Hero-of-Time Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Im at the point in the game now where I can go finish it off but I want to beat the sidequests first. The side bosses are very easy to beat, well Persona kept beating me until I read that you could just throw Flarus bombs at it, killed it in 2 rounds All I need to do now is kill Holy Beast ( grabs Groundus bombs ) and the Blue Dragon before I set off for the hell that is the Temple of Enlightenment.

Solo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I traded this is. It wallows in far too many genre clichés to warrant interest in the protagonists admittedly interesting plight. I found most of the supporting cast to be so teeth grindingly annoying that I wanted to hunt down those responsible and kneecap them. the art was good, as was some of the writing (the dreams, really. the rest was less good) but the world felt sterile, lobbed together and boring. Yup I gave up after about 6 hours in, I traded it in towards UT3, I needed some adrenaline fueled action. I have a rather short attention span at the moment.

Dan_Dare Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yeah it went towards my UT3 too. Git in the xbl thread, Solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosmentor Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Well I love the game, feels very much like Final Fantasy X with a vastly less annoying lead. It's a good return to traditional turn based RPG's which are few and far between these days and it fills the gap that I've had since the release of FFX. With Square-Enix heading more to the action RPG realm I'm hoping Mistwalker release more traditional RPG's. Hopefully they'll dump Blue Dragon though, talk about annoying characters sheesh.

Hero-of-Time Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I spent a few hours this morning getting 5 of my characters ( all the immortals and Sed ) to level 99 to take on the DLC boss. Apparently he is a bit of a nightmare to beat even at level 99! I also beat the hell out of the Immortal in the Backyard this morning and after that I have been learning the skills for everyone. I thought my game had glitched as I didnt get the skills achievy but it seems im missing one which is a relief. Im about to pop out but I will attempt to get it once I return. Overall its been a productive day on LO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Completed this today, finally. Got all the achievements except Treasure Trove (which honestly is insane), which I am pretty happy with. Skill master on the immortals is frankly enough effort as it is. Great RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, alot of people miss the Treasure Trove achievement. Its crazy how you cant miss even 1 item during the whole game and then even if you do you dont know where it is! My mate didnt get it either and as soon as I got it I sent him a message on Live, needless to say a few savoury words got sent my way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Got this game the other day, really liking it. Just one question, has it froze a lot for anyone else? I experienced three crashes, two during loading screens. It seems to take its toll on my 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 It never crashed for me in the 90+ hours I played it, although I have heard a fair few people say it does crash. Sometimes during the loading of battle it can stutter a bit, but that's the lot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramar Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Just went an hour without saving, then I managed to get to a save point, saved. Five minutes later, enter Crash Number 4. Just when I get into the game it kicks me in the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramar Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Just finished Disc 1. And I'm thoroughly enjoying the game so far. It's like a 'golden' era final fantasy games with better graphics. Each character I have so far are pretty cool, and the story is interesting. A few less crashes and I'd be over the moon, hopefully Disc 2 doesn't hate me.

Sanchez Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'm playing this now as well, I just finished disc 1 and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. No crashes yet although the frame rate stumbles occasionally but that doesn't really bother me. Oh those giant worms? *punches wall* fuckers took me like 15 tries. I traded this is. It wallows in far too many genre clichés to warrant interest in the protagonists admittedly interesting plight. I found most of the supporting cast to be so teeth grindingly annoying that I wanted to hunt down those responsible and kneecap them. Yes, I would agree but at the same time I feel it has a lot less of the annoying cliche's than the other games and I find it very bearable. So far the characters haven't really annoyed me except for Mack and the humour actually made me laugh sometimes (like when Jensen meets the queen and their interactions thereafter). At first I was a little dissapointed that Kaim wasn't the only immortal, I felt that it cheapened the effect but I was actually quite pleased with the turn it took later. So, I'm pressing on and enjoying it along the way. EDIT: Make that disc 3. That was a Saturday night well spent. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
