I forgot today's progress! (didn't have time for Monday)


Demon's Gate
Back attacks give a huge enemy advantage since they aren't affected by the player's row, so every back attack got replaced by a Pincer. The player can't run so it isn't a perfect solution but its better than what it was before.

Also replaced a FuckYou chest because those things are stupid and I needed more 'Return to Town' items available for free.

The Pokemon D/P Battle Tower is the most rediculous difficult pile of shit that's come out for a current system. It might as well be the Computer Happy RNG Hack Time for all the time QuickClaw+InstantKO's open up and when your moves miss.

Other hard games for current systems (of varying difficulties)
Final Fantasy 3 DS
Super Mario Sunshine (that volcano boat part can die in a fucking fire)
Odin Sphere
Valkyrie Profile 2
God Hand, Hard mode, KMS run
Bionic Commando Rearmed, Super Hard
Contra Shattered Soldier
Metal Gear Solid 2+3, European Extreme
Metroid Prime 2 (or just the Boost Guardian, that fucker is a punch in the face)

I agree there's a lot more difficult NES games (Adventures of Bayou Billy, Deadly Towers
, Zelda 2, ect.), and except for RNG hax none of the above come close to Space Ace in absolute bullshit hard.

Square-Enix release dates for early 2009

Here's hoping that Tri-Ace can fix the biggest problems of SO3 for SO4. And maybe this time it won't involve getting stranded on a medieval-era planet! :|

My username is directly stolen from the Dynasty Warriors 5 soundtrack chosen because I'm a huge Three Kingdoms fag, its my favorite track from the game, and because its the track for He Fei which involves the sexiest guy around: Zhang Liao!

Hrm... maybe my version's different. I bought mine back in Germany. Is there more than one FFX International version? That would be a simple explaination for this.

Possibly. I wasn't that intersted in the International version since I'd never get to play it so I don't know how many versions were released, and they did jack up Omega's HP so he wouldn't die in a single hit anymore.

Did I say every single game is easier? No. I said teh dificulty level is higher, difficulty level being the average difficulty of all games for a console system. You cannot deny that games overall are harder now than they were. KH2 is easy you say? Well then God Hand evens that out nicely, to use your own example. For SNES, we have Kirby Superstar counterpointed by... Super Mario World. Seriously - I can only think of maybe 2-3 SNES games that might pose a current-gen level challange, and they're now worth roughly teh same price of a brand new 360 game, or more. whatever tho, I put in my opinion, so don't mind me =/

I'm talking about that no generation has a consistant level of difficulty. For every system theres games that range from rediculously easy to ball bustingly hard and getting the average difficulty for a console with hundreds of games is both rediculous due to the number of games and that the difficulty is subjective between people.

Plus the SNES has Space Ace. It would take dozens of Kingdom Hearts 2 to counterbalance that game.

Blitz Ace hits 9 times. and I'm pretty sure you're misremembering Nemesis too. This video has International Nemesis defeated in 15 minutes by a solo Tidus. If Nemesis had 210M HP, he'd have to do 233K damage per second instead of 10M HP Nemesis' 11K damage per second.

Not trying to discredit you or anything, killing Nemesis with no sphere grid is insane. I think you're just not remembering stuff right.

Demon's Gate isn't finished, but the currently assumed final boss HP is around 4000 HP. This number will probably be thrown out the window though since I redid the stats gained on level up and how easy it is to power level stats.

Ah, International version. That explains Eraser. How did you kill Neslug though? When he's in his shell he's immune to physical attacks and recovers thousands of HP per turn and another (forgot his name, I think he's before Neslug though) whose counter attack removes protective buffs including Auto-Life.

I had no idea that First Strike activates after being revived though. That's a brilliant way to get turns between getting killled/revived instead of the boss getting another before Rikku can get off another HyperMightyG.

Do you have a source on 210M HP Nemesis? Everything on GameFAQs says he has 10M HP, international version included.

I did 20~30 damage a turn to boss with 210 million HP. Do the math.

And, no, I didn't know the combination for "Trio of 9999" at the time.

I had to leave my ps2 running overnight. Counting breaks, it took nine days. NINE DAYS OF SPAMMING THE ATTACK COMMAND AND HYPER-MIGHTY-G.

I'm curious to how you beat the guys leading up to Nemesis. Did you use Zanmato? Aeons with given stats? Even then, what about Shinryu? If I got through a few thousand rounds of him without Eraser I'd buy a lottery ticket to take advantage of the four leaf clovers I'd be swimming in.

(Low level games really interst me, the strategies required to survive attacks that would normally be instant death across the party and using game mechanics that normal players didn't even dream of trying. And a slight correction: Nemesis has 10M HP. I don't think any FF game has gone into Disgaea-levels of rediculous HP levels yet)
