Here is the other thing that I wanted to cover on the channel, but due to lack of proper instruction, I opted to cut this off right as we are able to get into the game. This video is mostly introduction type stuff, allowing you to see the world from one angle. However, when we start things properly, we will be seeing things from a different direction entirely. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djEhTmHeJ_w

In the event you do not bring Hanako to full salvation, the Departed gets upset and decides to take out her frustrations on her perceived rival in love. Some scenes afterward change as well when the characters are talking among themselves, which I show here. There are bound to be some more mentions later, but these are the immediate ones. BTW, enjoy the thumbnail while you can as Youtube may take it down. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIehcugaIjc

This is the optional boss in the chapter that can yield you the strongest weapon. It is supposed to be tied in power to the one you get for the pacifist run. Overall, it is a little more dangerous than the other boss, but not too bad. To reach this boss, you either need to come up out of the moat or find the secret passage beneath the lantern. I show the secret passage here, where you need to walk along the hall until you hear the trigger. Then turn around and the boss will be there. Otherwise, you can just go through the entire thing to find the other boss in the moat. First, for this one, you can bring the robot with if you are going pacifist (if you enter through this passage). If not, you can bring the robot and Prisoner to make even shorter work of it. Second, the boss will respawn if you beat him before freeing Goemon, allowing you to get a second sword. Third, I looted the castle for Genji gear already, so this is not done with the starting gear. Now, there is a way to cheese the boss by poking him from range and moving backward to prevent him from ever attacking, which is how you beat him on low level runs. However, I didn't want to be here all day, so I opt to take him head on and beat him into submission. Fuma Shurikens are great at poking from a distance and trying to poison him. O-Robo learns this as a move as you see at the very end, but it is also an item. If you have the Prisoner, you can even turn the boss to further burn his ATB. Just keep chipping away at him and he will go down, allowing you to claim your weapon and continue the mission. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tOnwuCl2zM

I cannot stress it enough here, get the Escape magic before leaving Baskar Village. Having to repeatedly climb and descend this mountain is extremely annoying. I don't have it here, but I am going to pick it up to prevent this tedium again. Anyway, we've reached a new village and we need to try to defend the Guardian Seal before the enemy can get there, requiring us to ascend Mount Zenom. The encounter rate here is still a little high, but much better than some of the other areas, as if the devs knew the geography was going to be more of a challenge than anything else. Upon reaching the top, we arrive just in time to see the seal get destroyed, which is our queue to descend the mountain after disposing of an enemy. Hopefully the next seal will be a little different... Also, while editing this, it seemed at times like the sound effects were slightly off. I do not have the PS1 version of the game to see if it is like that there or if it may be a side effect of the way the PS3 emulator works. I'll try watching for it in the future to see if it happens again. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVUKw_AkFKc
