My favorites....
Tifa Lockheart - as far as I'm concerned, Tifa, not Lara Croft, is the pin-up queen of the 5th gen.
Kitana (Mortal Kombat)
Bayonetta
Judith (Tales of Vesperia)
Ashe (Final Fantasy XII)
Cherry (Valkyria Chronicles)
Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Wars)
Never played this one. My experience with Star Ocean revolves around The Second Story and TTEOT. I'm a fan of Tri-Ace, however, mainly because of Valkyrie Profile and Resonance of Fate.
Soulcalibur looked pretty good on Dreamcast, but in Sept. 1999, I was more interested in Final Fantasy VIII on the PS1 I already owned, and I like SCII on Gamecube better. When I got my GC, the first game I bought was Skies of Arcadia Legends.
I recently saw a used game store selling the first four Sakura Wars games for the Dreamcast, and I'm really tempted to buy them. Sakura Wars on PS2 is one of my all time favorite games. I just wish I knew Japanese. :)
I'm more interested in the Cyberpunk game CDPR is working on myself. Might turn out to be smoke and mirrors, but we'll see.
You can add me. I'm not on Steam a great deal myself (what I mostly like from Steam are the Ys games).
At this point, people are so used to Konami's antics that MGS games are the worst-kept secrets in the business.
I'd recommend Final Fantasy X-2 for Cary. It's kind of silly, and the battle system is just like an old-school Final Fantasy battle system.
FFX is nice, and I will be getting the PS3 version, but I'd much rather have a remaster of Final Fantasy XII.
There are very few games which I will pay $60 for, and mostly these are either games that are sure to be scarce on down the road or special titles like Ni no Kuni that I have been waiting for for a long time. The rest of them can wait.
Just look at how Tecmo Koei handled Ayesha's US release. If it hadn't been for NISA and Tecmo Koei Europe, I'd have never known it was coming to the US.
