Mahou's Haven

lol, not that you could tell from my post, but I get that. Do you have a kind of music you prefer? Perhaps I can post something to help us both unwind.

hi there maho

Hi there Melly! I must say.. your ava makes me curious. I swear I've seen that character somewhere before, but for all the world, I can't remember anything about them.. maybe I should educate myself.

its Zilva from the Sartegy RPG Yggdra Union.
full set:

Oh lol. I said I wanted to unwind but here I find myself discussing the essays again. I guess I do care.

Hmm, I think I'll have to look into that some more Melly. I'm not sure why, but it interests me. Is it fun?


Mibu, of course you care! After all, a lot of time and energy goes into stuff like that. It's a good sign though, it means your trying really hard, and sucess will likely follow. But it is also important to unwind too. Here let me help! ^^



Was gonna use it for today's musical theme, but no harm in posting it while I work on that is there?

Hah, as expected of Maho. Your music never disappoints.

Its available for GBA (and emulator) and PSP.
Its fun,alas a tad complicated at the beginning.
The story itself is interesting as well.

Aw, your too kind.. your gonna make me blush. lol But thank you, glad I can help.


@Melly

ooh.. the more I hear, the more I like it. I really like RPG's because of their complexity and story telling. I always have scenes and "what ifs?" floating around in my head, so to have fun and relax, I often need a way to focus that energy.

I love being able to jump into a story and have it unfold before me.. in truth, it's prolly the root reason of why I like anime too. Many stories on TV don't talk of "limitless ability" or have really crazy plot twists. They are pretty predictable.

But anime? It's rather interactive. Sure what you see has prolly been done before, but there is usually real effort to get into your head.. craft this world around you.. and I like that alot.

Its held pretty simply, but it still looks amazing.
Its more of a strategy game, though

Hmm. So this grad stuff... gee. I really want a spot, it'd be awesome.

@Mibu

Oh I'm sure. I uh, don't want to sound like the app, but where are you applying to and why? You sound really nervous.

Physics graduate program to Berkeley, Santa Barbara and some others.

@Melly

Yep, I like what I'm seeing.. your right, it does seem simple, but it appeals to me. Assuming I did emulate it, would I need a translation patch? Sounds like the game is speaking in japanese, so my guess is the english text is not original.


@Mibu

Well keep at it and I'm sure you'll make it. You seem to me like your pretty spirited about this, so you certainly have motivation on your side.

Motivation, I do. And certainly everyone who does apply. I'm worried whether I have what it takes to get it.

thats the PSP version which supported English and japanese audio.
The game is available in english. GBA ver w/o Voice Over.
also the GBA version is a little harder then the PSP remake

@mibu

Well your better than me that's for sure. I always struggled with physics and all that math based stuff. It might as well be wizardry when I see the spreadsheets of data from many school courses. I'm happy when people like that see success, since it kinda amazes me. And though I know that's not much of a comfort, just know I'll be hoping along side you. ^^


@Melly

Well the japanese sounds nice just so long as I can understand it. lol, one of these days I'll finally learn japanese. I've always known bits and pieces, but it never sticks and I have to relearn it all over again. I suppose I don't use it enough. Not a lot of people around me speak it.

Sounds like the GBA is my best bet though, as I do not own a PSP.. what makes it harder? More levels or something?

Lets say they made the PSP version easier.
The Spell Card "Refresh" will increase moral in addition to the noral effect
2 more spell cards
There is a Scythe User possible for your Team (Scythe > all in the weapon triangle)

Though the refresh effect is the most useful

Haha thanks Maho.

Ah I see.. so basically in the PSP version there are some things that have more impact. Got it. Well, I'll no doubt be playing this game soon. I find a sad lack of anime themed games om my computer. I live in an area where interest in anime (beyond that of the occasional show) is kinda taboo.

Personally, I don't get it, but you mention your into anime around here and everyone kinda looks at you funny. I'm sure there are groups who would share in my like of it, but since it's not discussed openly, they are hard to find.. so as a side effect, it's hard to find out about some decent games that fit that gene.

It's another reason I wish I knew more japanese actually. If I did, it would seriously downsize my need. lol



@Mibu

Your welcome. ^^
