Since Samurai Warriors is taking a break, I installed this one to play for the next week. I’ve already completed the first for military campaign missions. It’s a really fun game, with nice 2D graphics and a pretty good sense of humor.
Samurai Warriors 2 (PC), Part 5
The story of Ieyasu Tokugawa is completed and another character is unlocked. Sadly, after tomorrow, this game is taking a break, as the friend I was playing it with is going on a weeklong class trip. There’s still a bunch of characters to unlock, so we will probably play this at least one more month.
Tasty Planet (PC) (COMPLETED)
It’s one of those simple, online bought, cheap games. Basically, you control a blob that eats and gets bigger and bigger. You start out in a lab, only 1 micro meter in diameter, and end up a hundred billion parsecs big, eating time itself and creating a new universe. It didn’t take long to finish (just about two or three hours), so I installed and completed it today. The game is fun, but nothing I’ll be going back to.
Final Fantasy IV (DS), Part 6
We got out from the underground, and upgraded our ship with a lifting arm. With it, we transported our hovercraft to the south, which enabled us to enter a cave. In there, we’ve found the fugitives from Eblan castle, including Edge, the prince of Eblan. He joined our party and we continued to the overworld part of the tower of Babil. In there, we fought and defeated the Archfiend of Fire, Rubicante. Afterwards, we escaped in to the underground again by stealing an airship.
After telling everything to the Dwarf king, he said we should take the crystal nr. 8 before Golbez does the same. The problem is, the crystal is in a sealed cave across the lava field, and our new ship can’t cross lava. After exploring the castle, I’ve found none other than Cid in the infirmary. Is seems he isn’t quite as dead as I thought. He upgraded our ship so we can fly over lava.
Before going to the cave, we explored the other locations in the underworld. One of them is the Sylph cave where, besides a bunch of nice items, I’ve found none other than Yang. He is alive, but unconscious. Next up I will try to explore some other caves and then finally enter the sealed cave.
Samurai Warriors 2 (PC), Part 4
The story of Mitsuhide Akechi is complete and another character is unlocked. I wonder if anything else besides the dreams and the characters can be unlocked. Anyway, we’re one step closer to completing the game, and afterwards, Warriors Orochi is waiting for me.
Final Fantasy IV (DS), Part 5
We’ve found a way underground trough a mountain in the south. Down there, we ran in to a fight between the Baron Red Wings and some dwarven tanks. My ship got damaged in the crossfire, so we had to force land near the dwarven castle. The dwarves said they still have their crystal, but Golbez already has a total of six. As we entered their crystal room, first some dolls and then Golbez himself attacked us. Just as he was about to kill as, we got saved by none other than Rydia. With her help, we managed to kill him.
Rydia said Leviathan took her to the land of Eidolons where time runs faster, so that’s why she is older now. As we were leaving the room, it turned out Golbez wasn’t as dead as we thought. He snatched the crystal and disappeared.
The dwarves suggested that, while Golbez is going for the last crystal, we should steal the other seven from his tower. They would attack the tower with tanks and create a diversion to allow us to enter unnoticed.
In the tower, we fought some weird doctor guy and his creation, but failed to get the crystals. Yang sacrificed himself to save the dwarves, and latter one, Cid sacrificed himself to save us. Two more are lost to the cause.
Final Fantasy IV (DS), Part 4
When I got to the top floor, I encountered Sandy, Mindy and Cindy. These were some tough enemies. At the start of the battle, the tall one casts reflect on the fat one, and then the little one bounces spells of her at my party. After taking some damage, I cast silence on the tall one, and then dispelled reflect from the fat one. That way, I could kill the fat one and the little one was actually helping me do it. After killing the fat one, I continued with the little one, and in the end disposed of the tall one.
In the next room Kain and Golbez were waiting. Golbez didn’t want to release Rosa, so Tellah lost his temper and decided to cast Meteor. It didn’t kill Golbez, but he did take his own life by casting the spell. Another friend lost!
The good news is that the damage Golbez took released Kain from his mind control. Golbez tried to kill me next, but after looking at me he realized something and left (I don’t know exactly what happened). Kain joined my party again and, in the next room, Rosa did the same. Then Barbariccia, the Archfiend of Wind attacked us. It wasn’t a really hard battle after I realized that a fully charged Yang was the only one who should attack, and that Jump could knock her back to her default form.
After the battle, Kain said that besides the four crystals of light, Golbez also needs four crystals of darkness and we need to get them first. I’m off to find the crystals.
Samurai Warriors 2 (PC), Part 3
The stories of Oichi, Hanzo Hattori and Mitsunari Ishida are all complete. I’m guessing we’ve unlocked most of the bonus characters, but we’re still not even done with half of them. As I said though, I don’t mind as the game is still extremely fun to play, maybe even more than before.
Final Fantasy IV (DS), Part 3
Before I got to explore, my ship got boarded by Kain. Golbez offered a trade – Rosa for the Earth Crystal of Troia. .So, after exploring the entire map and getting some nice items, I’ve reached the city of Troia. I’ve found Edward in an infirmary there, but he was too weak to join my party. He mentioned that the Earth Crystal was stolen by a Dark Elf and taken to a cave to the north east. To reach the cave, I needed a black Chocobo, as the cave is surrounded with a forest. I got a black Chocobo to the north of Troia.
There was a magnetic field in the cave, so I had to use non-metallic equipment. It was tough at first, but it got easier after gaining a few experience levels. After some fighting, I got to the crystal room where the elf was waiting for me. Off course, he kicked my ass. Just as I thought it was all over, at the castle Edward realized what was happening and started playing a song. This broke the elf’s concentration and got rid of the magnetic field. After that, the elf was a cakewalk.
When I got back to the castle, I got a bunch of nice items from their treasury. After getting back to the airship, Kain got there with his ship, and took me to the Tower of Zot where Rosa was waiting for me at the top floor. Now I gave to fight a bunch of enemies to get there.
Samurai Warriors 2 (PC), Part 2
My friend and I completed the story of Kotaro Fuma, and almost finished another story. The problem is, for each completed story, another character unlocks, so we’re not really nearing the end. It’s a great game though, so I don’t mind.
