Turns out I don't have it. I guess it's just a stubborn virus, but I'm still trying to get to 100 percent better. I took off work today, and I feel a little better tonight. I see my Dr. again tomorrow.
Maybe I'm nearer the end than I think. I've been doing all the side quests. There's those boss battle rehash battles and then all the collection quests. Sometimes I had to jump around from town to town to find the one that had the monster I was looking for. I wished for a note in the monster descriptions telling you where they occur. It didn't matter much though, because I found them all pretty quickly.
I've already pre-ordered Paper Jam. I hope it's good like Partners in Time. i loved that game. Also, Odin's Sphere. I have the first one and haven't played it yet, but love the art style of Vanillaware games. I'm getting that day-one this time and playing it right away.
I was really excited about the art style when it first came out.
Huh, it was also out for PS3 and Windows. I kinda wish it came out for Wii-U as well. It's cartoony style seems well suited for that system, and I might have bought one for this game.
I didn't beat it, just got to a major turn in the story that made a good place to stop for now. And yes, this one isn't very hard or mentally taxing with loads of stats and items. I mean, there's some stuff to make in the alchemical pot, but it's a managable list of recipes.
It does look good. I was a touch disapointed that crafted accessories don't appear on your character. But weapons and shields do, and you pick up new sets of clothing too.
The game controls really well. There is button mashing, but not as much as you might think. Each character has three attack skills, then there's your special when your tension meter maxes out, and then there is dodging and blocks. That's a lot of variety.
NX with no disc drive. Boy. I wonder if Ninendo will do that. Seems unlikely to me, but they are always full of surprises.
I got a break down of it on Axe of the Bloodgod podcast today. I'm still not exactly sure how it will work, but Kat said Birthright is more like Awakening in style (maybe easier) and Conquest is more old school Fire Emblem (maybe harder).
