ViewtifulJoe 11/01/23 7:03:57 PM #1:	I'm not sure why. My best explanation is that it was next to KH2 on the shelf and that was more fun to revisit than I expected. I did the opening part with Reks and now I'm playing as Vaan. I played KOTOR a few years ago and this keeps reminding me of it. --- Still waiting on that third threat <cite>ViewtifulJoe posted [p:976982118] in Trying to ...

Xerun 11/02/23 1:13:17 AM #12:	ViewtifulJoe posted... So how does this Bazaar part of the shop work? I just keep selling items or I sell specific items and suddenly new things become available? theres specific recipes. The game keeps a count of what you sell and clears it when you achieve a recipe and leave the bazaar. Because of this you can game the system ie: Recipe 1: 2A + 1B Recipe 2: 1B + 2C if you sell 2A, 1B, 2C then youll achieve both recipes ViewtifulJoe posted... I've been wandering around and fighting wolves in the desert. But I only have Vaan, so anything I do is going to be slower than it'd be after I play up to the point where I get some more party members. I think I'll do that. I think if you fight the Werewolves in the west desert they drop a pretty OP sword (although you may have to steal it I dont remember) I also recommend the Zodiac Age.

ViewtifulJoe 11/03/23 7:22:44 PM #14:	Oh. I guess that's the end of that. It was a pretty old copy of the game so I can't act too surprised. We were just starting to get along too. I found out about Dustia. I hunted some marks. I found this guy Montblanc who exists solely to tell me I'm doing great. I remembered some old in-jokes. All 4 party members had at least 2 limit breaks, Basch had 3. I had fun while it lasted. --- Still waiting on that third threat <cite>ViewtifulJoe posted [p:977018573] in Trying to ...
