What Did You Do In Gaming Today

[Forlorn]

Front Mission 1st Remake:

After the last Mission that progressed the story a bit more I also was able to recruit someone called Alder as well as Paul. I've got some more grinding in the Arena to do with the both of them which hopefully means more Huffman Dollars because I spent most of the massive amounts I'd gotten from the Arena before buying the new wanzer parts that were available in Grey Rock after I finished the Mission which I believe was Mission 4 or 5. Probably 5.

Continuing in FFX I have been on the Mi'ihen Highroad today. I am staying here for awhile to train along the road and unlock more parts of the sphere grid. I will probably train here all evening tonight before moving on. I got through also the fight with Belgemine where you have to fight her Ifrit and only can use Valefor but I was able to do it with no problem. I am to the part of the Chocobo Eater boss battle next.

Best of luck against the Chocobo Eater. Poor Chocobos. I mean, I know everything has to eat something, but I didn't think fiends really ate things. o.0 Hopefully you can push it off of the cliff which it sounds like might not be much of a problem since you won the Aeon fight against Belgemine's Ifrit. ^^ ^^

He's done the thing I do where all the characters are wayyyyyyyyy overtrained for the point in the game they are at, and we/he is still training them XD

Fields of Mistria

 Finally leveled the town up enough to unlock the mines. I’m surprised with the amount of copper you can find in the mines. However it takes a LOT to make one copper ingot though.

Skipping playing FFX this morning, @Sakura and I are playing a game we haven't played together in a long time called Town of Salem. If you haven't played it before it is a browser based game based on a party game called Werewolf and Mafia. In the game everyone is assigned a role which could be Mayor of the town, policeman, grocery store owner, farmer, etc. Some are assigned the role of mafia members and werewolf. Every night the mafia members and werewolf can kill a person in the town and the townspeople have to work together to try to eliminate the mafia members and werewolf. Each new day you have to vote to eliminate 1 person. Each day you meet in the town square and people will accuse someone of being a werewolf or mafia member and then vote. You can defend yourself or lie. If you are a mafia member for instant you might lie and keep insisting you are the Mayor. The goal is to eliminate the mafia and werewolf and save the town and the goal of the mafia is to eliminate the townspeople and win. It's very fun and each game or match takes around 20 minutes.

Loveeee this game. Totally forgot it existed lol ~ Another one of those games I played when I was much younger. Super fun though and you can get a group of friends together and play a private match too so it's a fun activity to do together.

I can't decide whether to resume FFX on Switch or play the new game I got, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. I know I'll play one of those here soon though.

Play FFX it's what we are doing here lol.

In my FFX game progression I finish killing that Chocobo Eater boss part very easily and continue in Mi'ihen Highroad area today. I did only training here still today but this evening I will progress to the next area after dinner.

Yeah, I've been meaning to. I even said I would to @Sakura, so I'll pick up where I left off in FFX. ^^ ^^ Did you push the Chocobo Eater off of the cliff or did you kill it before you could make it fall off?

I knocked it off the cliff since I didn't need the AP and rather wanted the key spheres. 

[Sakura]

I finallyyyyyyyy got my wand of the dark faerie item that I've been wanting on Neo today ~ always wanted it since I was kid and now it's mine to use to smack other people's innocent pets to death with bwahahaha I mean... to help bring peace and harmony against dark forces that want to attack Neopia

Nice job, dude. ^^ ^^ I remember the first few times I played FFX I never even know that hulking fiend could be pushed off of the cliff to get key spheres. There's so many things I didn't do right in my first couple of games on FFX. >< >< Live and learn though, right? Because I've been better at the game with each New Game which I usually do when I've forgotten major parts of the plot or most of the plot. Unfortunately I can forget a lot of it if I spend too much time grinding in battles. ^^; ^^; Since Dark Aeons are in the HD Remastered release of FFX/X-2 though, I don't have much of a choice but to do a LOT of grinding to max out the whole party's stats in order to beat them. I literally have to go through some of those to get certain things like Auron's Spheres for his Overdrive. Fortunately there's a lot of help online about how to do that though, so I might have to copy and paste that information in a Notepad file and save it to my Chromebook like I usually do with information on games unless I just bookmark it. Sometimes we get weather though that basically makes our wifi unusable until the weather clears, so it really is better for me to copy and paste the information in a Notepad file. >< >< ><

lol That actually made me laugh after I read that laugh at the end. XD

 

Hey, @Zeref and @Sakura, I'll be picking it up again, but I do need to mention how early in FFX I am which is in Baaj Temple where Tdus gets attacked by a Klikk and Rikku eventually makes an explosive entrance just in time to help him beat it. ^^ ^^ ^^ Hopefully I'll FINALLY be able to see the ending and have a feeling of earning the ending as a reward for all the hard work I intend to put into the game. ^^ ^^ Time for some fun, my friends!! < 3

I would not have known about the key spheres either if not for the fact I read through a guide before I complete each section to make sure I don't miss any parts on doing it this time around. Before in previously playing it I remember just killing it. The AP is good for leveling but I feel it is more important to have key spheres since it is still fairly earlier on in the game and they can come more handy in unlocking for the sphere grid. I find having that game guide to refer to is very helpful when you want to complete it properly and not miss items that you can't come back to and get later. 

You will probably catching up with us very quickly since we only play it after I finished work or after Serey gets home. Then only for 1-2 hours a day which isn't much with gaming I guess  I usually spend a lot of time training where a lot of people don't do this as much as I do. I hope you complete it we can all urge each other to finish the game. 

In FFX today I arrived at the mushroom rock gate area where the Crusaders have blocked off the area to even summoners and not letting people pass and to prepare for Operation Mi'ihen. Seymour comes and let's you through to the next part where you find out the Al Bhed are using machina. I got all the way up to the part where the next boss battle starts with Sinspawn Gui. There are 2 parts to this battle and then Operation Mi'ihen starts which I will see all the cut scenes for this area and finish after dinner.

I won't be catching up with you as fast as you might expect because I'm at the Al Bhed ship Rikku and her brother use to excavate the sunken airship and I like to get Tidus' Blitz Ace Overdrive there since there's an option to return to the ship which means having HP replenished at the Save Sphere. So, I'll be a while. ^^; I must be somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my games, but I'm not really sure why that is. o.0 It'll take a good while to get that though, so I don't think I'll be able to catch up to you for a while, especially since the Dark Aeons are in the HD Remastered version of the game. >< ><

@Sakura and @Zeref are playing the PS2 version and I think it's the North American release which doesn't have the Dark Aeons in it, so we're playing different versions of FFX, but it's still fun. I'll just have to steer clear of the Dark Aeons which seriously become an impasse without maxed stats. x.x

Yes correct we are not playing the version with dark aeons. 

I did play FFX this evening and I am still playing it. I got through this Operating Mi'ihen part of the game and Mushroom Rock area. I went into Djose Temple cloister of trials and completed it and got the aeon Ixion. Continued to fighting Belgemine again this time fighting her ixion and won this very easy. Now I am saved at the area where the shoopuff creature is that you ride to cross the waters. I will probably go back and finish this part tonight before I go to sleep.

Yessss ^ This  Anime Forums FFX crew  I am mostly just watching Pessi @Zeref play but I also play on his characters to work on the sphere grid when he is working or something lol 

[Zeref]

The FFX saga continues. 

I went through the shoopuff cut scenes where Yuna is kidnapped again by the Al Bhed. I went through the boss battle for the extractor and went through the moonflow area to get to Guadosalam. Currently I am at Seymour's house there right after the first cut scene.

In FFX on Switch I've gotten Tidus to learn his Energy Rain Overdrive from using his Overdrive attack repeatedly, but I've found out that it doesn't matter if it gets the added damage or not from the prompt just before the attack hits the enemy to count toward learning the next of his 4 Overdrives. So, I should have him learning Blitz Ace here soon and then after reaching Besaid I'm sure I'll level up Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, and I might as well get Tidus to participate so he can improve further, too. The Dark Aeons in the HD Remastered versions make it pretty frustrating if you want to go to a certain area you've gone to before to get something you missed since you literally have to finish them off to get to whichever area you're trying to get to. I know one thing, I don't look forward to The Dark Magus Sisters. That'll be interesting though, but I'll have to max out everyone's stats in order to stand a chance against those Dark Aeons. Fortunately there's online guides describing how to do so now. ^^ ^^ As soon as Tidus learns Blitz Ace I'll have him and Rikku proceed through the story. ^^ ^^ ^^

Lulu is my favorite character to level up aside from Auron. Lulu and Auron seem to be best damage dealers every time I play from what I can see. I love the fact Lulu uses magic too and magic is usually the type of character I go for in a game. Are you good at unlocking Tidus' Jecht Shot ability? I had to practice it a bunch in order to be able to unlock it. 

Right now I'm in the GuadoSalem area I mentioned yesterday and getting ready to proceed with that. I haven't gotten much further today since there was the fire in the building and work to do today.

We played this today and are up to the part of the Thunder Plains just for an update on Pessi and I's game play. I honestly hate this area so much lol It's annoying to get across and all the stuff with Rikku I find a lil annoying too x.x There's also stuff in far ends of the place so you have to run all over it and keep getting hit by lightning to get to the chests n' stuff.

Yes this is where we were. I finished the Thunder Plains area, I don't like it too much myself only because there isn't any really good part of the story in it for me. The scenes in it seem boring so I always like to hurry through this area as fast as possible.
