"Moe"

DYRE

I know what you meant.  I was just making a bad joke.

I will look up the picture though.

manga!Rei Hino > anime!Rei Hino

Just felt a need to say this.

Tnophelia

Sai Akuto > Shiji Ikari

Trash_Vortex

Everyone > Shinji Ikari

glennmagusharvey

Shinji Ikari > Rei Ayanami

Tnophelia

Eclair > Rei Ayanami

DYRE

This is true.

Not that I know anything about the character from Kiddy Grade (which is I guess the one you meant), but there's an Eclair in La Pucelle Tactics and she was cool.

Tnophelia

I liked her too ^^

Tnophelia

But Priere was THE BEST

glennmagusharvey

I need to add La Pucelle Tactics to my to-play list.

Tnophelia

Good luck . ROMs of it don't exist.

DYRE

You're right.  Because it's stored on a DVD.  I'm sure you can find an ISO somewhere though.  Yeah, took like 2 seconds of searching.

That said, it's probably like $10 at a store.

Tnophelia

After reading the Moe page on TV tropes and Wikipedia....

It all boils down to "Female, anime-related and appealing to the audience".

glennmagusharvey

I think that the perception of cuteness, especially child-like cuteness, is a big part of the trope.

What system is LPT for?

DYRE

La Pucelle Tactics is for the PS2.

Tnophelia

There's a ROM on pirate bay with no seeders, and a broken ISO on isohunt.

DYRE

There's ISO on demonoid with 5 seeders.  But like I said, it's probably really cheap anyway, and it's probably better to play on an actual PS2 (well, I guess if you modded your PS2, you could still play it, but...), so... just buy it.

glennmagusharvey

The biggest problem is that I don't have a PS2.  And I probably don't have a computer powerful enough to emulate it anyway.

DYRE

Ah.  I see.  That would be an obstacle to playing it, surely.

Too bad, too.  It's pretty good.  Though, since it's by Nippon-Ichi, there's lots of grinding if you want to fight the bonus boss.  Though, not much grinding to just get through the story, anyway.

My PS2 to-get list is currently ICO and Wild ARMs 4.  Secondarily, possibly one of the Mega Man collections.

Gelzo

Man, isn't ICO kind of rare/pricy? Good luck finding it.

Tnophelia

I have 2 ICOs. Waiting for a couple years before I open them or sell them.

I always get the games I want for christmas, it's just my family doesn't coordinate and they ALL buy me a copy of the game.

glennmagusharvey

Well, the most likely result is that, several years down the road, there will be a fully-functioning PS2 emulator, and I'll be sure I have a computer that can emulate it, and I'll just grab a copy of ICO for...free, yeah.  Assuming I'll need a joystick, I can just pick up some XBox-gen USB controller.  Probably used.

Tnophelia

I won't be selling it to you then

ClockworkUniverse

ICO is getting a rerelease on PS3 in a bundle with Shadow of the Colossus, so I'd expect the price of those to drop quite a bit when that comes out.

Really? Are you certain of that? I only heard that as rumor...

DonZabu

Either way, sell them for 10c now so you won't have to sell them for 5c later.
