Somehow I get a feeling that some members will quit because of this...

f

I've got Depression as well...

f

I wish I don't live in this world at all... The reality is cruel... and sad. Lies are covered with more lies, and under the huge pile of money, there are corpses. Well, I think I sounded too pessimistic.

f

It's been a long time since I've come to this forum... Well, welcome to MT, and have a nice stay. I've been here for some time, though my levels don't look like it, since I don't come to chat here often.

I've played further into the Japanese version of the game, so here I am, reporting everything I see, though I don't understand a single word of Japanese. I'll post this when I still have my memories fresh. The game starts with you, Calintz, as a young child, in a burning village, surrounded by some four-legged creatures and a black knight. A man in white comes and saves you with his amazing swordsplay and speed.

I've to say, the flames in this game is better than Final Fantasy X-2's, but the environment graphics are pretty much the same as FF's, perhaps better, but definitely not inferior. The character's faces were great, unlike FF, they are always detailed (even if not always, most of the time, 'cause I can't really see their faces in battle).

You play as Calintz, and you awake in your bed, going around this building gathering your allies (3 of them), one really sexy woman in red, one slim guy whom I almost mistook as a girl, and a muscular man. The background music is Crimson Stigmata, I think.

Alrighty, as you leave the building, you are thrown into a battle tutorial. I've said that it's like Shadow Hearts, but let me elaborate on it.

Each character has his/her own range, a circle around him/her that shows the radius of his/her range. If an enemy is in your range, you can attack it. How do you know that you can attack? Well, as the enemy comes into your range, the buttons on your controller floats up.

For example, Calintz's attack would be 'O, O, O'. Well, these three 'O's will surface on the screen in a circle, with a box of some sort on top of the circle and as you press the first 'O', the other two will circle upwards to that box, and as it enters the box, you must quickly press that particular button before it leaves th box, or it'll be a miss. Reminds you of DDR? It isn't anything like it, but it bares a small hint of resemblance. If the button is pressed when it is exactly inside th box, it'll be a 'Great', and if it leaves the box a little, it'll just be a 'Good'. I think three 'Great's give you a critical hit.

In the battle field, there are two bars at the top right hand corner of the screen. The first bar represents the enemy's bar, while the below is yours. Whoever's bar fills up faster gets to attack first, and has to be in range. There's an arrow on the bar too (both you and the enemy), and when the bar fills pass the arrow, you or the enemy can attack.

Like Star Ocean, you can switch characters with L1 in battle, but only one character moves at a time, and that character is you. The currency in the came is 'Sid', but that doesn't matter, does it? Good thing there's only HP in this game, no MP, so don't worry about not having enough mana to cast magic. Pressing the triangle button during battle gives you the item command and stuffs like that. Oh, you can only have three characters n a party.

Lessee... Erm... Oh yes, Save Points. They're huge, so you can't miss'em. They're green and nice... >_o When you access a save point, you reach a menu. The first one is to save, which is self-explanatory. The second one is to give gifts to your allies, making them happier and like you more. The third one is talking to your allies, and depending on your choices, they will like you more or less. I accidentally got the woman in red to hate me. ;_; I feel so bad. Anyway, the last one is to Rest, heals up your party. Nice, eh?

Well, I think that's about all. Hope you're pleased with the info.

Meh, I beat Ethereal Queen in the first round... Can't believe how many Revival Stones and Sages I used though. I used Valkyrie, Elwen and Alicia against her, and when I got Max Volty, I ordered Valkyrie to use her Volty Blast. The second time I've charged up the Volty bar, I used my own Volty Blast, Army of Shadows.

The human side's better if you want to challenge Ethereal Queen, since you can have the uber powerful guild masters to be with you. You remember that Gabriel scene? It's hilarious. XD

*looks around and waits for pics*

f

a strawberry clock...

f

Seems like you found the wrong thing, but thank you. There's a TON of Valkyrie stuff there! They seemed to have messed up Radiata Stories with Star Ocean in that site you gave me, but it's alright... Anyone else got pics?

f

Wee! I played Magna Carta's Japanese version! I've only played a bit though, so there isn't much I could say. The graphics are about the same as FFX, but better. The battle system is like Shadow Hearts; you've to press the correct button at the correct time and stuff like that. Too bad I don't understand a word of it, and I'm pretty much wandering around the game without any idea what to do.

f

I've got the Japanese Magna Carta (or was it Korean? I dunno...), and the battle system's pretty weird. It's like Shadow Heart's Judgement Ring system, but it's different. You gotta press the button at the right time, or the attack will not work. I've only played a beginning a bit though. Pretty frustrating for me at first, since it's been so long since I played Shadow Hearts. The CG graphics are great, and so are the game graphics.

f

Quite a lot of you have played it, but has anyone fought Ethereal Queen and Lenneth Valkyrie yet? I've completed the game already, and I am currently looking for their full body pics. I've already found Lenneth's Friend List pic and another screenshot, but that screenshot had a big 'PAUSE' in the middle and japanese subtitles at the bottom. I've also found an Ethereal Queen's pic.

Lenneth Valkyrie: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/waterlilly/so3/valkyrie.jpg

So... anyone else got their pics other than these two?

f

I can see again! *slams into a wooden pillar* Eh, I must be hallucinating just now. j/k
I can see the images again now. Seems like it's fixed.

f

Grr... Can't view the images! It's showing the thumbnail perfectly, but when I try to download them, they don't show. What's happening?

f

Unique.


No one is the same, right? Thus we're all unique.

f

Ahahaha! End of world, huh? Why don't you look at this, then?

Who am I? What am I here for? Why did I even exist?
Reality is cruel, and lies are covered with more lies in this corrupted world. I am sickened by reality. Lust, greed, anger, hatred, vengeance, why do they exist? Don't think too much, I often tell myself. Just live life as it is. I exist because I exist. My goal is to be a great roleplayer and help others out as much as I could. I am myself. I never really thought about all these... Maybe I should give them a thought.

Quote by ecchi87Long hair for me, as we are all anime fans i presume, long hair is better!
Not to say short haired girls arent nice, its more to the type of person.

Yup. I like long hair too. I don't mind short either. I don't mind the looks, actually, more of the personality.

f

Welcome to MiniTokyo.Net! Hope you stay here, and I mean STAY.
Have fun here!

f

Ah... I got Schwarzwald too... o_O
Only that I wasn't clicking random buttons.

f

coming from a torch...
(wait... that doesn't sound rite... er... never mind. >_<)

f

I'm sorry for being late! Happy late birthday, Yumi-chan!
It's been a while since I've came back to the message board... so, I apologize for my tardiness.
**gives shyxsakura a cake**

f

The ability to see the supernatural is a lot sronger in younger children, especially babies...
I don't have the third eye, but I'm extremely sensitive, if you get what I mean...

f

Yeah, I'll keep dreaming. You're one of those who're awake.
