Isn't "Lord Ghaleon" a character from another RPG?

RE: Digital Devil Saga 1&2

Tosh is also a character from a similar RPG by the same company that made Ghaleon's game.

This game loks good, but is maybe just a little too weird for my tastes.

It looks awsome but sadly I can't buy it because it's just another one of the games that didn't get released in the UK.

Ghaleon is from the Lunar series. The Silver Star and Eternal Blue. They're both extremely rare games. Be prepared to shell out 70+ dollars for either, if you're lucky.

Tosh is from the Arc the Lad series, I, II, and III, and probably End of Darkness too. Dont really know because i havent started it over all the other games ive played. But I is well, not good. II is AWESOME. III is complained to be bad but IMO its not, just a downgrade in graphics.

As for Digital Devil Saga, I havent gotten that far into it but its a really good game and its worth a play if you ever find it.

Oh, and Nocturne is better than DDS. By FAR.

SMT3 has better gameplay, but the story didn't appeal to me as much. I like the side games in the MegaTen series (Persona 1 & 2, DDS, Soul Hackers) more than the main ones (Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei 1-3). Well, Persona 1's localization is on the lol side, but Persona 2: Batsu/Eternal Punishment is beyond stellar. Too bad Persona 2: Tsumi/Innocent Sin never came out here. Yes, Persona 2 has two installments. I've played the second one, using a fan-translated script online, and it's every bit as good as the first. oh wait no one here has even heard of the megaten series

Lunar: SSSC and Lunar: EBC aren't that rare. The Sega CD versions are, sure, but I doubt anyone here even has a Sega CD that works. SSSC and EBC are better anyway. I own both, limited editions, got both from a guy on eBay for 30 each.

Arc the Lad isn't made by the same people as Lunar, but it was localized by Working Designs, the greatest localization company ever, responsible for Lunar, Growlanser Generations, Arc the Lad, and many others. RIP Working Designs. I own pretty much all of their games. They will be missed.

Actually, the three-headed fire guy, Asura Cerberus, is in the first one. Unless he means Asura Vritra, who has 3 heads and appears to be weak to ice, but actually absorbs it.

L:SSSC was awesome, completely raped its predecesor in every way. L:EBC was a little less awesome.. it's pretty close with the Sega CD version. The story unfolds a little better in the Sega CD version.. but you get all those visuals in Complete. God did I love those games.

Amen to Working Designs being the best localization team. But they've stsarted a gaming fad that lives on through them. Just be glad they're not the only ones anymore. Thank them too.

I've heard nothing but good about the Digital Devil Saga and I plan on buying one.. but my friend flew in from Florida so I was dedicating my time towards him. The games have been piling up.
