I have become a Ganz/Rynka shipper, oddly enough. x_x

The Suikoden V trailer...there are no words. WANT SO BAD

Seriously, between the fact that they play Jowy's Theme from Suikoden II in the trailer, the return of characters like ( spoilers )

, characters that seem likable, and lots of angst and costume changes (the hero dresses like McDohl at one point), and this game is a must-get for me. (Like every other Suikoden game...damn you, Konami, for making such great games!)

Anyways, I've been playing more Radiata Stories as well. The big break in the game came up - at a certain point in the game you have to choose between two paths, the human and the nonhuman. ( Why this is SO HARD (with spoilers) )

Anyway, I suppose I'd better get back to multitasking on my homework. (I'm currently trying to play Radiata Stories while reading Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale"...IN MIDDLE ENGLISH. Actually, it's working out better than I thought it would. XD)

Radiata luv

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE THIS GAME?

Perhaps it's the fact that everybody seems to stalk Jack in an extremely uncomfortable manner for him - there's the fey knight who "likes cute people and strong warriors; put them together and he's in heaven" (direct quote); there's the fanboy professor at the Magic Institute who wants to write a book about Jack's exploit; there's the other magic professor who follows him around hoping he'll die so he can harvest his organs for research; there's the golem maker who's stalking him in order to make a golem that can defeat him; etc. etc.

Jack's not the only one being stalked, either: there's Felix, the feminine-looking magic academy student, who every male in the game thinks is a girl and hence stalks (apparently sometimes they steal his underwear as well); there's the trainee monk Edgar, who peers in at the head monk Fernando's room every afternoon and who joins you when you get Fernando's used belt for him to wear; etc. etc.

Also, I just regained access to Radiata Castle and so a few minutes ago I went into Ridley's abandoned room...and there was a weird ghostly figure standing there. Turns out it's an alien, who abducts Jack. XD The screen goes white, Motoi Sakuraba music starts playing, and Jack wakes up in his room dressed like Fayt from Star Ocean 3 (down to the blue hair). Then there's a crackling noise, a mysterious voice talks through the garbled communicator about the Undeveloped Planet Protection Pact, and tells Jack he can keep the Fayt outfit. <3 <3 <3 <3

So, in short: psycho stalker fanboys/fangirls and Star Ocean references are two of the many reasons I love this game so much. XD
