Looks like only three people this time, so we talk about you all, I guess. And be "we", I mean me and my extremely large ego, which I constantly have to prevent from taking over and levying insult after insult at the lot of you!

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to get through despite the barrier. I wasn't sure what to try--I have to say, I recommend trying this sort of thing at least once to anyone who plays JRPGs or thinks about it. It's interesting to see how you figure things out--how you rely on stuff like the first letter in a name and begin to piece things together. You get an idea of what it must be like to be illiterate, but without as much pain and frustration.

Congrats to everyone who participated this week. We don't have quite the volume going through that we once did, but there are still a lot of great games that need covering and we still have some of the best writers on the Internet gathering to do precisely that. I'm trying to do a better job promoting your reviews around the Internet, too, so hopefully your audience will continue to grow and you'll also have some extra competition in topics such as this one in the future! *fingers crossed*

Yeah, wish I had the time and ideas to write more reviews. But I don't want to just rehash what I said. Plus, writing my own text adventures takes a huge chunk out of this...nevertheless, I have some ideas and I want to try and share them.

This might have been another small week, but it was still solid and full of surprises. A new reviewer, ThoughtFool! Aschultz returning! And my RotW! Appreciate the pick, and I'm glad you enjoyed and understood what I was attempting to convey. Thanks.

Hey, I just read this, thank you for your input. I'll look at potentially breaking down the design section a little bit more or re-ordering the pros / cons paragraphs in future reviews. Perhaps I'll revisit the review to highlight a little bit more on the positives and how much I feel they outweigh some of the design flaws I felt the game had. I use the structured format probably because it was what I grew up reading (and what I wrote in my younger years).
