Houkago Game Time

Main reasons I love tri-Ace

Comment

I have played a lot of RPGs lately that I didn’t enjoy. I only recently picked up a PS3, and I feverishly bought all the games I had been missing for the last half-decade: Final Fantasy XIII, Trusty Bell, Atelier Meruru, Atelier Ayesha, Dragon’s Crown, Senjou no Valkyria, Demon’s Souls, Tales of Graces f, Cross Edge, Ni no Kuni, and Trinity Universe. I had some other games on Xbox 360, and I did enjoy them, but that is besides the point.

Among all of the aforementioned game soft, only Cross Edge, Dragon’s Crown, and Demon’s Souls managed to hold my interest for more than 20 hours. The rest were dropped within the first 15. This left me desperately searching for RPGs on the 3DS or Vita in hopes to find something that I could sink my teeth into. Pocket Monsters X has a popularity that I do not understand; I find it to be one of the most unrefined and poorly paced Pokemon games since the abysmal generation 3 games. Bravely Default is okay I guess, but it’s a predictable and ultimately easy game. Kakusei is an SRPG, so while fantastic, it doesn’t count.

As I was hopelessly browsing 3DS titles in Famitsu’s database, the cover of Labyrinth no Kanata caught my eye. It wasn’t until I was already invested in the idea of purchasing it that I noticed it was developed by tri-Ace. Yup, instant buy from me. Now, I’ve just put my 3DS down after my first playthrough, and am feeling highly satisfied for the first time in awhile.

Hey hey, right now, where are yooou?

Been awhile! After leaving Hiun City, you immediately get stopped by Bel♥. Battling her was fun, and her monologue afterwards as really cute. I think I’ll post all of it.

Badge #003: ビートルバッジ (Beetle Badge)

I fixed my graphical errors. I was using the wrong “Shadow Curing” AR code; I was kinda wondering why my shadows weren’t cured at all (lol). Game looks 100% proper now (above is SS that shows proper tree/bush lines + building shadows), so I’m pretty happy about that. Might retake those SS from that cool area in Sanyo City.

Anyways, Bel!

Badge #002: ベーシックバッジ (Basic Badge)

Aww butts, as I was backtracking to check out places to cut with HM01, I found some shaking grass. Getto daze. タブンネ are kinda cute, but also kinda derpy. That only adds to their charm, though. Was worth going back for that Super Ball and Nice Potion.

Btw, I forgot to do it earlier, so here are proper screens of Touko’s fine shorts & おしり(BUTT):

Badge #001: トライバッジ (Tri Badge)

あたし　って　サイコウ♪！ (I’m the best ♪!)

I’ve already played Pokemon White a little bit before, on a legit copy. I got as far as the third badge, but switched to emulator because I wanted to start taking screenshots and stuff; so I started over.

I also hacked in my own starter pokemon, because I like it more. I will be using this Pokemon throughout most of the game. It’s a ピッピ(Pippi/Clefariy) named ののワ(Nonowa).
