Re: the rpg journal

I got a blue chocobo in FF7! Speed = 116.
 
Yeah, I know, no updates for awhile. I moved the thread to Off-Topic, since it's not really an RP-Story.

Anyway, I'm at the end of Kingdom Hearts II. I don't want to finish it, I'm afraid of what the ending will be like! (Even if the final dungeon is really cool lookin'.) I guess I'll just die trying to beat Sephiroth...about sixty more times.

Seriously. 15 Health Bars?

Well actually, here's a Holystar video of someone beating Sephiroth:

You know I'm 'Burning Inside with Violent Anger".

I hate Filefront too. ;)
 
*Uses Fresh Sage on thread*

This must be my...fifth? time through Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Unfortunately, I'm too much of a wimp to play on Universe mode, but Galaxy doesn't seem all that difficult. =/ Ah well. I've been collecting all the 'Beat so-and-so in one minute/ w/o taking damage' trophies as well as others I just got on accident. Up to 50% in the BTs! I now have 3P costumes, though the only worthwhile one is Fate's that looks like Claude. Other than that...I prefer the 2P costumes I've gotten.

I beat Sephiroth a long time ago, and played a new game on Proud Mode. I want to try and beat Sephiroth at the lowest level possible on Proud Mode when I get to him, though I'm all burned out on KHII as it is. Maybe I'll pick it up again some other time.

Although, in good news, money! I'm going to try to get Valkyrie Profile, and if I have enough, Star Ocean: The Second Story. I'll be able to die happily then. :P

Edit: How the hell do I beat the rocket freak and the guy with purple lip gloss in under a minute...ugh. I even have Dimension Door already. :(
 
Yay! Now have all the main-game 1 minute/w/o damage trophies. Now I'm in Sphere Company again, and I'm going to get the no damage/defeat in 10 minutes Lenneth trophy. (I love Blazing Pendant.)

Finished Valkyrie Profile. Now I have to beat Iseria Queen like three more times to get the Angel Slayer, and collect the funny Books of Riddles.

"You are still doing this? Unlike Star Ocean, you can only get to Level 99..."

"I can't wait for Dragon Quest VII to come out..."

"You've beaten the game four times? You really must find something else to do.."

Unfortunately, I must beat the game yet again to get the A Ending, and max out my characters, etc, then we should be done with Valkyrie Profile.

Hmm..I should totally get Star Ocean: The Second Story and try beating the final boss without the Limiter thingy on. (I hear he's the ultimate challenge, that way.)

I love tri-Ace.
 
Hm, well I haven't tried the super bosses of Star Ocean 3, but I can personally vouch for that Indalecio Limiter Off and Iselia Queen in Star Ocean 2 are very very very difficult. On Earth mode. There is an easier version of Iselia Queen that you face at the end of the Cave of Trials who only has 1 million HP and doesn't hit as hard, I've beaten that, but I fall short on the real Iselia Queen and Indalecio Limiter Off. I haven't really tried that hard to beat them, only ever leveled as high as levels ~180 or so, I guess I'm too scared to try my best and then fail :)

On a side note, I did beat Indalecio Limiter Off and Iselia Queen on Universe mode... but that was of course using the Bloody Armor trick (you wont take any damage from enemies while wearing them, but your life is sucked out fast, you need to heal constantly), so it doesn't count. It was just for a laugh :p
 
Yay! You replied. And I was wondering about that Bloody Armour, you mentioned it a long time ago. I'm so glad SO2 isn't very expensive, I need to get a copy too.

And you should give the SO3 optionals a shot someday Shadow! (Eek, alliteration.) They'll definitely give you a run for your money, well, without tricks. (Which...seems alot like your trick for SO2.) There's even the spiffy essentially 111 floor bonus dungeon, along with the standard 'Cave of Trials' dungeon. And a dungeon put in the Director's Cut (which english versions of the game pretty much are), which has a special colour puzzle and bosses depending on the ending you get. It's really quite fun, and challenging.

Chibi Lenneth = cuteness. :D
 
Well. I just entered the Northern Crater to get the goodies down there. And some Magic Pots! Now I'm half way through it and I've gone up 8 levels and almost all of my equiped materia has gained a star! Emerald'll be easy after this! :p

Also I found a "new materia" meaning one that I didn't know exsisted. Its a Counter Materia except it is not a purple materia. It's blue! It lets you counter with anything so now If something attacks me I hit back with a Bahamut Zero automatically! I've never found it before because its hidden in a very stricky spot. In the room where you get W-Magic there is a bright light in the center. Walk around until you get to the South edge of the light and hit circle. Now you have a very cool counter materia.

The only RPG I've played recently was on FFnet.
 
Yay! Well, now that we ordered SO2, and found Final Fantasy Tactics (albeit in a cracked case), we should be busy. Still haven't gotten to Lenneth again yet. But I saved over the file with the Metal Pipe. xD I was just too lazy to go beat up Albel eight more times I suppose. (And the refining...ugh.) Next game's team: Maria/Nel/Peppita or maybe Roger. I never use Souffle or Roger, and I want to try out different teams. (I'll probably never use Adray though. Anyone slower than Maria when they have Bunny Shoes on isn't worth using. ><; )

Yay! I love Hamedo.
 
Heh, yeah the voice acting can be pretty damn poor at times (and downright annoying in some cases, like with Precis..), but it didn't bother me too much. At least it's only in the battles, and not in all dialogue :)
 
Seeing as I just got stuck in a dungeon anyway...*tries to get Precis*

Strangely, and annoying "I'm 17 but I sound like a five-year old" anime stereotype doesn't bug me as much as the others.

Ashton sounds okay...but he sounds kinda like Luke Skywalker sometimes. (I don't know either.)

Rena: see above.

Bowman: Ew.

Claude: Meh. He sounds downright retarded sometimes, but I can live with it.

Precis: Yet to be heard. Will prepare for the worst.

Leon: Huh? Do all Kitty spellcasters sound like robots?

Chisato: I look forward to her voice. ("And that's how the monsters ceased to exist!" xD)

Opera and Ernest: Apparently I can't get them in this playthrough. It was worth it, I mean, it's Ashton!

Noel: Don't have him yet. But he's also a kitty! I think...

Celine: Heh, this one is actually alright. Although you'd think she's sound like some New-Yorker or something ("Darling!"). Some of her spells get repetitive when cast every two seconds. (Disables all but Energy Arrow)

Dias: I think I have to choose Rena to get him, but from what I heard, he sounds all right.

Which reminds me...

"Thank you. You were more than I expected."

"But you killed me in three successive attacks!"

"Maybe we will see eachother again..."

"Were you even listening?!"

I think that's all the main characters...I think.

Still, I won't let the annoying voice acting get in the way of enjoying the game, even if I just figured out how to invent items yesterday. (_L_; ) Heh, and this funny bug where I kept jumping through the battle field over and over again. xD Luckily, I just waited and it stopped. That was weird.
 
You see kids, Chisato is so powerful, she knows a style of martial arts that doesn't even exist on her planet! Amazing!

I had to restart from my Eluria Tower save to continue, because I got stuck on the Field of Power. (Not doing that again until later...) My ATK sucked and was barely over 1000, so there just wasn't a way to win. (Ran out of healing items, etc...)

So...gonna level up more! *gets Noel and Chisato again*

I'm also never letting Chisato run out of MP....*shudders* But wow, her KM's hit alot. 0_o;
 
I beat Ultima Weapon in FFII: Soul of Rebirth... I found Wyvern's Lance... and I powered Up my characters so I can go deep inside Pandaemonia dead version
 
Try and get all the 'Ultimate' Weapons for each character, even though it is tough. (Joseph has the Bracer, Scott has the Red Rose, etc.). You have to fight a 'Dead' version of each Pandaemonium Boss, but it's worth it. (Although, if you beat Ultima Weapon, you have the patience to do anything probably. :p )
 
Okay, we finally got past the three Wise Men at the entrance. That was pretty irritating. So I just put Claude in the S Rank Duel Arena, and used Sword Bomber to snipe at the enemies tougher than him. And...we got Mirror Slice! It kicks utter ass! I still won't use it on tough enemies up close, they have status effects often...

I think we'll be okay for the final dungeon...I hope.
 
And, no as it turns out.

"SPICULE!! iT's SO HOT oH HO HOHO!" 0_o;

Me: "SHUT UUUUUP!!"

Unfortunately, there is no attack called 'shut up'. Only my team, dying by constant spiculing, mind/blood sucking, and being turned to stone...so...

The one solution to every RPG: Level up! (Well, except FFVIII, but that was an exception.) I'm going to beat up those things that give 40,000 Exp. (With being split between four people, that is.)

What the hell is a 'spicule' anyway? And are the final bosses so frustrating? And this is just the normal mode...><;

Yeah it's great.. until you get to higher difficulties and/or Cave of Trials where enemies will tend to block one the first few hits and thus causing the whole attack to fail. You'll understand what I mean if you see it being blocked mid-execution. Very annoying. Works absolutely great in Eartj mode and for the normal game :)

And you're far from the first to have troubles with Spicule lol. I had huge problems with that on my first time through as well. Took many tries before I beat them, after scrounching up as much fire resistance as I could possible get my hands on with the limited item creation knowledge I had then :)

The next (and 2nd to last) boss after Vesper and Decus is a lot easier IMO. Indalecio is not to be laughed at, even with his limiter on and on Earth mode. I'm not sure I should spoil you, but he has some very hard hitting spells. I was continuously wiped out by his Earthquake spell (hitting the entire party for 9999 damage and I had nothing with Earth resistance, basically) on my first game. And that's far from the worst thing he can do. You have been warned :)
