The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • So let me get this straight. I have to suffer through the Battle Arena, to get the best suit of armor in the game... even though you can't even GET INTO the Arena until the game is all done anyhow. Jeez...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Seriously... by the time you are strong enough to survive the Battle Arena, you don't need a fucking better piece of armor anyhow. And jeez... there's only ONE area at the top of the castle (with one boss) that doesn't need to be beaten in order to access the Arena. But unfortunately, some of the most useful accessories for beating the arena... are found from creatures in THAT same top castle area. So beating the battle arena, after that, becomes purely a way to get 100% map completion (and maybe help out with Dracula, although, the Arena is harder than he is).

Frankly, I had more fun just killing those Arch Demons 1000 times in a row to get one of the DSS cards. At least that was repetative, not excruciating. Maybe the battle arena should have always been accessible, and that it would give a certain new item after each tier of the Arena itself. Or maybe even make it so that one new magic item (from the bosses) is needed to get to each new tier of the Arena. That woulda been cool. Oh well, still the most kickass game out right now... just ranting.</div>
