RGT Nostalgia Society #2 - Vagrant Story

[diapered]

Okay, teleportation is pretty awesome, finally I feel like this game is cutting me a break, being able to teleport to a ws is awesome without having to run around and deal with bullshit. Some of these knights wandering the city are more tough than a few bosses I just killed with ease O_o

you got a day to finish this game. You are the real MVP of these threads; you can do it.

 

[diapered]

you got a day to finish this game.

That's the plan. I still can't defensive chain for shit, but I think I'll still be fine, but now with teleport to a ws, this game is exploiting my rpg item/equipment micromanaging ocd which is massively slowing me down >_<

 

[moonbits]

You got this bro; I got so busy with life I couldn't keep up

 

[KaiserMk7]

I can't do long offensive chains but I can time to counter dragon attacks and tail attacks.

Can I just say I can't get over how beautifully cinematic is looks? Who cares about graphics when you got camera work in cutscenes that should have ended the debate of "Do video games classify as art?".

I also like the camera work, lots of great motion. And the cutscenes are fun.

Well, last day, time to make the final push! I think I got a good assortment of gems/equipment to make it through hopefully >_> This next water elemental boss doesn't stand a chance

It is fucking done.
I am at least 34% confused by that final shot, but I fucking did it.

I can cross this off my bucket list just in time, but good god was this last section a slog lmao

That's awesome! I'm getting slowed down... All of a sudden, NOW the puzzles become hard O_o

 

[KaiserMk7]

I'm told there's a superboss in the iron maiden you can't access on your first playthrough?

 

[Sir Auriel of Lionel]

I guess that's both my complaint and also awe in the 3d platform/puzzle design. I guess it was there to avoid the backgrounds just being static and keep the player from just breezing the game in 6 hours? I like the detail of the camera can shift and the first person is paused so you can get your bearings and find any enemies slightly hidden from view. The map also flipping to match the camera is a nice touch of detail but was a bit frustrating since the norm is usually a static map and I got turned around more than I'd like to admit.

Last dungeon. The guide I'm following says I should make a staff, but I threw away all my staff blades because I couldn't get the chain timing down for staffs , so tossed them all along with the two handed weapons because they seemed useless >_<

Gonna grind some PP for the axe (everything else is full), then hopefully finish this damn game. Well, here goes nothing O_o

On a funny tangent, I thought the 2 handed axe or polearm or whatever from the middle of the first brother boss fight was going to end up being my mankiller, but I hit goblins so many times that it became good for cutting down only them and other earth monsters.

Ok, final boss and this is bullshit Only way to get any base damage is herakles and that doesn't help much. I guess a long raging ache chain? Or go for phantom pain? Also, it doesn't help the fucker circles around at lightspeed and keeps pummeling me with spells >_<

wait, none of that spell that reduces enemy strength, or the defensive and offensive affinity-changing spells and gems, or anything like that? you can *only* self buff?

 

[diapered]

no, last boss resists all. I didn't try it, but that's what the guide I was following says.

and gems

Even with two dark infinity gems on my shield I got blown away (90 to each body part ) by the boss ultimate attack one time, but I think that was bad luck/critical/roll that one time. I was careful with hp management and a few raging ache chains was enough to bring him down, didn't even need phantom pain.

Anyway, after a few deaths beat the fucker and I am done. Holy shit was this whole game was brutal, clocking in at ~40 hours

and that doesn't include time researching. How are you supposed to get through this fucking game without a guide

And dammit I was a day late finishing

 

[Cantarella]

And dammit I was a day late finishing

i was going to call you a true hero, but now that I see you are a day late, I have decided to permanently ban you from this forum and also myspace forever. goodbye

 

[Aria of Sorrow]

Oof, I should roam the forums more. Could've joined in the party. I've already beaten this over a decade ago, but I would've loved to replay it for the thread. Ah well.

dude I had to run the last boss fight like 9 times before I got him.

I even got stuck on that stupid holy dragon just before him as well lmao

Props for sticking it out

You still can, but don't know how active this thread is going to be. Others mentioned they were still working on it. I don't think anyone would mind if you post about previous games in the new thread? idk ask @dem6n in the new thread?

That dragon wasn't too bad for me: good edged weapon chain with the two dark affinity gems to the head took him down for me, might have killed me once, don't remember. What messed with me was the spellcasters with their high chain evade, especially this asshole that just floats around

because now I see why the guide I used recommended a good staff because chasing them down/chaining is annoying. It's better to fire off an aoe spell and one/two shot them based on their affinity. But my strategy the whole game was to beat the shit out of things (I threw away the staffs). Radial surge was the only way I killed the dark spellcaster, thankfully the light affinity on my dagger was enough to get good damage through (otherwise I think I would have been screwed); needed to keep refilling mp, but got there.

Were we the only two that got it done @ThatOneLum ?
