I don't care, I'm double posting since its just Gray and I playing.

These are the big tactical battles. I mentioned them briefly in the podcast for the first game, but here is their full glory. In this particular battle that little unit in the middle is Gilbert, and you have to keep him alive since he's a Star of Destiny.



When you or the enemy attack a specific unit you get this sweet animation of individual soldiers charging at each other. This is Miklotov, he's a Star himself but at this point he's controlled by the AI and it will be a long time before he's recruited. You can actually visit the town he hails from, Matilda, by using the infamous gate glitch. You can really line your pockets and level up like mad while running around. Assuming you can survive even one battle of course.



Now, for some plot updates...

Gray mentioned he wasn't going to do checkpoints for this game since its long and the transitions are less defined. Getting HQ in week one would have been a daunting task for those with limited play time. Next play session I have I am going to rush to HQ myself though.

On another note, Two River is one of my favorite cities in the entire series.

I finally popped this in yesterday.  This game's story really grips you right from the beginning.  It was nice to see a couple of familiar faces early on.  Also, what I've heard of the soundtrack so far is already better than the entirety of the first game's soundtrack.

Anyway, I made it to the first town and went to the inn to save, and I was told that there wasn't enough free space on my memory card....  grrr

If you're playing on PS3 you can make virtual memory cards and switch them on the fly.

I'm playing on a PS2 with an original PS1 memory card, so I was SOL at that moment.  I've since cleared some space on my card, so I'm good to go for next time.

Good to see people coming out the woodwork. To be clear, no there are no checkpoints this month. This is quite a long game so make your own pace and let the conversation here guide you.

checkpoints are always difficult in non-linear games, what's half-way for you could be near the end for someone else. good call on the no checkpoints this time imo
