All-DS week for me. I'm picking up Luminous Arc 2 and Chrono Trigger. Have them both preordered so I'm getting the Luminous Arc series artbook and the Chrono Trigger arrange CD. Trigger is a Christmas present though, so I don't get to play with it until next month. :)
Whoa, you're getting the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger? That's hardcore, man.
I don't know if I'll get Chrono Trigger period yet. (I already own the SNES and PSX versions, so unless there's some crazy amount of must-play content, I think I've spent enough money on this game).
I'm definitely picking up Last Remnant. I'm still iffy on its battle system, but the story seems like it will interest me. *crosses fingers*
Ha ha, nope, I guess I spaced on the release date for CT-- I thought it was coming out simultaneously worldwide, like Last Remnant. Next time I've got to read the post more closely. :)
Yeah, you had me a little surprised there. I thought you just either couldn't bear to hold out the extra 4 days or were such a purist that you consider English localizations to be a bastardization of the game in question.
Even I'm not that hardcore.
...Well, not usually.
