I mentioned before that I wasted a lot of time with Phantasy Star Online. What I forgot to mention is that I don't really like Universe too much, and skipped it after playing for a few hours at a friend's. I let a buddy of mine convince me to try Phantasy Star Portable 2 (Skipped the first one since it looked like it was exactly the first Universe) and wow.
This gentleman here is me. I'm a ranger in this, though one wouldn't know it since you can use whatever from whatever, and I will be using whatever if I have to. I do range, though; the melee and tech stuff I have just if I have to do it.
In my room at this moment; I had removed all of the furniture in order to stick my De Rol Le figure in there. It's pretty huge!
My room's supposed to be modeled after some Moatoob cavern; De Rol Le fits in there kind of. He's native to there in this game if I remember correctly.
So I gathered up a ragtag group of misfit AI people and went about my way. Let the shooting beginulate!
Shooting gun weapons takes a bit of TP to use for whatever reason, so eventually I'll have to start fisticuffing things. As for now, these little guys are getting shot, and they cant do a thing about it.
One of these large monsters spawns.
Chelsea seems to think we can win this one. Well no duh we can. Though while fighting this thing, I realize that trying to get screens while playing this is a bit annoying, due to the screenshot button being the note key. (I had this set via cwcheat; it's the only thing I use cwcheat for.)
Around here is when I realized it, when the thing headbutted me in mid attack and put me right on my ass. It dies at some point, and we continue exploring the caves.
I forgot that Chelsea has a kind of.. Accent about her or whatnot. She doesn't hesitate to remind me:
She's gonna let the loose. I suppose after that she'll tell me she the whole monster now, too.
Everyone's been pretty vocal so far, sans my robot buddy Allie. I like when she says stuff, since she talks a lot of shit; but for whatever reason she's being oddly quiet.
I'm staying the hell away from this guy this time; I have my rifle out in first-person view, shooting the thing in the head. Maya's over there trying to soup him with techs, but she keeps getting downed before one can cast. Traveling on, I come across a shiny red box, a rare. I was hoping it was something good as I proceeded to jump on it. (PSO vets may remember getting stoked about finding a rare, only to find it was a photon drop.)
It's just a Last Survivor Replica. I have like twenty of those; screw that noise. The box sure is shiny, though.
We're getting close to the boss door now. Another Gohra spawns in front of the door.
Who's touching Chelsea? Not I, I say, I'm trying to back away from there. Im actually just hacking away at the Gohra Darth Maul style until he turns into soup. I decide to buff everyone really quick and head on through the door, where one nasty little flying guy dwells..
THE DE ROL LE!
I remember first starting PSO, and the De Rol Le was a complete pain to fight, especially with just a pistol. Here in Phantasy Star Portable 2 however, he's a piece of cake. Delicious cake. Angel food cake. Ala mode.
His weak point is still his head, and since you can first person view with gun weapons in this, hitting that while he's at a distance is pretty simple.
Shoot him in his head enough and the head will slide off with a nasty crunching/slippery sound, and now he'll get more aggressive with his trademark mouth-beam attack. He'll also take more damage in his head, too, which is a boon for those using ranged weapons. Don't let up on him and eventually..
He'll drop back to whence he came. Which is.. Under the water, I guess.
After he's gone, some boxes appear. I got nothing good from the boxes, (As usual) and returned to the ship.
And so ends it for today~ I'm worn out after a bunch of yard work. See everyone next time~
