It takes time to add skills though. And given that I'm running a maximum-efficiency LP I can't mess around in menus!

Mimer's well is what he dropped his eye into. He also hung upon Yggdrasil for three days to learn to Skald, that is, music magic stuff.

Level Scaling a hate story: It's a bad idea but Square Enix did do it again. I know for a fact Last Remnant has levels scaling so it's best to keep that poo poo as low level as possible to limit the enemy's options.

I 'liked' how it worked in Oblivion. Yeah, of course random bandits would rock daedric armor!

Are you that powerful, or are the Bonus Bosses just that well balanced and/or weak? You couldn't even scratch them a few videos ago, but those fight seem fair, but rather easy. Which is a good thing, but I expected some more strategy required - so far the most strategic approach you had to use was the Revive the meatshield, and even that was set up partially by the Boss.

I predict The Queen of Ice will be rather weak, or have some annoying gimmick to make her more annoying without it actually making sense, gameplay-wise.

Also, is it feasible to have a team of God Golems or are they expensive enough not to allow more than one present, if one were to be sensible?

I hate to bring up Dark Souls, but seriously that's about the only game that even though it never does level scaling... Pretty much everything isn't a pushover. Like you can still get your poo poo hosed up by the normal mooks if you gently caress around.

It's sort of a combination of these bosses not being quite as strong (Like, the Lord of Earth had basically 20,000 HP and these bonus bosses have around half that, though they have had higher damage numbers) and throwing together seriously strong team compositions/throwing around EX attacks like candy.

We will be showing off the gods and the temple golems, since we have the cores, but a bunch of them are starting off at level 1 and take a fair amount of gem so I might need to do some offscreen grinding.

Sorry about the big long wait everyone. We were working with new equipment and that always makes things a bigger pain.

Are you taking suggestions? Because there are a few XBox games I didn't play and would be want to see (not necessarily because they're bad, I just haven't had a chance) think would be a good fit for your group.

I think Numbers has an idea for what he wants to play next, but I'd be interested for something either to stream or in case he's unwilling to get through his game.

I'm insulted that you think I won't make you suffer all the way through Chrono Cross the way you made me suffer through Enchanted Arms.

Alternately, we could play FF9 for something everyone will (should) enjoy.

Man, if Enchanted Arms wasn't a game I actually liked playing I probably wouldn't be doing this LP. And it's not like you're suffering at all, you're barely paying attention.

Red Eyes Black Dragon~ It does kinda feel like everything tends to reference everything else in japan. At least pop media like Yugi.

Edit: Even though the black dragon here isn't anything like that.

I'm pretty sure everything is yugioh.

Anyways, we're (finally) back on schedule with recording, so I have another Update! We're running through the optional hard dungeon because apparently it's full of golems and weapons to make. I also brought all of the god orb golems along, though the real god golem is 2D or not 2D.

Yeah, that is pretty necessary. Though even with that, I'm down on the possibility of actually getting through this dungeon.

If I get brick-walled, there is basically no chance that I'll do the piles of grinding necessary to get enough HP. Hell, I've even capped a bunch of offensive stats. Though I will start dumping all of my spare points into agility so maybe I can start going first again.
