Playing through games that might just get stuck in your backlog.
Symphony is a title that appears to have gone under the radar for quite a long time, especially for fans of Rhythm games. As a fan of titles such as Beat Hazard and Audiosurf, when I first found out about this title I definitely wanted to play it.
When we last left off I had just received my Fire job, the Geomancer. Now, as someone who is fairly inexperienced at Final Fantasy V, I thought this was going to add another layer of challenge to the Four Job Fiesta for me.
I covered what Frog% is in a previous post, so I won’t go over it again here. Oh boy. I’ve been pretty lucky in past fiestas as I’ve gotten strong starting classes. Last year, I got Black Mage, and this year I got White Mage.
I’m not going to talk about what the fiesta is, because you can find out everything you need to know about it elsewhere, so I am going to operate under the assumption that you know everything you need to, and that you’ve played Final Fantasy V before. (There will be SPOILERS!)
It’s the time of year again! The Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta is underway, and despite telling myself several times that I wouldn’t start it til I finished another challenge… I did. Perhaps it was the hype from others on Twitter that got me to cave on it.
At first I wasn’t even going to give this game a try. I had started it up once and then lost interest and just uninstalled it. However, thanks to a good friend of mine I decided to give it another try.
Boy oh boy, this game. Boy did I ever freak out when I saw it as a new release on Steam. This game took over my childhood when I was at my grandparents – mainly because it was one of the few games they actually had, but still.
Boy oh boy did disc 3 ever take a bit. It wasn’t even due in part to hitting a roadblock – that lovely thing called real life interrupted. At points, disc 3 met my expectations of difficulty. At other points, though, it somewhat let me down.
Ah, PlayStation Plus. You are both good and evil… You let me have the opportunity to play games I would never otherwise buy… like Limbo! Well okay, so maybe I already had it through a Humble Bundle at one point, but that isn’t the point!
Samorost 2 is the sequel to a browser flash player game. The idea of the game is simple – you are this weird looking guy and your dog gets kidnapped by these other weirder looking guys, well, “aliens.” You follow them in your spaceship and click your way through puzzles to rescue your dog.
