Thanks for the welcomes! I feared for a moment that I had joined an inactive forum. Glad to see there are definitely people about!
I am very English yes, hence the colourful vocab possibly? I'm told I'm weird by my fellow countrymen regardless.
Dunno why you'd be be interested in this biz but here we go anyhow. I am 22, my real name's Daisy, which obviously means I am the manliest amongst muscley men. You couldn't make this stuff up. Aaaaand uh... I LOVE LEGAIA SO MUCH I MIGHT JUST DIE (excuse the cruise control). The first one at least, I seriously can't remember Legaia 2 all that well, hence the aim to play it again over summer once uni's done. I think Legaia was my first proper JRPG before getting into Final Fantasy and the usual suspects. So feelin' all the love for that game.
30-100 bucks though! That's some almost dedication right there.

What did you do in the end? I got lucky with my copy and found a second-hand game store selling it on the cheap, though I think I paid a stupid amount for the strategy guide.
