Dude. What's up, or something. Had a week. Doing the work thing.. out of school finally. Don't have to go back until like the 3rd week in January.. which is cool.

Anyhow, I just don't feel all that talkative or something. Maybe I'm tired. Yeah.. probably tired. Not like sleep-deprived barbie-style tired, just like "eh, that bed's looking damn good kinda tired. Y'know? Oh well, I won't speak of it anymore tonight... 'sides, tomorrow's the big par-tee or something. I get to do linux installs at work! .. oh yeah and there's some weird thing around midnight I guess. I GUESS.

Although there really wasn't a whole lot in the box, I give you what was there. See you tomorrow or the next day, depending upon the whims of the mailbox, and well, my aggregate sleeping curve.

Brad,

In Star Ocean 2, I'm at Indaelico, but I can't beat him. I'm at level 172, but he still pounds me into a bloody pulp. Any suggestions?

Brad:
Well, this guy is mean. I mean, mean. Really mean. And I mean it. What I did to beat him was play around with Jewelry making until I got some neat little bracelets that absorb magic. OoOoooh, magic absorption is goooood. Then I beat the snot outta him. Because now instead of smashing you with nasty spells, he is healing you with them. I believe Claude is the one who can make the nice Jewelry, though other people more than likely can as well.. well, heck, let me go find the name of it.. alright, here's the scoop. Reflection ring. Claude, Ashton, Opera, Dias, Bowman, Noel, Leon, Ernest can all make them, with Crystal. Make sure to have orchestra playing, though, it's not the MOST common item. Though it didn't take me too long to make 4 of them and equip 'em around.

On a side note, if you took off his limiter.. well, gain another 80 levels, then try again. He's about 1000 times harder after the limiter is removed, and well, the Reflection Ring will definitely help, but you're in serious trouble, man.

I have some questions to ask you about the Star Ocean series. I believe you are the one who played SO2 right? Theres not much here but it's the best I could come up with. First off, I heard that the first Star Ocean will be transferred to the Game Boy Color and possibly it will be shipped to the U.S. Do you think I should buy the game boy color version if it is shipped to the U.S.? Or is it better to import the Super Famicon version of it?

Second, do you think the game boy color version will come with voices? Believe me I can tolerate them pretty well. I think the battles feel more alive with them. Sometimes more annoying.

Lastly, I heard from a number of places that Claude's mother is Iria from the first Star Ocean. (I know these facts are useless but hey they're interesting) They do look very much alike but something else bothers me. Ronixis was 38 in SO1 and Iria was 23. They were required in the game so it's possible that they got hitched, right? What do you think?

Thank You.

Hola mi taco! Muy grande es mi gato! Mi madre es muy burrito! Biblioteca con carne! Si senor! Oy! Me gusta! Espanol es no mi idioma veridad! To answer your questions, to import the Super Famicon version.. if you mean as a PSX game.. well, we've seen how poorly the SNES games translate to PSX CDs.. or if you mean to sell it as a SNES cart.. well, some of our SNES' don't work very well any longer (very sad am I.. but I'm going to get a new one sometime, I swear) .. but I'd just love to see the game come over. I haven't heard any like 100% confirmed stories on this, but keep looking for it, it could be happening. As for the voices, I liked the voices in SO2.. not that they were good.. they were just dopey in a way I really COULD appreciate. Not only that, but they make for some really perverse perverse wave files when mixed incorrectly... er... not that I've done such a thing. As for the love story of SO1.. well, I never actually played the game. :o But in Claude's quest you do find some information out about his mother, though I'm not sure if it mentions names or circumstances.. and it has been a while since I played.

Brad:
I have this problem as well, and the only solution that I've run across is that I actually found a CD holder tower (a short one, but still functional) that Playstation itself makes, that has all of its slots double-width apart. It holds like 8 of the double sized games. Too bad I have 22 PSX games that are double width. Wah.

I've actually seen the game in a Japanese shop.. so it really shouldn't be too much longer now..

2. And for that matter, is it just me or did the first one's ending suck?

Eh, it was alright. The music rocked, though. I dug the music in Wild ARMs quite a bit, really. I hope they really do it right in part 2.

3. I watch Reboot too. And season III rocks!!! Oh yeah.... love that sexy body of AndrAI's....

... Edge, I think we found you a friend :P

5. You play Tokimeki Memorial 2?

.. uhhh.. no? :)

6. With a one handed controller perhaps?

.. that just sounds like the opening to a dirty joke >:(

7. Please print this mail. The fate of the Earth (and the Wild Arms lovin' community) depends on it.

okay!

Heh.. this is why I advocate against dating RPGirls.. it just gets scary when people you know and love get into RPGs as much or more than you do. I mean, I realize how sick I am by spending time with them.. but when someone else starts getting into it in a way that is sick like my own.. watch out! .. well, maybe a partner in the insanity wouldn't be too bad.. dunno.
