Growlanser V: Heritage of War

In my opinion, this is the greatest real-time strategy game of the yr! The growlanser series has been one of my most favourite strategy games I've played so far. Now most games are becoming real-time, there are ppl who still love turned based strategy. But after playing growlanser V, now I think I prefer real-time strategy in a 3D environment.

As the name implies, HOW -> There are multiple characters you can control, allowing you to explore all their storylines which are all linked together. Eventually, you will take control of the main character and try to put an end to the war. Many parties are involved and the storyline gets more complicating and intriguing. Most of the missions' criteria will keep changing at different points of the battle. Sometimes failure to follow the mission victory condition will result in game over. But these are the elements that make growlanser V fun to play. Thanks to atlus, growlanser V was released in english. And next I hope there will be plans for growlanser VI's release in english.

Soul Nomad

This is the latest NIS game released.. So far I've completed the normal path and I'm now playing the demon path. The demon path involves more training (levelling) to beat the bosses, so I probably won't beat it soon. However, makai kingdom is still the best NIS game. Soul Nomad is funny but the storyline is bad. I can't say I like this game but I'll try to complete demon path anyway.

Persona 3/Persona 3 Fes

I think I've already reviewed on the JP version of P3. There probably won't be any US release for P3 FES. I'm still playing FES which is the event that happens after P3. There's a new char and the battles are much tougher than normal gameplay. The bosses are all mixed so their weaknesses and strengths all differ. Training is a solution to beat the bosses more easily, but most of the time you just need alot of luck and powerful personas to kill them.

Oh yea, quite many things happened to me recently and I wasn't able to update my blog. Don't know whether I got complain in my blog before, but a had a classmate who was bullying me in school for quite sometime. I was quite sad and angry at the same time because of many things he said. He is someone who doesn't care about other ppl, he's selfish and makes use of other ppl. Even after that, he did not apologise to me and threatened me infront of my classmates. Anyway, I don't have anything to do with him already. I'm trying hard to stay away from him, sometimes away from my classmates too because they're always with him. Doesn't matter anyway, actually this case has been resolved so long as he stops disturbing me, I'm happy.

As I got to know more of my classmates, I find that quite a handful of them are quite pro in programming and stuff. There's also some of them who earned direct entry to yr 2 and are struggling with assignments. But I think this term is really ok, because for databases we are learning from scratch and for C++ programming, Mr. Tham is our lecturer and he's much more linien than other lecturers.
