If it was about Tifa I probably would have played it years ago.

You really should give it a go. You could even emulate it - if I'm not mistaken, PSP emulation has gotten really good, and you can bump up the resolution considerably. It's already a fantastic-looking game.

I'd play a Yuffie ninja action game. I think Tifa would be great in a beat-'em-up, too. She's got that kind of look.
The weirdest character to base a game on would be Cid. Or, you know, make it a crossover of all the FF Cids. Now that would be an obscure franchise. I think it could work if it were some weird meta thing, though.

Yeah, Tifa is honestly pretty much the games Monk. She is freaking awesome in the remake, makes me want Platinum to make an action game with her. Whenever I try to remember what I think of FF7 Cid, I just draw a total blank. Vincent at least has the gothic vampire thing going on, but I'd fail to describe his character/personality as well. FF4 Cid is still probably my favorite, since he even teams up with you for a bit and beats up monsters with wrenches. lol Sarge : Yeah I don't know why I bought a copy of Crisis Core and Tactics Ogre. I don't really want to touch my PSP ever again, I'm getting nightmares just thinking of that d-pad. I had the early model, apparently the later ones are better. But I'm pretty sure I'm not double dipping for a handheld and ~2 games that interest me on it. EDIT: Yeah emulation is probably what I'll do. |

Cool. Mystery Dungeons is a reliably solid series as far as I'm concerned. Too bad that English patch is useless (it just does menus and item descriptions and stuff like that).

The English patch isn't useless if you simply wanted to play the game, as the patch translates everything you need to play it. The patch does not however, translate the dialogue, and I agree that aspect sucks. I wish they'd gone all the way with the translation effort. |

All that stuff you can probably figure out on your own, for the most part, espcially if you've played other games in the series. I once played through one of those Taiwanese Genesis SRPGs all the way through despite not knowing the language. It's not super hard, unless the game were much more complex than average. But it's also not a lot of fun.

It's not super hard, unless the game were much more complex than average. For a basic JRPG I agree with you. With a roguelike like the one above, I don't agree as much. Consistently knowing the names of equipment and items is really important in a roguelike. It's true some of that stuff's abilities change on a game per game basis, but simply knowing the clearly worded difference between a red potion or blue potion - can be life or death once the item's ability is determined. I'd certainly rather play a Mystery Dungeon game knowing what items and menus say, then not knowing what they say! That said, without having the dialogue translated as well, a significant portion of a Mystery Dungeon's charm is lost. These roguelikes actually have cutscenes and plot that intertwine the dungeon crawling. (I know you are aware of that toei, but some of our readers weren't.) |

 The surprisingly well known, yet wholly esoteric LSD Dream Emulator released in 1998 for PS1, has finally been English fan translated: www.romhacking.net/translations/5523/
"The translation covers all of the 48 text-dreams (most of them based in the dream journal ‘Lovely Sweet Dream’) and the main menu. Text dreams were based also on the english translation of Badcafe, Puptoon, Chia and other collaborators from the LSD: Dream Emulator Wiki website."-  An obscure 1992 PC-98 RPG entitled Gage has been English fan translated: www.romhacking.net/translations/5501/ |
