Holy poo poo how am I just now seeing another TO:LUCT LP? I religiously read H10W's crack at it and now I get to read 37 pages of goodness.

Still chugging along in my all titles run. I think I have five left? I stopped when FFV Four Job Fiesta started so I'll be back at it soon.

Well, I finally did it. The All-Titles Game is complete.


SPOILER




























What do I do now...?

Now I can finally play the game!

(This is the post right before waah tells me there's actually 93 titles...)

The dumbest thing ever is making some of their drops, especially the 1H weapons, not unique. Like the game is inviting you to farm several generals multiple times. I just couldn’t do that. :smithicide:

Patch where you can reset class levels to 1 in World Tarot. That’s number one for me, even over ridiculous crafting nonsense.

I think Nybeth figured he’d reach some world-destroying dark magic poo poo at the bottom of the Palace. But no, it’s just a lava pit and a useless altar. So he changes his tune to, “Yes, I welcome death! Mwahahaha!” It’s kind of a lame turn if you ask me.

Now run the PotD again to get all the drops you missed :getin:

The act of grinding a character up to turn into an effective melee Cursed Weapon would make them broken anyway. Then you have to sacrifice them to get the weapon, equip it on another character (who is likely also broken) just to be double-broken. It’s absurd, even for this game. I did my all titles run without ever using a Cursed Weapon. The caster weapons are fun though.

I'll clarify it when we get our next update, but if you go back to one of the first CODA updates when you beat the game, it explains you can time travel in order to experience the additional timelines. It's why you can recruit and keep characters in your party in timelines you shouldn't be able to.

But the way the CODA is written with all of its flags, all of the characters required to be alive in the Law Route are the ones who get additional CODA dialogue.

It's why Cressida and characters like that say nothing.

It's the game explicitly telling you Law route is best route.

I still have a hard time with the Balmamusa choice in Ch.1 :smith:

I've started playing this game again why do I do this

Working on getting Ozma fitted out with Ogre Gear, take on a few heavenly generals I never got around to (which means grinding and making tuning forks), maybe even finish an actual neutral playthrough (which I've ignored because neutral sucks). Since I'll have Ozma with the ogre shield and dagger rather than the sword, maybe I'll even use the ogre blade to make Canopus a proper buccaneer with fusils and/or double attack. I hate you all

Guess I've been bored as all hell to do that. I beg you end my pain

Finally got my Fire Crest too....which meant I had to find the 1 wind god weapon I still didn't have....woot. sob

Heh, ironically enough I just stopped my current playthrough last week. I was cleaning out some old poo poo at my desk and found the CD-ROM for Heroes of Might and Magic III. I figured it was a nice little diversion until FFV Four Job Fiesta gets underway. I'm sure I'll come back to TO soon though our pain must be constant and sharp

Chapter 1 Ending Law

Minor complaint but I think you have these flipped. The "follow in this madness?" line is Law route when you agree with Leonar's plan for Balmamusa, and "they're as good as dead" is Chaos when you refuse.

Excellent breakdown of the motivations and character growth here in the CODA. Makes me glad I'm playing through the game again (and about to go through PotD for the first time on this save :smithicide:)

If you want to defend him on technicalities that definitely weren't intended, Vyce basically picks the path you don't. It's probably how the mistake got made in the first place.

Yeah definitely understandable. The thing that stands out to me most is the portraits. I remember reading H10W's LP and they made a point to say how hosed up Chaos Vyce's face looked. :v:

The heavenly generals are a haul. I'm not sure how I'm tackling this.

Just my opinion but I think you can be as brief as possible. They’re not terribly interesting or plot important AFAIK, just a dumb mechanic to get some endgame weapons and titles. Maybe show off one and say it’s indicative of the other 11. You can even tie that in with San Bronsa.

Philaha/Filaha/Filarrh is not the god of light.

He's the god of the Sun, and presumed creator god. This temple is probably the temple of Ishtar, goddess of light.

The difference between Lodis and everyone else is that Lodis thinks Philaha is the only god.

San Bronsa rules. You have the Palace of the Dead, with Nybeth and various lesser bosses running around looking for dark magicks and such, and now you have the divine zealot version. I also like that the Warren Report calls out Vepahl for seeking the Apocrypha, which, you know, ended badly for the last non-Don Quixote person to try that.

Also the maps are very cool to look at and also very challenging, especially if you're trying to get all the rare drops... :smithicide:

So it turns out this fight is a lot harder than I remember, even with OP characters. I didn't' take it seriously enough, so I will need to find time to tackle it properly without distractions. That didn't stop me from deciding to go ahead and writing the final actual update to the thread.

So we're spitting distance. I'm wrapping this thing up in the next 2 or 3 weeks, so get ready.
