Yes, and you cannot get full heart containers when you beat the bosses :(

(unless they fixed this?)

also I got through the first dungeon by using bombs and pots :D

and another thing: they freaking make you whore save states and abuse programming code :( also at the beginning the saving is broke (unless this was fixed also?)

you don't HAVE to use savestates, although the game does seem to strongly encourage it with it's difficulty curve :roll:

it's on the dangerous edge of just being to rediculous, but it is a well put together hack, not like other ones that are just hard and crappy, it's crafted, but still... DAMN

It's certainly no Zelda game though, that's for sure. Zelda games are fun to play, this hack is not.

That's typically what I do, but every so often the AI characters will just stand there/someone will die and I can't buy resurection potions yet. Very frusterating. Not like ToP where you can usually just never die.

Star ocean battles are all about skills. Learn all the stat boosting stuff and you're covered for all the non boss stuff.
Then grab link combo and pump levels with gabriel fights.

For some reason I found Tales of Phantasia to be more difficult on the whole than Star Ocean. Star Ocean seems to be a lot easier than Tales does. I don't know why it just does. I've been able to play through the game with barely any game overs, and in 25 hours. I'm currently still playing through final fantasy 12, the exodus esper is a bitch to try to defeat.

damn, cursed ninja monkeys. I forgot to use save states when I played this hack, somehow I always forget to save state instead of use regular in game saves. All I've managed to find so far is one lousy heart piece and a lamp. This game is defenitely harder than the non hacked version.

me too, at least I felt like I was doing more character management in ToP battles, of course it COULD be because I power leveled the hell out of Star Ocean because I was so curious about what the skills did that I just kept leveling in one place.

ToP was, on the most part, pretty easy. Whenever you learn a new skill, you just use it until you master it. Most of time, all you'd have to do in fights is hold right and hit A until you were close enough to use Tiger Teeth, and then just use it until they died.

I've started up Chrono Cross and this time around I WILL beat it. I just hope it's not as stupid as I remember it being. What the hell was I thinking actually buying it, bah.

After what seemed like ages, I finally finished Wild ARMs 3. Excellent game.

I would have finished this game had I not forgotten what the hell I was doing. I couldn't defeat Raftina(I think thats it), and I was supposed to return to one of the dungeons according to a cutscene. After I took like, a week long break though, I forgot what dungeon, so I started over.

Been playing "Conker's Bad Fur Day". I had to pass it in one run since the game NO LONGER SAVED so it took me about a week.

Just stop right there.

I'm chewing on FFX for the first time. I've gotten to the point on the sphere grd where Kimari has to learn someone elses stuff, so I'm probably just going to learn Titus'. Any suggestions?

I just started Half-Life 2 last week. It runs a lot better on my system than I thought it would. And I got into the Halo 3 beta. That's pretty fun too.

Go with either Tidus' or Auron's grid. Kimahri has a lot of choices, so just choose one.

Feh.
Chrono Cross is grossly under-rated.
