MASTEROFMAYHEM'S PROFILE

I have both games. I haven’t finished Daemons Soles yet, but I probably could if I stoped screwing around trying to get all the black/white tenacity events.

I’m a huge fan of hard games, especially difficult RPGs, and don’t tell me they can’t be done because they totally can. Anyone here ever play the original Shin Megami Tensi games? They will destroy you if you don’t pay attention to what you’re doing. In fact the company, who made those games, Atlas, is like a guru when it comes to making ridiculously hard games (they produced Etrian Odyssey I believe). There kind of my heroes.

Anyway, I’ve tried to incorporate the “Hard but fair” type of difficulty into my project. The very first random encounter in the can kill you if don’t pay attention to what you’re doing, but the encounter itself is still very beatable. Everything you fight has some sort of weakness, whether it be elemental, to states conditions, or just the way it fights, that you can exploit or work around. The game gives you everything you need to beat it you just have to find out for yourself how. And while you can grind your way though some encounters it’s only a temporary solution. Sooner or later you’re going to run into something that grinding is just not going to help against and you’re going t have to use actually strategy in order to defeat.

At least that’s the idea. How successful I am with the endeavour thus far... that’s a different question.

Awsome you're still doing this.

How about a weapon which is essentially an eldritch abomination is sword from and so much shadow magic he’s basically a walking black hole?

Are Camu and Idura by chance going to make an appearance in this game? I liked those guys. (Yes I know there hideously evil.)

I’m not surprised Obama won. After what Romney about the underclass and his attitude towards the average American in general, I’m surprised he wasn’t lynched. And here’s the kicker, the Republican party somehow thought that this was the guy to win them the election.

Kind of makes you wonder what would happen if they had, oh don’t know, anyone else, running instead... probably not much.
