The silliness continues.
This is segmented and edited.
I include random encounters as I move through each area as the story requires. Random encounters are a part of the game and thus, the experience you would have playing it yourself.
Notes
I had an issue with the one of the doors causing the emulator to crash on St. Marguerite’s Island, so there’s a fairly obvious edit after the party rejoins. Also, you get exactly nothing for completing the stealth section without being detected. Arguably, fighting those encounters is actually better for you. I give it a try but I didn’t spend much time practicing it, so I do get detected. Obsessive compulsives in shambles.
Additionally, the scene in the play room on the island is only slightly different for each character and you have to select the first option every time in order to get best reward from it, a weapon for whichever character you choose. I initially went with Karin as she would benefit the most from the weapon but you get a copy soon after and I enjoyed Yuri’s responses more.
Plus, there’s the whole thing with it mirroring Alice’s experience in Shadow Hearts for him. It’s kinda the point of the game, although I’m not convinced the writers realized it.
Regarding not using Lucia: Blanca does everything she can do during disc 1 but better and without the horrible risks involved with the tarot card system, which really can be summed up as “Wanna die, lmao?”
Lastly, I planned on doing all of the trials at the same time before the end of the game. I do beginner 4 to get the stud card for the final dress available on disc 1, though.
