Time to keep playing through Shadow Hearts because it's so awesome. (Part 2!)

transience | Posted 5/4/2007 3:30:27 AM | message detail | #051
well, if you went through SH2 in less than a week, you could do SH1 in 2 or 3 days.

Yeah. Sounds good.


I've been playing a ****load of games lately, though. Before this year, I would play maybe two or three new games in one calendar year. Heh.

I go through stages of playing games intensely, then don't play a single thing for months. right now I'm in one of my gaming moods and have been playing things every night. getting a PSP for emulation helped out there.

That sounds about how I am, too.


But now I'm curious -- how does that PSP emulation work for, like, PS1 games? I'm assuming you're not using that official way where you buy them, or are you?

no, all isos. ps1 emulation is actually really great, better than SNES emulation, because the system was made to emulate ps1 games. it just takes a bit of haxing firmwares and the like. I can show you sometime if you're interested.

1. The Miracle

2. Might vs Right

3. The Idar Flame

I see no arguments.

Yea, get SH. NOW.

Okay. Game stores fail. Follow me on this journey.


I go to GameStop to pick up Shadow Hearts. When I get there, I see the box. I'm like "omg yay," but little did I know. So I'm waiting in line, reading the back of the box and get all hyped up, and then I come to the register, give them the game, and what does he tell me?


"Umm. I'm sorry, we don't have this game for some reason. I'm not sure why the case was out there."


The rage. Oh the rage. Hate.

So let's see here. I still have a bunch of sidequests I can finish until I get my hands on SH1. And I'm thinking a Yuri SCC might actually be pretty fun to mess around with -- anyone tried it?

don't even think about it unless you get the final fusion. you'll need For Everyone - otherwise you'll be levelling all to hell.

and you don't get 4x exp, either.

you've outlevelled most of the hard ones by now (which is probably a good thing -- some are reallllly annoying). some of the end ones might give you a fight though.

And I'm guessing that trying to start a brand new game and doing a Yuri SCC would be hell? I remember thinking about that during some battles when there were like six or seven enemies. That's brutal -- and no magic.

you just don't have the capability to do much against bosses, and winning regular battles is a real task. I guess you could try it, but I wouldn't find it very fun.

I can safely write that down as the biggest waste of time ever. I got rocked when it came time to use Gepetto. And, yeah, I didn't save before then. Oops. I'll make sure to save that one for last... >_>

Things that transfer into a new game+:

- Fusions obtained
- Fusion levels
- Crests
- Crest Map completion (You should do this, it adds extra spells to every crest)
- Certian acessories
- Photos

-- Much like I mentioned before, I got to about level 93, I think, before I had to go at with Gepetto and then proceeded to get rocked hard. I need to get him the best equipment and level him up some, same for everyone else that isn't apart of my main group. The Man Festival is so, so wrong.

-- I got all of the Soul Drops and upgraded all of the Fusions to max in the Graveyard. I have Amon and Neo Amon at level 10, so I'm covered in all areas except for finding out where Kurando's second fusion is.


-- I got the Bike Jacket by going around talking to people who saw Lenny. I'm guessing that's Yuri's best armor -- also noticed it's pretty much his main outfit in the game.


-- While I was at the island, I ended up unlocking another sidequest that deals with Karin. I checked a FAQ and it's called the Fort of Regret. I helped the guy who needed tissues because he died before he could...wipe. Then I got the Engagement Ring from the other guy. I can tell I'm not going to like this place.


-- I went back to La Harve to give the woman the Engagement Ring and ran across Joachim's sister -- THE PEACH BAT. I ended up getting scared when she was like "Oh yeah, five turns and I'll kill you. Game over," because I remembere I hadn't saved in a while. But the fight was nothing; it ended in a couple of turns. I'm guessing the Dark Tower is Joachim's best weapon, because that was the reward.

-- I went to France to buy a crapload of Strike Expands. I put them all on Yuri and ended up with nearly half the ring being all red, if I had to throw out a guess. Those things are damn expensive, too (20,000 per). I got a few Hit Expands and threw them on Kurando as well.


-- The last thing I did was end up going to the Black Forest (ended up talking to the guy in the shop while I was at La Harve). This place was pretty annoying with all the flower talking nonsense. The boss was pretty much par for the course, although it did have more damaging attacks. Afterward, I got Lucia's Aurora Oil.

The Peach bat is a party member in FtNW, as Joachim was to Keith in SH1. Also, Lenny has a very shocking role in FtNW.

He's been talking about it the entire playthrough. Not that I mind, but you know. I was commenting on it. It seems like one of those "great battle system, not so great everything else."


On another note, how annoying is it to get Kurando's last fusion?
