16) Man, II's battle system, I get the annoyance, but once you learn it? I LOVED it once I learned how to use it. :d I love the fandom too though, and I'm currently sending my extra copy of I to a third person now since I'm trying to send it around to people in the RP I am in.

And I absolutely LOVE every single person in the Xenofandom that I've met, a lot through this community since they've commented to me and eee felt sohappy. :D

RICHARD AND HERMANN ARE SO AWESOME I'm so glad they were in the DS game and drama CDs more.

39) MARIO RPG OH MY GOD YES. I LOVE YOU.

Learning Episode II's battle system had the opposite effect on me. ._. It made me hate it more.

For one thing, the enemy doesn't have to follow the same rules as you, and second, it made it battle extremely repetitive for me. >>

[identity profile] gaignun.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? D: I remember the Patriarch KICKING MY ASS my first play through where I failed at the system. And my second play through after I learned how to use element swords and and EATK up ethers I could whoop him down the 17k HP he had to hit before he started calling Omega. >:

But yeah, the time it took to GET IT ALL READY despite ass kicking pissed me off because while you do it the enemies come and ... kick your ass in the meantime. ;O;

[identity profile] levikitty.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It just seemed very disorganized and not well thought out to me. Double Attacks were pretty, but useless for anything except as something for chaos x KOS-MOS shippers to squeal over Grand Rondo.

I remember getting pissed that my attacks would do 100 damage while the enemy pulls off 745 or whatever and the only strategy that seems to exist in the game is stocking up and knocking the enemies up or down, unless you use some ether.

Though I'm sure some of my earlier prejudice over some of the VA changes and my loathing for the XSII art style had something to do with it as well. >>

[identity profile] gaignun.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I ... I actually never used the Double Attacks! Like, ever. XD But they were pretty!

Yeah downing was an extra pain, it's like you have to do it in order to really hit them, which it did hit hard when they were! But so much pain getting to the point.

And oh I agree. The VA changes and graphics made me sadface so much. But URTV backstory made up for it since I am a ho for them. XD

Yay! Another person who loves II's battle system. *highfives* I might be the odd one out, but I didn't really find the battle system all that hard; it needed a bit getting used to but it became more and more engaging once I learned to strategize and such.

[identity profile] gaignun.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
IT'S A NEW-FOUND LOVE. My first play through had me screaming and wanting to kill people because I didn't know how to work it at all. XD But once you get it, it gets much easier for those harder enemies. :D

[identity profile] aeris-888.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
If it makes you feel any better, I was like that too for the first hour or so. At least the dungeons weren't a hell to play though unlike some other games *curses FF 12's and Digital Devil Saga's never-ending dungeons*. But really, it's funny considering all the complaints the first game got due to its frekkin easy battle system and gameplay, you'd think people would be more satisfied with this one.

16. Same. It took me until...probably 3/4 of the way through the game to understand first time, at which point it was too late to fix all my screw-ups and I had to restart, but I was fine with replaying through the URTV story. :3

I haven't personally gotten to know very many people in the Xenofandom, but I've seen the way you all act around each other through communities and such, and it just makes me hope that our fandom never suffers from wankfests.

I KNOW~ I've actually wanted to try RPing Richard at some point, but it'd be so hard since he's so minor. XD''

[identity profile] gaignun.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Haha yeah. I managed to barely make it through the whole game when I didn't get it. Playthroughs after that made me just go "WHY DIDN'T I LEARN THIS SOONER." Even though YES going through the URTV stuff again is totally worth it. :D

Awww. XD And yeah, NO WANK IS SUPER and I love everyone. I love getting hit up by people, and it's happened so much in this comm everyone is so niiiiice.

IT MAKES ME WISH THE DS GAME GOT RELEASED IN ENGLISH. T_T And I wish someone had translations or at least a summary of the dramas, cause with that there's probably some extra stuff for RPing him. He is so fabulous though. XD

(Anonymous) 2007-10-16 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same. XD First time through, I had so much trouble with Orgulla and Margulis and Cathedral, but after that...it's really no big. XD Well, Cathedral's still a bitch, but eh.

YES, VERY SUPER. And yeah, a lot of people here are really nice.

I KNOW. D: But yeah, there probably is. He just seems so...eccentric and kinda-insane that it makes me incredibly happy. I love listening to his laugh during your second fight with them in II. XD

[identity profile] gaignun.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Orgulla PISSED ME OFF. :( And the Patriarch was my MORTAL ENEMY. Cathedral was also a ho but then I stopped attacking it off white cause then it got all SEXIEST ON ME. >:( "first we kill ur mens" ... "now your womanz!"

YES. XD His tantrums are awesome. Can (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/elthman/e912a03c.png) has (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/elthman/4a79b84f.png) some (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/elthman/d055be37.png) Richard (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/elthman/a6ff6476.png) pretties (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/elthman/4a8db97a.jpg)? :D

(Anonymous) 2007-10-16 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Orgulla pissed me off the first time because she kept healing herself and wouldn't die, but after that she was easy as crap. XD I never had enough items to keep Cathedral's status effects on me away. Thankfully, my situation with beathing Cathedral was kinda...speshul. :D''

Richard pretties! *0* Thank you~ His appearance has always kinda amused me, but I still love him. x3

[identity profile] gaignun.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. XD After the first time it was like ... HAHA I CAN STEAL AWAKENINGS FROM HER OVER AND OVER. >8D And lol II's item situation made me sad. After running around for an hour I was like ?? WHERE IS AN ITEM STORE and was crushed. I ENJOY OVERSTOCKING. XD

No problem! :D Sadly that is like ... all there is of him.
