stella deus : the gate of eternity
7.18.2005
firstly, thx to deardear who bought me a CTV last weekend. i was overjoyed, budden unfortunately.. the TV was faulty and we requested a new order to be made. We would have to wait maybe 3 days for the new TV to be ready. the CTV was definately faulty cuz the screen kept shaking and expanding and contracting :/. i was still able to complete stella deus during the weekend. the storyline is quite lame lor... in the beginning Lumena said that ppl should obey God's will for a peaceful end. then in the end when Avis's prayers were answered, she says that they should not wait for a peaceful end and instead fight for their peace. for the credits they played HolySpirit eng ver. which is not available in the OST. it's much nicer than the jap ver of the song in fact.
i think alot of ppl would prefer fft to stella deus. but stella deus is also a game with its own originality. for example stella deus has team combo atts and the battle system being somehow similiar to fft is fun and tactical. of course if u don't like challenges and u want to get Viser in the game, u should be far more higher lved than all the bosses in the game. In order to get Viser, u need to overkill all the bosses in the game to be safe because u need to fulfill 5 out of 9 overkill options but some options seem not to be overkill options, if u noe wad i mean.. anyway it was worth it for me to replay the game because i got all the 4 secret chars - Jade, Tia, Echidna, Viser. Jade is good because u can give him low movement cost and his evade is the highest among all chars. i like Tia too, she's 1 of the strongest chars and i like her combo att with Gallen! Echidna is so-so and Viser is probably better off as a healer than attacker :/. u can also make ur own equipment by fusing items together and using diff item combinations. there are also quests to earn more money and in chap5 there are char quests to get their ultimate weapons.
now that i've completed stella deus, maybe i will continue with my xenosaga2..
