Niahak's Place

I accepted a job offer from a company today, so it looks like I finally know for sure what I’ll be doing in 3 months or so.

I’m in the final section of Rogue Galaxy, and I have to say, the earlier plot points are better done than the last parts.  The game starts out light and fun, but events become really heavy-handed after a bit and it turns out I like some of the subplots better than the main one.  Game’s still fun, but it’s winding down.  What’s next?  I have no idea.  I’ve been meaning to replay Wild Arms ACF, as well as the entire Suikoden series.  I’ll just have to see how I feel in the next few days.

I do have to say one thing, though.  This game is very pretty.  I liked FFXII’s graphics for a while, but I thought they were grainy, and there were too many browns and grays (the foresty and snowy parts tended to be pretty short, while dungeons were quite long).   Rogue Galaxy, meanwhile, has a few scenes that are absolutely amazing, between a landscape of a tropical water planet to a far-reaching view of a futuristic city.  Most areas are well-fleshed out, and even in some hostile areas I would rotate the camera just so I could see the background.
