Just finished the first story (Ceodore's) in FF4 The After Years. It took me a long time to get through Mist Cave. Both the Interlude and Ceodore's story ended kind of abruptly. I hope the other stories are good.

Playing Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.  I had to pick up a Vita first, but it was worth it.  I don't think I'm going to be sleeping very much over the next couple of days.

edit: finished it this morning, though I had to cheat and FAQ through some of the nastier puzzles.  That was a total mindfuck. @_@

Got my Ys Celceta no Jukai Platinum on Sunday. 


Since then, I've just been playing the hell out of Liberation Maiden. Just going to switch between Score Attacking this game, and replaying Ace Attorney 1, until my copy of Zero no Kiseki Evolution arrives.

Also fighting my urges to buy Ragnarok Odyssey.

Playing Tales of Vesperia, just finished with the worst Secret Mission in the game (17).

Starting Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel
Let's see how much it improves over the first one.

Holy crap, that's out now?!? I've been waiting for years!

... Still would rather play as Spiritia, but eh.

Disappoint in the bosses, they are all the same as the first game except some Dolis Warmind who is replacing Freudia since you use her :<
I don't remember noticing many tributes in the first game, but here there's a ghost & goblins with one of the mid bosses.
Dat kirby

They're the same, but do they at least have different patterns? And does Freudia get different stuff than Spiritia did?

If the answer to both are no... well, I'll still get the game sometime, who am I kidding.

I don't remember the patterns from the first game but the difficulty seems to be swapped. The easiest bosses from the first are the hardest here and the hardest the easiest. Libea is though now D:
And overall stages are also easier from what I can remember, may have to replay the first game to compare but I didn't have much trouble with most of the stages. Well from the main 8 bosses, there are some more which I haven't played yet.
Freudia doesn't have the typical megaman canon that shoots one bullet and charges if you keep pressing attack, she keeps shooting ice lances if you hold the attack button also her own weapon has a weapon bar that depletes just like any ability you adquire so you can't spam your main attack.
That said you'll be laughing at the stages and how they parody old games, they're all like a tribute to different games.

I guess I'll have to see where I can get the game from sometime, though it's like all the groups I'm watching will come out with their games in like... years. Looking at the progress of some of the groups I kinda idly watch, I came up with this.

Holy hell. In the meantime, I'm playing my friend's copy of Oboro Muramasa on his Wii since he's out on vacation. Here's hoping I can beat it before he gets back. ^^

This finally arrived! Time to get started~! <3

One of my top favorite games!

Casually replaying .flow and getting started on Yume 2kki. I love me some Yume Nikki spinoffs.

[TheTanStar]

Been playing Black Ops II on the "only difficulty": Veteran. Strikeforce missions are a pain in the rear due to the absolutely abysmal team AI.

[baruhara]

^ I really want to get that, but the series has been getting progressively worse, I think. Is it any good?

[Cael K.]

Got both characters' first endings in Oboro Muramasa before my friend came back last week. Pretty good game, with a few flaws. The biggest is that there weren't enough enemy types. By around halfway through the game, I had pretty much seen 90% of what the game would throw at me. Precise control also was an exercise in frustration as well, at least for me... and fighting the controller made Momohime's last fight more difficult than it should have been.

Other than that, there were some little things - I think it was way too easy to level in the game, and I'm not too sure how I felt about special arts giving you invincibility, either.

Then there was the localization. Holy crap, it sucked. Entire sentences were left out, and the entire script didn't even read well in English. Kudos to keeping the original voice cast, though - the localization just reeks of rushed.

I still liked the game though, and up until Act 4 or so the game actually challenged me. Really good stuff, I just wish I were challenged more or saw new stuff past that point.

Thinking about what to play next, I messed around in DMC3: SE on DMD mode. Oh. My. God. It's been like a year since I played this game. Wondering if I can even beat it on this difficulty.
