RPGFan Game Journal MXVII: Crisis Atelier Spectral Moon III

[Sketch]

I played Eternal Poison, like, all day. =P

Code:

I more or less completed the final Stratum with Thage, and got the crappy ending since I didn't catch all of the Majin. I don't know whether I want to replay through this game a kajillion times just for the good ending, but if each character's ending is as bad as the one I got, then I might just have to. That wasn't even an ending, and I totally felt cheated out of my twelve hours.

I started up Ashley's story and am about to enter the second stratum. It feels a heck of a lot easier than Thage's story, but only time will tell.

I also got another PS1 memory card, finally! Now I can start up all those old school RPGs once I finish up with EP.

Been playing Assassin's Creed and P4 lately. I'm trying to focus what I play so I put P3: Fes and Prince of Persia on hold until I beat the other two. Otherwise, both are rather enjoyable.

Played around in DQ4 for a bit but didn't do much other than get money for my dudes to get revived, then headed to Zamoksva, because my batteries are ranning out.

SMT:I is nice and all but it's hard getting that Leader Fairy when there are 20 other guys either trying to befriend or kill it.

Thinking about playing either SMT1, one of the old Devil Children games, or Raidou Kuzunoha. Or Innocent Sin.

Also what the hell Atlus is releasing Ys 1 and 2 for the DS. C'mon. Let's bug 'em for SMT1 and 2 ports.

Not that I'm sure why I care because I already have both but whatever.

I have this theory that if every game for the DS is either Magical Horse Fairies or something published by Atlus, Atlus will make money.

Played P4 for about an hour. Still early in the game, just did the first two battles. People weren't lying about the long exposition.

Exact same thing for me.  I'm really enjoying it though, the intro is pretty lengthy but the pacing is excellent and the plot is really holding my attention.

Lisa's dad is the adult version of everything folks here mock/loathe about young otaku Japanophiles.  That dude has severe identity issues.  Although Yukino does make a good point during one exchange with Lisa's dad.  Lisa's dad's dismayed that Seventh High is doing a western style school dance when he'd rather they do Nichibu.  Yukino then comments that sometimes it's the foreigners who appreciate a nation's cultural traditions more than its own inhabitants do. 

Anyway, I've put Persona 4 on hold to play Eternal Eden.  EE's an indie RPG by Blossomsoft, and so far it's pretty darn good.  Indie RPG fans should definitely at least check out the demo.

I've played Persona 4 for about 15 hours now. Still loving the game so far, although I think the pacing is getting worse as I progress. I also played some Last Remnant, and I am at a boss I simply can't beat

Code:

Hell's Gate. My battle rank is 41 and I can get it into low health (blinking red) but I can never finish it off. I was battle rank 34 the first time I tried, and I've done battles in between trying 5 times to rank up, and still can't beat the dang thing. I'm using 3 unions with 5 people a piece in them and 2 leaders per union. How did anyone else beat it?

I haven't had many opportunities to play games lately, but now that school's out, I'm loving all this extra time I've got. I play another six hours or so in Eternal Poison. I'm about three battles (two maps) away from finishng up Ashley's story. It's been ridiculously easy compared to Thage's story the entire way through.

I'll finish her story up after the Survivor finale is over. =P

[Tooker]

Finally started up Last Remnant, and also Ratchet & Clank on the PSP.  Was an idiot and didn't save before the first real fight in Last Remnant like the game warned me to do, so I died from terminal screwing around.  Hooray for skippable cut-scenes!

Ratchet & Clank is fun.  I don't care when I die... it's just a fun diversion.  Nice change.

Glad to see other R&C fans on here! I loved that game (even with it's awkward camera).

More Persona 4.

Code:

Fought Chie's shadow and kicked its ass.

My main gripe of the game is attacking shadows. The timing is way different than P3's, so I always end up attacking too early, and then the enemy always has the advantage.

I agree with this. I keep getting destroyed by it. I guess they felt it was too easy in P3... which it was.

At last, I'm free from school and I've rejoined the workforce.  I had money to finally get an HDTV and an XBox 360.   So what am I playing?  Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World on the Wii.  Well I'm playing that and The Last Remnant on the 360.  Both games got bad reviews, but I'm enjoying them.  Actually, I think I enjoy being able to play games more than the games themselves.

I've been playing the Link to the Past port for GBA, currently in Ganon's Tower. I will conquer this game, tonight hopefully.

[Jet16]

I've also been playing a lot of P4. It's really fucking great. Otherwise, I pllayed some Banjo Kazooie on XBLA. Man, that brought back so many memories. I can't wait for Tooie to come on to it as well, this has also made me more interested in new Banjo. I'm probably gonna play some Assassin's Creed to finish up the day.
