In the Sky

Finally. Third day of the Conquer 'O's, and also the second last day. No more waking up early, at least for the next three weeks.

Been playing Grandia III for the past week. I only say it's good because the only other Grandia game I played was Xtreme, and it was kind of lacklustre. The only thing which compelled me to complete it was the amazing battle system. Yes, it was the only good thing about the game. And Xtreme is a dungeon-brawl more than anything else.

Well, enough of Xtreme. Grandia III started out rather strong, because I was really drawn into it for the most of the first disc. The initial party members were also very interesting. I'm talking about Miranda and Alonso here, haha.

But on the second disc, the story seemed to have less of an impact. And the final area didn't amaze me much. The villains weren't established properly. You don't even get to know his name until the last few cutscenes of the game.

Yet, above all, the battle system is really great. It is what makes Grandia III fun.

Helped Shadowwolf get some of his Blue Magic spells. Some were seriously a pain to get. I guess it all comes at a price. Since they're all free, SE can't make it easy to learn.

Oh yeah, for today's composition test, my mind was rather blank. Until I got an idea from the story of Grandia III. Heh, sometimes game ain't all that bad.

Right now, tired as hell. Night.
