I'll be giving a update sometime tomorrow. I was trying to let ya guys catch up.

Thanks Aeolus! Just as a quick update I'm now in Fossil Roo but Blue was having a spot of bother, so update to come later today.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Alright, I just made it to disc 3 and considering that I'm a bit ahead of Coney and Blue, I'm gonna leave out the story related things to limit the spoilers. At this point, I think I have all of the characters and so far, Zidane and Eiko are my two favorite characters in this game. They are the most interesting to me. I'm over level 40 for most of my characters. I could of gotten it higher. I'm laying off leveling anymore til later. The game if I remember correctly starts to really open at this point with exploring and side quests. 



Note: The below is merely Leadified's Opinion on the events of the day. I'll update with mine when I get home. Also apologies for the formatting!

_____________________________


So after leaving Pinnacle Rocks the first order of business is to head back to Lindblum. However it seems that we are far too late, Alexandria has declared war. Unfortunately it doesn't

seem like Lindblum stands much of a chance, the siege only lasted the night and now the city is under total occupation.

However this won't stop our heroes, nor our favourite oglop Cid. It seems that Kuja guy is the reason why Queen Brahne is so powerful so taking him out will severely weaken

Alexandria, simple right? Before we head off on our new quest it's about time I pick up some new weapons. With this current party I have most of my abilities finished so I can use

these straight away and it's really nice to see Garnet hit some decent numbers for once. Along the way I encountered a peculiar couple, an Alexandrian soldier and a resistance

member, I have a feeling that we'll be seeing them again sometime.

So Fossil Roo is where exactly, north? Oh well doesn't hurt to look around a bit in the meantime. Remember those dragons near the Grotto from before? Yeah still way too strong,

luckily they attacked Vivi which absorbs their attacks (4300 or so, crazy), Cleyra is totally gone, encountered the clown again and that's about it really. North and South gate are still

closed it seems.

Going back to the marsh and Quina! S/he's okay! Excellent, let's catch some frogs in celebration. Speaking of which I got a gold frog now not too sure what that's all about. Fossil Roo is

just around and it starts off pretty intense with some kind of weird mechanical boss thing which we're no match for. After that, hey it's that bounty hunter from before! All fluff really

she was no big deal, no thunder queen that's for sure. Moogle is right around in the next room and Stiltzkin too! How nice. 

Well that's all for now, I'd like to give my thoughts on the game thus far but it's rather late right now and I will be away for the weekend. Sorry for the delay outlaw but I'll get back to

you when I get home!

Playing as Beatrix is one of the most fun moments of the game. Really enjoy the bits with her and Steiner fighting the hordes through Alexandria.

 

I know you're doing the breakdown as you go, but you're getting near the halfway point if my memory is correct. Overall thoughts (summary) so far?


I quite like it so far, like Coney said the characters (although I'm a little tired of Vivi getting abused so much) and music are fantastic and combat has been picking up too and it's fairly enjoyable. The plot is simple enough to follow  and it's interesting enough to keep me engaged and it's nice that you get to visit a variety of different locations fairly early into the game. The ability system is pretty unique and I'm always excited when getting new gear or finishing off with an older set. Only complaint is the pacing really, for example it's taken quite a bit to really establish the antagonists and I still don't really know what their characters are really like and what drives them to be evil. It's not a deal breaker though.

Definitely excited to play some more!

Well, the motives for people like Beatrix and Queen Brahne are pretty clear.

You learn a lot more Kuja in the time to come. These questions will be answered!

With MGSV coming out and with my crazy busy schedule another update might be a while, sadly. Will try and ensure that's not the case though!
