First off, the English translation of Der Langrisser has been released. Feel free to grab a copy of the ROM, patch it, and go. Instructions are all over the website. If you like strategy RPGs and can take a little bit of old-school flavor that’s been several years in the translating, you owe it to yourself to check this out.
Secondly, I started playing Final Fantasy XI. Again. I realized my problem before is that I keep getting impatient: the reality is, when I’m patient, I’m actually pretty good at this game. Not dealing with idiots yet helps, too. One idly wonders if I could take my THF/WAR clear to level 20 and just skip Valkurm altogether. I’m averaging about a level-and-a-half a night, so at this rate it’d take me… until Thursday or so. Hmm.
