In Koudelka, whine one of those dolls can be found pretty early on, the other you won't see until somewhere near the end of the game. As for the gargoyle, no, you don't HAVE to kill it, but if you do, you get the best sword in the game. You also, you know, don't leave a horrific demon running around loose at the end of the game. If you do decide to kill it though, do it as soon as possible. The later in the game you fight it, the harder it is. On disc 4 it's worse than the last boss, and that's saying a LOT. Finally, in Vagrant Story, well, you have to properly balance monster type, weapon type, and element to do any noticable ammount of damage. Doing so is next to impossible since that's... 108 combinations, and you can only carry what? 8 weapons at a time? What's really sad is that I'm told the game isn't really that much harder if you just pay the whole game using 1 weapon. The balancing in that game is really just terrible.

Ah, someone who has played Phantasy Star. I never did beat Saccy no, but I'm told it doesn't change anything. Have to love the little hat-tip to that scene they stuck in 4... except of course for what it results in. My cousin still has my gameboy, and I'm holding out for a GBA. Letting him just keep the thing as a Christmas present. Is it not nifty you ask? Yes, it is nifty. By the way, I'd never seen that until this weekend. Read every single strip in the span of two days. Burp. Finally, I feel your pain on the loss of an SMS. Did you try looking for a new one on eBay?

Well, the day Lunar shipped out, from Chicago, a massive blizzard struck. A couple trucks got out and delivered their payload of goodness more or less on time. The rest didn't. So, Lunar 2's been slowly trickling in store by store. The one near me JUST got it in, so I should be finally getting it today. Everyone else, just keep watching your stores and mailboxes.

Well, I suppose that depends on which version of Santa you mean. The one in Secret of Mana is quite the wimp. One of the easier bosses. The one in the Chronicles of Narnia on the other hand is pretty darn cool! I mean, he gives out broadswords as presents! Then there's The Tick's Santa. He's kinda wimpy, but HE has Santa's Little Secret Service.

The Chocobo mini-game is pretty fun, not that long, and yields a ton of very very very nice equipment. Do it.
