I went into Gamestop to get this:

Because I lost mine like a year ago, which wasn't a big deal up until now because I haven't played my DS in a year. But I wanted to play that sweet looking Miami Law and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, so I went to get a replacement and ended up with:

I figured, it's not like I have anything better to do this summer than play JRPGs of questionable merit and post about it on the Internet.
Time to get my j-homo on. :tauntaun
To kick it off, I fired up Super Robot Taisen OG Saga - Endless Frontier. I figured between Monolith Soft's track and the OMGWTF title of the game, that it should be some crazy animu garbage, and I wasn't disappointed. I played for about 30 minutes, and already I have two huge-breasted chicks in my party, one is robot and the other one is a princess. :rock The overworld graphics look like a crappy SNES game, but the portrait art features lovely detailed boob art and more jiggle than I'm used to seeing on the DS. Also, the robot chick's special move makes some of her clothes fly off and she turns really slutty and starts coming onto the main guy. And KOS-MOS is in the game. I've only played it for 30 minutes, but so far it's better than Ar Tonelico and Mana Khemia combined. GOTY candidate, imo.
(P.S. I was listening to the Knights in the Knightmare OST while I was posting this. Kudos to Atlus for including soundtracks with most of their games, but does anyone actually listen to this crap? There's like 40 songs on this CD and they all sound pretty much exactly the same, I can't even tell when one song ends and another starts. And it all kinda sounds like having an opera walk up and beat you in the face.)

I heard that Ys port is absolutely horrible :-\

I am going to check out Knights in the Nightmare, but I am not expecting much. My DS plays second fiddle to PSP rpgs for the most part
-
I heard Miami Law is crap as well.

I heard that Ys port is absolutely horrible :-\
Is it a bad port as in they messed up a bunch of stuff from the originals, or bad port as in it's just not a very good game? I played it for a few minutes this morning, and so far it seems in line with my expectations. I've never played any other version of Ys I & II, but I played Ys VI, and this seems to have all the classic earmarks. Like grinding away at groups of monsters until get enough experiences or enough money to buy the next tier of equipment so you can survive the next area. The 3D graphics are a little meh, but they don't completely ruin it.
I'm glad they didn't force stylus controls this game. There is a stylus control mode, but it's optional.

:lol
Since everyone seems to agree that Miami Law will probably suck, I'll probably just wait until it hits $10-15 and get Suikoden next instead. I didn't even realize it was out until I saw it at Best Buy today. I love me some Suikoden. :heartbeat
Gonna pop in some Knights in the Nightmare first, though.
