RPG Progress Report

I'm at the final bits of content in La-Mulana. The final battle is ready for me to do (I just gotta get the earlier phases patterns down a bit better so I don't just instantly die on the much longer 5th phase), and I've also done all the weird bollox to unlock the Hell Temple. It's not so bad, so far, but I'm at a puzzle that involves throwing bombs a VERY specific way, and it's givin' me quite a load of shit Xp

How do y'all like "triggers" in old RPGs.

I'm playing Xak (demigod tier ARPG) and recently completed a fire palace. I couldn't get up to the third floor at first. There's no visible obstacle, the game simply informs you that going up isn't allowed. To proceed you have to extinguish a fire on the first floor. This is done by "talking" to it multiple times. But this can't be done until a vial of medicine is found in the palace and taken to a certain NPC.

The third floor has a boss. But this boss can't be fought unless a dragon ring is possessed. This is found on the first floor of the palace, but you need your bunny item equipped to sniff it out. But even then it won't appear unless you're level 25 and have spoken to a specific NPC first.



I love this game though. Pure Ys-like ARPG sexiness. Dat music too.

That's what happens when you don't communicate your triggers well enough. Always frustrating, and along the lines of stuff you see in adventure games sometimes. Or in a Phoenix Wright game.

I'm pretty far in Sorcery! 4. I'm very close to beating the game. The final part of this game is pretty damn difficult though, I'm stuck right now trying to figure out how to kill the final boss basically.

As an added bonus, the game is in Japanese. Forgot to mention that!

Well, when you get to Xak III, there's a translation patch for that.

This is why you don't use punctuation in titles; it makes sequel numbering look silly.

Even worse is the title "Bubble Witch 3 Saga." Why isn't it Bubble Witch Saga 3?

I agree. But in Inkle's defense, the original books were named as such:

So they were just staying true to tradition.
