That’s Phantasy Star Portable, for the PSP.  Ha ha, they share the same… …yeah.

So anyway, I downloaded the demo weeks ago and created Eri Sawachika, who looks just like her namesake, and I did everything there is to do in the demo short of grinding for upgrades, gold, and rare items.  A couple days ago I decided to delete her and create Natsume, since, well, I missed her.

Today I maxed her out at lv. 20.  I literally did not realize you could form a party in Multi Mode using AI characters.  <_<   The last Free Mission got a lot easier with help (or rather, decoys).  By the way, this time I decided not to go with my usual strategy of… well, unloading machine gun ammo, and stuck with mostly using double weapons.  Twin daggers, twin swords… Er, that’s about it.  I like using the knife / bit combo as well… though that usually devolved into me just relying on bit fire while I strafed at a safe distance.  That pretty much spelled defeat for any mob, but I got bored of it and switch back to double knives.  I love the skill combo.  Juggle of death, bwahaha.   I just wish I could find better discs for the weapons I’ve got.  I hope there’s a larger variety in the main game.

Really wish I could record gameplay of her in action.  All I’ve got is a crappy digicam.  And the damn cables I bought don’t display game video on my TV unless I use the component cables.  And if I use component cables I can’t record on a VHS because they’r f’n component cables, not A/V.  Ugh.
