   Been in there, it was nice. Cyrille was about six or seven levels behind   
   Toma a few chapters back, and that made the fortress battles harder than   
   they should have been. Dropped a few core metal orbs into the dungeon and   
   got her caught up real quick.

   Seeing as how you've finished the game, can you explore and run through   
   the training dungeon once you beat the final boss? I imagine this is like   
   other Sega games where the game world allows you to come back in and keep   
   playing even after you win, but I don't want to keep working towards the   
   last chapter unless that's true.

   I'm not so sure. If Sony is up to its old tricks, then they might put the   
   kibosh on further PS2 releases if they think it'll ramp up interest in the   
   PS3. It nearly happened with the transition away from the original   
   Playstation, except that the last round of games was so good that they had   
   to let them through. Here's hoping they see the light, or at least loosen   
   up the release rules a little.   
      
   -KKC, wonders why it's so quiet around here lately. RGVS is the Kendrick   
   and Eiji show, with permanent guest host Bel. :)
