Decided to test out the Vita's PS1 emulation by playing a bit more of Final Fantasy IX. Had a bit of a kurfuffle with my attempts to switch discs - turns out I had to hold the touch screen, thanks for never even hinting how to do such a thing Sony - it played quite nicely.
I'm onto disc 2 at the moment:

Honestly, so far I'm finding it pretty eh. The combat has some interesting ideas but is too jerky, stick and unresponsive to use them well. I'm hoping it's just something that has to click with me, or gets better when I'm not playing as snotty kids.
Speaking of the story so far is terrible, well not the story so much as that has been largely non-existent. But the characters, oh my god, the characters. Okay so, I guess the theme of the game is bonds of friendship and I can see why they'd have you play as the MC as a child, but my god he's a brat, his brothers a wuss and robot girl can feck off. Anime cancer girl is pretty bad as well.
The only thing so far that I think is pretty awesome is the cute new pop-ups skits have. I also picked up 2 cards with previous game characters (Stahn is the only one I recognise though) but all that did was make me wish I was playing Tales of Destiny instead.

Out of the childhood arc on Tales of Graces f characters are still pretty terrible but the combat has improved massively. The only complaint I really have about it is the long ass hitstun you get whenever you're hit. This on top of the fact the game has a separate stun condition. If you're hit there's a good chance you're totally fucked if facing multiple enemies.

The Last Story: Only the introduction so far... if until the fourth chapter you can call it intro. It goes fast, heh. I don't have much of an opinion of it yet. I enjoyed the battle system. Something tells me that I will be abusing of that magnetism ability.
Pokémon White: Finally started this. I won the second badge. Slowly progressing and leveling up mons. It's pokémon, so I don't have much to say. Unlike others games, I can't stand the designs of the Pokémon in this one, they're so... anyway, great soundtrack this time, Diamond/Pearl soundtrack was the weakest for me.
