i really enjoy ur LP's well this is the first one and first time with this game the only snes rpg i played was FF6/FF3 THIS GAME SEEMS TO LACK MUCH STORY BUT IS STILL FUN! LOOKIN FORWARD TO PLAYIN SEIKIN DENSETSU 3
i like the axe. it been useful for me during the light palace and the last palace not the final area. i dislike the gloves/knucle weapon. shortest range out of all the weapons.
and it doesn't have the cleaving effect that the axe and sword have.
It seems to me they almost always target Randi with annoying spells regardless of who's leading the party, so I'm thinking I might just get one Ivy Amulet (Ochu Ring in Japanese) this playthrough...
The blue tiger guy is supposed to lose his head like that. Its not a glitch or bug, its just there to trick you. Just when you think he's dead and start to relax, he comes back.
The intro did say that after the Mana Fortress was smashed, civilization was destroyed. The mention of "missles" and "veedios" (and Jeopardy?) suggests that society had modern technology before it was wiped out and forced to start over.
I love the Lofty Mountains music. I could put it on and sleep all night.
The turtle story is great. It reminds me of this one time my sister started going around saying "JESUS CHRIST THAT THING'S REAL!?" and it took me like a month to remember what movie that was from.
I always wanted to know why this game over-dedicated things to flavor such as that temple north of Mandala. But as we will see more of later on, the ancients were in fact very high tech.
Those eggatrice actually completely hatch from the eggs in SoM 2 and become birds.
The upcoming Sage Joch and Tasnica plots are very poorly explained in this game it seems, alot of what happens makes no sense.
You didn't comment on the messed up background after leaving Jehk's place.
It's not exactly legitimate, but you can save state just before killing a Dark Knight and keep killing him in different ways to get him to drop a chest. Analyze the chest so it glows red to disable all traps then save state again. Then keep trying to open it in different ways until you get Gauntlets. It's one of the most powerful ring type armors in the game. Not really a spoiler but for anyone following along who wants to supe up their characters. =)
Actually, I think those orbs were only audio recordings, since they probably didn't have the magic fro holograms or video recording. Most of them sounded like radio reporters who were at the scene of the destruction, or what ever happened.
You didn't mention it in the video, but the... Dark Knights or whatever they're called, in the Palace of Darkness, drop Gauntlets, some of the best 'Arm Armor' equipment in the game.
You know, I've noticed something in this LP that kind of distinguishes it from many of your others...in a lot of your other LP's, when you come to an area or scene of the game with great music, you'll often comment on how great the music is there (e.g. Cosmo Canyon in FFVII). However, I don't think I can recall an instance of you or your brother commenting on any of the music here in this LP. Well, there are some great tunes still to come in this game, so you'll probably make SOME remark....
Ah, very true. Soon we'll have songs like The Legend, Star of Darkness, Did You See The Sea? (already been played, but not for the same length of time), Prophecy, Spirit of the Night, Leave Time for Love, The Oracle, Meridian Dance, The Second Truth from the Left, and probably a bunch of others...yeah, you're right, the music definitely will get much better not too long from now.
That's good to hear..some of the music up to this point has been unimpressive, to say the least; the theme in the Ice Forest was the first one that really stood out to me as meeting my usual expectations for an SNES Squaresoft game.
The axe is pretty powerful, though. I'd probably rank it in third place of the four short-range weapons, with the knuckles being dead last (I think they're just plain awful), the spear as number 2, and the sword as number 1 (actually, sometimes the spear is even better than the sword).
i know what you mean about the axe, HC. it's my least favorite weapon, so i leave it on the sprite. i just use one weapon per character. generally sword on the boy and girl with the spear.
I was referring to the scene where they were working on a computer image of them and they were having trouble getting their foreheads big enough. I thought one of the races they were referring to was Brazilian.
Oh man! Sleep Flower is very annoying! Thank goodness for the Ivy Amulets. Oh, and that Jehk fellow will get quite annoying after awhile... But, *rest of comment deleted due to spoilers*
You guys should get a parrot and train it to say "ORLY" so you can have it toy with other people. That would be amazing, haha.
Also, I personally liked the whip throughout most of the game. I guess it's just because I got a whole bunch of whip orbs to the point that it was my strongest weapon.
I liked the whip too, actually. I think of all the long range weapons it was my favourite. I mean, it has good range, it hits every enemy in its path (similar to the boomerang), and it's not PARTICULARLY weak...come to think of it, it does have a number of similarities with the boomerang, but for some reason, I like the whip more, although I can't put my finger on exactly why....
restrict use of mana ... like the restrict use of Triforce...
