Seiken Densetsu 3 - Kevin Video Walkthrough 1/3
This is the first of three videos in the video walkthrough / playthrough / runthrough / etc of the game Seiken Densestu 3 in which Kevin is chosen as the main character. This video goes from the start of the game up to right before I do a class change after escaping Bucca Island.
Gah...I always find the scene with Karl at the start so sad... :(
I must have beaten this game over 50 times or so, and I even used to keep track of all the different team/class combos so I never played the same game twice. This is a game that for me will never get old (same can be said for Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana, and Secret of Evermore)
I should point out that this could be considered somewhat of a simple run I guess since I don't go out of my way to collect claw items or coins to help make certain boss fights easier. Usually I just depend on the skills that the characters have (and I've beaten the game where there was no healer or Angela...Takes a bit of item planning I will admit at some points..) So you can see what I do here and if you want an easier time, you could go out and get some items that would actually help with some boss fights. Thankfully though in this run Carlie eventually gains some saber magic which added to Kevin's nice attack stat, simply decimates bosses. I suppose having Angela go light for her first class change helped as well since she was able to get the 2nd tier spells.
You'll also notice how I quite like the vitality and spirit stat. It could just be me, but I like having more life and MP early on, and it helps having plenty near the end. Given, you'll notice Angela and Carlie don't exactly hit for all that much (but they make up for it in healing and magic attacks during boss fights). In this run, Kevin was more than enough for any enemey...Muhahahahaha!
There are points where you see the game fade out and then back in. These are times I decided to grind a bit, and to save you the trouble of having to watch it, I made things easier. The times more or less that I grind are:
2:38:41 Grinding for a few levels
3:18:11 Grinding for a few more levels
3:40:15 Grinding to level 18 for the first class change
So with this you'll notice when I save the game at the end, it's a bit longer than the video actually is. Normally I don't try to grind in my games, but for this one, it really helps if you do. When I play this game normally, I always grind a bit here and there. So while I feel these are good grinding spots, you should feel free to grind a bit in other places, as it can't really hurt...
