Love Eternal Sonata – love it the most I think… forgot all about it when I wrote this though! Took me long enough to get all the words from the titles of the games to make at least a little bit of sense when I stuck them all together.

Kirsten, I shall play some more and get back to you. Found Infinite Undiscovery cheap today as well in my last forage into a shop before January as they are full of fricking idiots at the mo so will give that a bash laters methinks. As for Last Remnant… there is a part of me that can’t work out why I can no longer use mystic arts when I was fine using them earlier and I still have the same tackle. But I intend to finish it. My RPG collection needs a serious run through and finish session so can’t abandon it. I shall soldier on.

Yeah see I know what you’re talking about Jake. It all started to make more sense to me in Last Remnant after a while but you’re thinking that rate of increasing understanding is going to stay the same but it’s not. This is as much as you’ll ever really understand and you’ll just keep randomly dying. No matter how big your party gets and what new weapons and powers you get you’ll never really gain any discernible control over battles or any real sense of achievement. I felt similarly about Infinite Undiscovery – which was mostly a game about running away and hiding in corners. Lost Odyssey for teh win!

I agree with Kirsten, the battle system in Lost Odyssey works so well. I’d even dare to say it’s the best J-RPG on the Xbox 360 full stop, it certainly gets better and better as it goes on and levelling up isn’t too much of a grind, sequel please!

Kirsten, you know what’s quite frightening? It’s actually making a little bit of sense now. I kind of understand how the battle flows a bit now. I still get randomly killed (I have no soldiers in my party so very little hit points) but it is starting to make sense. It’s still weird but it’s growing on me!

Jake:

You’ve just won the award for the longest title ever given to a blog in this here parts for this year. I may as well say maybe in this decade. I don’t think anyone is going to try to top that title.

I know. The comment has nothing to do with the blog, but still, it’s worth mentioning that title is the longest I have ever seen anywhere and that includes the old FDUK blogs.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I quit Last Remnant after about 15 hours. I’m afraid it doesn’t ever make anymore sense. Lost Odyssey is a different story. that’s a game that does exactly what you are talking about with the battle system becoming deeper and more complex but also far more understandable and dependable as you go through the game.

I dont know. Nothing brings in the season like killing Hitlers henchmen. Saying that its the Japanese this time? either in world at war or the mixed bag of JRPG you intend to consume.

tis the season which ever way you look at it.

Man, just use EXP+ in Enchanted Arms – it’s a life (and time) saver! Plus go to the Holy Beast dungeon; just be sure to have that No Encounters item – it’s in London casino – on you!
