lthough overall, Night of Farewells is the most difficult chapter in the game unless you use the mine glitch. I always used to have problems with it, & I don't think I ever beat it without using the mine glitch.

It sucks. It's doable, but it sucks. The mine glitch makes it easier but still annoying with the floor tiles moving around.

I always keep Marcus back by Merlinus to await the Pegasus reinforcements, so I usually got Priscilla with Erk, since more often than not, I wasn't planning on using Erk, so he was the designated runner.

I figured it'd be the safest thing too, I wouldn't want to go there with someone else & have to restart because I went to recruit her with someone else. That chapter is amongst my least favorite of the early game. The only chapter I hate more is Vortex of Strategy. >_> Lloyd's Four Fanged Offense was always a hassle too.

Also, is it possible to use the Warp staff in Genesis to get someone in the room to kill Kishuna? Or would he sense it & flee?

Yes. When I played through the game the first time, those two chapters probably caused me the most problems out of any. I know I restarted both at least 10 times apiece.

Even now those chapters I often have to start over. Vortex of Strategy especially, considering I'm usually just using Lyn, Florina, Serra, Nils, & Lucius - Two of whom cannot attack, which adds to the fun.

There aren't many chapters I still have problems with. Once you find the trick to it, it's not too bad.

Yeah, that was a pretty freakin hard chapter. I've never used the mine glitch, but it's very doable if you're as cautious as I am.

Night of Farewells was a frakking hard the first time I played it. Well, who am I kidding, it was hard everytime, because I was always hellbent on raising Nino to level 20 and promoting her on that level. It was perfect for that purpose, but it made the level a hundred times more difficult. Eventually I beat it, but yeah.

AP exams, huh? I'm so glad I'm in college and no longer have to worry about that stuff anymore. Instead I'm worried about huge final exams that I'm sure to fail. It's crazy to think I've been here since middle school, by the way. Crazy stuff.

Lol, I remember the first time you got there. You were so effing frustrated. I seem to also recall that being the point where soft resetting started wiping your game, lol.

Yeeeeah... Finals are not fun. Especially not Saturday morning finals.

It does seem really odd that I've been here 5 years, through part of middle school and all of high school. You look back at the things you wrote back then, and it's just so weird, like you're looking at someone totally different. Odd to see the things that change, and the things that probably never will.

Oh god... I'll never forget the scarring from that. So *bleep*ing annoying. I wanted to just snap my cartridge at some point. I had to start the entire game over numerous times because of that. Unbelievable.

Goodness. I don't even want to look at my first few posts. I seem to recall writing with a lot of ellipses (after every sentence, I mean) like a total moron for no reason. I don't want to look back any farther than I have to, let's put it that way. It's scary.

And that was your Rangeritis.

Lol, I abused ellipses to heck and back myself.

Well, yeah, it was my Rangeritis. However, I had obscene luck in other things. Like stat growths and certain glitched characters like my Dart (admittedly, that was due to my game being screwed horrendously by Gameshark and never quite recovering, but it's a lucky glitch nonetheless). Freaking weird, that was.

I think Battle Before Dawn in Hector Hard mode is a pretty tough contestant for hardest chapter in the game. Assuming you want Jaffar, which everyone does, the chapter is almost impossible. It must have taken me about 100 tries to get the guy and beat the chapter. He kept getting killed by the bleeding swordreavers, sometimes even on the 2nd turn. It was hopeless. However, I think 26x/28x (depending on the mode) takes the cake for being the hardest in all modes.

I must have been like... 14 or 15 when I seriously started here? I was still a blathering idiot, even then. Painful memories. Painful memories indeed.

I wish I had time to consume with videogames. I haven't played a proper videogame in ages. I mean ages. I miss them. I miss them so much.

Lol, nice.

Also, you've never seen Nino die on that level...? How?

Steinbeck is always good. You should check out East of Eden. It's one of his best. Since you're a fanboy, I'm sure you've already read it, but still. Sixteen and hour isn't bad at all. Especially as a high school student. Haha

On all of my AP tests, I wrote "THIS IS SPARTAAA!!!" and crossed it out so they weren't allowed to count it while grading. That's not exactly relevant, but hey. Haha. I think I would have done the same in your situation. XD

In normal mode they can't hit him, let alone kill him. In hard they just slaughter him repeatedly. Nino just never gets attacked by any powerful enemies. I think there's a bias in the AI on that stage.

Well, you must know the forum age phenomena. When new to the forums, most people act like noobs. As they stay and get used to the place, they grow more mature in the forum community. The lack of games is due to college. I'm in the Netherlands, I have no television, and though I have a Wii here and could play, no one else plays, so it gets boring fast. Now that I'm DONE, the time will soon arrive where I can play games back home.

I read Of Mice and Men and The Pearl, and it seems like Steinbeck was a pretty depressing man. :[

I second this. East of Eden is his best in my opinion.

I drew pictures on my AP Calc test. Of my teacher. At the bottom of a lake. With cement shoes.

I've had Jaffar die on normal a few times, I've had Nino die a few times. On hard it just gets sucky.

I'm in about the same boat. And there will be games.

The world is often a pretty depressing place.

All of the above mentioned pieces of literature are depressing.
