Yeah, thats why I said technically. It's a stretch.

If by Secret of Mana 3 you mean Legend of Mana, yes you can choose a variety of weaponry, but the game centers very little on the characters you can choose between. That having been said, the box art has the male with a sword. Beside that, of the three quest lines you can bring about the end of the game with, two of them feature major players with swords (Escad with 2H-Sword, Elazul with Sword). The third quest line features Larc, who uses an axe.

Actually I mean Secret of Mana, also known as Seiken Densetsu 3. There are six choices as the major character, and only one of them has a sword. The others have a staff, a flail, daggers, a spear, and knuckles.

It's honestly one of the few games in which the dialogue didn't make me ashamed for the entire creative team and their families, and this is talking about a game in which a jug of concentrated hobo pee is a major quest reward. Kind of, you know, says things.

I just realized how used I've gotten to games having dialogue that makes me embarassed for the entire creative team and their families.

I've just basically come to accept that most of anything spoken in a given game will make me hate the people who put it there along with myself for sitting there and listening to it.

Worlds of Starcraft

Enough said, me thinks.

EVILNess · 05-23-2008, 04:56 PM

A good online fighting game with a character creation system as robust as City of Heroes, multiple fighting styles, and user made content. Basically a MMO-Mugen with some rules to have some game balance.

So, Rumble Fighter then?

Atelier Iris: Eternal mana has the main character use a staff. You get an action girl that uses claws, a perverted guy with a crossbow, a catgirl with a different kind of staff then a guy with a sword who is quickly replaced with a woman who actually WEARS armor and uses a WHIPsword.

I think most of the games that I want to exist either already do, or conceptually they exist but we just don't have the technological means quite yet.

I am waiting for the inevitable MMORPG that isn't a boring grind-fest. Don't go trying to sell me some MMORPG now because I've tried every MMORPG EVER EVER and they're all boring grind-fests. I admit grind is probably one of the only ways to keep people interested for the really long time that MMORPGs shoot for, but damn it, now is the time to come up with something innovative. WoW did a nice job but kindly lay down and die so some underdog up-and-coming MMORPG can have the vaguest shot in hell of getting off the ground.

A d20 Modern video game would be nice. I know the following's way too small, but I can dream. At the very least a d20-based game set in the Modern era; it doesn't have to be directly based on that book line. We get a lot of fantasy (too much) and a lot of sci-fi (Pah, they'll never out-do Mass Effect), but sexy dice rolling in the present day seems cautiously avoided. Or I'm blind.

Something just occured to me; what the fuck ever happened to that Firefly MMO idea?? I would so play that.

Also, Aliens: colonial marines. I know this was around for a while before it went AWOL, but then it came back for a short while before falling back into limbo again. Why do games do this?

No, SD3 is what you'd call "Secret of Mana 2".

For comparison, "SD2" is Secret of Mana. "SD1" is Final Fantasy Adventures/Sword of Mana.
