    Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Dec. 8)

    Updates actually take all night and rarely finish until the afternoon the following day for EU players.

    If you want a real inconvenience how about having to sleep fully clothed every night for the past week and a half because the radiators in my dorm block cut off during the night? How about being stuck sitting around for two weeks because you caught measles off a someone in the dorm and you still haven't been medically cleared to start going back to lectures or work because your doctor lives in another county? How about having to take a train across 2 different counties just to see said doctor? How about not being paid for two weeks sound because you work as a part time chef and you can't legally work in that industry without clearence if you catch something contagious and you haven't been cleared by your doctor? How does being fucking credit blacklisted because your sister stole your ID so sign up to some catalogue service and failed to pay the bills sound? How about having to call the bank and ask for permission to buy ANYTHING with my bank card instead of cash?

    I'd post more stuff that right now inconveniences me more than not being able to play a video game that I pay a subscription fee to play but I dislike bringing up my real life problems into forums full of strangers who don't and really shouldn't have to care about or listen other people's RL problems.

    Dunno about the EU date for P4, but SE is publishing it for Atlus in EU territories. PS2 still has some life left in it, after Devil Summoner 2, there probably won't be much left to look forward to RPG-wise.
    We only got Persona 3 PES more or less last month or the month before and we're STILL waiting for Disgaea 3. SE frankly sucks with EU release dates especially when they're publishing games by other devs and especially when they always release an improved version of any game they release with a crapton of bonus content a few weeks later in Japan. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if P4 came out some in the UK some time after P5 comes out in the US.

    And everyone knows that the next-gen consoles (are we still calling them that?) still lack any sort of good RPG not called "Oblivion" or "Fallout". Which is why people still buy RPGs on the PS2. Though Fable 2 was fun even if the main quest was shorter than the original's. Lucky they actually gave you incentives to replay that game otherwsie I would have taken it back to the store for a refund.

      Are we daring to call Oblivion and Fallout 3 "good?" Its a word I hesitate to use in association with Bethesda.

      If their Quality Assurance matched their ambition, they'd be unstoppable. Sadly. they lack the former.

        I tend to mod the crap out of the PC versions of Elder Scrolls games so I can just take out the stuff I don't like. Like level scaling. Or Ciff Racers.

          Then I'm definately not everyone! I've been enjoying Folklore, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Valkyrie Chronicles, and a few more that I can't remember right now.

            I'd play ToV if my 360 would actually load a game without grinding a trench into the disc and promptly give me a disc read error.

            And I still haven't played Folklore so in all fairness I don't know if I like it or not

              Yes, I travel through space, time, and alternate dimensions often, so it's kinda tricky to track me down. This has the drawback of seeing updates happening already, but not being at the right time to download them, but I can still play during maintenance (). Weirdness of the Nth degree, I know, but it happens.
              HAHAHAHAHAHA Well played!

              I find it hard to feel sorry for you being that you are in Japan! I would give anything to go there once before the long sleep. LOL So when is the update for you guys? During the late evening/early morning?

                  Yeah, they're usually the late night/early morning of the day in question, right around the time Japan normally goes to bed (well, the day walkers of Japan, anyway). Since I work during that time, it doesn't affect me, alongside most of Japan, so most Japanese never see maintenance blocks.

                  Yes, that is kinda fucked up for Americans and Europeans that they gotta get hit with it, but in a game that has three regions that play it, the maintenance has to get done sometime, and some are gonna get off scott free, and others are gonna get hit.

                      I need to get back on D3, I was playing it so tough when I took a break from FFXI. But that's one of those games where if you're gonna put it down for awhile, you should write down where you left off. Otherwise you'll come back and have to try to remember what you were doing.

                        My new PS3 came today! W00T! I can finally play my D3 now! Tried to play it downstairs but with screaming grandchildren and their mother constantly yelling/annoying me, it just was not working.

                        So W00000000T, still no one complaining about error msgs yet! I know its early but YAY! So just to repeat this.....

                        Waiting a while could mean TILL THE NEXT DAY in some cases. Please note this and do not make thread after thread about how you FFXI is broken because your download cancels/won't start. Thank you. This has been a moderator sanity request message.

                          Does it count if I keep getting POL-1300 error messages every couple of % into the download?
