HAY GUYS

Holy crap, there's a thread for this game. I unknowingly bought this game 2 days after release because the I found the box art attractive.

But, I'd have to say, this is an awesome game and a great return to the nostalgia associated with old-school RPGs. I'm loving it so far, and I'm not even that far into the game. Grinding seems to be a must since I just got my ass kicked by the second FOE I ran into.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You got to B2F at level 5? Damn, I think I was at level 8 at the least to step foot into B2F. And even then, there's still a good chance of dying.

I dunno, maybe my skills are not optimally distributed. I'm trying to play this game without resorting to a guide. So I'm at level 9 - 13 going to B3F. I'm also quite sure that whatever's there will kick my ass back to B2F where I'll have to level up for another 3 levels.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've never played Wizardry or Dragon Quest or the like, but I still enjoy this game, if not for the anime-inspired art style. The mapdrawing feels like a throwback to the days when you really had to do it in games, though I will admit, I've never had to do it before.

I suppose another reason I like it is because of its depth. I mean, sure, it's not the depth of games like Final Fantasy Tactics or anything, but it can be quite deep and set aside a lot of rooms for many possible combinations for your party. Challenge is also another reason I like it. While many can view this as just massive leveling up of your party, I think there's more to it than that.

So really, in the end, it's a love-or-hate game.

Wait, Level 32 at B08 is overlevelled? Damn, I'm at B06 at Level 23 - 27...

Anyways, does anybody else find money to be VERY scarce in this game? I mean, yeah, if you're leveling up massively, you probably won't notice it, but these pieces of equipment are pretty damn expensive. Not to mention Inn stays are also fairly pricey and party revival begins to add up too.

Well, I suppose that's why I might be having a harder time. I have Immunize from my Medic, but I don't have Defender for my Protector yet. I also use only 1 of every class and juggle them around for even exp. growth.

So My front Row consists of a Protector, a Landsknecht, or a Dark Hunter and my backrow consists of a Traubadour, a Survivalist, a Medic, or an alchemist. I don't have any party members focused on Mining/Taking/Choping stuff. Those 7 characters you see there are all I've got. I suppose this'll screw me over later, but that's okay. No fun if you can breeze through the later parts of the game anyway.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sounds interesting, to say the least. I haven't picked it up in a while, but I do this with most of my DS games, where I routinely switch out the current game that I'm playing to get a bit of variety.

I think I got to the 3rd stratum and stopped. Maybe I'll pick it back up, but I'm missing some quests from the second stratum as well. Might go back and finish those up first. Can't find butterfly eyes, or whatever it is.
