Complete Chaos

Uh huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Well, that's good to hear...

I hope you enjoy it!


Let me know what you think -- negative or positive.

Thank you for the comment. Feedback is of course greatly appreciated, negative or positive. =D

Also, something to keep in mind -- some of these screenshots (well, a lot of them) are pretty outdated, so if you like what you see, hopefully the game won't disappoint.

And besides, that review was from the OLD version of this game, not the new version that was released in June.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the comment! One question though, which version are you playing, the standard or the current version (the Special Edition)? Because I just played through the entirety of the second dungeon (of the Special Edition, that is) -- without buying any new equipment. By the time I completed the dungeon, all of my characters were at level 8 without needing to grind. I fought the boss and beat him pretty quickly, so he wasn't challenging to me. I only had to heal Blaze's and Phoebe's EPs once, and I rarely healed my character's health points, and I still beat him pretty easily. But I'll reply to each of your points to see what went wrong.

1) You don't have to use the sword as your primary weapon if you don't want to. The gun doesn't suddenly become obsolete after you get the sword. You're meant to use both of them, because Eric's Shot-based techniques have certain advantages over his Bladed-based techniques, and vice versa.

2) The game is specifically designed so that you don't have to grind. Ever. If you WANT to grind, you CAN, but it is NEVER needed.

However, this game does assume that you did fight almost every encounter at least once. That said, it didn't take into consideration the purchasing of new equipment, nor does it assume that you've completed the optional quests/obtained secret items, etc. Keep in mind that: there aren't that many encounters getting in your way per map, the game gives you a lot of money and items are dirt cheap, you can save anywhere you want and there are healing crystals galore. This game does not want to torture you! lol

BUT......YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR SKILLS! =P If you expected to button mash enter your way through this game, then I'm not surprised you ran into trouble. ;p

First off, Eric, Blaze and Phoebe can one-hit-kill every single enemy in the second dungeon with their skills. Secondly, right when you run out of EP -- viola, there's a healing crystal right in front of you. Third, you were free to leave that dungeon to buy new items and return again if you were low on supplies.

Re: Second-Boss - if you fought him at level 8 or even 7, you were 100% fine. Did you really grind for an hour to beat him? O.O At level 8, Eric's, Blaze's and Phoebe's techniques should have had them dishing out around 300 hit points each. Three or four solid turns of that should've been enough to kill him. Granted, you might have needed to spend a turn or two to heal your party (if that).

There are reasons for this, however. I love modern games, so I generally tend to give them all a shot, including this one and I was having fun playing with the modern, mature setting and good story. However, the moment I was told that there were crystals that can destroy the world right after getting a sword, I had very little motivation to continue. I don't want swords and all powerful magic crystals in my modern setting games, we get more than enough of that as it is from all other standard RPGs.

This game is not -- and I repeat -- NOT about some random chosen warrior who gets a sword who must save the world from magic crystals. Also, it is never stated that the Chaos Stones will 'destroy the world'. What they do is cause mankind to basically run wild. When all three are used, they completely obliterate man's self-consciousness and self-awareness. Man will lose the ability to think about their actions first and consider the sequences of their behavior.....they will literally do whatever they feel like doing at that moment... which can eventually lead to several nonsense wars breaking out between countries all over the world thus subsequently resulting in the destruction of Earth (physically caused by man, not the stones themselves--although they played a somewhat indirect role in that occurrence). So yeah, that's what the Chaos Stones do and that's what makes them extremely dangerous. They heighten man's animal instincts and destroy what makes us human -- the ability to think, reason and feel remorse.

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally don't want to say anything else because I don't want to spoil you but the game's plot changes within every dungeon. The ending sequences are vastly different from the beginning sequences. I'll just say that. Admittedly, the first two or so hours are a little slow, but the game picks up immediately after that.

In short, keep playing (pretty please?)! I think what happened is that the first dungeon/boss were so easy, that all you had to do was button mash, so when you got to the second dungeon the difficulty spike was rather...noticeable, to say the least. However, that dungeon was meant to let players know the importance of using their skills. There are a lot of RPGs where you can press enter all day and call it a day..................but this isn't one of them. ;)

I mean, sure, you CAN enter-mash through every regular encounter.......but the battles would take sooo long. It just wouldn't be worth it when you can just knock them out with one or two shots using your magic/techniques. =P

I hope that helped.
