    I don't know, PSU was okay. Mostly. Kinda. There were things about it that were cool. I liked the palette; it seems much better for Hunters who want to switch weapons a lot. More buttons, too. Maybe if you could choose between either in future versions? Photon Arts are neat (though they're in 0 now). I'm glad the timed combo thing is back (f'real) now, though. Also, that crafting BS is terrible, yes. Still, it can be fun to play….

    Finally, I did all those stupid Arca Plant missions on hard. That's one less difficulty that I ever have to go back to that awful area. Whoever decided the boss should just be able to go invincible until it tries to hit at least two times is a goddamned asshole. It's not fun to just sit and wait for 30 seconds while you can't hurt the boss at all.

    Hey Blaze I found you a rifle. It's not exactly great as it only has 31% Native, but it's better than nothing right?

    I just foudn another, they're called Ortlinde. I figured you don't have one because they drop in the final area off those big guys.

    Dual I might be up for some after I finish this quest.

    Edit: Oh wait, I'm way past 40. Misread that. I might not be too fun to play with.

    I'd be past 40 if my friends didn't decide to go "Ooh Magic cards" whenever we sit down to play.

    Or if they didn't all pick up PSO as well.

    Important lesson: Do not underestimate the dragon, as you're actually more likely to die as you get stronger because his triple shot won't knock you down. I forgot this fact. However one death was bullshit, I had 447 health and the single shot did 220 and I died. Sorry game, you cheated.

    Its done that to me as well. I had full health, took about 200 damage, definitely less than what I currently had, and I died. I was playing offline, too.

    I think what might be happening is it's somehow doing damage after it passes through by hitting the ground or something? Like splash damage.

    So if you die on a mission and you select to get ported back to town is there any inn or anything you can go to to refill your HP and MP? I seem to remember something similar in PSO, but it seems a bit harsh if I make it all the way to the boss of a zone and not only have to start over but have to buy healing items just to get back to square one.

    So I don't think that supposed boost you get from doing a regular field run as opposed to doing a mission really works. It seems like the drop rate is the same, and I'm not really sure where that piece of info came from.

    I've heard several people say it gives like a x1.25 boost to rare drop rates, but I didn't really notice a difference last night.:?

    I have undertaken the request to explore the tower. I grip my StunJasper Roar +25 and I bring along Sarisa, Kai, and Ogi. I am level 66 as I set foot into the tower. I wonder just how strong I'll be by the time I reach the top. I will write as more developments occur. If I die, I just want Sarisa to know that I have always hated her.

    Well, we didn't do very many runs total last night, and its not like we got anything good on the quest, either. More empirical data is needed.

    So is this worth my current desires to buy, or not so much? I wanted it since I saw the preview in Feb in Nintendo power. Compared to Crystal Chronicals, better I hope?

    Have reached the 21st floor now after a small rest. Was questioning whether or not the scenery would ever change, but it seems that it has. The team has started making guesses about what lies on the top of the tower. We seem to be in agreement that it will be some kind of symbolic garden that the creators made to make themselves seem deeper when in fact they just recently completed Philosophy 101. We also think it may have some kind of golden bell.

    level 21!

    And I still can't kill that damn octopus in under 60 seconds. Having a hard time finding any decent guns, still using a stundeo rifle, been avoiding upgrading it in hopes I find something better.

    Could always just come back in fifty levels or similar. I'm guessing the reward is trigrinders or similar...?

    to Eeveelution: Can't compare it to Crystal Chronicles, but this is definitely worth the money if you like this type of game.
