Precious Time

Oh, sweet december, almost Christmas already. I'm officially playing Megaten for 1 year, and now looking back at everything, it's just...wow. No, really. God, I've felt really pro using Cu Chulainn, grinded for hours at Zhens on Shinagawa (and got a few surprise rapes on new moon <_<), wasted weekends on noob Sugi Golds... Yeah, that's really weird today with all that sponsor thing, countless exp incenses and such, but it was really fun. Exploring, trying new stuff... I loved that, and I could feel that again 2 days ago with the Lord of the Flies patch. Ok, it wasn't hard, but c'mon, we're level 90+ with complete builds and gameplay experience, it's not meant to be hard.

But anyway, I just wanna thank you all who played Megaten with me this year, I had a really good time, and some LOLmoments that I'll NEVER forget, because if we don't laugh on our 10+ hours Ichi marathons we'll just go insane, right?
And if you didn't saw me these days it's because (not that you should care :x):

1) Fail internet connection is fail. I've DC'd so much that I didn't even bothered to turn on my comp some days.

2) IRL stuff. Relationship + friends + work = loss of weight, so everyone should do that. D:<

3) Grand Fantasia. Yeah, I've been playing it and it's not perfect, but it's what I need. I can play different stuff without making new friends since I'm happy with the ones that I have on Megaten/Aeria. And even failing on any kind of PvP (3k hp don't help, working on semi-vit build <_<), at least I'm cute ._.

4) PSP. Finally got mine, and so much stuff that I wanna play lol. Just finished Persona, and I have to say, Atlus did a damn great job. Perfect remake, decent translation, complex Persona creation system, new cutscenes, awesome new soundtrack, AND after all still feels like the old game.

(Pro Jinn sprites)

Btw, I've uploaded the OST here, so have fun with Shoji Meguro.

Epic Note - This is how pro my Ichi runs are:Nuff said.

Enter Rhuki

So for all intents and purposes... Royce is now my semi-retired main. I still plan to PvP with her regularly, but as opposed to sitting around in Babel complaining how there's nothing to do in Megaten (and rather than doing the sane thing and play some other game that gets updated more often/isn't a money pit), I decided to pick up one of my alts. For those who remember Rhuki from a previous post, she was a hybrid melee/enhancer.

...everyone in this damn game wants to be a melee/enhancer. So after debating for some time on what direction to head in, and with the arrival of the new imbalanced crystals, I've decided to make Rhuki into a Regal DD. Melee is overall just a boring class to me, and the build I'm doing now is the original build I'd planned for Royce with a couple modifications. I had Class 3 Regal on Royce the day the PvP patch hit back in June (as I'd even pre-statted the character just for this), but it required me to lethe Enhancement. However I found out quickly that I lost my solo-ability in this form, which was my main goal from the beginning. After having a moral dilemna of either starting all over again or lething Regal and going back to my old build, 2 hours later that day I had Enhancement again... and even then I didn't have the necessary amount of Int to solo anymore. Eventually I hourglassed (again) and found my sweet spot again. Overall I don't regret any of the events that took place, as this all paved the way for my final build that got me all the way to 93.

Anyway, I just finished up all my expertise for this build today. I hope to be near-fully soul-stoned and taroted by Friday, and somewhere around level 80ish (I'm level 74 already, so that's no huge task). I'll have to adjust to being reliant on an Enhancer, but I have a feeling this build will be a lot of fun. Wish me luck!

Also, Grand Fantasia Closed Beta starts this evening. A handful of us from Destiny will be giving this game a test run. If it proves to be enjoyable then we'll expand Destiny's horizons into this game as well. I'm somewhat torn between what class I'd like to play at the moment; either Paladin, Necromancer or Wizard. I'm 90% sure I'll end up being a Wizard or Necromancer (because let's face it, being a mage is fun D:), but I wanna try out all the classes I'm interested in before the Open Beta begins. Hope to see some of you all in the world of Saphael!
