Tales of Symphonia.... well, Fire Emblem

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah but it hasn't been done too many times in video games. ..

But it shows up way too often in fantasy or historical fiction books, so...

Yes. So go out and buy a GB Player.

$50 to play games I can already play? Maybe someday, but it just doesn't seem quite worth it.

Well.... somebody did... might as well have been you.

Since you took a year to get the game.

Well... I didn't buy anything right after christmas (which is why I ended up getting 8 games in February), and last fall I got SoM and FFTA, and then in February... yeah, I got four games and not this. But I thought that LttP had a higher priority than FE. And the others were cheaper and filled in some gaps I didn't have on GB like shooter, straight RPG, and racing... I didn't really want ANOTHER strategy-RPG yet. :)

Then this summer that's only the second GBA game I've gotten, after NES Zelda.

Yeah people in real life do talk a lot, but when your house is on fire or you're trying to beat some evil warlord who's trying to take over your father's kingdom, you're not gonna be chattin' it up all of the time, you know what I mean?

First, they don't really KNOW that they're trying to beat an evil wizard for a long time. I'm at mission 16X and the characters are just starting to understand, they think, what is going on... without this much speech you'd lose some of that.

And second, it's a long quest. A year goes by between missions 10 and 11! Of course when they see eachother again they'll want to talk... and similar with new people. It's a small band and a new person joins. Many people would want to greet them. Most games just wouldn't show it... but I think it's nice.

And they save most of the talking for between missions, you know. Only a bit during them. :)
