DC lover. And I'm just shaking my head at Sega's decision to kill it. It could have been great competition... people were buying it! And it was definitly a system for skilled players, with it's unique processor that makes games harder the more you play it(think Tekken 5 if it was still around, or SCIII). A decent size like the Gamecube, and I liked the VMU interface.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I certainly didn't think it was that much more powerful at the time, but developers eventually tapped into it. A shame it died, but at least it happened.

Sega was being out done by the PSX, PS2 was not the issue. Since the PSX was killing everybody, Sega figured "well fuck it".

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Since I only played PSO, Capcom vs. SNK and Grandia II on DC, the controller was alright for the most part. The N64 controller gets no love from me(except with Wave Race). The Saturn had a sad sad fate, this baby was released at the wrong time... still I will cherish the memories Virtue Cop and Panzer Dragoon gave me.

How ya doing, buddy?

LOL. The only and ONLY reason to get this system was for Doom, and even then you could've just bought it on PC. Don't hate on the Jaguar ~~calculator~~ though because they tried :P.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Alot of people like to compare it to Skies of Arcadia (the DC's other big RPG) and say that Grandia II wasn't as good.

Alot of people compare all rpgs to SoA, much like ~~Fanboy Fantasy 7~~. I must say I'm shocked so many people like Grandia II, when in the Grandia appreciation(or was it III..) thread, the game gets knocked on pretty bad as being the worst of the series. I have the PS2 version, there is only one difference between the two, Ryudo says his Sky Dragon Slash line in a different order.

DC: "Sworn enemies, you shall be defeated! Take that! Sky Dragon Slash"!
PS2: "Sworn enemies, take that! Sky Dragon Slash! You shall be defeated".

:eyebrow:

I was speaking idiomatically.
