This is the video where you get to see some of the additions to my team that will be lingering around for quite awhile. The first of which is that Gigalith joins the team, which I am able to get since Blue was able to trade it for me. You will see Machamp evolve here while he gets Gigalith, but then he returns it to me so I have a ringer to use against Kabu. Other than that, I will pick up a Litwick which will be our fire type for the remainder of the game. It will take a little while for it to be ready, since it is not a Pokemon that evolves easily... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wrUQfhRYNc

Here is the second of the three new secondary objectives, and this one I find a bit more annoying than the fleas (I have not done the 3rd one yet). You need to find these hanging membranes and shoot them to release the seed. Once popped, you can find the seed on your map as a yellow dot, but you need to be able to see the ceiling to find them. As a result, biomes like this one can be extremely difficult as the ceiling is very high up. Overall, this mission very heavily favors the scout as you have the flares for light, plus you have the precise weapons to drop them in a single shot. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5F9nra9pqM

So let me ask, did you learn the game's lesson? Upon confronting Odio, you get to face an abstract face and upon wrecking the eyes and mouth, the true target comes forward. When you defeat that, you will need to decide whether love can conquer hate. Should you choose that there has been enough death and carnage and choose to leave, Odio will throw one more tantrum, making the characters fight their chapter bosses. I believe the bosses are the same strength that they were back then, but everyone has grown so much since then that they win with ease, even if they are without their team. In the SNES version, this would be where the game ends, but this new version gives Odio one last hurrah where all seven characters must unite to give Oersted some redemption. With this, hopefully you can understand why people are so disappointed by the failure to translate Pogo's lone word. Odio (Latin for "I Hate") and the first word being its polar opposite pretty much made the theme of this game. Odio subjects all of them to horrible things, extending the chain of hatred, and each one of them refuses to yield and become like him. Even after confronting the man pulling the strings in each of their eras, they remain firm in their resolve and ultimately, there is nothing Odio can do anymore to any of them. Oersted achieving some redemption here is new, but it does help resolve how everyone can return to their homes. Gameplay-wise, I think this is one of the better examples of 90s era RPGs. Sadly, the individual narratives are a little lacking since we only get a couple hours for each of them on average, depending on how thorough you want to be in some chapters. Instead, we have to fill in their blanks. Sadly, if there were to be a sequel to this, it would have been made already. I do not trust modern Square-Enix to be able to deliver on something like this. By some miracle, we got this piece of gaming history, and now the world is able to enjoy it. I think the best way to play it will be the inevitable PC port, but if you can't wait for that, the Switch version is strong on its own. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ayKktITiRM

I went overboard here. We seriously recruit 9 characters in this video when I normally wanted to do 5 max. Part of the reason for this is that I layered things to be time efficient, which is why we're recruiting a character on 4 minutes average. The rundown is as follows: Aire wants a foot race. If your speed is high enough, you get the recruit. If not, come back in a bit. Maureus wants an ally with a large MP pool. Falward at this stage has enough, so we get him (this is why I show Falward). I have this one and the one above because I wasted so much time fishing... Fume, Enoe, and Larla require the Mission Guild to be built, which requires the level 2 castle. Both Fume and Enoe will come once it is built, but Larla requires an Epic Success mission result. You can stack the teams to make this pretty easy to come by. Paquia and Mandie need eggs. They drop from a plethora of monsters, and you may have the 5 that you need. If you don't and are having trouble, you get your first drop boosting accessory in the dungeon where JC joins, so you can come back later. This is too early in the game to really get anything of value out of egg racing, so unless you need to burn time, don't bother with it. Douglas just needs some iron, which is easy to come by. Pop into the well and you can grab some at the end of the dungeon. You do not need it in your inventory, just mined. This means you can leave through the castle instead of forcing your way through the mine. Sadly, you will need the next castle upgrade before you can get your money's worth out of Douglas. Lastly, Isha is the annoying one. She is the first permanent recruit from the Rising game (Garoo and JC will be guest characters first). She sends you off on a series of fetch quests that you will need to knock out. The good news is that she is a very good mage, possessing a row attacking Rune and a good MP pool if you want to use her as a healer. When I break the game later, she will be taking over healing duties from Falward. Plus, Isha is required in order to recruit JC. I don't think JC will let you into her optional dungeon at all without Isha, so you will be losing out on the drop boosting accessory and the money making accessory. There is no pressing need to get Isha right now, but you can get the Cockatrice Egg while getting Maureus like I did, so it doesn't hurt to play her game. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVgKjOut4Y8
