Coincidentally, I am just entering the Nementon Monastery. Brings back
memories of Koudelka, at least until the actual dungeon starts.... --- Mustache...and green... |

No, I've just been playing it for a long time. It takes me damn near
forever to actually beat games, since I play so many concurrently. And
I actually ventured into the dungeon once before, but forgot to clear
up malice beforehand and the damn masks killed me. --- Mustache...and green... |

Speaking of the last dungeon, is Yuri/Alice/Halley at 34/34/32 a decent
party? Alice is just awesome and I feel compelled to use Halley because
of Koudelka, and he's got okay healing as a bonus. --- Mustache...and green... |

the last boss will pretty much whomp you at those levels. I think
mid-40's is a good spot?, though you may gain a lot of that while
trying to get there. at the very least, re-visit the Orphanage after you've entered the last dungeon and get another crucifix. and make sure you have loads of healing items. --- i do not violation any rules "I hate you for introducing "Man Festival" to my vocabulary." - Heroic Mario |

Even in his bubble, he has to hold onto that hat so it doesn't get blown away! Kato's chin stands inconquerable even in death -- "Behold. I'm big and manly, *****."

though if you're only at Nemeton, you should be all right. if you want
fast exp, talk to.. Joshua?, in the London Rats hideout and get the
Oath Grail and kill some masks. you'll level like crazy. just be sure
to fight them in the right order. don't worry, as long as you don't examine the small gravestone in the graveyard at the perfect time, you won't have to worry about the good ending. --- i do not violation any rules "I hate you for introducing "Man Festival" to my vocabulary." - Heroic Mario |

yeah, you are overlevelled if anything. but that's how you've always been! if you don't do any sidequests or anything, you should be at a good spot come the last boss. --- i do not violation any rules "I hate you for introducing "Man Festival" to my vocabulary." - Heroic Mario |

Is it particularly troublesome to get Amon? I'm thinking that'll be the

it's in the next dungeon you do. you have to open all the treasure

stone. you'll see. --- i do not violation any rules "I hate you for introducing "Man Festival" to my vocabulary." - Heroic Mario |

Yep, Asylum is amazing. Do you see how, despite being technically worse
at EVERYTHING, SH can keep up with soley atmosphere and story? Cardinal
Albert SImon is amazing. --- "Call that a god?... Fine, stand back. Lets see if I can perform one of your so called "Miracles".." - Killer, Shadow Hearts: From the New World |

I like them fine. the last dungeon has a crappy section to it, but otherwise it's pretty nifty. the only "complaint" could be the final boss which, like SH2, is a step and a half harder than the rest of the game. --- i do not violation any rules "I hate you for introducing "Man Festival" to my vocabulary." - Heroic Mario |
| ZFS | Posted 5/7/2007 7:22:56 PM | message detail | #270 |
| Yeah. The story and atmosphere in Shadow Hearts
are really something else. Story-wise, I've enjoyed SH1 a bit more than
SH2. I'd probably give SH1 music, too, because there have been some
amazing songs in the game. Right now, I'd say SH2 is still safely ahead
of SH1, but I'll wait until seeing the ending here before saying for
sure. --- "Called 'Godslayer' by some; feared by most -- Yuri Hyuga." |

Oh, good. Hearing that makes me think I could probably get through the game tonight. Heh. It seems like this game has been a lot longer than the 14 hours I've put into it so far. --- "Called 'Godslayer' by some; feared by most -- Yuri Hyuga." |

Dammit, I just got a Game Over in Nemeton without even noticing what
the attack was. Guess I should equip some Leonardo's Bears... I haven't played Covenant yet, of course, but between Koudelka and Shadow Hearts I actually liked the atmosphere of Koudelka more. The story of Koudelka was smaller in scope, but I think I like it more as well. The gameplay of Koudelka doesn't even *begin* to compare with Shadow Hearts, though. --- Mustache...and green... |
| trannyscience | Posted 5/7/2007 7:35:59 PM | message detail | #273 |

yeah, I've heard Koudelka is all story and atmosphere and no gameplay.
SH1 is a nice balance in that department, at least compared to
Koudelka, and then SH2 just takes over in the gameplay department. --- i do not violation any rules "I hate you for introducing "Man Festival" to my vocabulary." - Heroic Mario |

Thinking about this, the whole series seems to become more gameplay
focused with each successive game. Now, Covenant had a great story, I
thought, but it's a huge leap from SH1 in gameplay, which is apparently
a leap from Koudelka, and then SH3 is supposed to be a jump up from
SH2, but with a...uh... I guess "decent" story (I don't know, I haven't
played it, but no Yuri seems like a bad thing) --- "Called 'Godslayer' by some; feared by most -- Yuri Hyuga." |

(I don't know, I haven't played it, but no Yuri seems like a bad thing) It's not too hard to get past. It didn't take me too long and I am the biggest Yuri fanboy ever. SH3 is a not as good as either of it predecessor but its worth playing, for sure. KB |

Eh, most of the appeal to me of the series is Yuri. Not saying that a
lack of him makes FtNW no good, but there's almost zero interest there
with me. I'll probably try it out sometime down the road, but no
immediate desire to go looking for it any time soon. It'd probably be worth trying if only for the fact that's it supposedly has the best gameplay in the series, and considering how fun it is in SH1 and SH2, that could only be a good thing. --- "Called 'Godslayer' by some; feared by most -- Yuri Hyuga." |

I figured it was. Yuri mentioned something about heading back to the

tackle the final dungeon. Hopefully it isn't too bad. did you get Amon? Yep. Arc may just be the most broken thing I've run across in a long time, because that battle was a cake with that skill. --- "Called 'Godslayer' by some; feared by most -- Yuri Hyuga." |

Final talk with Albert Simon is amazing. WAIT! Before you go, go to
France. On the first floor of the inn, there is a door that was
previously locked. Return to it, and go through to talk to the weapon
guy there. You see Kawashima's end. Its completely optional, too. ~~~ Deejay is as serious as they come. Beneath his sexy, stereotypical exterior beats the heart of a true angry black man. - Titan44 |

I was wondering what in the world happened to Kawashima. I think I'll

yeah, let me help out. - enter the final dungeon and exit. hit up the Orphanage. play this stupid hide and seek game and then play lottery with the kid to get a crucifix. - once you warp out, I think you can talk to Roger for Yuri's ultimate weapon. hope you've got ring skills. - buy a TON of hp/mp/sp items. you will need them. you can also upgrade your weapons with your excess money. - Arc is so awesome. --- xyzzy |

it's not long so much as the last boss takes forever unless you've got
some levels. if you don't have crucifixes it's even worse. you'll get
one off a miniboss on the way there, so all you need is one more. --- xyzzy |
