... have gotten further into Romancing Saga. Now I'm wondering exactly how the remake got middling reviews. I'll give that it's a little aimless, but the mechanics are solid, and this is a game where you can have a bear cross-counter a triceratops.
Think on that. Bear
cross-counter a
triceratops. Bear on dinosaur fisticuffs of death. This is entirely too much concentrated awesome for a mid '90s SNES game, damnit.
Though admittedly at the point I'm at, the dinosaurs completely fuckmurder my entire team. One shot anything I have (and by that I mean they do enough damage per swing to kill any of my critters three times over ♥), attacks twice per turn, nothing I do does more than one point of damage. Sometimes there's 10-15 parties on the things in a single room. It's... kinda' hilarious :V And fair. These are freaking triceratops versus a forest hobo that's not even twenty yet, a wolf, a bear, and some random jackass with a sword.
Also brau pretty rapidly fell off in terms of damage, which is fairly sad. Probably going to end up transitioning him into a caster like I've done with the wolf. Yes, my wolf minion spits fireballs and calls down starfire from the heavens. Metal as hell. Not terribly useful, 'cause the damage is kinda' shitty (especially on that starfire, since it's the most basic light spell
), but goddamn.
@ NJW: Just bloody do it. Better something definitely done today than maybe done tomorrow.
