"Dispose of Mustadio!"

Worker 7 get, yaaaay! Oh man, that cutscene always cracks me up! Ramza's panic is just so hilarious.

On another note, I also obtained the Tynar Rouge in the Agrias subquest. Mustadio is a darling. I do wonder if he actually has a crush on Agrias or something, it's adorable in either case. But you know, I think everyone loves Agrias.

Mustadio hates me!

Over spring break, I managed to get into chapter 2, where Ramza is now 17/18 years old and working as a mercenary under Gaffgarion. Man, that extra F in his name is extra gay!

I love the CG cutscene with Delita and Ovelia by Zeirchele Falls, that was gorgeous. Delita is kind of a douche, with his vague and dark comments about everything, but I guess that's how he gets things done, by not letting other people in on his plans. Ramza still looks like a lost little puppy, d'awwww...

Oh man, getting Mustadio is always challenging for some reason. Sometimes Mustadio cooperates and sometimes he doesn't. Because Ramza is an Aries and he is a Libra, we have the absolute worst compatibility ever, hah hah. I'm not too hot with Agrias either, her AI is quite uncooperative and she often hits allies with the sword spells.

My other favorite scene happens soon after this, when Ovelia is confiding in Agrias and Ramza overhears them. Then Mustadio, that rascal, hollers at Ramza and he tries to shush Mustadio up. So cute! It was never clear if Alma taught Ovelia the leaf whistle thing, but Ramza's earnest effort to show her how to whistle properly was made of adorable-ness.

Again with the Delita being vague towards Ramza, his bestest friend! But I like the dialogue of the Warjilis dock CG cut scene, very moving. It makes me wonder if Delita guessed the truth behind the Zodiac Brave stones or if he knew but just didn't care, as long as he could use it for his advantage. Ramza's lack of eloquence never fails to amaze me. Such the innocent!

Welcome!

I CAN HAS NOZE NAO?


Greetings, noble reader! I just wanted to start off with a warm welcome to whoever is reading this, if anyone at all. Probably not...

My brother and I, with great cost to our pocketbook and grievous injury to the truck, purchased a refurbished PSP just for this precious game. At this point, I have logged in several hours and leveled Ramza (an Aries) up to level 7. The gameplay is as delightfully challenging as ever. The opening CG movies are gorgeous, and the voices are as stuffy and medieval as I would have wanted. (Though what was with changing Ramza's infamous "Surrender now or die in obscurity!" line?!! It was classic! I dislike the new version, doesn't have the same ring of arrogance to it.)

My greatest complaint is the terrible load time during certain moves, which I hear was even worse in the Japanese version. I also miss the random Engrish spell and attack names, that was a charming and amusing component of the original, but I guess it would have made the lag worse. Also... Argath Thadalfas? That thounds thuper gay.

Overall, just as fun as I remembered, and the translation is much smoother and classier. Here's to further adventures!
