Agarest and Phantasy Star Online 2 Rundown

A bit of an impulsive action by me but after playing Agarest, Generations of War (A challenge by other NGI member Frost), I wanted to talk about why the game is so bad in general and also throw in me and other people's experiences playing Phantasy Star Online 2. IT's not really informative, but it's a good laugh about how we feel about modern day JRPGs, check it out if your bored.
