Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
There are mid-map savepoints in this game, but only one or two per chapter. So yes, but not without limit.

Depends on who you ask. From what I've seen, popular choices are:
* the seventh game, Blazing Sword (or the GBA one that's just "Fire Emblem")
* the ninth game, Path of Radiance
* and the fourth game, Genealogy of the Holy War (which is Japan-only and can only be played via the crack roms)
Sacred Stones and Shadow Dragon are pretty fun and good for getting the hang of the game mechanics, but a lot of Fire Emblem fans don't seem to like them as much because their stories and characters aren't as fleshed-out.
Shadow Dragon was also a remake of a NES game, and consequently feels very basic and sparse in comparison to more recent titles, in spite of the addition of new features.

This is true. The DS remake of its sequel is apparently a lot better, but sadly, it too can only be played via the crack roms.
Also, I'm on Chapter 8 now, and holy jeez I didn't know I could buy rapiers in this game! Must resist urge to buy five of them...

Okay never mind, you can only buy one. That seems pretty reasonable, actually.
We now own a number of games due to Steam's Winter Sale. So much that we've forbidden ourselves from buying anything else unless it's less than five dollars.
What takes precedence is Fallout New Vegas. You folks were right; it is an improvement on Fallout 3 in a number of ways. Plot's a bit too good, to be honest. I got up to the part where the main plot splits into four, and I was stuck for a few hours because I couldn't decide on which path to take.
The companion quests, from what I've seen, are pretty good, Definitely an improvement from Mass Effect 2's formulaic formula. Sure, they're more difficult to activate--I've had four companions so far, and I've only done one of their quests--but they feel more realistic.

Ah, New Vegas. Yeah, it's basically got a fantastic plot. What faction did you end up siding with?
(Keep in mind, you can do quests for each faction until you get far enough in one faction's quests that you're locked out of the other faction's main quest line, or your reputation for a given faction gets too low.)

I'm playing as a merchant/rogue who cares more about semi-fair business and reputation than power and factions. While he's more or less against the Legion (associating yourselves with mass-executioners tends to be bad for business), he has no intention of allying himself to a single faction, as that would limit the potential range of his business. So, he's going to ally himself with the NCR (the more reasonable faction) up to the critical point while he builds up his reputation among the various tribes; then, he'll assassinate House and set the end-game in motion.
Videogame roleplaying is a thing I do, as you can tell.

That was one of the things that disappointed me most about playing old SNES games on my brother's GBA SP years ago...the sound is awful. It's like they bolted a PCM channel onto the original Game Boy design and said "Fare thee well"...

No one has commented on 10 yet, I notice. Not a lot of people would recommend that.
From what little I've seen of it (namely the first third or so of NCS's Let's Play of it), it looks okay... if you're willing to put up with Tidus's mannerisms. But it's probably not the best FF game.
One thing I will say about it, though: I was pleasantly surprised by the normal battle theme. It's one of my favorites in the series.
I haven't played many, but Final Fantasy X was the only one I really got into. The whole "main hero is a brat" thing isn't as big of a problem as people made it out to be because that was the entire point. Also, FFX has this guy:

You mean the Sphere Grid, right? Yeah, that looked pretty interesting. I kinda like how everyone's "classes" tied into each other eventually.

I'm not very far in and I'm already sick of the battle system. Having to stock up on attacks? Really?
