eternal_renaFinally finished Stan scenario in Yggdrasil mode. Although the ending was a bit depressing at first.
"Oh no! We're all stuck in the Demon World!" - Forgot who
"I will use my Lens Energy to blah blah blah" - Dimlos
Insert some dialogue that says that releasing that Lens Energy will kill Dimlos (Ending of Tales of Destiny anyone?)
"No! I won't allow it!" - Stan
Insert some more crap about family and crap
"We can't give up! My dad is a hero blah blah blah... We will all get out alive!" - Kyle (Always with the "Hero/Eiyuu" thing ¬__¬)
Then some more dialogue, then Leon conveniently remembered something. Something about a certain Great Seed...
"That's right! We won the Yggdrasil battle! We haven't used the Great Seed yet!" - Kyle, then he goes find it in his...uhh...belongings?
Then they use the Great Seed to wish them out of the Demon World O_o...
Then black screen. I'm serious. Black screen, then the credits pop up =/
That was...anti-climatic -__- I was expecting more dialogue about them being back on...Earth ~__~
So yeah, Stan's scenario was the last of the 8 scenarios I need to finish before Dhaos's scenario will unlock, along with the character. From Stan's scenario, I unlocked Asch, Ruca and Iria, then finished the scattered parts spread across two other scenarios and unlocked Senel. So, along with Dhaos, that's another 5 more characters unlocked, making 32 characters unlocked and 3 more to go. Finishing Dhaos's scenario will unlock Mint and Barbatos and enable you to unlock the last of the in-game Special Battles you need to beat to unlock Eugene.
Then I speed power up Dhaos with Cless XD That is just wrong lol. Getting ~1800 GP per battle cause Cless is already at 16000 GP and Dhaos was at 0. But I needed to train up Cless anyway to be on par with Kratos cause I need to play through certain parts in all the scenarios in Yggdrasil mode in Hard so that they won't struggle against the opponents in random battles.although there is no issue with the story based battles since the set GP and battle rank doesn't change so being super powered will still enable you to beat it easily... But WHY ARE DHAOS'S ARTES SO TP COSTLY??? Million Assault costs 120 TP to use and it's the only arte that can activate Shin Dhaos Laser...Tetra Spell costs 130 TP and it's not even that useful -__- Just because they're a combination of attacks... Tetra Spell = Ground Dasher + Tidal Wave + Cyclone + Explode, Million Assault = Tetra Assault + Dhaos Crater + Dhaos Laser x3
So far, the characters I enjoy playing the most are Kratos and Kohak. Shing is amusing to play because he can use Beast in the air XD I also like playing Yuri and Richter. Leon isn't too bad for me. Most of the other characters I've played and trained up to around 4000 GP are...okay. But you can't play spell casters by themselves until they're much stronger and don't take as long time to cast their spells.
GAH!!! STUPID NINTENDO!!!
What happened? The latest Firmware update for the Wii...bricked my Wii. Why? Because it was a Korean Wii region changed to play original NTSC-U/C Games. Read - ORIGINAL NTSC-U/C GAMES. I DID NOT soft mod it nor did it have a mod chip. My Wii cannot play backup games nor it's being used as a pirate console or anything. Not only that, I went to an active Wii hacking forum and they said that this type of modification, was...Offical. Allowed. Legal. Since it plays only original games. But the latest firmware update not only kills Homebrew and any other soft mods (which I don't have on my Wii) and detect mod chips? (which I also don't have on my Wii), it ALSO KILLS region changed Wiis. Right. If I had known about it sooner, I wouldn't have updated, since I don't need that firmware to play the Wii games I want to play at the moment.
PFFT. *shakes fist at Nintendo* I HAVEN'T EVEN USED THE WII MUCH AND IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT!!!
A lot of other people were affected by this too...although I dunno if their sets were soft or hard modded or not or was only region changed to play Original NTSC-U/C games (it sounded like some of them were not modded, like mine).
PFFT.
So I took my Wii back to the shop I bought it from and asked them to see if they could fix it. I told them what happened and the guy I normally talk to (he's also the one that I talked to when I bought my Wii and PSP) said that he'll ask his technician to look at it. I also ranted to him on what I said in the 1st paragraph of this lj-cut and he agrees. I hope they can fix it...I don't have my game data backed up on a SD card. It's not a huge loss for me since I've only played a bit of ToS DotNW so restarting is a small thing and losing my progress for Pokemon Battle Revolution is no big deal since I intend to bring in my own Pokemon so playing it again to the point where I stopped is easy. But the Castlevania Judgment game save...my bro played quite a lot of it and he'll have to play it all again...
But anyway, the guy also said (I hope I'm hearing it right) that he's not going to charge me since I bought the console from him O_o...I hope that's true. That would be a relief and I don't have to worry about how much the repairs would cost. But according to the same forums, it seems sending it back to the shop you bought it from and they can fix it and make it work again. So I think they most likely will be able to fix it.
I'm so pissed. I wanted to actually sit down and start playing Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for real and proper. Now I need to see if they can fix it before I can play again. If it's not fixable...then I'll have to get a new Wii =(
If I have to get a new one, I'm going to go for an unmodded NTSC-U/C console this time, so I won't run into this problem again.
Well, if it's fixed, then I'm NOT GOING TO UPDATE my firmware to 4.2u, unless it was necessary to play a game...that I really want to play. Then maybe I'll go and get an unmodded NTSC-U/C console.
Or maybe I should wait till the end of the year and get an unmodded NTSC-U/C console anyway, when I get my 13 month bonus...but there is the PS3 to think about too...and a new monitor with HDMI and/or HD ready...
At least I don't have to worry about my PSP and Xbox 360 bricking on me from official firmware updates since they're both unmodded Asian consoles (which are really NTSC-J consoles). The PSP is region free too, and all the NTSC-U/C games also have a NTSC-J Asian version which is the exact same as each other. Plus, it's cheaper.
