[Gaming Sunday #2] If you're serious about letting loose with those bunker busters...  
My exciting week in gaming! Ahahaha, sarcasm. How I love thee. I didn't start a new PMD file like I was going to. Nope, I spent the entire week playing...



So, continuing on with this game...and I am now at Chapter 16, doing some...spring cleaning. My characters are all in their 200s now...I would have maxxed them out, but I got bored with the process. I fought the Elderly Man on the Bridge so many times I lost count. I kept dying against the auto-turrets, until I figured out that the bastards were invulnerable when they retracted, meaning I needed to stun them during a Hero Action when they were out...nnngh.

I completed Neverland yesterday...I got decimated the first time in, so I went back and made some new accessories. 30% damage reduction. Ahahaha. Sullivan and Rebecca were actually easier than getting to them was...Sullivan did very little damage, and I kept Rebecca in permanent stun...I didn't even need to customize the Golden Guns. Ahahaha.

So, now all I need to do is kill a few more enemies, fight something like 400 battles in the Arena, and complete the game a second time. Yay. Should get that done by Christmas with no problems.

Well, there is one problem: I can't get Resonance Miser to pop. I think I'm missing something, but I have no idea what, and it's driving me fucking MAD. I should have stored at least THIRTY Resonance points, and my records tell me I've stored FOUR. How. Why. What. Damnit. Fucking. Gimme. That. Trophy. Already. People online all talk as though it's obvious, which pisses me off: it is NOT fucking obvious, asshats. I'm stupid. Spell it out for me.

Also, did I mention how much I LOVE this game's cast? They don't have many lines, but if this is what the aristocracy is REALLY like, then sign me up for the full package. No wonder the world has gone to hell; humanity is run by a bunch of absolute lunatics. Looking at the key offenders...

Barbarella: Has orgasms over REAL meat. I kid you not...just TALKING to her gets you an orgasm. Is also very serious about letting loose with those bunker-busters...what the hell, Vashyron. xD

Garigliano: What have we here, what have we here, WHAT HAVE WE HERE?! What, indeed...I have to wonder. Now, Antourion pulling a 180 and being a Basilica boss I can believe, but Garigliano? He's just too...eccentric. He spends all his time staring through an empty portrait, for crying out loud. I'm not sure I'll ever get his sudden decline into antagonist territories...

Pater: One look at his design will tell you all you need to know. He's adorable in that fucking hideously embarrassing kind of way...like one of those stupid ugly dogs celebrities carry around in their purses that everyone fawns over. His death was just one giant "Wait, WHAT?!" affair.

Jean Paulet: This guy is like Indigo season James from Pokemon. This is the one character that I really wish had more lines. Hell, he should have his own game. JUST LOOK AT HOW FABULOUS HE IS. He also hires you later on to play decoy for his wedding. Yes, he gets married. The scary thing about that job is that Zephyr looks exactly like him with black hair dye.

Sure, you've got Theresa, Antourion and, of course, Rowen, to keep things sane, but...well, it's four to three, and I'd be willing to bet Jean Paulet could take them all on. Or Pater...hell, Pater is actually stronger than Rowen, and Rowen is the final boss. xD

Might review this game when I've finished it...I've quite enjoyed it. Slow-to-start story, and painfully difficult at times, but one of the better niche JRPGs out there.
