[Multiplatform] Quality in the Bargain Bin

Grandia Xtreme - I bought this in Japan, sealed for 1000 yen, like 10 dollars. Sure it may be an old game, and it may not have been a huge hit like the earlier games, but this is still a steal. I'm loving the game btw, there may be no story, but the gameplay is simply excellent (no matter what people may say, gameplay has always been the best aspect of a Grandia game).

Tales of Symphonia - You'd say that the PS2 port of a Gamecube hit would value a lot of bucks, but I still found it dirt cheap everywhere, even though the release wasn't so old. The GC version which was older was more expensive than this one, even though most people seem to think that the PS2 game is the better version. I do not regret spending 15 bucks for this one.

How ya doing, buddy?

Seriously? I mostly go on extra content that the PS2 version has, like more floors to the hidden dungeon with an awesome fight at the bottom, some new skits and stuff like that. Load times aren't really an issue in Tales games for me, seeing as the ones in Symphonia are no worse than in Legendia, and even better as in Abyss.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
