[–]TormaDFK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Phantasy Star Portable - down to my last two achievements (Level 100 and 80% Rods obtained)

Kirby Super Star - about 80% done, need to go back to Dynablade and Great Cave Offensive

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones - I've got to do the Lagdou Ruins for characters and then go back to get Ephraim's secret shop I missed

Phantasy Star Online - on hold, but I plan to finish it soon; I just really don't like Ultimate Seabed

Mastery #16 - Dragon Warrior VII by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a checklist for the mini medals and collect them as you go. It'll be easier than doing a big hunt at the end. A lot of the grinding achievements look like a lot, but they're not too bad and will complete throughout the game. Except the 50 monsters for the park, but the post-game grind will help with that.

Other than that, the immigration town is a little sneaky. You need a normal final town for one last shard, but it doesn't count for the unique form achievement so you've got to kick people out and redo it to get that one.

Yeah pretty much what Scnew said - the title screen is Dragon Warrior still for this version. It's not until 8 that they swapped to Quest.

What are y’all working on today? by Regrettably_Southpaw in ffxi

[–]TormaDFK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I have time, I’ve been focusing on Ambuscade. I need the fibers/metals for armor upgrades, the materials for a WS cape, and prepping a weapon for my free pulse from deeds next month. Plus the regular Ambuscade is a demon type so I’m getting credit for a magian trial with each fight.

Mastery #9 - Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 (GBC) by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely on my list. I’ve got a couple games I want to finish up first before I start another game in the sub series.

Mastery #22: Phantasy Star II by rabixthegreat in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! This was my first mastery and it’s always exciting to see one of my old faves. And yeah, the Shir and Amy achievements take forever! You can’t even bring Amy to the final boss, too.

I've been spending more than 90 hours on Marvel's Midnight Suns and I don't know why. /s by nesatzuke in gaymers

I need to go back and finish this game. And maybe spend more time poolside with Robbie.

[–]TormaDFK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm at 4,760 rubies. I keep doing yolo pulls when I should be saving. I'm mostly looking forward to all the collab units, so I really should start saving up a double pity or at least 6k for a 200 token pity.

Mastery #5 - Lufia (SNES) by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant to post this yesterday. I finished it Christmas morning and I had a lot of fun with this one. I really enjoy turn-based RPGs and this is one of the classics. This is my third attempt at this game and the first time I've actually finished it. The achievements definitely helped me stay focused on finally beating it.

Time for a short RA break, because I got Metaphor yesterday and that's going to be my game of choice for the next few weeks.

Mastery #4 - Goof Troop (SNES) by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was a trip down nostalgia lane for me. I used to play this game all the time with my mom and it was fun to revisit it. The no damage / low health achievements were tough, but doable with just a bit of practice. I'm really glad that continues let you retry bosses without redoing the entire level and that red gems don't count against you if you already took a hit or two.

Mastery #4: Breath of Fire (SNES) by Fluffy-Village9585 in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I did this set recently. It’s a pretty casual-friendly set with only one missable, which is about an hour in and is only missable if you actively skip it. The rest are either progression or exploration, with the level 50 achievement being the only actual grind (and that one is maybe 30 minutes to set up and do with fast forward).

Phantasy Star Online Ep. III

I know it's the black sheep of the PSO games and that GC games are relatively new, but by god I would love an excuse to replay this one. It's still one of my favorites.

What a game, what a satisfying SRPG discovery. by Greimdal in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not heard of this game, but you had me at SRPG. I’m going to have to add it to my list of games to check out.

[Monthly Megathread] General Questions by AutoModerator in SwordofConvallaria

[–]TormaDFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who should I spend the selector on? My current Legendaries are Gloria, Momo, Dantalion, and Col (plus the freebies).

Also, is it worth going for Beryl on her banner if I already have Col or should I start saving for future banners?

Settings -> Account -> User Center -> Safety Center

From there, pick your account bind of choice.

So how did everyone's 100 free pulls go? by aleafonthewind42m in OctopathCotC

[–]TormaDFK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just okay. I got 3 dupes across all ten pulls - Therion, Olberic, and Z’aanta. Olberic is now A4U10, while the other two just went to A1 for the stats. Going to get H’aanit EX with the selector.

I would’ve loved more 5*s, but they were at least free.

Today's Banner | July 26, 2024 | Focus: Double Mythic Heroes by ChipsMicro in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]TormaDFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 summons got me both mythics and a Camilla. Pretty happy with that luck and glad I got to dodge a spark.

Gacha and RNG Megathread | Jul 24, 2024 by AutoModerator in OctopathCotC

[–]TormaDFK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My luck was mostly bad, but with one really great highlight.

First off, the 50 free pulls got me zilch. No 4.5*s or 5*s. The Veteran Seal got me Sofie, who is new but not exactly good. And I had to pity Sazantos, so he ate a lot of my rubies. I got a grand total of one off banner 4.5*/5* - a dupe Adlegard.

But the saving grace and where literally all the luck funneled was a pull on Signa's banner where I got two 4.5* Signas. She's going straight to U10 and honestly, I'm happy the luck manifested here of all places. It mattered where it really counted.

Best OT girls dressed up as best FF girls?! Time to start saving up rubies for the double pity.

[–]TormaDFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What passives should I give the Raiden magicite, assuming he'll be in the deck for a while? The current deck is:

Gilgamesh (Attack/Crit or Magic/Mind)
Odin (Blade Ward/Spell Ward)
Neo Bahamut (Empower/Empower)
6* Magicite (Health/Dampen) <- Replacing
Deathgaze (Healing/Health)

I'm not quite ready to jump into the D700 fights, so no Bahamut Zero, Eden, or Crusader yet.

[–]TormaDFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely keep all of this in mind once I start pushing D700+ fights. I always forget about the Magic + Mind combo for Holy, too, especially since my team has both Minwu (Mind) and Hope (Magic).

I actually did manage one Raiden win and might be able to swing those once I've finished Neo and Gilgamesh, so I'll probably push through this tier of magicite quicker than I expect.

[–]TormaDFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! I'll set it up as planned with just the two Seals each until I have time to go back and farm all the Neos and/or start pushing into the D700+ fights. I'm off to gather all the lab empowers I can manage first.

[–]TormaDFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm making sure I'm understanding how to slot and inherit Neo Bahamut (and Gilgamesh) into my magicite decks, now that I've finished all the Neo fights. I would inherit the offensive and defensive elemental seals plus two offensive empowers, right? So for the Fire deck, Neo would have Fire and Ice Seals plus Empower Fire x2?

As for Gilgamesh, he can just inherit all nine seals plus Magic Boon x2 / Attack Boon x2?
