Silly Sethra, Nina isn't a ninja at all.

That's what I get for making a post while still thinking about Little Ninja Brothers.

PS, Sethra, since I'm unable to quote the...

2,000

I guess they must not have only inflated levels and experience, and magic uses, but also hit points. I think Chaos only had 2000 hit points in the original.

I don't know if I posted about this before, but I somewhat recently watched a Google video of someone beating Final Fantasy on the NES in about an hour and fifteen minutes (which counted the ending sequence). You might wonder how that's even remotely possible. He was using some...

I fought the Flesh Urchin, and its main attack killed Kia in one hit. I tried reviving her, then it killed Amon and I didn't have any more Life Roots (good crap those things are expensive) and reset, except I hadn't saved since I started the trek from Argus (I think?) and everyone had gained a couple of levels since then. I just went into the fight and just finished it with her dead.

Then I leveled up a little around Mycent.

I had something very similar happen to me in Breath of Fire 2 - I never used Sten because he seemed useless and I didn't really like him much as a character anyway. But then I got to a part where Sten is thrown into a dungeon alone and you have to play as him alone, and his levels were much too low to survive it. I had to start all over again from the beginning because I didn't have a backup save....

The true crystals are in my heart, apparently. Maybe I should have a doctor take a look?
BTW, in case it isn't obvious from previous posts, this version is not recommended. Whatever fun the extra content and upgraded visuals might be, it doesn't justify completely butchering the original game. I was able to buy 99 ethers for next to nothing. That just astonishes me when you think of how much of the NES version had you trying to conserve your items and magic.

You lost Ninja about 3/4 of the way through BOF1, but you don't actually get her Great Bird form until AFTER you find her again.

Silly Sethra, Nina isn't a ninja at all.

In other news, I finished FF1. Chaos was the only hard thing left in this version. He took me four tries. Once I figured out that temper stacked, I was able to have my Knight doing 2,000 damage per attack while also hasted. Black Belt didn't have the defense to survive. Knight...

You lost Ninja about 3/4 of the way through BOF1, but you don't actually get her Great Bird form until AFTER you find her again. The only other modes of transportation you have before that are the Big Fish (which you never lose) and the Warp spell. I don't remember what character or (characters) have the Warp spell, but there might also be an item that does the same thing. I seem to remember using the E. Key to make Earthquakes in the beginning a lot and the Dark and Light Keys to...

yeah, i was thinking about it and it probably is a better idea to play the first two bof games in order. i played bof2 first, and that might have had some impact on my enjoyment of bof1. i'll say this that i had the exact opposite experience w/ them that fo had: i beat bof2 about four times, whereas i only beat bof1 once. and i can remember a lot more from bof2 than i can from the first one. i loved the fact that each character has two abilities: one inside battle and one outside of it....

Finished Zero Mission with %100 in under two hours on hard. It was the last major goal I hadn't accomplished in the game.

All in all, I think it's a pretty decent game. As a remake, it doesn't seem intent on replacing the original Metroid so much as presenting the same story with new level designs and expanded scenarios, which works better for me than a remake that just takes the old game and gives it better graphics (usually while botching 100 different things in the...

Just make sure that once you find Sten, you keep him leveled up.

search for akbaa and arx fatalis in youtube. it looks more like interspecies erotica.

BoF2: ermm yeah. still haven't found cat. guess it's in the mountains, and i still need to level up more or maybe buy more healing stuff.

Another thing I could point out about the hunting and fishing in Breath of Fire 1 and 2 is that only in the first one is it relevant to rest of the game. There are at least three different things you fish for to progress in the game (one of which is absolutely required) and one thing you have to hunt for (although there is an alternate way of getting that item). I can't remember any time you had to hunt or fish for something in BOF2 to advance the plot, although maybe that's a good...

Kraken is dead. It was incredibly disappointing. More on that in a sec. The water shrine was actually a bit of an ordeal with tons of random encounters. The only potentially dangerous one was the Ghosts, though. I was afraid they could kill a single character while the other ones won the battle, and so far everyone has the same amount of experience.

The boss battle was absolutely pathetic, though. It started out promising but that only lasted a round. Kraken seemed to be able to...

I wonder who it was that decided to change it from a Space Station to a "Sky Castle" when they remade FF1. I was looking at the area in FFHackster and it was so interesting. The remade versions are always so generic. I don't expect the PSP version to be any better since it hasn't done anything much differently than the GBA and PSX so far.

I am jumping ahead a little bit, though. I'm at the Water Shrine right now. I can't seem to remember which path takes...

I picked up Elite Beat Agents after several days without playing it. I was still stuck on the final stage from before. I decided to warm up by replaying several of the earlier songs and finally moved on to trying to beat the game again. Results were mixed at first. After about 15 attempts (I was losing before the song was over, so maybe 20 minutes of play) I finally won, but I did poorly enough in one segment that I didn't get the best ending. After watching the credits, I made one more...
