Wow, DS Official thread is coming to a halt.

Just beat all the bosses. All I have left to do is are 1 or 2 more WT Events and then I'll do the last bits of the game.

Still have to do the BW Tendency events but I'll do them on NG+

Also, I didn't want to kill Garl Vinland and Maiden Astrea; they were good people

^well I finished the game 7 times in 1 months and a half time (around summer last year, asian version ftw) ...I figure I still have plenty to do in terms of creating new characters. I'd love me a Hunter and probably a Barbarian. Already finished the game as Thief, Knight, and Royal.

Ofcourse, the game has almost endless replayability. I one day hope to upgrade all of the good weapons and increase my soul level to like 500

The game is great and will remain to be in my top 5 this whole gen.

Will return to this game when i beat FFXIII...

Wow, I haven't seen this thread in a long, long time XD

I haven't had time to go back to DS, there's been a bucketload of RPG's this past months, and more still to come XD

Whenever I find some free time, i'll be back ;)

It's a shame that there were no newcomers to the thread though, has everyone finished the game already? :P

Lol, thats what I'm wondering. Everyones' probably stopped playing due to all the good games that are releasing, and most of the active members of this thread have probably got their platinum.

Man I haven't completed my first play through yet but this game has provided me with the best experience this gen after MGS4.

And I didn't like 5-3.

Gah, I hated 5-3. Those creepy babys on the plague swamp can destroy you in seconds, especially when you're on higher NG+. Plus BP Garl Vinland was a b***. His brand can destroy almost any character if you're not careful.

What do you still need to do to complete your first playthrough? 

It's not really the plague babies that annoyed me or the plague itself, but the fact that you have to kill Garl Vinland and Maiden Astrea. They're good people, and when you kill them it seems like you're hungry for souls instead of saving Boletaria.

To complete my first playthrough, I'm going to kill BP Garl Vinland, complete the Selen Vinland quest and then kill the Black Maiden boss. I've killed all the Demons, so yeah, only a little to do to complete my first playthrough.

Yep, but they lost all their humanity to the demons inside them as well. They are just twisted as the rest of boletaria, even though their saintly appeareance denotes otherwise. 

You're really on the final stretch of the game, will you continue to do NG+ once you finish it? 

after finishing GOW3, and FF13, I'm planning to start playing this game again, any recomendations?? cause I find it really difficult, and like don't really know what's this game about.
