yukio is just a teacher at heart. teaching is something he's always going to do well, it's his element and he would admittedly feel at a bit of a loss without it here. ;;

you may end up needing reinforcements, ven .. but that remains to be seen. |D

[ex_aeroga402]

Ven's got a healthy respect for knowledge. After all, his Master imparted an awful lot, as have his friends. Plus he learned information is power in the recent past.

If he needs them he will get them. He's...done it before actually, haha.

[gokuri]

man this is going to be so interesting. i can't wait to see where their cr goes!

[ex_aeroga402]

We'll go on a journey of discovery and ice cream.

...FOR SCIENCE!

[gokuri]

i like this ice cream idea.

like a lot.

[ex_aeroga402]

Excellent! Because Ven is a pretty big fan of ice cream.

[gokuri]

this is just making me want to replay birth by sleep for the billionth time, sigh.

[prevail]

I support this! I love everything except like.

Ice Cream Beat.

[gokuri]

i don't even want to talk about ice cream beat.

never again.

[ex_aeroga402]

It was bad and the folks behind it should feel bad.

But then.

BBS HD.

I want my Frozen Fortune, darn them.

[gokuri]

bbs hd. oh my god i can't wait it's going to be so glorious.

[prevail]

It will be so beautiful. Gonna give Prize Pods shakedowns for days.

In HD.

[gokuri]

pretty sure once this comes out i'll never play anything else again.

[prevail]

My only disappointment is no multiplayer.

I'm a mean healer on Ventus in the Mirage Arena. All my friends liked to use the massive damage AoEs but I prefer having more recovery on my hands.

[prevail]

Granted, some of Ven's attacks heal him, so...

[gokuri]

man, some multiplayer would have been really nice.

i'm pretty good with terra and aqua in the arena but for some reason ven's style is always harder for me to manage. mostly, i think, because i have a tendency to rush right in and not really worry about healing until i'm near-death and cursing unversed.

who am i kidding this is every game i play.

[prevail]

I loved that feature. I'm not a huge multiplayer person, but it sure was fun.

Faith and Salvation were my favorites - aside Time Splicer. Because that one just looks cool. Terra's my weakest point, since he goes against my player type. Speed is always the first on my Want list.

Nothing wrong with leaping into the fray.

[gokuri]

salvation is wonderful. once i finally melded it i abused the crap out of it, and it doesn't matter which storyline i'm playing i always make sure i have time splicer as soon as i have the means. it's just. it's so great.

i think terra was my strongest suit just because he's a hard, heavy-hitter. of course, aqua can be too once she gets up to a certain point, and even though i can now get through proud mode with her with no difficulties, it still takes some maneuvering on my part to get used to magic-based attacks.

[ex_aeroga402]

It's the most impressive looking attack. And Salvation's great in a pinch. I think Faith triggers faster which I love, but both cases are golden.

I went through Proud Mode to unlock the ending and whatnot without all the side-grinding type of stuff. Did not want to work harder for that when I could just ram through stronger enemies. But dear lord Aqua on the first world was brutal.

[gokuri]

now i really want to play bbs again. even though i'm currently still getting through the final episode on proud mode and i don't want to talk about how long it's taking to level up to a point at which i can effectively knock the crap out of terranort.

i side-grind a lot, though. it's a problem i have in every single rpg i play.

[ex_aeroga402]

Terranort is such a bum. I find it's easiest to level grind before the final episode. There's that round area in Radiant Garden where the trio fought that boss together, and you can just keep going there and spamming Mega Flare and nuking everything.

I'll do all the things if I like a game enough/they're doable with some effort. But just to get the story content, I'm not keen on.

[gokuri]

terranort is the bummest of bums. i can't remember what level i'm at but i'm running around never land and killing everything in sight. it takes a little longer, but maybe i'll try that trick and get above 70 and finally kick his bum tail.

this is why i haven't finished dark souls. if you make something too freaking ridiculously difficult right from the beginning, i'm not going to enjoy it. it's just stupid.

[prevail]

If you haven't started the final episode, it made short work of getting Ventus to lv99. If you're already in the final episode, you're likely doing the best thing there is (since I don't think you can hit up RG without engaging in boss battle action then). I went with a largely defensive build for Aqua since that battle was darned rough.

I tend to put down tough games and come back for revenge, but I feel similarly about trophies. If the throwaway/should be easy trophies take forever and a day to get, I consider that unreasonable. Got to be a balance of challenges rather than things designed only to sink time into. I don't mind that for some, but geez.

[gokuri]

sigh, i've already started the final episode so i can't go anywhere near radiant garden without engaging the boss. i should have thought of that before i started it, but i was so gung-ho about getting through it again that i forgot that there's no turning back once you've loaded the save data.

ahh, you and i think the same. usually, when i'm playing a game for the first time, if there's a trophy or achievement that i can't get easily, i'll come back later for it or just abandon it altogether. i can either be extremely lazy or entirely too committed when it comes to that sort of thing, so it's pretty much a toss-up depending on how i'm feeling on any given day.

also! this may be random but do you have a plurk? i'd like to add you because i feel like we could be friends - or at least have some interesting gaming conversations. ^^

[prevail]

Don't feel too bad, I literally did the exact same thing. Was rather a facepalm-worthy moment at that. I tried to grind and got up to around 55 before deciding I'd just load up on defensive abilities (and ones that trigger fast + leaf bracer) and slam through it. Once you get a rhythm, it's not terrible.

My first platinum was XIII-2. I'm painfully close on XIII, Tales of Xillia, Tales of Graces, and Drakengard 3. If I focused on it I could sweep the ones in NieR. But it's definitely a matter of feeling motivated. I suspect in XIII the one for having one of every item ever at some point in the save file will forever elude me - no way to verify what you're missing.

Not random at all! I actually don't have a Plurk, but I do have AIM if you happen to use that. I know not everybody does. It's always nice to chat about video games though, seriously.
