I pulled this back out to see about finishing the game before Atelier Totori releases next week. The sad part is I may need to rush the game and then restart it. I think I’m on the bad ending track

I’ve made my way to the second hub of the game. I’m running things a bit different this time around. What I find surprising is you can complete certain objectives for the story without having the mission for them. It alters the story a bit when the cutscenes come up. For example a certain tower inside a gang territory can be turned off before you get the mission for it. The end result are different cutscenes and dialog which is what I wasn’t expecting.

My internet went out early Monday and didn’t return till just recently so I ended up dropping by a friend’s place and we played Minecraft for a bit via network at his place. We started a new world which is fine and we were able to put together an underwater base which is cool and all. I’m probably going to turn this into a subway station with rails that go from underwater to surface.

Played some more older levels to get all the weapons out of the network battles. Also spending time unlocking all of Oichi’s story events. I find that Nene’s weapon combined with the player character’s ability to increase damage can be devastating. That being said it’s absolutely necessary if you find yourself having to kill an officer while inside an area where the enemy is getting a defense boost :O

Decided to play through some more levels during lunch breaks to see what I can do about my squad levels. Still not up to snuff compared to my JP game plus I would really REALLY like to unlock Juliana again. I can’t remember the mission i was using for leveling though. I just remember I need to reconfigure the tank to operate as an ice car again.

I ended up rushing the final it of the game. It’s a very good game but the last level becomes very difficult if you don’ bring certain tools along with you. As a result I had to improvise how to deal with certain elements that they throw at you in the final part. I’m now replaying the game in the Deus Ex mode aka hard mode to see if I can complete it without actually killing anyone. Though I have to be careful, its easy to kill someone rather then knock them out since they don’t come back. The theme and message the game gives is a very powerful one when you consider it.

I still haven’t finished this game. I’m now replaying levels to level up relationships to access the weapons that each NPC can give you. It changes your own attack style. So far I’ve found that Nene is my favorite with her triple shadow ability which lets you deal even more damage to a enemy officer when combined with certain special abilities.

I finally got a chance to play the game after I got back Tuesday and was able to rip through the rest of the Shanghai area. Most of my free time Monday disappeared while playing this game. For the first time I deployed stealth and the landing system… how the hell did I play the first part of the game without them!?

I pulled this out testing out the headset I had picked up. Not the best choice for testing the audio. I should probably pull out Uncharted 2 or something.

I beat the game but got the bad ending while in the hotel. You have to beat the game on one credit (no continues) in order to get the good ending. BLAH… I’ll beat you damn it! I’ve gotten this far!

A few setbacks, mostly in relation to lava… trying to get a trench of lava to flow towards my base but working with the stuff is a bit difficult. Maybe I should stuff the entrance till I can build it out properly.

I ended up pulling this out during Dragon*Con to play with my friend using Co-Op. I had beaten the game but not unlocked everything. Funny thing is, I’ve beaten the game and had far more unlocks but this was in the JP version of the game. I’m probably going to grind out a bit to unlock more stuff so when we end up playing again, I can throw some new units on the field.
