You can´t take it fast in SO4, the dungeons are long and save points are not that often something you can find. Usually only in front of the dungeon, midway and before a boss... Some RPGs are fun. Star Ocean, Tales of Vesperia are fun to play. Mainly because of their battle systems. I haven´t spent as much time as I should on Disgaea 3 or Valkyria Chronicles. Or Jeanne D´Arc, or a lot of other RPGs... I just feel down and don´t have time for it any longer. Even though I know this I continue to buy RPGs. Growing up is a must do thing. It is fun in some parts, really boring in some. But it is something that has to be done. I´ve played the first Star Ocean on PSP :) Not too long though.

I remember the day it came out... the whole emulation scene was abuzz with the news. Today, everybody has a PS2 while I don't. And that only affords SO3. Nowadays, I find most RPGs aren't even fun... maybe that's because I try to do stuff quickly now. Back when I took my sweet time with RPGs, they were much more fun. Damn university. Actually, damn everything, even the process of growing up.

At least I think it is called that. And Maria with her Energy Pulse or what the skill is called is deadly, as long as you can hold your enemies down. At the part where I am you can´t hold em down so... ouch. Welch is let´s say original to say the least :p But sure. It is one way of getting the whole synthesis part going nice and easy. At this point in the game I´m pretty irritated at Edge actually. He should have known and now we can harvest what he planted. But he has to go all emo on me. Which is really irritating. Poor Reimi. I hope it doesn´t get worse than it already is at this point. I don´t have a thing for battle trophies either. Why do I have to change character all the time to find battle trophies? It fucking sucks. I do have Crimson Squall. 1 enemy, multi-hit madness :) I usually spam that at bosses. At least I think it is called that.

At first I found her voice to be annoying, but my opinion changed as I heard her more, she's hilarious. Would've been cool if she was a playable character.

With the right skills TTEOT was to easy, I finished the last boss there in like 10 sec. And when I got that special skill for Maria it just went from easy to super easy. It´s just at the point where I am at now in TTEOT that is hard. When you learn a system and can break it everything goes easy. It took longer for me to do that in TLH than TTEOT. As in TTEOT I basically used Blade Rush and sidestep troughout the whole game. That was all I needed, rush in with a strong attack, sidestep, bladerush, sidestep, bladerush untill I can´t anymore. I don´t find Lym to be annoying. As I don´t find any particular character trait to be annoying. From what I can see, something happened to her and that is what made her this way. Favorite character? Reimi so far :) I payed I think 59.99CAD for it, well worth it. I haven´t lost more than about an hour or so to the game freezing. Otherwise it´s just been nice and dandy. I´m suprised I haven´t clocked more hours and that I´ve reached the second disc yet. So used to RPGs being so short now a days... I find the battle system to be pretty nice now.
