Re: Still Playing?

I still play. If you've not yet bought the Anniversary edition to get all expansions, may as well wait a few more weeks.

The 14th expansion's out next Tuesday, and it comes with all expansions as well ($40 price tag).

Re: Must have PS2 games?

If you liked FFX, then look into FFXII and Dragon Warrior VIII. I just finished the latter last week. Very good RPG.

My hand-span isn't long enough to stretch to hit that fifth fret. I have to shift, and then lose myself when trying to shift back. I'm going to need to work on that a bit before I can get better at the higher level songs.

I've played it a bit - got into the fourth city on Medium mode (always getting 4 or 5 stars).

I've never played guitar before, but I've played Cello for 8 years when I was in school - that left pinky just doesn't get used as much othewise :)

From what I've understood from the people from Five Rings, they didn't like the idea of waiting in line to kill things on Legends. They wanted full access to mobs if they were up. So they chose Luclin, which at the time had no high-end game of their level so there was no contest to mobs.
