Googleshng:
Many RPGs have things like that. Basically, the more you have, the more cool little things you can get once you reach a certain point in the game.

Googleshng:
That depends on your tastes. LoM is a non-linear highly customizable Action/RPG with cool special attacks you get by doing spiffy combos. LoD on the other hand is a textbook RPG with a lot of purdy FMV and cool special attacks you get by doing spiffy combos. They're both fun, so get whichever you're in the mood for. Also, LoM is a whole lot shorter, but has a LOT of replay value.

As for staying up until 1 AM to finish a column, I stay up until 2 doing them every night. Heck, not to long ago I stayed up until 5 one night.

Googleshng:
I know what you mean. For all intents and purposes, Shana has no attack command, so that healing spell is all she has. That requires 4 rounds of charging (although I'm told she always gets 1/4 of her Max SP, so that's 125 at level 5). All for a spell that heals your entire party. On the other hand, there's Rose, who is a pretty decent fighter, and her level 1 spell steals a LOT of HP from a monster and uses it to heal your entire party by quite a bit. Hopefully her other spells are less useless, don't forget defending ALSO heals you. Anyway, my personal plans for Shana are this: Once everyone has all their Additions maxed out, and are on DL5, THEN I'll get Shana up to DL5. I figure she might be kind of useful way later in the game, but for now, she rots in the corner. 8)

Googleshng:
Yes, I know All. He's a nice guy, has a lot of stuff too. Anyway, on to your real question, that song is in Swedish. Actually, Legend of Mana as a whole has a vaguely Swedish vibe to it. Largely from the drawing style.

Googleshng:
Bad time to be asking this question. Here I am juggling 3 new games, and there's 7 coming out this week. If you like TRPGs, there's Vanguard Bandits (Mecha and Working Designs), Rhapsody (Girly and song filled), and arguably Koudelka (Lovecraftian Horror in 1800s Wales). If you like Dungeon Crawls, there's Evolution 2 if you want something cheery, Vagrant Story if you want something dark, and Diablo 2 if you want something for PC. Want an FF7 clone? There's LoD. Want an Action/RPG? There's LoM. What a wonderful week this is to suddenly not be broke.

Googleshng:
It bothers me when people get mad at me for not printing letters that I didn't get until after I put the column up. Not sure if this is one of those. Anyway, yes, once you've accomplished certain tasks, primary and secondary materials can be used to make weapons, armor, musical instruments, and golems. Such tasks tend to be things like, say, find Watts. Also, in order to start getting pets, you have to do an event that takes place in the west end of Domina after you've played a while.

Googleshng is a cursed wretch of Jusenkyo. Splash Goog with cold water and s/he turns into a slime. Spring of Drowned Slime is very cursed!

Hey Goog,
Any idea why LoD claims to need 2 blocks of memory space on the box but is only taking one on my memory card?
Thanks
