SYNTHESIS'S PROFILE

Consider this a tip from someone whom was equally enthusiastic about this great game; there's quite a few scenario's and side-quests well worth unlocking. Since I wasn't sure how many side-quests there were, I asked about it a while back. The reply contains some spoilers, but if you want to make sure to get all of the fun (considering you're nearing the end), here it is:

Thanks for that--there were a few that I had missed. I was having some trouble figuring out what they were :D

Oh, and finishing the game did actually get me in one of those 'what do I do with my free time now...?' vibes as well. The kind of vibe you get after finishing a good series/game, which is probably the kind of sadness you meant.

Yes, exactly--how do I find another game that compares to this one that will totally immerse me in another world.

I'm pretty sure I discovered a game breaker. Early in the game, I went to Tarito City. I defeated Krissy/Miriam, but left the dynamite switch alone, thinking it would accidentally activate something. Instead, I walked toward the mine doors where Krissy had exited, ending up back on the beach. Since then, there's been a boulder in front of the mines back to Tarito City, saying the tunnels are crumbled. I lost Vivi on her date, never got to go back to fight Quoros, and I'm assuming that's probably where you get the steel for the nuclear suits. I had assumed that, at some point, I would find a different route back into the city, so I kept playing. I'm near end game, though, and about the only thing I have left on my quest list is save Tarito City, get nuclear armor and find Elf. I think I'm stuck/out of luck.

Edit: I did manage to find steel and add it in, editing my save file, so can progress happily on :D

My bad! I'd somehow confused this game with another and assumed the rtp was already installed. Downloaded the rtp and unfiddled what I'd messed with to get the game working to begin with, and viola! :P
