I've nearly beat the game. I've already been inside the last maze leading to the climatic confrontation. A sneaking suspicion told me my characters weren't powerful enough to defeat the big boss--that's what they call the major opponents in these games--so I decided to go online and find a cheat sheet.
Boy, oh boy. I missed so many little side quests! These side quests provide incentive for completing them, lovely little goodies to help your characters. Weapons, armor, and various other items of usefulness can be found or won. So, cheat sheet bookmarked and open for easy reference, I started to backtrack. I'm glad I did. I unlocked another fusion monster for Kurando and have powered up several other characters.
Of course, having the cheat sheet means I now realize just how many things I've missed and how much more powerful my characters would be if I had only known! Ah, well. It's just a game, right?

Busted!
ReplyDeleteI knew better than to admit I've been gaming and not writing. Boy do I suck!
That's one of those things that happen with RPGs. So many side quests!
ReplyDeleteIn Star Ocean: Till The End of Time, I know I've already missed a million side quests just by the answers I've given: "No." or "Yes." Usually impact the ending. It's crazy!
I think Kingdom Hearts is the only game I've completed 100% (that is an RPG. I've completely Tenchu Wrath of Heaven 100% too, but it's an action game).
Anyway, have fun with Shadow Hearts and slip it to me when your done. I want to play :)
