Hello, Boooooooys.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective for the Nintendo DS is definitely one of the better fivers I've spent. I was just expecting some fun puzzling; what I got was some really fun puzzling, endearing characters, great animation and a story that I'm actually quite engaged by. I have exclaimed 'WHAT IS GOING ON' multiple times at plot developments.
Ghost Trick has also introduced me to the campest character in the history of videogames and indeed of fiction in general and indeed of the universe. He is so camp that I cannot come up with a simile to adequately convey how camp he is. You might describe him as 'camp as a row of tents', but you would be wrong. John Barrowman is as camp as a row of tents. Rows of tents wiiiiish they were as camp as Inspector Cabanela, baby.
I really don't want to finish this game! The structure of the game dictates that it has to take place over one night, ending at dawn, and I'm already at four in the morning game-time, so there probably can't be much more of it. PLEASE LAST FOR EVER, GHOST TRICK, I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN.
I don't know whether any of you have actually played Ghost Trick, but I encourage you to give it a go if you happen to own a DS!
Almost finished Revenant Wings! I think I need to raise my levels a bit before I can take down the final boss, though.
Before the final battle, Vaan starts going around and giving everyone individual pep talks. As he approaches Balthier, Balthier turns his back.
Vaan: Balthier, uh... thanks.
Fran: What's all this?
Balthier: I try not to ask questions I won't like the answer to.
I just love that Balthier and Fran completely refuse to engage in the 'BIG INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH BEFORE THE FINAL BOSS' Final Fantasy tradition. You guys are my favourites.
As I appear to be in rather a DS-gaming mood at the moment: has anyone played The World Ends With You? What did you think of it? I've been wondering whether I should pick it up, but it seems so pricey. And are there any other DS games you'd recommend?

I also adore all the Lego (something) games I've played so far, and highly recommend those.

I remember the Lego Star Wars games for the PS2 being really fun, so I shall keep an eye out for others!

THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU IS BASICALLY MY FAVOURITE I WISH IT WAS LESS EXPENSIVE SO MORE PEOPLE COULD PLAY IT. SKJFKSDDSKFSDKLJ I play to replay it once I'm done with Ghost Trick (and I want to replay Apollo Justice, and and and...)

I'll have to keep an eye out for a reasonably-priced copy of The World Ends With You, then! And I'd like to try a Phoenix Wright game at some point; I still haven't actually played any of them.
no subject
The first game is still kind of my favourite, though :x I bought my DS in the first place to play Phoenix Wright, this is a decision I have not regretted once ♥. (AND NOW THE NEXT GAME IS GOING TO BE OUT ON THE 3DS AUGH WHAT DO I DO.) (Buy a 3DS, I suppose...)

I've heard very good things about The World Ends With you - I really wanted to get the game before my DS broke, and thought about getting the game anyway, but then... Well, how would I play it? :<
And oh Balthier. Oh Fran. Never change. ♥

The Ace Attorney games (excluding the "Investigations" spinoffs) were created by the same guy who directed Ghost Trick. If possible, it's worth playing them in order; they're essentially visual novels so there are lots of references to characters and past cases.
(also, um, hello! I'm not much of an LJ person but I read your "Brooker and Mitchell WITH POKEMON" story a while back and was stupidly excited to see you also had 'metal gear solid', 'phineas and ferb', and 'life on mars' tags. Finding people with similarly-unusual combinations of interests is always a treat.)

I'm evidently going to have to check out the Ace Attorney games as well; three people have now recommended them in these comments! Thank you very much for your advice.
(And hello to you as well! That is an excellent combination of interests you have. I should probably try to finish Metal Gear Solid at some point; I sort of abandoned it halfway through on account of being so bad at stealth that I was embarrassing myself. It's very nice to meet you!)

Um. Elite Beat Agents. Biggest rec to ever rec, really.
