Alphadia Genesis 2 does not let you cure its status equivalent of Doom. The accessory which is named after it and should presumably, I dunno, protect you in some way from it, makes you die faster to the effect so I guess you can ensure.... something? Im not sure because going faster doesnt give you multiple turn, it just means that character is guaranteed to be the first to die on the turn where all your characters die.

Ok, I think whats happening in Alphadia Genesis 2 is that however the formula for damage works theres some factor which causes you to deal increasing damage over a certain level threshold of enemy defense because I just did an attack that does 3k damage but after being boosted to 140% damage does about 10k, and after being boosted by a multipler of 3, does almost 70k damage. I did, also, one shot the boss on the first turn. Edit: Im pretty sure Im about 70% or so through the game and this game has a hero "job" you can unlock that Im not even 50% of the way to. Edit: "Adds your MND stat to your ATK stat, however MND becomes 1" I think I know whats happening here but that description is awful. Edit: The very next boss after I discovered this drains your "mnd" stat to stop my setup. This resulted in me instead two shotting the boss and it did not get a single attack off.

Googled Alphadia Genesis 2.. and it's half off right now. The paid DLC to make the game easier / less grinder costs more than the game itself right now... I am darkly tempted, lol

I am darkly tempted, lol I would urge against this. Its has an atrocious world map, an accessory system that discourages using accessories, a complete gap in spell abilities so bosses are either instant nukes or wait until you can nuke, the writing lacks any charm, and the story itself is giving FF8 a run for its money on how much humans could forget within about 40-60 years The next 3 bosses just start the fight with a move that counters all magic so you just.... wait them out until that effect ends because magic is just that much better. This goes with two earlier bosses who have a support healer add who starts the fight casting regen on themselves that heals so much health unless you can one shot them (I couldn't quite at the time) they'll fully heal and continue to heal the boss so you just... wait for that effect to end. Also the math has gotten more confusing because 3x 30,000 damage is now 60 ishk damage so I think there might be a second piece of the forumula that prevents you from rolling over that amount in a single hit because if I do the same thing with a 6 hit skill each hit does over 20k of damage now and ahhhhhhh

It early on has a character pull aside the others and explain how secret walls work to find extra treasure. After the next dungeon as far as I can tell secret walls never appear again. Every dungeon contains the same loot: 2 of 4 party member weapon upgrades (which may be the same as what monsters drop so your inventory is lousy with them) and a bundle of stat boosters for each stat. Extremely, agonizingly rarely you get 1 accessory per dungeon, and there is no way to buy accessories especially the ones you actually want that the entire games magic system revolves around. Edit: they knew their dungeons are so godawful they put, permanently affixed to the floor, colored arrows pointing you the direction to go. All dungeons are entirely linear hallways, any branch off is an immediate dead end. Edit Edit: This may be the single worst 1v1 fight Ive ever played.

I beat mother 3 again first time after the fan translation came out 15 or whatever years ago, it’s real good, better than earthbound for sure. For the ending though, the wiki/people on the internet seem to suggest that at the ending claus and hinawa are revived but it doesn’t really read that way to me. The dragon’s powers are sort of ambiguous

Alphadia Genesis 2 ends with literally paragraphs of text on a black screen. Not even a chair or clock in sight. The ending is agony; surprise it was a prequel to Alphadia Genesis 1 the whole time except literally none of it makes sense in that context and the ending has to say the literal single connective tissue between the games, a blue haired girl named Enah, is entirely coincidental and there is no connection or relation between them*. Thanks a lot game thats surprisingly genocide positive. I dont think Ill play the third one. Edit: I cannot stress how ridiculous this ending is, the main story which is entirely fantasy with the most advanced tech being "a boat" and there not being a single ancient technology or anything ends with them building a lightspeed engine to travel to a different world within one year. *Edit Edit: Oh my god the ending makes less sense now because apparently the two games are in a time loop of causality with Enah but we just literally established Enah from Alphadia Genesis isn't Enah from Alphadia Genesis 2 so garhahahaha Barudak fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Mar 20, 2024 |

Obviously, you'll need to play Alphadia Neo to get the full story. Edit - Meant to add  at the end there.

I feel like I should point out that Alphadia is a specific place and it does not have any "Genesis" in Alphadia Genesis 1 and appears only as single mention of a calendar system during the end game text dump of Alphadia Genesis 2, wherein, it is revealed, the planet already existed and had people living on it before the ending person lands their ship there. Alphadia Neo does not inspire confidence because the thing it wants to direct my attention to is they've added a fishing minigame. Luckily, for now, it seems like there is no PC port so I'd have to play it on my Xbox instead of a portable handheld so maybe I'll just polish off the holy poo poo how many games are there in the Asdivine series. Edit: I have nowhere else to put this thought but in Alphadia Genesis 2's plot, having Dark Energi is a communicable disease and hereditary and can also just be gained by eating tainted food, something which absolutely nobody knows about due to its origins lost in the mists of time of 40 years ago.

I don't know what's worse; Dragon Quest XI not having enough music to cover its runtime, or Persona 5 actually more than enough music, but you hear 90% of it only once.

Her focused strike ability and sometimes her dodge attack kind of fall short on moving targets but those were the only two I've experienced as kind of iffy. It feels like they buffed the poo poo out of her unbridled attacks or at least added a lot more mods for it so I mostly stick to those for damage. Everyone feels so overpowered in that game at some point, they really brought everyone up.

"That one Remake track is cool, let's use it once during a side-quest where you're digging up shells with a Chocobo." Original Stamp song also plays in this one specific location in Gold Saucer (near a picture of Stamp on the wall), and I haven't heard it anywhere else yet.

tbh king's field 2 is easier to play than 4 at times if you're emulating. 2's biggest problem is the inconsistent framerate, if you gently caress around with cpu emulation in duckstation to get it running at a steady framerate it's a pretty fun game, probably the best in the entire series on a gameplay level. kf4 is way slower so the bits of it where you have to backtrack around get way more agonizing and there aren't any good online resources to help you figure poo poo out in it at all unlike all the games prior, which have pretty detailed japanese guides at least kf1 is about as rough as it looks though and kf3 is almost unplayable. shadow tower has a lot of issues but it is at least a vastly more functional game than kf3, i'm honestly astounded how much majuular loves 3 cause while it's a cool game in a lot of respects it is just the most inconsistent and bad-feeling in the entire series lol

overall i'd say king's field 4 is the second best but its slow pace is just too much of a killer for me. it needs to either have less potential to force you into long drawn out bouts of backtracking or it needs to move 1.5x faster, so much of my struggle with playing it was just because the act of moving around took so long i'd lose my drive to explore areas in more depth because even just checking a single room was an ordeal and i'd miss critical poo poo when it blended into the background or was hidden behind corners as a result. playing king's field 2 on duckstation with a smoothed out framerate that game basically felt perfect to me movement wise, still kinda slow and clunky but responsive enough that i never minded having to walk back through the same areas too much. in kf4 it constantly grinded at me and made me kind of angry with the game lol

Pressing F to pay my respects, thank you for playing Alphadia Genesis so I didn't have to. I will try to keep pressing forward in The Thaumaturge instead. Rasputin was more immediately likeable than I expected, tho I'm expecting that impression may get tempered later on.

i am... really not enjoying the first chunk of shadow tower abyss lol. this feels like they realized shadow tower was too easy so they veered too hard in the opposite direction and now the game has a ton more action game mechanics to make combat feel more satisfying but i barely get anything at all to keep myself alive with and i keep having to trek back and forth between the first hub area and the two dungeons because the repair shop and save station are separated from them by two massive bridges

It definitely feels like they believe that peoples' problems are with specific aspects of the game rather than with basically the entire product as a whole, so if they turn specific knobs and tweak specific things people will finally grasp how cool and deep the game is.
