I found a book from my mailbox today. It's Spelunky by Derek Yu, the creator of the game. It's a book about the creation of the game. There's just one problem I have. I ordered it a month ago and got a message two weeks later that they didn't have any copies of the book left and they'd give me my money back. Well, I decided to order it again right away, this time from Amazon. I got the book today as I stated previously. It's from the Finnish site I tried to order it from first. My Amazon purchase hasn't arrived yet. I'm too lazy to return one of them...
It's its, not it's.

I ordered a copy of Puyo Pop Fever for the gamecube really cheap on Amazon many many moons ago.
One day I randomly decided to check my cancelled orders, just for the heck of it... They cancelled my order without telling me... Now the only seller that has it, is a reseller that loves to overprice every single game they sell.

@Tyranexx Yeah, that's good advise for all RPGs. How are you liking Sword of Hajya? I've seen it in the eShop and always wanted it but have never gotten it.

@Fooligan: It started off slow and the dialogue seemed to be a bit generic at first, so much so that I almost stopped playing. However, after the first third/half of the game, I feel that it really picks up. The maps are now more interesting, grinding/egressing/promoting has its benefits (I'm not resetting maps nearly as much, though part of it is because I could finally stop using a squishy healer), and the plot is becoming better.
This is my first Shining Force game, so needless to say I'm not very familiar with the series. XD I'm still not overly fond of the random character turn order, though the fact that enemies can't retaliate when your current unit is attacking helps alleviate that somewhat. I think I've been a bit spoiled by Fire Emblem.
Currently, I'd probably rate the game a low to mid-range seven. I'd say it's worth a look if you're into strategy games and don't go into it expecting something too similar to FE. I think that was initially part of my problem since I downloaded the game back when I first discovered my love of SRPGs through Awakening.

That's kind of funny. I got into SRPGs because of Shining Force. I played the second one when I was like 9 or 10 and I still consider it one of my favorite games. It came in a collection of Sega games for pc with sonic 2, comix zone, flicky and a couple other games that I found at k-mart. That's part of the reason I don't want to try this game because if it disappoints me I feel somehow my childhood will be ruined. I knows that sounds dumb since it's not the same game but, I don't know...

I don't remember much about Sword of Hajya. I bought it when it came out on eShop and beat it very quickly. It was worth playing but nowhere near as good as Shining Force 1 and especially 2. I'm starting to hear Shining Force music in my head just by thinking about it. I should play all of them again.

I had to take a look at its official Finnish term since the term I've always heard is "risuaita" which translates to "stick fence". Apparently, its actual name is "ristikkomerkki" meaning "grid sign". Makes more sense but I've never heard anyone use it before.
