Wow what a massive grandia fan!

That's an impressive collection, dao.

You have an excellent taste in RPGs, too. I love the framed Epoch schematic.

Thanks I do love it very much and need an acrylic cover, however I'm not sure if the issues, wait, and price it was worth it.. even considering how big of a firefly fan I am. If you're not a big fan I would definitely pass.

Maybe you are confusion Skies of Arcadia with Grandia :< I do like Grandia and have most of the series but all the custom stuff is SoA :P

Yeah it's a great poster, thick paper too I would heartily recommend it :P How do you like both SoA and FF12 but like FF12 better?! I didn't think such a thing was possible!

I'm guessing you deduced that from my username? I wouldn't read too much into that, I just kind of plucked that name out of the air.

I actually like both games a lot and would be hard-pressed to pick a favourite. I prefer FF XII's battle system but like the story and characters in SoA a lot more. (Vyse is so much better than Vaan it's not even funny). I just wish more people could have played SoA; it deserved so much more than just cult classic status.

Yup your username ;p I think in another thread I said "Air Pirates better then Sky Pirates". A lot of FF12s characters felt like really cheap imitations of SoA characters and the story felt a bit ripped as well imo. I actually prefer SoA's battle system. It's traditional for a reason :P And while I do like active systems FF12s felt too much like autopilot to me ><.

And yeah not a lot of SoA fans unfortunately I try to get everyone I can to play it but the days of SoA are over >< It was good to see them in Valkyria Chronicles though ;p

For me, SoA is an easy pick over FF12, I didn't even like FF12 that much, although it was a MASSIVE leap over 10.

Ah, I see what you meant by the "air pirates are better" comment now, dao. I was too tired at the time to put two-and-two together.

But, yeah, I understand where you're coming from regarding FF XII. I seem to be the only person who liked it all that much. It did rip off SoA (and Vagrant Story, too) but, weirdly, I think that's why I liked it. (I like almost anything with pirates in it, though).

Just noticed that your SoA airship is actually a Dreamcast. Epic! Was that a mod you did or was it actually for sale?

Impressive collection, dao!

Now where's the STARS Biohazard dreamcast??

Yes it is a dreamcast ;p Not really a mod as the whole thing was build ground up with that in mind but the whole ship was a scratch-build custom anyways so >< My favorite FF is by and far 6, with 7 trailing. Although as far as favorite JRPGs it goes SoA -> Chrono Trigger -> Xenogears -> Suikoden II -> FF6 so FF barely cracks the top 5 list ><

Edit: Also, airship battles. Just win right there.

Thanks I actually have very few official dreamcasts (the regular, a black one I gutted for parts, and the replacement top-halfs). The STARS one isn't really on my list anyway :< The red biohazard one one the other hand... that's a definite maybe. I do want some other things first though ;p Like a MR Falcon and a Yakuza 3 PS3.

That was a great collection to look through. I loved the serenity stuff and I didn't realize how cool the star wars bounty hunter statues ended up. Thanks.

Wow amazing collection!!!
