And, to that girl who mentioned suicide, are you serious?? That's awful! :( Please don't, seriously!
I've never heard of it... I'm kinda worried now! I'm in exactly the same situation as you (I live in Europe) and I just bought KH2FM+ and Swap Magic a few days ago online. It hasnt arrived yet but i hope it works...
PS One: The first console I owned, so it has nostalgic appeal. It may not have been very powerful, but it had some of the greatest games ever created (FF VII, VIII, IX, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Metal Gear Solid, all those Tekken Games, etc.) so 5/5, definitely.
PS2: I still play this all the time, and, like the PS One, has some of the greatest games ever created (FF X, X-2, XII, and both KH games!) 5/5, again.
PSP: It's powerful for a handheld, but no good games yet, apart from FF I and II (still waiting for Crisis Core and Birth By Sleep!) 4/5
DS: Again, no really great games yet, apart from FF III, and FF XII Revenant Wings. (Still waiting for The World Ends With You, FF IV, and of course, 358/2 Days!) It's an innovative console, but the screens are really tiny and I hate having to watch cutscenes on two separate screens. On the plus side, you can play all GBA games on it. 4/5
GameCube: I never play this anymore, to be honest. Apart from The Wind Waker, this didnt have any really great games like the PS2 has. 3/5
N64: I rarely played this. Ocarina of Time was the only game I had for it that I really liked. 3/5
GBA: It wasn't powerful, but boy did it have some great games! FF IV, V, VI, and KH: CoM to name just a few. 5/5
I think they should put in more villains from other ff games, not just Sephiroth. Maybe Seymour from FFX, Ultimecia, Kuja, Judge Gabranth, Gilgamesh, Kefka etc. Having just Sephiroth as an optional boss is a tad unadventurous.
Im from Ireland, and we have a serious underage drinking problem here. (Yes, all the rumours you've heard are partly true...) The legal age is 18, but so many young people just binge drink anyways. It's worrying. And no matter what the legal age is, the problem won't go away. And then, you take a country like France, where kids drink wine from a very early age. And they have no such problem there.
It's the attitude to alcohol that's important, not the drinking age, IMO. If teenagers don't feel the need to abuse alcohol and go on a bender every other weekend, then there may as well be no age limit for the consumption of alcohol. It wouldn't be necessary. (so long as young children dont drink, obviously).
I'd just like to take this opportunity to extend my sympathy to anyone who is being bullied. The idea of someone being unhappy because of the actions of brainless morons is horrifying. I wish I could help, I really do. All I can do is urge you to do something about it, to talk to someone about what's happening, like your parents or a teacher, or your friends. You don't deserve to suffer through no fault of your own. If you do talk to someone, maybe it will stop and you can go on living the life you deserve. Just don't put up with it, whatever you do.
Ok, for people who are being picked on at school or whatever, I have some advice...
1. You should NEVER put up with anything that is negatively affecting your quality of life. You have the right to enjoy life and not be picked on my idiotic morons. You deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and you deserve happiness as much as anyone else.
2. I know it's cliched and stuff but you should always tell someone about your problems. It really does help so much. Whenever I have a problem I tell my parents about it. It's not easy to do as i'm naturally an introverted and deep person and I find it hard to express my emotions to others, but I just force myself to do it, cos it ALWAYS helps. It doesnt have to be your parents, a close friend or relative, or even a kind and sympathetic teacher can help.
3. Kinda repeating myself here but you should never tolerate anything in your life that makes you unhappy. Always do something to solve the problem.
Thankfully I've never had to put up with anything like being bullied in my life, but I really get mad when I hear about it happpening to someone else, it's so unjust.
He's the Director, Character Designer and Concept Artist for the KH series... And he designed the characters in FF VII, VIII, X, X-2 and XIII. He is the Director of FF Versus XIII as well. In other words, a pretty important guy
I suggest buying it off www.play-asia.com . You need to get a copy of Swap Magic too if you dont have a Japanese PS2/PS3. (or you could get an illegal mod chip... not recommended)
