Do you want advice on equipment for him or want to go at it alone.

Actually don't you have to have a certain equipment set to win?

[ksloth]

I have the correct equipment set, I just have a problem dodging certain things and avoiding other things, before my life runs out. I have come very close, but I just haven't quite nailed it yet. I need to memorize a pattern I think.

I've put this in as a spoiler for equipment set:

I had a lot easier time of it using the Silver armor, rather than the Battle armor.

Yup, that's what i'm wearing. Just having a hard time with the mechanics of the battle. Maybe my reflexes have gotten soft hehe. I brought my PSP in to work today, so i'm gonna try to win it at lunch time.

[ksloth]

Success! It just took more tries, and a less tired mind/body than last night at 1AM.
Had a great time with the game. I wouldn't have thought of playing it most likely, if it wasn't for together retro too.. now I have a desire to see more of the series!

I'm on an Ys kick myself right now. I played III immediately after Book I & II. Now I'm playing VI. I'll get to IV and V later this year, those are harder to track down as they're Japan only.

You are aware that there's two completely different games called Ys IV, right? Can't have a JRPG series without some kind of chronological confusion!

Yeah, I know, been using the rather excellent HG101 article as a guide to the series, but thanks for the tip anyway Which version are you going to play? I'll probably go with the TG16, since that console was kind of the basis of my experience with the series. I hear there's a translation patch, so I shouldn't have any trouble.

I'll probably the the TG16 version first. Ideally I would play through the series in order, but instead I'm simply playing them in the order that I can find the games. So I'll most likely play part 7 before I get to any of the Japan-only releases. I just finished VI, it was decent.

I've got a couple weeks left... Might as well tackle this game sometime this week and get it over with.

Seven is awesome.
