Ah I've played Klonoa for the wii. It's a pretty short game, but Klonoa is a great game.
I also got the game today, but I have been watching Coraline and an anime.

Well I'm a big Klonoa fan, so I know the games aren't usually long by now lol. But anyways I was happy to get it. They need to make more, or someone needs to translate the RPG GBA Klonoa game so I can play it in English lol. There's some translation here and there on youtube but that's it.

Well I finished watching Coraline(was it supposed to be a childrens movie?!), so I am gonna play Demon's Soul. Before I head to bed I'll summarize what I think about it.
Edit:
Well I played it for a few hours and I have to say this: IT'S SO GOOD.
I've died a couple times already in just the first level. But don't worry about dying, it's not much of a big deal. Just go through it again and you'll be fine. Also, PLAY ONLINE. It really does enhance the gameplay. Not only that, but it makes things easier. You get warnings, messages, and the like. When you play the game, be cautious too. There are ambushes, traps, and sorts of things like that.
The music is great and fitting, the graphics are amazing. It's dark but not so dark I can't see a damned thing. There isn't much of a story to it that I see so far, but I am not too far into the game anyway. The game does have difficulty, but don't let it discourage you. Just learn from your mistakes and learn the level just like an old NES game. The ONLY flaw that I can really find so far, is the lack of a pause function. There is... none.
So instead you have to find a safe spot in case you have to pee or something like that.
When you start the game, be sure to get the cling ring. When you are in soul form, you only get to have 50% of your hp but with the ring it's 75%. When your in Soul form though: You can't have black phantoms(intruding characters who try to kill you) come into your game, increased strength, and enemies have a harder time seeing you. It really makes the 25% health loss worth it to me. Especially since healing items are so easy to find. Trust me, you'll be needing a LOT though. >_<;
The person whom said they didn't want to try the game because of the graphics, your really missing out.

You should at least give it a rent and try it.

What? Who wouldn't want to play this because of the graphics?! The graphics are beautiful <333
I created a pale green haired girl with white/gray-ish eyes named Sai and made her a magician. xD
I've died a bajillion times. But I'm finally almost to the boss(took a peek at a faq).
It's hell hard at parts, but every time I died I seemed to get a little further and things got a little easier. It's like really addicting and I probably really suck at the game. xD
I know the pausing thing is upsetting considering I have to take care of my bed ridden grandma and I found out the pause thing when she cried for me and I came back to the game, now I just go back to the areas with no enemies(I defeated them), or I find a safe place(or hope it's safe).
Don't forget to mention that there's only one save in the entire dungeon(from what I hear on other places)and if you die, you loose all the souls you collected and the enemies all re-spawn. And you start from that save point. You keep any items you collected(and wasted trying not to die once or twice in my case lol). But as long as you don't die again or leave you can go back to the area you died and click your own bloodstain and regain those lost souls.

There really isn't a save point. They have arch stones at the beginning and then where you fight the bosses. That is where you enter/exit the level. I'm having a heck of a time getting to the second boss/ beating him though. It would be SO much easier if I had some help.

Lol well that's what I call it, save point. Or maybe checkpoint is more like it since your warped there.
I'm taking a break from the game because today I went to a party. Maybe check a guide or faq if your in trouble? Did you see some of the reviews on gamespot and that one on gamefaqs? I admit I suck at the game but I don't go giving it a low score because it's hard yeesh.
Like your new set btw.
What's your class/character like?
Man I wonder if I can download the artbook somewhere. I would like to make icons or sets for this game xD

Really? I made the set myself.

I am new at making these so I thought others would think it too simple.
My character is a short-haired brunette wanderer. Specializes in combat, and has bad armor. However I've picked up a bow, lance, and catalyst so I can cast a fire spell I have. The problem I have with the area I am at, is that I have to take down 4 archers, THEN two armored knights. The ones that can kill you in two hits with ease. Even one if your not at peak condition. @_@
I know how to get through the game, and I managed to do the first level without a guide. It's that one part that gets me. >.o Hard game, but so great. The artbook is pretty lovely though isn't it? I looked through it and my sister didn't seem too impressed but I found it to be really beautiful.

Haven't played since last since I've been busy.
Hm...Well if it were for one armored knight I'd say just keep whacking him with spells then take out the archers. But two that's like major harsh.
Do you have a lot of those uh well I forget their names. xD
The bombs basically, maybe you could keep throwing those? Well no they have a shorter range the spells and those guys can be fast when they see you.
Do what I do in a tight spot? Try to draw one of the knights out, which would probably be hard. So if you think you could take two of them without the archers try drawing them out to another area away from the range of the archers then kill the knights then go kill the archers?
Don't see how anyone could think other wise about the art or graphics, they're really beautiful.

Yup 8D
I got it for my birthday which was on September 28. I've also got a wii, 360, DS and PSP. Those are newer console wise, I have older consoles too.

Ah, I take out the archers no problem. It's then that the knight rushes at me. I generally hold my sword with two hands and after he strikes and I dodge, I go in and beat him with the sword then back away and repeat. Problem is, if I back up too much I'll get scorched by the dragon. x3 I'll try it again later, I haven't played it much as of late either. I was able to get past that way once, I can do it again. >_<;
My sister pretty much didn't find it, "Pretty". Which it isn't really something in the aesthetic sense of beauty. But the art itself I found to be pretty. As you can see, what she looks for in art is rather shallow.

Everytime I find time to play it my kitty steals my chair that I sit in in front of the tv. She likes my chair. xD
My kitty is getting old so I'm trying not to push her out of the chair or pick her up and take her somewhere else as much as I used to. Just let her live her long life now. She still upsets me sometimes when grandma yells for me to feed her at like three am in the morning >_>
But other then that meh.
Well I'll have to see if I can find the artbook to coughdownloadcough. Till then I'll just have to find some Demon's Souls screens to make graphics out of. If there's a pic you want me to make an avatar or siggu out of just ask.
