The story may be more baisc but it certainly sounds interesting. I'm definitely more intrigued to play it now after reading what you said.

If U2 didn't have great characters, then it'd just be a fun Indiana Jones knockoff. Lords of Shadow feels like a buffet knockoff, plenty of ingredients but no main dish.

One of the great things about the piano is that it can facilitate such a wide variety of styles. It can cater to everyone, more or less.

If you can round up two peeps to sit on the sofa and play it with you, definitely give it a go. It's a ton of fun and readily available on Virtual Console.

Secret of Mana is probably the best place to jump in because it's readily available on Virtual Console, though the best way to play it is with two friends or siblings. That's a blast. Final Fantasy Adventure on the Game Boy, which is actually the first Mana game, is pretty good. Legend of Mana on the PS1 is a love it or hate it kind of game. I think it's hard to get into  The rest are kind of hit or miss, unfortunately, except Seiken Densetsu 3...but like you said, it's never been officially localized 

Some people turn their nose up at it but I think that's mostly a case of disliking something that has been successful. It's kind of like the granddaddy of video game books and it's a really interesting read, so I'd definitely encourage you to track down a copy even if, like me, you get it from the library lol

One of my friends on Facebook posted a video of this thing and it looks pretty cool, though like you asked, is it necessary? Could be pretty cool if it works well and isn't too expensive. We'll see.

Cool beans. I've noticed several little changes to the message system that have really make it easier to use. Keep up the good work!

I see Two Worlds II every time I go to GameStop and have always wondered if it's any good. Hope you get around to writing that blog sooner or later.

I have Majora's Mask on the GameCube collector's edition but I haven't played it. Been meaning to for years though. My younger brother tried it and got stuck on one part because he kept running out of time lol. Glad you finally finished it. That is a great feeling
