Thanks guys, great as always. Can I ask what Sabrepulse song is used for the outro?

Ooh, Andy Kelly. When did this become the PSM2/3 podcast? Well, at least he shares a favourite game with me. (I think) But my inner commenter is making me spout opinion as fact before I even listen to the podcast. The JRPG formula is fine, it's just that the actual games have all been crap for years. (technological advancement has harmed the size of them, for one thing) It's a quality difference that is the problem. It's like if the shooter genre had all been Dark Voids and no Uncharted 2 for the past ten or so years. It's not the genre, it's the games. Also FFXIII is blatantly terrible. Much like Dark Void.

I won't be calling the TRUK phone from halfway around the world, so I don't care too much about that. I used to play a ton of JRPGs, but I think my interest started to wane from Final Fantasy VII. The new ones don't really make me want to get back into them too much.

Ah, lads. How long until we see the number for the TDar UK phoneline? Don't make promises you can't keep! On a slightly more upbeat note, can't wait to listen!
