[Rant] Bullshit gaming, you know how it is.

I'm playing Radiata Stories right now and happened to die after a 10 minute long sequence of people talking talking talking talking that was completely unskippable. Was a bit when I found out those things weren't skippable. Also was annoyed when I found out if the main character dies you get game over.

While I'm talking about the game, is there any strong reason to start a New Game + to play through the alternate race path when I've got a save right before you make the choice? I just beat the game this morning with the non-human path and want to know if there's any reason to replay the 15+ hours leading up to the choice.

But good lord, I had to fight 6 Warrior Ing today, and they each took a full minute to take down. I remember the first boss you fight in number 3 taking forever, too. Boss battles go from clever and neat to tedious and just tests of endurance.

You should play Alundra.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Does anyone else remember the battle in SaGa Frontier where you had to get X many unique combo attacks in order to kill the boss? I hated it since I could try the exact same command choices between characters two attempts in a row and wind up with a different outcome each time. I never really got how the linking system worked, and that pretty much destroyed the game for me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Heh, Beyond the Beyond. I remember buying it because I couldn't believe it was as bad as everyone said it was.

They were right.

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