Where oh where?

Greetings Googlesng!
I probably already know the answer to this, but I'm
going to ask
anyway.
Why doesn't RPGamer have a walkthrough for Golden Sun
yet? The game
has been out for over a month now and I'm still
waiting. The delay wouldn't have gotten my attention
were it not for the fact that there's already one for
FFX, which has only been out for 2 days.
neko-chan
P.S. My spell checker doesn't seem to like the word
"Googleshng", but
you probably already knew that.

|
Cyrael:
I have no idea why there is no walkthrough on
the site since I am not a staffer here. But if I was,
I'd be sure to find out!
Googleshng:
A lot of today's mail is stuff sent in last week when Cyrael here disappeared. I'm almost positive we
at least one around now... and I'm fairly sure we had it last week too.

Silliness
|
Dear he/she/it/whatever:
I have it! I finally figured out Goog's secret
identity! You're Dick Saucer from Dragon Half! To
make sure nobody ever suspected your true identity,
you associated yourself with the dragons who secretly
run RPGamer, because nobody would ever suspect a
dragon slayer would collude with dragons, right? And
the whole slime thing is just a plot to deflect the
suspicious onto the oh-so-convenient "slime half" that
we all know and hate. You sly mink you.

Cyrael:
Wow, I thought the whole 'what gender is
goog' thing dies out ages ago... It appears I am mistaken.
Googleshng:
I thought we were going for species now?

Okay, as per usual, some questions:
1) Why, with the recent glut of remakes/rereleases,
has everyone
seemingly overlooked that one of RPG-land's games with
the most zealous fanbase has
been confirmed for a remake? In case you forgot,
Monolith Soft has said that as part of the Xeno
series, they will be redoing Episode 5, AKA
Xenogears...
|
|
Cyrael:
Heh, When I was guest host in April of last
year I said that I had yet to beat Xeongears. That
statement still holds true.
Googleshng:
I remembered. I don't expect to see a remake anytime remotely soon though.
|
2) Prediction time: what will win best RPG of the
year? Also: what
should win best RPG of the year?
|
|
Cyrael:
As for best RPG of the
year? I would say either Golden Sun or FFX would win
that one. I don't know which one should win
best of the year, since I haven't played them all yet,
but I can tell you which one shouldn't. The Everquest
Trilogy. It's just a bulk package of games from other
years... No changes made (aside from patches, but
those don't count in my book).
Googleshng:
FF10 will win everything it can, and my memory is too lousy with dates to recall everything released
this year.
|
3) Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
and Final
Fantasy X in one day (not necessarily in that
order)...Okay, so I got FFX on the
18th, but still. Your thoughts on this wonderful
convergence of great things?
Bart, leaving off his usual nonsense question 4
|
|
Cyrael:
And finally, I liked
the movie a lot, and have only clocked 20 minutes of
FFX on a friends PS2, so I can't really see the
greatness that you do.
Googleshng:
Movie good. FF10 too expensive to go near. That and the Boy Who Cried Wolf Factor...
|
P.S. Imperial Mog's monks have been kidnapped by
ninjas. Are you a bad
enough dude to rescue the monks? Do you really even
care, or do you like his
guest singers?
|
|
Googleshng:
I'm not a paricularly bad dude at all I don't think...
|

Oddness

Hello O Goog and Cyrael, who shall be guest hosting
yet again.
Don't you think that the blitzball team Tidus heads in
FFX is almost
like the
Bad News Bears? This is supposing that you've seen
one of the best
movies to
date. Well, that's all for now.

|
Cyrael:
Well, I don't think that. Enough said.
Googleshng:
See? As I predicted, as good a job as could be expected was done with yon Fellowship of the Ring movie,
yet people still get upset.

hi, my name i shun and i have a question about FFX
INTERNATIONAL. my question is about the voices. is it
going to be all in english voices? or will you be able
to listen to both the enlish and japanese voices?
please verify this for me. thank you. (^J^)
|
|
Cyrael:
From what I have read on it, FFX
International will be all in the english voices.
Kinda dissapointing for me at least.
Googleshng:
I'll go along with that.

A gameplay question
|
Hello Google and Cyrael!
In DW7, I've been stuck for 2 hours now in Mardra: how
can I open the treasure chest in the castle (lower
right spire) (past and present) and how can I get to
the stairs surrounded by water in the great fane (past
and present too) ?
I really don't get it... please help me!
Oh, and thanks a lot!
Mister Art
|
|
Cyrael:
Oh my, my painkillers are wearing off,
preventing me from answering this for you. Accept my
most sincere apologies...
Googleshng:
All three require you to walk around in the same particular pattern. Ask around and someone says what
it is.

Shopping

Hello, Googleshng,
Considering it's nearing the end of the year, I
decided to email you, before I procrastinated and
forgot and nodded off in...*snore*
Anyway.
1) Being that the new FF10 is out now, should I get
that? Or Grand Theft Auto 3?
|
|
Cyrael:
I would get FFX over GTA3 any day... I don't
find any entertainment in picking up hookers, shooting
police or stealing cars.
Googleshng:
None at all?
|
2) Should I get a PlayStation2 to play my new (insert
answer to #1)
|
|
Cyrael:
For your second question, I
would suggest getting yourself a PS2 for playing your
game... Since you can't get play if you don't have the
system.
Googleshng:
FF10: 4 small frisbees for $50!
|
3) I'm also thinking that a new game for my Dreamcast
would also sound nice. Got any in mind?
|
|
Cyrael:
For Dreamcast I just bought myself Soul
Calibur. I like it (as have countless others in the
past few years too).
Googleshng:
Shenmue 2 is worth a purchase.
|
4) Would you consider giving me a guest spot for an
old NES version of Castlevania? :P
As always, happy holidays, and good wishes.
-lb
|
|
Cyrael:
And I already had my spot taken,
sooooooooo.... ask the next host.
Googleshng:
I had mine taken too. Ask then next next one.

Icky ol' cloud

Hello oh Goog and guest host Cyrael.
In yesterday's collumn,you stated that unless someone
gave you $500
and a copy of FFX, you couldn't answer questions about
it. My question is,
are you in Canada? I ask this because here in the
states a PS2 will only set you back a cool $300,
whiile it's $500 in good ol' Canada because of a
differing currencey system. I'd gladly give you the
money, but I already spent it on Thor. I guess I need
a real question, huh? In DW7, how do I defeat the
Hell Cloud in the temple of the wind? I've tried
everything but the thing keeps making little clouds
and kills me.
Thanks for your help

Cyrael:
That dragon of blood must be inside my mouth
right now. Relentless pain... Gah...
Googleshng:
I'm not in Canada. PS2- $300. Shadow Hearts- $50. Tsugunai- $50. FF10- $50. Then tax too. Anyway, as
for our happy little cloud friend, stopspell helps a ton in there, summon is GREAT if you have it, and
the rest you should be able to figure out on your own.

Greetings (you sing) Googleshng
I wonder what is it that makes Hoshigami a challenge?
I could use
a challenge since many games are rather easy.
Imperial Mog
|
|
Cyrael:
Hoshigami has yet to be purchased by myself,
but a few of my friends said some of the battles were
horribly unbalanced.
Googleshng:
No, it's BALANCED beautifully. It's just that there's 13 on 7 fights where they have superior positions,
you can't bring back the dead, and one character can kill another of the same level in a single turn.
Nothing a good ammount of character building and/or careful planning won't help though honestly...

If I hadn't just had expensive surgery
myself, I would have given. Come next payday though,
I'll add my own little bit to the fund.
Googleshng:
Had more impact last week this one.
