I just picked up this game a couple weeks ago. It was pretty cheap too. Hopefully I can find the time to play it soon.

Nice. You guys make some good points. This is a big change from the last time I made a comment on a blog about "women & race" in videogames. That was a 1-on-1 nightmare. I was almost afraid to leave my comment for fear of a backlash.
I'm all for women's rights, but sometimes some people want to impose too much. I mean, does this lady really want to change, Super Mario Bros. Mario saves the day. Period. Peach can save the day in her own game. And she does, but then this lady belittles the game for being on a handheld.
As for the Legend of Zelda, I have to admit, Zelda could be a playable character by now. The game is called, The Legend of Zelda and yet Link saves her. It should be called, The Legend of Link.
I never played a Fire Emblem game. I always read good things about them.
Maybe she'll cover that in the next vid.
I'll try to stay with her to the end, but I have a feeling where this is all going.
I've read some comments to her in the past. They are pretty bad. But, she does come across as if she's better. It's a bit insulting how she judges the people that enjoy the way things are.
I know the current trend is to "agree with the women", but this video pisses me off. There is material and facts she takes out of context to prove her point. And, she gets a bit judgemental in the last 4 min of the vid. She certainly picks on Nintendo a lot. It's not like they started the "save the girl" trend in videogames. They just used a simple story. "Saving the girl" is a basic story and you don't have to be a genius to follow it (hence for children [during the '80s]). I don't see the point in attacking it. It's a Super Mario Bros game. It's not like the story is going to win awards and I doubt it will ever change.
What also annoys me is that some people believe men & women are "equal". We are not. Men have their strengths and women have their strengths. I don't understand why people want to ignore that fact.
As for women's role in videogames, it won't be a bad idea to change it up a bit. Videogames are fantasy, so more women heroes aren't going to hurt anything. I'm not taking a shot a women. I'm just making the statement. It's not like I can do any of the things men do in videogames (it's fantasy).
I quit this game not long ago. I wasn't that interested in it to begin with. I was planning to finish it, but once I got to the section with the teleporting stuff, I gave up. I wasn't having that much fun and those puzzles were too much to go through for a game I wasn't going to play again. I have better games on my backlog to get to.
I wasn't a big fan of the PSP at first, but it won me over with all the rpgs. 44 games in your collection is impressive. I wish I had that many. I bet you have some nice rpgs in your PSP collection.
I had the same problems with Uncharted. I finished it, but I didn't really enjoy the game. I've been told by a few friends that the 2nd game is better. I plan to play it this year.
