not too sure how much EBgames charges this for a new copy, but i think this is the 1st time BB had a price drop on this game... last time it was at $50 "on sale"...

That is if you can find it in stock at FS. I was at one the other day looking for this game, and couldn't find it - then happened to be near another FS location later, so I stopped in and it wasn't there either. Easier to pay the extra $2 at BB (for me at least).

heh, i guess it depends on the location and whether or not it's high-demand in that area...

at both FS/BB that i've been to in the past mth, i've seen at least 1 copy on the shelves...

How is it old school when it came out just months ago?

Old school flavour, its a RPG system tried and true...ENiX style!

If you've played any of the old ones and liked them back then....you'll defeinitely love this one! Also, i would say the voice acting in this is one of the best!
I've clocked 127hrs finishing this, ignoring most of the mini-games and extra quests; couldn't be bothered with those.

For those who do not care about content/quality of story-telling and just love watching the pretty graphics/light shows, or like to complain about everything and lack a sense of adventure....don't buy this game, mostly likely it's not for you.

I can vouch for the 90+ hours of gameplay, I probably clocked around that but that's only if you decide to do the sidequests and stuff otherwise I think you can finish it in about 40 hours.

This game is AWESOME and was easily worth double the price a few months ago for me. Great, simple old school RPG with beautiful graphics, good challenge, very playable.

By 'old school', we mean simple, back to basics RPGing with no BS, no fairyish costumes, etc.

Still early in the game, haven't had the time to devote to it but I'd recommend it to any fan of good RPGs.
it's always been a "must buy" for me... but i was lookin for a good price drop...

$30 is good, but i'm waiting for it to go down to $20-$25 range... ;)

How is it old school when it came out just months ago?

^lol... guess there's a diff. meaning to "old school" then what u interpreted as ... :P

u were thinkin "old school" = OLD... lol . not quite...

it's an alright deal... I wish I was more of an RPG fan

I just have a question though...
How does PMing with FS and BB work??? I can never get them to PM each other... they always give me that excuse about being from the same parent company and that they don't PM each other...

Makes me want to hit up my local zellers, and just PM it there. (save me the trouble and the gas of going allllll the way to either FS or BB) Especially since for the last few months zellers has only had 1 copy of it sitting sideways on their shelves. I don't think people buy games EVER from my local zellers :P

The problem is, i really don't want to spend the money, since i don't plan to start playing the game anytime soon (have too many others to play). Then again, that price is too good to pass up!

if u wait a few mths... maybe ~1/2 yr, this game will prbly drop to $20-25 range...

^ that IS sort of an "excuse" but it's true....

BUT it's not a valid point to reject 100% PM, ... let alone 110% PM.

next time, just ask if u can buy something at FS and return something at BB, pay w/ FS GCs at BB, etc etc. (i'm sure u get the idea ;) )
^ the answers to those are an obvious no....
