I kept Simon in the front row for the whole game, as he was when the Midgardians joined the party. He needed some heavy DEF up stones though. Last one was DEF up 7 I think. As for the story, it fits nicely with what we learned in the post-game dungeon in EO4 . I don't remember if EO3 also had so...

Please change the topic's title to avoid spoilers.

Oh, I missed that because I didn't reload after the credits scrolled. The title screen doesn't indicate that there's more to do with your Story mode guild, only gives Load Game and New Game(+) options as usual. The ending animation was rather clear that the guild disbanded so I assumed there wasn't ...

Or even older than me?

Thanks for the explanation. I was considering watching the anime, but I think I'll stick with the game(s). I still need to play Book Of Shadows sometime.

Well, that's that. I finished EOU . The ending was a little weird. Another boss battle in Gladsheim, then the sixth stratum is skipped completely and you get a weakened version of the final final boss (with a feint). And Kupala and MIKE both die :( Overall, I'd say this is a decent remake of EO1 . S...

It always puzzles me that N-Americans don't have DVD players that are either region-free or easily switched to region-free. Those are definitely the popular ones over here. Who wants a player that doesn't play imported DVDs when most entertainment is made in other parts of the world?

I also strongly disagree, Garrett. Like I said, how fictional characters are depicted or treated does affect viewers/readers. Maturity plays only a minor role, and lots of people are not mature enough to notice anyway. As for rape culture, that's part of the same problem. If women are shown to be le...

Both seasons of Higurashi / Kai are great. The story doesn't end with the first season, so be sure to watch both. Only the first season is available on DVD in N-America, but Australia has both.

Yep, definitely a migraine. Most people get one or two in a lifetime I've heard, some (me) have them regularly. If you get the blindness (or other visual weirdness) again, take pain meds immediately and you might prevent the actual headache. I'm kinda envious because I don't get such warnings before...

Quick question, what are the requirements for unlocking Nectar II at Shilleka's? I'm running out of the ones I got from various quests and chests, and regular Nectars don't quite cut it during boss battles.

In my experience binds take many tries to even succeed once, and then wear off after two, at most three turns. And then the FOE/boss's resistance goes up and you won't succeed again for the rest of the battle. So, yes, binds can help a little, but only marginally. Frederica using her Snipe skills al...

Of course they are going to apologize, and while I agree that they should be more mindful about what they say, someone is always going to be offended by something at some point. I think there's a difference between 'offended' (which at some level one decides to be) and 'triggered' (which is very mu...

Fictional characters. Not real-life people. Again, I don't see how "rape culture" even has relevancy in this discussion. Note the word 'culture'. Just like books and movies, games are cultural products, but also influence culture in turn. Treating female characters as mere eye-candy is a ...
