Nickel Film 7

4 Heroes of Light is starting to get on my nerves. It's a cool games, and I like the job system they use (although I usually don't like job systems), but they keep on splitting my party. At the start of the game, all 4 characters are together, but then they split into pairs, and then all go their own ways. They meet up with each other every now and then, but walking around as 1 solo character does not make for fun gameplay in an RPG.

At least they don't taunt you with other characters in battles that you don't control, like Final Fantasy 12 and 13. Battles are the gameplay in RPG's. You don't play RPG's because you like to roam around towns talking to NPC's. Taking in the scenery and local color is a nice break from battles, but when you're going back into gameplay, that's what it's all about. The most important element to an RPG is a fun battle system.

Ryan returns for this week's episode. He and I give our Top 5 Vampire Characters in movies, chat about horror and slasher genres, and review The Social Network.
