Playing PS1 - Wild Arms

Welp, since I downloaded the emulator, I thought why not. The game is western RPG, full of game folklore. Here, you can play as one of three chosen protagonists that are destined to fight demons in Filgaia. You can or should I say, you must play three roles in turn cuz they have their own stories, like one of them is a [Dream Chaser], [Treasure Hunter] (always lol at this cuz this guy is all about power in his dialogue), or [Magician] who turned out to be a [Princess]. They have their own unique tools to solve the puzzle in the dungeon (Hanpan is a living and smart animal though, wonder if I should call him a tool).

The game is fun for me because it has its own difficulties. You can't change the level, though, so you need to reload from the last save you did from the game. I enjoy the lore from the bookshelves and rumors you heard from NPC. You might need some walkthroughs if you want to complete the item collection or some random puzzles you encounter. I really am not joking, I got stuck because of the puzzles being too difficult for me and I had to check one path to another just to make sure that I was not in wrong way.

The minigames you play here are fun too, like in the festival you join in Adelhyde, you can pick up  some moles or throw some ball to the target. I've played this game for 10 hours so far so I've not finished it yet. I kinda like the fact that you can change your transportation like walking in a golem or ship or answering the random trivia quest. Some of the quests are optional but I like my group to be stronger, just like Jack always said, so I try my best to complete the quests.

Upgrading the weapon (or should I say ARMs) or buying some equipments is kinda pricy but it is worth the pain usually. You can sell your items at 3/4 of the original price, I think so the deal isn't as bad as the other games which usually pay you half or less than that.

Oh yeah, since I was talking about Wild Arms, I just remember that in Japan, you can play it in mobile phone, I think. Of course the language is in Japanese aka kanji all over. I watched the video and it looks decent for me. Just, that, something that bothers me that Rudy has MP, not 0, like in the original game. Wonder what happened. Also, he's voiced by Kenichi Suzumura, I think, one of Japanese popular voice actors and also the husband of Maaya Sakamoto. It's kinda awkward to see the talking Rudy in the game but I like this kind of awkward situation.

Anyway, that's all from me today. Have fun ^^







random time when I want to play game of life on PS1 but it keeps crashing quite sometimes

one of adorable enemies I like in Wild Arms - Zed (he has cool themesong)

Unexpected Encounter

As usual, the report for Adventure Town is here. For the title, I mean the NPC is different. The combination of Ninja vs Pirate? It looks awkward in a way. It isn't like you can see the face of NPC fully like the bearded pirate npc. Ninja masked in full black. Might as well calling him man in black (no, not intentionally referring to a certain movie, definitely not.) What I hate from the quest is the time to beat those ninja. I usually sleep around that time. I don't really like to wake up around that time unless I have something on mind. It's good that I can beat it sooner and upgrade my shield first. The levels of equipments between the first 3 heroes I usually use and the last 3 heroes I use are awfully different so it needs time to upgrade them completely. Needs more money and quests to deal with them.

Oh yeah, Instlife has more improvement. I heard you can choose more names in Indonesian and also, yay for iphone users, the developer is preparing for the app. I don't know if they have beta ver since I don't have iphone to confirm lol. Must be hard to change the system over there. Welp, I am not a pro so I don't have much to comment.

Right now, I am playing Wild Arms for PSX (emulator ofc) and classic word game in android. I am not that confident playing against normal AI so I set the difficulty as very easy. At least I won. This game made me realize I have too many weird words on mind, not only English, but also foreign language. Like, you can use Qi as the word over there but they won't recognize IQ as word. I wonder why. Could it be because of it being an abbreviation or something? I don't know.

I think that's all to report today ^^ see ya~ enjoy your weekend~

New Quest (September)

About Adventure Town, I wonder if this mission is related to someone. I haven't googled it but this quest is about treasure hunting. I never see the NPC before, oh well, I mean before my old data was erased. So far, nothing much happened. Leveling up safely until level 26. I need to upgrade the weapons and other stuff, like usual. The normal quests are sometimes ridiculous that I need more than 2 weeks just to finish one =_= urgh....

Also, I try new features for Instlife. It's kinda cool. You can play as your kid. Too bad, the probability of you having grandkids are quite small. I hope the developer can do something about it. Well, it's on experimental session so I seriously shouldn't comment much about it. I didn't try much on crime activity, well, I don't really like the choices so far. Either you do drug or rob a house. One thing that I find it funny is that you can get zero inheritance from your parents. Wow, talk about being too real. I mean, it's like in real life and your parents dislike you so you don't get any when they die.











A screenshot from Nox, I think this one is funny. First time, I saw this, it's kinda scary though cuz my room was quite dark and I was too lazy to turn the light.
