RM2k3? This wasn't that advanced yet, this is vanilla RM2k.

Anyway I could totally have evented in a map. And probably should have.

Energy Suckers: I think you won a battle of attrition and they ran out of MP. Best strategy in that fight is probably to spam Flux (you made almost no effort to keep your Energy up, I noticed) or using Twitch to confuse one (of course I can't remember if they were actually susceptible to confusion). Upgrade also adds substantial hitting power to Carter's weapons.

"That's REFMAP"

This was absolutely from my fucking Graphical Consistency LOL how does it work stage.

"I'm just gonna keep quiet until the cutscene ends if you don't mind"

No problem by me, I haven't seen this cutscene in 8 years!!!!

Aether Nightwurm: You are correct, Flux is "Int" based and thus its damage is not increased by Upgrade. I hadn't even thought about that but I guess I coulda made that more clear, huh. It is so nuts that Carter is still barehanded at this point. You have traipsed past two or three weapons I think.

"This is what I don't like about many games..."

Man...me either, nowadays! Xenosaga did this to me the other day (I had to play for like TWO HOURS before it would let me save) and I was like "seriously motherfucker?". I didn't even realize that I had Xenosaga'd motherfuckers in Iron Gaia.

I know - I keep on mixing them up throughout the LP (like a lot of things!), sorry.

Like a mini-map or something? That'd be a bitch with 2k/3, surely.

I THINK this was the battle in which I realised that I ran out of Energy restoration items. Not sure.

Happened to the best of us.

Were the weapons sold in shops? I probably just didn't see them, hah

Yeah, I quit Xenosaga pretty abruptly once I realised it didn't really care about the user experience.

EDIT: Actually wait, it was Xenogears that I tried. Same principle though, I bet.
