Hi all ,
I actually planned to buy Windows 7 off Microsoft's online store today but went i tried paying it doesn't let me choose my country and hence i get a credit card address error . I know this might not be the correct place to ask but does the US Microsoft Store cater for only the US market ? ( I checked the Australia and UK site and they both let me choose the countries but aftre currency conversion i would be spending a LOT more) .

Gameplay Systems - Courtesy of Wikipedia

R.A.H. system

Reyvateils (the game's equivalent of mages) sing to execute what is known as 'Song Magic'; however, depending on the actions of the player, the songs will combine and change. These changes have additional effects; for example, increasing attack power. This system goes in hand with the Purge system (explained below), as the Reyvateils have to 'purge' to increase their power. The 'song magic' will change depending on the state of the Purge.

Diving

During the game, Aoto, the protagonist, can dive into the 'Cosmospheres' of certain Reyvateils to craft 'song magic'. Various personalities exist within the Cosmosphere, and the player can choose to have the Reyvateil fight in their clothing. Because the personalities who wear these costumes have differing preferences in 'song magic', the costume will influence the R.A.H. system. Diving additionally deepens the bond between the Reyvateil and the protagonist.

Talk Matters

The system for conversation is similar to those of the other games in the series, with the difference that only three Talk Matters are now needed for entering the next Cosmosphere level, and that they are classified by color to indicate how they are found: pink ones are triggered by progressing through the main story, green ones are obtained by having specific items in the inventory or meetin some conditions, and blue ones are found as shining orbs in the maps. Talk Matters for the rest of the party members exist - as opposed to the previous games - so now there can be conversations between any of the party members.

Battle System

The battle system is real-time based, similar to those of the Star Ocean games. Only one Reyvateil can be present in battle and the AI controls the non-protagonist characters. The Purge system is a key element, as it allows Reyvateils to use their high-level song magic. However, 'purging' also has importance for the non-Revyateil characters, as it allows them to use their best attacks.

The Revyateils are by themselves defenseless, so they must be defended by the player

Stage progression and battles are both very difficult, and it comes down to trial and error. In addition to all that, character development and item purchase both use the same thing (Souls) and there are no recover points in the middle of stages, so I came away with the impression that the game is really strict. The online portion is unique and interesting in that you can see impressions left by strangers. 7

There are screens where you will die over and over, and it's the type of game where you advance through trial and error. As an RPG, the battles are numerous... BUT... as you progress in the game you start to realize the variety of enemy attacks and the bizarre stage design and the game becomes very deep. If you want to try a particularly deep RPG, then by all means try this!! 9

Extremely difficult. It has a certain fascination in that you have a feeling of accomplishment and want to keep trying just one more time. Saying that, you have to use "Souls" to both strengthen your character and purchase items. This is severe enough, but on top of that the game gives you no hints and the game is just too stoic... 6

A game where death equals nothing. It shows From Software's true worth. I felt like it was a game that offered no compromise nor concern, but if you fall to hell you can see a little bit of heaven. ... (the rest was too blurry for me to read) 7

Question about ps3 games

Sey — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:15:10 +0800

hi everyone , i just bought a PS3 along with GTAIV .

When i checked my GTAIV version it was PAL and at the back cover it said it only supports HD720P , 1080i and 1080p resolutions .

Currently i am using those Fat Old TV which doesn't support any of these resolutions with fancy numbers (460i , 720p etc) . Thus my ps3 won't let me start the game as i can only set mine to normal NTSC.

Now my question is ,

Do ps3 games from other regions have other resolution restrictions too?

Wireless BBs besides Maxis

Sey — Sat, 31 May 2008 21:09:04 +0800

I've just moved house and TM said that they can't give me a phone line till late june/early july . So no tmnet for me (oh the horror) .

Anyways , i registered for maxis wireless BB today and well...its been shit . Loading pages take ages . Downloads are piss slow . It seems the speed fluctuates a lot . I feel like cancelling now .

So i would like to ask you guys for suggestions on other wireless ISP's . I only plan to subscribe maybe for a month or two till i get my screamyx back .

I mainly want to use it for the following :
1) Surfing web / college projects
2) Light BTing (the occasional anime or game)

Would prefer something reliable than fast with fluctuating speeds .

I stay in the Ara Damansara area btw .
