genji:dawn of the samurai & tales of legendia+sidequest storyline completed
5.31.2006
once more.. i'm out of games. sadly but now there's nth to play except for shin megami tensei nocturne maniacs which i completed in jap b4. i continued genji because i stopped playing it last time when i was chionging other games. genji even though very similiar to other samurai action rpgs like onimusha has its own system "Kamui". when kamui is activated the movement around slows down and the enemy will strike u. the main purpose of kamui is to wait for the chance to counter attack and press the "O" button at the right timing. this way its 1 hit instant kill and you can chain up to 20 enemies+ depending on how pro you are. of course high chain kamui kills will get you alot of xp. the game itself is v.short and there are 2 chars you can control... yoshitsune and benkei. the best choice is of course the main char yoshitsune because benkei is extremely slow and he cannot jump high. b4 i continued genji i had already completed the main storyline of tales of legendia. after i completed genji i went back to play tol, the character quests.
i have some disturbing remarks on tales of legendia as well as a few good comments of the game.
firstly... the game started off horridly. really very horrible, shirley gets captured by many ppl. first she gets captured by moses then vaclav and at the same time walter tries to catch her -.-. and senel all he keeps thinking about is shirley which is dumb because they always say the same stuff. eg: senel will worry about shirley and he selfishly wants to get her back above all things then the party will either scold him or tell him not to worry. i'm so fed up of the usual dialogue they love to repeat. its a waste of time hearing them talk because they like to repeat the same stuff. another example: when they fight the last boss of the game or the last boss in the char sidequest they show off their powers and 1 by 1 they all each got a sentence to say. then the boss will say stuff like you all dun stand a chance, u all cannot defeat me, this is the will of nerifes and all that crap then the each person will say 1 sentence like "we want to protect those we love", "we will defeat you" YOU KNOW?! THE SAME OLD STUFF I KEEP HEARING. even at the end of the stupid game... somebody leaves the grp, wun say who... but ewverybody says 1 sentence, i tink you can rougly guess wad they mostly likely wil say right. its all the expected stuff and its so long winded and stupid. and another of the most dumb thing is that the summons are released right when u finish the whole game and for wad? you can't even use it -.- so why do they even have summons lor.. haha but i must say the char sidequest storyline is FAR MORE BETTER THAN THE MAIN STORYLINE ITSELF!!!!!
