RPG Progress Report

What happened to Ys Seven, Erik? What happened?!

It's good, but then I started DSO and liked it more than Ys Seven. In fact, I finished the original Devil Survivor portion a few days ago. Just finishing up the added 8th day now.

Got the Phoenix Summon last night. Now it's time to head for the Void.

Chapter 12 in Fire Emblem! Holla. There is so much crap to do in this game, I keep getting sidetracked with the people you can recruit and whatnot.

[Ack]

Currently in Chapter 5 of Mega Man X Command Mission. There is a lot of side stuff to do in this game, and lots of unlockables. So I have lately wandered away from pushing through the story so I can instead focus on some of these things. I found an optional boss last night who wiped the floor with me though, so I guess I will need to get through a few more chapters to build up my characters.

I was kinda hoping this would be shorter, so I could get to 7th Saga that much faster.

This like a typical JRPG battle system?

[Ack]

Yes and no. I like MMXCM because while it does use a turn-based battle system, there's enough options to mean I don't repeatedly just hit fight over and over again. Instead I have weapons and subweapons to choose from, along with a weapon meter which decides if I have the power to use a subweapon but also shows how strong my big attack trigger is(which is unique for each character). I can defend or use energy tanks to heal if necessary, and if I don't want to attack(say because an enemy counters), I can still pull off a subweapon attack and then cancel out. And if I really get into trouble, each character can enter a hyper mode for new uber abilities. Plus, once you have three characters, you receive a special ability that allows all three characters to unload on an enemy without repercussion once they reach a certain percentage of their health.

So yeah, there are options. Lots of options. I rather like that I change tactics depending on the enemy or group of enemies I'm facing. It's refreshing from the "press X to attack" formula I'm used to.

Finished the extra 8th day in my Devil Survivor Overclocked play through. Added a good 12 hours to my time. Got Yuzu's bad ending because a character I needed for the good ending had already died. Whoops. Regardless of the ending, great game.

[TheSSNintendo]

Made it through the boss gauntlet in the Inter-dimensional Rift last night. Took about 3 or 4 tries to beat TwinTania.

I'm about halfway through Crisis Core now. And I'm so glad that it's gonna be a short game, cause so far I'm really getting bored with it. Mostly because I'm not enjoying the combat.

I dropped Fire Emblem for a bit so I could play some Guacamelee, I'll have to get back to it soon, or I will lose all my mad skills.
