I should get back to PE1 sometime. I... ... ... am very easily distracted.

Anyway I killed Sword Dancer 3 in ToS. Dirk still won't let me make figurines. I'm still missing a lot of costumes.

You're going to need a lot of playthroughs to nab all the costumes since there are three events where you can get them but only the characters that participate in them gets the costumes and the titles ,and there's only enough room for two or three characters per event (and each event offers a different costume).

This seems so familiar. Maybe this has all happened before....

...or maybe its this.

One character will always specialize in swords since they are the best weapon in the game (hello blood swords). The other two characters will end up with different weapons since swords are already taken. The best thing to do is just to leave the main characters with their default weapon types since axes are alright and bows will eventually come in elemental flavors (just around the same time as those Flan type enemies show up).

Also enemy AI is set up so that they will attack the softest target first and foremost. I had Firoin with a shield and Maria in the back with a bow which left Gus with his hand-me-down armor (you seriously don't really need to buy anything until you get to the dreadnought aside from a life spell scroll) to take all the damage and end up with over 3000 hp by Mystida whereas Firoin had 700 hp and Maria had 400 hp (and yes with this build I had Maria as my dedicated Black Magic user and the other two subbing White and Support magics).

From what I remember though you still stat-up pretty quickly when you switch regions

That was the crux of my last post. The only time that this isn't true is before Kas'on when the changes between regional enemies is so insignificant that the characters won't gain that much in stats. The only reason why that isn't apparent until later is due to how low your initial stats are and how small the increments really are.

When I first played FF2 I did what everyone else did and spent hours grinding in the beginning areas by whacking myself until I thought I was strong enough to take on the next area. I stopped that run around Deist when I was getting my ass kicked all over the place and like so many other files at the time the run vanished into the aether. At the end of 08 I decided to try again but without the excessive grinding or any grinding at all and I made it all the way past mystida before getting sidetracked by a PS2, 10 games that I could finally play that I couldn't before, plus 30 others all within the space of a month, and then finally getting challenged to a playthru of Beyond the Beyond (also school and an impending time limit) (also also about 50 other games sitting in my backlog while I'm thinking about it).

I never had a problem with it in FF2, except when it came to levelling up magic. As far as attack spells go, just giving one to each character and having everyone double as a mage and a fighter works fine. For attack spells. levelling up stuff like esuna and uh... some of the less-commonly used spells is a pain, though. Essentially stuff like barrier is rendered a tad bit useless since its success rate is hard to get decent, and esuna doesn't cure anything common till the higher levels. So basically I quit playing FF2 because "useless status attacks" is one of my things that'll make me quit playing a game.

Honestly, ff2 is one of the easier FFs I've played, and I never grinded in it or did that attacking yourself trick. You kind of hit a point where nothing actually hurts you and you kill everything in one hit, and it happens pretty early on. You stop actually gaining HP at this point but it doesn't really matter because you're sort of invincible anyway.

That's not entirely true though since once you change to a more dangerous region the enemies become a threat until you close the gap in stats since your stats will not grow much further than a level comparable with the enemies in your area. This is thanks to the fact that those enemies in the old region can't do anything to you anymore making it pointless to fight them since you're tearing through the enemy rather than using and developing more stats (unless you take the opportunity to grind in their presence which is kinda like cheating).

Also FF2's enemy difficulty curve is set very low for the first third of the game. It's not until you reach Kas'on Castle (or whatever its called) that you'll see any real change in enemy difficulty level.

Just watched a bit of both Bakemonogatari and Needless. The former is pretty good but damn is it hard to find good subs for. The later...uhn...it's kinda like...uhn...A Lame Shonen I guess...
Code:
plus an ending that will get you arrested if shown in public (I mean WTFH did I just watch 0.o).

I've seen worse translations. Far worse. Far, far worse.

How far did you get? It's mostly not too bad, but some bits are just completely incomprehensible, like Liz and Ard.

WA 2 had some bad spots but nothing to the extent of the original FFT translation or the abomination of English of Ar Tonelico II.  And besides, WA 2 was a pretty darn awesome game.

And then there's Chaos Wars. :(

I hate my PSXes. They die faster than a red shirt on a Star Trek away mission. :(

The latest PSX death occurred earlier today while I was playing Beyond the Beyond. I had just returned to the last overworld town after polishing off the boss guarding the passage to the abyss. At least it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been (i.e. I made two runs on the previous dungeon (the first time ended when my last prepromote reached level 30 and had to be class changed now I have myself a level 7 captain) and either run could've ended in disaster considering how goddamn insane that afore mentioned dungeon was).

Also the monk is a lie.


Cleared 136 missions in FFTA2 with class masteries for...
Soldier x 2
Thief x 1
Fighter x 3
Elementalist x 1
Sniper x 1
Juggler x 1
I have only one entry on the second page.

She just has to move away once it becomes public, and start anew.

Even if she moves she'll still smell like decaying vagina hotdog :(

What that girl really needs to do is to work on her vaginal muscles.

Btw, is he still dead? I haven't heard the news say anything about him in over an hour. I figure something must be going horribly wrong for them to stay silent for so long.

He's making a joke about how one of your airships in the game looks like one of the Angels from Evangelion.

Fuck you Gen don't you go making me want to play Golden Sun Z*/*/*/*/*/ Beyond the Beyond.

Don't worry. It only looks like an EVA Angel from the outside. Inside its got an Egyptian Pyramid motif going on.

Btw, Gen did meeting that princess before getting the class change screw me over or do I still have a chance at recruiting her?

Also I went and beat Tetris DS while I was waiting at the doctors yesterday.

Now if you were a female looking to LARP then I would also suggest Lighting Warrior Raidy 1 (& 2 once it comes out) for your female on female role-playing needs.

Also get Rapelay quick since Japan's cracking down on it after some British football mums bitched.


On the topic at hand, games that get you exercising do work because people tend to be attracted to physically attractive people; typically, looking like a blob of jelly isn't the way to impress the ladies/guys.  Unless they're into that sort of thing...

Fortunately there are plenty of people out there like that (too many if you ask me). D8

And while we're on the topic of disturbing fetishes, get Water Closets 1 & 2. Teaches you how to turn women into makeshift latrines which is useful if you're into that sort of thing (also camping).

I must be missing something when it comes to the title of this game.  Riz-zoawd?  Is this like an American McGee Wizard of Oz that takes place in the ghetto?  I think it's hilarious...

edit: so it's an anagram of 'wizard' and 'oz' .  I still can't help but laugh, imagining the yellow brick road and thinking "Rizzoad!"

It could be worse. They could've called it 'The Wizz' or 'The Wizard'.
