I can lead you to an optional dungeon if you want -- things will actually hurt you a little bit. but with how far you are, you should be just fine.

Oh, make sure you take the time to do some of the optional stuff and get your characters decked out. Not sure if I'm the only one who had the problem, but the final boss rocked my face when I first got there.

Hmm.. here's what I remeber of the final Boss.

BATTLE START

*Yuri turns into Dark Seraphim*

For the Children.... *Everyone is buffed with everything*

Everyone else: *Set up for combo, do combo which kills target before its turn*

At least FtNW made you wait for combo's.

okay. you can go back to Europe, right? if so, hit up Florence. talk to this guy:

then go back to the world map and you'll see a new location. warning you, it's a lot harder than what you've been doing.

Neam Revisited if all kinds of suck. I won't do that place without a walkthrough now because I have to get the Eternal Key.

then again, I never do SH2 sidequests because they're so pointless -- the game is so easy already that sidequests just make it that much more lopsided in difficulty.

I completely agree.... SH1 is such a step backwards that playing them out of order will most likely piss you off. it'd be like going from FF7 to FF1.

That would require using Lucia, but I guess I could do that. :P

Probably. I just want to play it to find out about Yuri and Alice. Just looking for the story more than the gameplay.

Well, the story was enough to get me to suffer through the gameplay, and luckily, it's a pretty short game.

But yeah, the FFVII to FFI comparison really is quite accurate.

That's NES FFI, mind you. And PS3 FFVII remake. <_<;

It's basically a straightforward RPG with the judgement ring thrown on. No combos, fusions are less unique, cast is less memorable (other than Yuri and Alice), graphics are a pretty big downgrade, music ain't as good, blah blah blah.

But the atmosphere is so damn good.

transience | Posted 5/3/2007 2:36:36 AM | message detail | #341
well...

SH1, every character has three strike zones. there's no customization. there's no "battlefield", your attacks either hit one guy or everyone. (I actually like this more.) the ring itself is tilted in a funny way that will completely mess you up for a couple of hours at least. the random voice acting that exists is completely awful and makes you cringe, along with making you laugh. the graphics are obviously sub-par - it looks like a PS1 game. all in all, SH2 is an upgrade in every single category other than difficulty.

mind you, none of these are game-breaking differences. you can certainly enjoy the game regardless. but it is definitely going to be a step back.
