I want to give a witty response, but I got nothing. I don't think I noticed until Chapter Four that there even were rows, and by then my short term memory was so shit, on account of it being six in the morning, that I forgot before the battle ended.

I kinda wish you had stuck with the Ogre Battle LP.

I also did several LPs on the 'Tube meself, such as SaGa Frontier and BoF2 with a really nice retranslation patch, and am currently slogging my way through Wild Arms and Final Fantasy Tactics, but that's neither here nor there.

Mirai Gen · 08-23-2009, 02:34 AM

I haven't played this game in like forever so I completely forgot about rearranging for rows. My fault, as I could have warned him.

Also I never really gave much thought to beating Gades first time in. He seriously walks up and uses Destruction and that's game, one round, bye. I never gave it much thought (though that you can is very cool).

I wish more games were like that. I mean, you can beat Saturos and Menardi in Golden Sun the first time you meet them, and it just acts like you lost anyway.

Good LP so far, though! I'm considering giving the game a run myself now.

I can't see a way how to beat Saturos and Menardi with young Isaac and Garret, could be just me, though.

As far as I know you can't actually. Unless you cheat. I may be wrong, but I think not.

As for Gades. Starting with my second playthrough beating him became compulsory. I don't know. It's just that I know I CAN defeat him there... so I do it. Plus I usually get 4x Exp which makes the task much easier.

He's also possible to beat if you don't Grind to the max.
Moderate grinding will do (considering you get 4x exp, which you most likely don't), but the fight will be difficult. Still possible, though.
However, If you just want to play the game without an overpowered sword, it's not worth the effort unless you really love to brag.

EVILNess · 08-23-2009, 11:29 AM

He is totally worth killing cause the sword can be taken into the ancient cave. I mean, you really only have to be level 25ish to beat him.

Okay, things are looking so that Mirai will be able to join in again, without loss of video and audio quality, but we'll still lose game sound in those episodes. So, questions...

1. Should I do grinding behind the scenes or have it in the episodes?

2. Do you guys want to rename our Pokemon, and, if possible, any party members?

3. Should I do episodes that are without Mirai still, and have the Plus Mirai episodes be special once in a while things for when he has the time? Or should I only do episodes when he has the time to join in?

4. Should I talk to all the NPCs?

5. How soon is Gades and the Ancient Cave?

1. Unless you have a godlike charisma and/or humour, no. Do it behind the scenes. Nothing can make grinding exciting. Except maybe a TRAINING MONTAGE with fitting music.

4. Only if you think you can make it entertaining in a way. You could just as well record talking to all the NPCs and cut out the boring bits, unless you're opposed to that idea for some reason.

5. Gades is in some Tower after the town of Parcelyte If I remember correctly, or maybe the town after that, but it's definitely a tower. And the first one in the game.
The ancient cave is an optional dungeon that resets all your characters levels to 1 and removes all equipment except what you found in blue chests inside the cave. Gades' sword happens to be one of these, even if you don't find it within the cave.
You can visit the Ancient Cave as soon as you aquire the ship. Or perhaps you have the possibility to pay for a ship to travel there, though, I'm not sure anymore if the game actually offers that possibility.

Memories are all blurry, need to play again.

Yes, I'm cheating by looking it up.

From either Aleyn or Narcysus, tell Jyad that you want to go to Gruberik (or just warp there if you've already been there) and he'll take you there. Then, exit the town and head to the north.
