I love Miiverse

So remember when I said my Roc's Cape wouldn't work in that underground section in my last post? ......I feel sheepish, but it turns out all I had to do was hold the button down to double jump, instead of pressing the button twice. Well THAT'S counter-intuitive. But I am happy to announce that I have finally beaten Oracle of Seasons!

I was so nervous going into the final dungeon (if you can call it that). The atmosphere was threatening, and what you can't see is the lightning that kept happening every few seconds.

The final boss was really difficult, but I persevered.

All of these photos are from my posts on Miiverse. I am loving posting my own screenshots from the games I've been playing. Not all of them allow screenshots to be posted, but I am having fun with the ones open to me. :)

Din has been saved, and I look forward to continuing this journey in the sister game, Oracle of Ages.

Also of note is my most recent achievement in Fantasy Life!

This may be the only game I've ever played where I've found crafting fun!

So, what games have you been playing lately? Whatever they may be, I hope you are having as much fun as I am!

Sad Ending and Exciting Beginning

Last night I was playing Oracle of Seasons, and I came across a rather frustrating conundrum. In Level 8, the Sword and Shield Maze, for some reason my Roc's Cape would NOT work in the first underground section I encountered.

For those who have not played the game, you need the Roc's Cape (what I have equipped on the A button) to double jump across that gap. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked. The Roc's Cape even works on the upper floor, so I knew it wasn't a timing issue. I just kept falling to a very fiery death. In lots of lava. *sigh* So unfortunately, that is the end of my Oracle of Seasons playthrough. And I was so close to the end of the game too! Hopefully once I get to Oracle of Ages there won't be any sort of glitch like this to deal with.

On the bright side of things, with Oracle of Seasons no longer in my game rotation, I can start a new game. The next one in my pile - Tales of Symphonia Chronicles.

This is the game that started my love for the Tales series, and I'm super excited to play it again, this time with Japanese audio! I originally played the Gamecube release many years ago, and this HD remaster allows me to have voiced skits (finally!) and access to the game's sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World, something I've never had the chance to play. This will be a long journey, but I plan to enjoy every moment.

New Beginnings

Wow, it's been a while. As per request, I am updating. It's hard to believe that almost a year has gone by. Many games have been beaten, including two games in Japanese! I was finally able to beat Tales of Destiny 2 yesterday evening.

This was a really fun game, and I learned quite a bit in the process. It was especially difficult navigating the menus and upgrading equipment, as I couldn't always tell what things meant. But with that game, I am now up to the 5th installment in the series, and the one I first played many years ago - Tales of Symphonia. I should be starting that up soon.

I also started The Last Story today, a game I bought months ago and have only now gotten around to playing seriously. It should be an interesting journey.
