Right...

Well, it seems the games I bought didn't turn out to be what I had expected.

First off, Eternal Poison. Seeing the word "Atlus" at the bottom right corner of the cover and reading about 5 tales in 1 immediately led me to think that this was gonna be another Odin Sphere. I loved Odin Sphere, so I bought this game in hopes of getting an exciting (and insanely hard) action RPG. But to my surprise, it turned out to be a gothic fantasy-themed tactical RPG. The graphics are good, and the voice acting is good (in a creepy way, being gothic and all) but it just wasn't what I expected. Oh well, let's just see how this compares to Disgaea or Final Fantasy Tactics.

Second is Tales of Legendia. I expected lower quality art since it's an older game and I was right. They still used the tiny characters instead of fully drawn characters during regular scenes. The anime scenes are still beautiful though. The voice acting is a little off. And the battle system is different. It's still real time action battles, but the battlefield seems 2D instead of 3D. Sigh... I hope it doesn't turn out bad. I was actually hoping to find Tales of Symphonia since I heard it's the best of the Tales series. Oh, and I noticed that the company's name was Namco. Wow... this game IS old. In case most of you didn't know, Namco no longer exists... alone. Now, everything they make is trademarked Bandai-Namco.

But I can't afford to get hokked onto these games. My cosplay is still barely halfway done. I haven't painted any weapons I've completed and I haven't even started on the armour, the broadsword and the scythe (especially the scythe!). Damn I'm late!
