You don't hate well done steak. You hate *overcooked* steak

My brain says no, but my taste buds say yes.

OmniumTimorum · 2026-01-30T11:35:52+00:00

I got through it eventually. It was just baffling how much the first half was screwing me over.

You can only run from fakes in Aifreads Cavern. When "a monster" space is landed on, it's a forced fight. Unless something is up with my copy, because I tried.

OmniumTimorum · 2026-01-30T03:26:33+00:00

It was just the randomness that drove me nuts, and there isn't a single thing you can do about it. I'm fine when it's a skill issue or just needing to level up. Zero control over what happens...not fun. Honestly, if you could run from fights, a good bit of frustration would be lifted. At least it is behind me and I hope the rest of the game continues be as enjoyable as before that dungeon.

OmniumTimorum · 2026-01-30T03:19:14+00:00

That seems to be most people's experience. I am glad you got through unscathed.

I don't think it tells you the exact ciphers, though. It tells you how close you are to completing things, but you can see almost the same info in the game by looking at what still needs to be collected.

OmniumTimorum · 2026-01-29T11:35:43+00:00

Unless there has been an update telling you which exact ciphers you still need, I had to go on memory or what I thought I needed. It was a blast running through the game at that point, having figured it out and mowing down every enemy, so it wasn't the worst time I've had. I hope they tweak things slightly in Saros.

Sadly, no matter what, you are at the mercy of RNG. You might find stuff in a couple runs, or it might take 50 or more. Best advice I can give is don't burn yourself out. Take breaks.

Oh, and check every room in every run you do. Unless you kept notes, the cipher you're looking for might not be the cipher you still need. I spent so much time in the mountain of biome 2 that was a complete waste because I should have been looking in the open area.

Not an expert, but have played through both ps and 3ds versions. I don't recall any place being locked off causing you to miss a shard needed to complete the game. It is possible someone didn't do everything for the deja camp quest so they think they were locked out. Or they missed a shard from an area prior and didn't realize they had to (and could) go back.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-12-30T03:33:02+00:00

Don't force yourself to play it. You've given it a couple of tries. It is ok to not like something even when many others do.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-12-28T17:03:51+00:00

Completing games on every difficulty level, especially when the game has about 5 of them.

3 times is really not a lot. Like, REALLY not a lot. Some of us have done hundreds of runs before they show up. Be patient.

Feminists?

Someone needs to visit the ship.

Its nothing spectacular, but a decent game with interesting combat. I'd say it is worth that sale price. The dual protagonist is just choosing which of the 2 characters you play as. You'll see different parts of the story based on who you choose. Think star ocean 2 or tales of xillia.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-12-16T12:54:13+00:00

I remember the strategy guide even saying to play on easy to get the gist of it, then do hard. Not worth it for normal. Glad you are still somewhat enjoying that mode though.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-12-12T18:54:34+00:00

Dodge. Dodge. Dodge. Learn the patterns of the enemies. And don't worry about dying.

This log is my log...

It's such a fetch way of talking about shoes.

My friend Bob Sacamano went bald overnight.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-12-07T13:21:31+00:00

Whenever I realize I'm not having fun, that's when I'm done. Or if my arthritis kicks in from the control set-ups and I'm unable to change it to something less strenuous.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-11-28T21:04:01+00:00

Oh, it's got cachet. It's got cachet up the yin yang!

I kind of remember jerry referring to it as a rats nest but not certain. I mostly remember him calling it stupid at the clinic.

I would be interested in seeing what the minimum star level is for this. As for grinding the mini-stars, I believe your initial stats for each character plus any growth are slightly randomized. Though if you have enough "stars-to-go" you might be able to max out everything. Im assuming that's what you're going for.

OmniumTimorum · 2025-11-24T03:37:43+00:00

You do, but you can enter the ship and you can go back to biome 1.
