There's tons of Eva games... in Japan. Mostly for the Saturn. I have not played Rhapsody. It isn't any good. That's why I haven't played it actually. 8) Persona doesn't seem to be on the shelves again yet, and the fact that you care frightens me a bit. From what I've heard, that new VHD PSX game is the standard example of a spiffy license being used for an unplayably bad action game. Finally, "new" Escaflowne tapes would be the hideously mangled Fox dub yes. Make sure all your Escaflowne comes in mindblastingly horrifying white clampshells.

OK, Seal Value is a measure of how much you're like Odin's little lapdog. If you want the "good" ending, you want to bring that down. Evaluation however is how much Odin likes you. Keep it high so he keeps giving you presents. PSO has 4 characters, you control one of them. The rest are either controlled by AI if you want to play solo, or 3 friends via a modem. Think of it like Secret of Mana. Finally, next month is going to be SICK.

Googleshng:
1) I don't see why not. 2) I don't remember much about OB1 except that the PSX version once glitched out and inverted all my alignments and my rep meter. 3) RAISING? No. I'm in an evil mood. 4) Yes.

Googleshng:
I can't think of a Mac equivolent of something like RPGMaker or Verge, but there IS Hypercard. Sure, it's not much, but it's really easy to get into, and it IS object oriented programming technically. I've made simple RPGs using it in a matter of days. I don't think the DC will drop prices too much to compete withe the PSX2, seeing as it's already half the price, and the average person can't even buy a PSX2 until spring. As for your third comment there, uh, that's what I've been saying for months.

Yo, goog,

So I'm playing LoD (sweet game) and I get to the Phantom Ship. I find this chest which has a 3-digit combo. I find the ghosts who give me four numbers. I figure, okay, I'll just go save and come back and if I don't get it, I can just try again with the same numbers. There's only 24 possible permutations of 4-pick-3, so that's 2.4 tries worst case. But it seems like it's smarter than that... I tried every combo for a given set and none of them opened it. Then I consulted the FAQs. One FAQ writer said I could do it my way, one said "get lucky and be patient." So I guess the question here is, do you or does anyone know for certain whether the combination resets every time you reload the game?

Thanks,

Googleshng:
Ah yes, the chest. Evidently, the combination changes: every time you check what it is with the ghosts, every time you try and fail, and every time you reset it. Furthermore, it seems the PSX keeps it's randomness values when you hit reset. However, if you absolutely insist on cheating, this should work. Save your game. Turn off the PSX. Now just turn it on, head straight for the chest, systematically try as many combos as you can. Turn the PSX off again, and repeat. If you try every possible combo like this, you will eventually get it. However, you'll probably get it faster if you play by the games own terms and hope for some luck. Most combos seem to go medium high low by the way it seems... unless that was just how it worked out for me.

Googleshng:
Wow. Evidently RPG Maker can handle 990 maps, and 12 characters, which is a decent ammount to cram into one memory card, and more than enough for anything you'd be likely to do. As for a DD, www.ebworld.com sells'em I'm told.
