I lost count, because of stuff I spent on unofficial stuff such as polymer clay to sculpt figures of her, stuff like that. I picked up digital art kinda because of her too. But I think everything I've spent on her is around $4000...? I got scalped really hard for some items because I was late in starting to collect, only around mid 2013.
It's a common question.
Eh? Chigaimasu. Nihon ima wa asa ja arimasen... kawarini yoru desu. Konbanwa!

Regarding the discussion going on about difficulty, I advice on avoiding playing the game on easy mode as well, it really makes the game more flat than it already is.

I don't think the FF13 series is as hated as people think. Look at how many people are planning to buy the game in this thread as a "goof" or as if it's their duty to get FF15 on PC (which is going to happen either way).
The gameplay and battle system are awesome (though I don't like the costume change aspect at all), but yeah, the story is like fan fiction. I enjoyed 13 and 13-2's story, but LR's isn't motivating me to finish that one.

Well, we both really like Tales games and My Little Pony. So I think that's so amazing. I think that's an amazing wonderful thing to have in common with someone. I always wanted to meet other My Little Pony fans who like Tales.
I'm so happy that having Tales on Steam makes other people excited, too.

Please stop doing this
Why would that be funny exactly?
No, it would not.
I have absolutely no doubt that the community will provide an undub for those who want it at some point. The question is, how good will it be, specifically with lipsync etc. I suppose it depends on many things we don't know about yet.
Personally I don't care, English dub all the way. Even if Vanille is unbearable.

NO. Don't let this possibility enter my mind.
Ah.
Auto Battle is far from being efficient, when you take into account attack animations and stats, you are better off manually picking the abilities yourself. Besides why would you complain about the passivity of a battle system but at the same time willingly stay in it when you have the option not to. Auto Battle is the default command because they want to hold your hand in the beginning I guess, I switched it to manual immediately because that way it was much more engaging and it allowed you to optimize damage done, have more control over your ATB bar spending and by consequence shorten the length of battles.
So no, there is more to it than changing paradigms, unless you willingly commit yourself to that handicap for whatever reason.

I think someone told me it was based on a post I made where I said it seemed like to me that some of the... um.. more sexual jokes in some Japanese video games were a cultural difference.
Because it seems like lots of cartoons for boys and girls in Japan have sex jokes in them. I like a lot of shows that were made for little girls like My Little Pony and Ojamajo Doremi.
And it was a common joke that Oyajide is kind of, well, "ecchi" n' stuff.
I think that's where people told me I got my tag from. Maybe I shouldn't have made generalizations about Japanese culture like that. I mean, anime and Japanese culture aren't the same thing. But I don't know many characters in American cartoons for kids that are like Oyajide.
Nothing stands close to English Caius.
But having an option would have been super nice.
Oh, I agree, definitely. It's just more money for SE. Easy money, so why not? Just saying it's not the usual case with Japanese gaming/anime. XIII has a good dubbing.

A user on Steam pointed out that this might not be a port.
http://www.joystiq.com/2014/09/17/final-fantasy-13s-new-portal-page-has-a-steam-logo
"Let's not forget, when we developed the Final Fantasy 13 series, all three titles, at the early stages of development we were working on PC," Kitase told Eurogamer. "Then we had to port it to the consoles. As far as the technology is concerned, it would have been possible for us to make a PC version, but we decided against it for two reasons: We looked at the market situation and we didn't think it would be a good idea, and also it would have involved lots of complex issues like security. So we decided not to do it this time around."
This means that Square has decided that the market situation is good on PC now.

All the mouth movements of the game from the prerendered cutscenes to the real time gameplay is based on english. Good luck with modding all that out
This doesn't mean unfortunately there existed a finalized version of Windows-based code.

No if you're going to buy hardly anything. I do have Drive Club Plus edition and Wasteland 2 on my plate.
Maybe, but it did mean the job was already half done
So buying this even though I consider FFXIII and XIII-2 a low point for the series. If it encourages other Japanese/RPG/AAA developers to release titles on PC, great. Despite the criticism of this trilogy, if they're available sub $20, they are no brainers.
In all honesty, XIII isn't a terrible game. The battle system is superb. The story and pacing are horrible though.
XIII-2 is a trainwreck of a story but excellent gameplay, so... I accepted I had no idea what was going on and just enjoyed the battle system.
Never tried LR.

Well, it is kind of true that the PC market is better.
When Final Fantasy was released I've heard that the PC gaming market wasn't doing very well. But now that Steam has millions of people and is growing all the time, now is the best time ever to support the PC.
That must be why so many Japanese developers are supporting the PC. I hope things keep getting better and better.

With Tales of Vesperia being my favorite Tales game, the thought of it coming out on Steam, combined with that I use my 360 as a decorative piece on what not to buy, makes me extremely happy.
Not just Tales or FF though, I'd love even more console jrpgs to come out on Steam. Resonance of Fate, Star Ocean, just give em to me.
In 2009, Steam had 25 million active monthly users. Currently, Steam has around 85-100 million active monthly users.
Insane.
Keep in mind that total accounts will be significantly higher, but people these are users who own a game and log in every month.

Yeah, every single game that's developed starts on the PC first. doesn't mean it's optimized for it, though. I wouldn't put too much weight into that comment.
More than likely, they'll probably use the 360 code (since that's direct X and thus much easier to port than the PS3 version) and then plug in the CG from the PS3 version.
AFAIK, the only things that the 360 version suffered from was a lower resolution, occasional framerate issues, and compressed CG videos. The first two issues are easily fixed by bringing the game to PC, and the third issue just requires that they use the PS3 videos. Done.

True, however for me just having a timer counting down is enough to rush through the game. I want to do things at my own pace at my own regard. I don't want to feel pushed due to some idiotic time limit that was implemented because the story couldn't provide the sense of urgency alone.
Time limits in games was the reason why I never played Dead Rising 1, 2 heck I've never played Majoras Mask as well. Dead Rising 3 not having a real time limit was amazing for me.
The... game is on sale now.

I see my two most likely candidates for Game of the Year, so uh... best month of the year probably.
One of those is Civ, right?
