Kirby is out! - A Black Falcon - 28th October 2004
There was nothing wrong with that post. I wouldn't quote one of his stupid ones just if he wanted you to read it...

Well, I do work and get money for doing that work, but it's not exactly what I'd call a "job".

Well I don't have problems with you quoting them, just in quoting them for the express purposes of me reading it, considering I purposefully banned his posts for a reason. Besides that, it WAS a stupid post :D.

Well kind of, but 'stupid' in a humor sense really, not in the sense I meant... :)

Oh right, never mind.
The only Mario RPG I don't own yet is Mario & Luigi for the Game Boy Advance, but I plan to change that soon enough. :)
I do seem to recall my girlfriend sending me a ROM of M&L, but I don't think I played very far into the game. I'll have to pick up on it again sometime.
I also need to get Kirby... must wait one more paycheck... Kirbyyyyyyyy...

Kirby is totally frickin' awesome, and makes a good pillow.
Dreamland, get it?
...never mind....
So then, Mario & Luigi is awesome, and you are getting it soon. Soon, you shall have all the Mario RPGs. Sadly enough, I myself only have the first 3, but soon I'll change that too.
Now then, IS has made two Mario RPGs, both of them foldable :D. That one company that's cool but I forget the name made one as well for GBA, with an art style that just OOZES Mario. Really, it does. It feels like Mario World only with better graphics.
Now then, actually there is one thing. All the Mario RPGs are great, but the first sorta has a place for me. What I'm getting at is, I would like to see Square-Enix get another wack at it now that they are buddies with Nintendo again. That "purposfully simplistic CG" style isn't the most MARIO of all art styles, but it still fits the whole "constantly changing appearence" thing of Mario. But, not really the visual style here, but rather the whole way that game played was a bit different. I mean, they all have the flower point well for everyone, and the timed maneuvers, and all that cool stuff (Mario and Luigi has taken it the farthest so far from what I've played, being able to take one move and depending on butten presses it does many different things). But, I mean the party system. The Paper Mario games let you have one ally who doesn't level up but is powered up. Mario and Luigi explains the party system in the title. Mario RPG had a standard RPG party system with 5 characters you could switch in and out that were fully developed combat-wise. What I'm saying is the last one would be nice to explore again. They could make it look like, I dunno, they could go with a style similar to Katamari Damacy actually :D, I think that could work for Mario.

Wait, no I don't.

Haha, DJ is just mad because I'm right. She's all "Man only RICH people can buy lots of games" and I was all "Yeah anyone who has a job is RICH* in a sarcastic manner and then she was like "You're DUMB" and then I giggled because she's lazy and doesn't have a job, and therefor can't buy too many games.
:D
BTW someone should quote that.

I agree, Super Mario RPG was the best of the Mario RPGs. But here's one improvement that was made from PM1 to PM2: your partners now have HP rather than being impaired for a few turns whenever they're attacked. However, you still get an automatic Game Over if Mario is K.O.'d, regardless of whether or not your partner is still standing. It's still not quite the same as SMRPG, where you get to use three characters at a time, one of whom is Mario, and they all level up and learn their own attacks. In both Paper Marios, Mario is the only one who levels up. SMRPG does a good job not making Mario seem too important (i.e. you can continue a battle even when Mario is K.O.'d, the other characters don't really rely on Mario for anything, etc.), the only thing Mario has above the other characters is that he has to be in the party at all times, whereas the other characters are interchangeable. In the Paper Marios, not only is Mario a staple at all times, but if he's K.O.'d, the game is over, he's the only one who levels up, and he's the only one who can use items, star powers, and the "Run Away" option.
Yeah... I'm rambling senselessly. In short, I agree that Square-Enix should have another shot at a Mario RPG because their Mario RPG was the best of the four, but the other three were still awesome. Thank you and good night.

Yes, the other games I've played ARE awesome, and VERY good, easily some of the best games around. It's just that, well, the first, to me, is still the best of these amazing gems. Maybe it's because it was the first to come up with that timed action battle system for the series (later half-arse incorporated into Final Fantasy games :D, like the R1 press to fire the gunblade in mid slice in FF8, that was SO Mario RPG). Anyway, Squeenix handling a new Mario RPG with a fully developed party of 5 to, I dunno, 10 characters, would be great.
I have ONE question about Paper Mario 2. Is Bowser the ultimate evil like in Paper Mario 1, or has Bowser been forced to ally with you (against his will) as in Super Mario RPG and Mario & Luigi? If it's done in standard RPG fasion, as in, Bowser is only revealed to be a puppet at the halfway point really far into the game and like, the evil being from the 17th dimension (whoever sent Culex to Mario's world for example :)), who's name IS Hate, suddenly swoops in and changes everything, then, don't answer that.

Bowser isn't the bad guy here, but when he discovers that Peach has been kidnapped by somebody else, he gets mad and journeys to Rogueport. (The island where PM:TTYD is set.) I haven't gotten much further, so I don't know any of his role beyond that point. All I know is that he's not the bad guy this time around.
Kirby is out! - OB1 - 1st November 2004
The funniest part of the first PM was when you played as Peach in Bowser's castle and read his diary.
