Close Encounter of the Third Kind June 21, 2010

What's the difference between a melonpan and a pineapple bun?

As I’ve said before, this guide will only highlight the more difficult parts of the game. Nevermind I guess I’ll write a complete walkthrough. Having said that, here are some general tips to follow for any RPG:

• Pick up all items on the ground (the sparkly things)
• Talk to all NPC’s you encounter
• Save often, especially right before the parts with loops (good thing they have a load option in the menu)

Just by going with these rules you can probably go through most of the game without a guide. Apparently the game is MUCH shorter if you know where to go (took me 20~ hours on the first playthrough due to hours of wandering around). On another note, the names of the items are kept in Japanese because it would take me awhile to think of a proper English translation for some of them and it’s probably easier to just recognize the moonrunes.  (more…)
