It’s funny. I never thought I would live to see the day where I looked at my collection of incredible imports and RPG rarities and simply not care. I remember when the high point of my PSX collection was bragging about my copies of Suikoden and/or Valkyrie Profile, but with age you come to accept the fact that if you’re not playing it, it isn’t worth keeping. Which is sad to say, because aside Valkyrie Profile, I haven’t finished either one of the PSOne Suikodens (which are apparently, the stronger ones). Either way, as much as I’ve been clearing out most of the junk and unplayed greats from my collection, I can’t seem to part myself from these three.
Which brings me to Valkyrie Profile Silmeria, which is looking spantacular (if that’s even a word). I wonder how Silmeria came into play though. For some reason, I get the impression that Square imposed its “milking abilities” all over Enix’s precious gem. I’m an Enix fanboy at heart, so if Silmeria sinks, I’ll be the first knocking at Squenix Japan’s door.
Although the plane ticket would be very costly. =S

I envy that you have so much time to play RPGs. I purchased Kingdom Hearts II and didn’t even start… that’s my problem: starting AND finishing them.

Be confident at least that Silmeria is very, very lovely for a PS2 game. I didn’t get to play it much because of the fat pig hogging the game in front of me at E3 for 45mins, who managed to kill off most of his characters in the process, so I couldn’t have the full experience. I think the main character looks a tad young, but obviously Square knows their demographic.
And for RPGs, Oblivion is the first I’ve played in a good, long while, and even that I’m creeping through at a fairly relaxed pace. With my jetset lifestyle, I need to hire someone to play these RPGs for me.

I’m surprised that you’re enjoying Oblivion, Aaron, I always took you as an “Eastern only” RPGer. Which needless to say, is how I am lately. =/
Chris: haha, the one I’m playing right now should take me a solid 100 hours if I play my cards right.
