Retro Replay (March) Winner: Grandia

[Ges]

So the Pokemon Retro Replay was kind of a dud. I blame that on everybody playing new stuff like Dark Souls and Skyrim and the like, so hopefully by the time January hits we'll be finishing up our current games and still have a lull before ME3 and FFXIII-2 hit.

So, upcoming in January, which game do you think we should do a Retro Replay for?

Myself? I'm going to nominate Chrono Cross.

I think we should go further back and possible try and shoot for Shining Force for the Sega Genesis. It's readily available because it's on the Sonic's Genesis ultimate collection for PS3/360 and it's also on the virtual console. I believe it may have come out to the iOS too.

If you have the very good GBA port, that could be good too.

Okay doing this for March. Sooo... we'll start with those above:

- Chrono Cross
- Shining Force

Plus a few popular choices:

- Final Fantasy VIII
- Final Fantasy VI
- Chrono Trigger

Plus I'm going to throw in the super old (almost 5 years even!) Tales of Vesperia, since I heard some folks wanting to re-visit it (Cyrus?)

[CoolOtaku]

How about Final Fantasy V? It was just released on PSN as a free download for PlayStation Plus members.

Wont fly for me, I am way too addicted to Skyrim.

I'll elect a game that I've been meaning to play and never pull the trigger on. Alundra on the Playstation. It's available on the PSN and seems like a neat Zelda type game that probably doesn't take all that much time to complete.

I played this awhile back but never finished. It was fun, but the some of the puzzles got frustrating after awhile. Maybe not the best choice due to the..."I give up!" factor.

[Phakiel]

Is Alundra the one with the skunk?

[moogle]

I don't remember any skunks, so probably not.

[Phakiel]

Oh nevermind I was thinking about Klonoa.

[moogle]

I fucking love Klonoa.

And actually he's a cat.

[Cyrus the virus]

Vesperia wasn't my suggestion even though it's a lovely game.

Grandia? It's on PSN. Hm.

I tend to enjoy nominating the older choices. Robotrek for SNES!

[Phakiel]

Hmm, Grandia sounds actually pretty great.

[Ges]

Okay, 1 more day of nomming and then we'll put it to the vote.

EVERYONE ON THE VOTE BOAT
