially when it comes to 2D sprites. In simple terms, out of the N64, PSX, and Saturn, the PSX is half as powerful as the others, the N64 is great with polys but doesn't seem to like sprites, the Saturn is wonderful with 2D but has ugly polygonal graphics, and the PSX honestly sucks with both, but not as much. Thus we have balance. Now getting back on topic, Lunar 2, like the original, looks like a Genesis game with high quality anime cutscenes scattered through it. However, Lunar 2 looks like a much better Genesis came than the first did.

Googleshng:
Just to alleviate the confusion, that $180 DOES include the price of the DC itself, so that's a REALLY good deal... unless you already have a DC and a couple of those games like I do.
