Of Time Warps and Spoony Bards

Amonst various things, I got the Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV for Christmas. Been playing a bit and enjoying it so far, and I was glad to see that Tellah's "Spoony bard" line was still in the updated script (he said more after that than I remember, but his quintisential quote was unchanged) - I rather suspect that a lot of long-time fans would have been disappointed had it not been there. I've actually been having a slight bit of a disconnect while playing the DS FF IV. It sounds pretty much exactly how I remember it, but it looks different, even if map layouts are the same. That aside, been liking the remake thus far.

And speaking of time warps, I also got the DS port of Chrono Trigger. It seems to be more or less the same as the SNES version (with some added content), but I'm looking forward to delving into it once FF IV and my replay of FF X-2 are finished. Chrono Trigger is probably the game I've played through the most times, easily one of my favourite RPGs, so, w00t!

That's all for now.
