My most foolish game purchase would have to be "Unlimited Saga". anyone else do this? it might have been a gift, actually, but regardless I wanted it at the time...

Only to be COMPLETELY and utterly dissapointed. I could barely stand playing ONE character, let alone the rest. It just seemed so pointless. First off, the graphics were utter trash for a PS2 game. They didn't even bother making any field maps, for christ sake. Traps occur for no reason, and you get tortured by a spinning "random" wheel to try and evade it, instead of having the computer randomly do that shit for you.
Life points and healthpoints. you can still play with 0 HP, as long as you have LP. hp is a "shield" for your LP though. only is doesn't work - enemies can STILL attack your LP, even with max hp. rubbish.
NO reasons to care for quests, or characters, and the stats and skills you get at the end of a quest have to be erased to make way for new ones after a few quests.
and, really, half the time I'm just wondering WTF was going on!?

Romancing saga's remake was MUCH better.
