Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: Diary 3

Finally prepared to go into the 4th Stratos boss, so the article on the 3rd Stratosphere.
From Fall to Winter...

Game Sales of the Week (12/24/14)

I am/was visiting New York and tired and all of that, so not much to say about this week.
Nintendo's Store

Thankfully(?), not really an eventful week anyways.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141224109/

PS: As far as New York goes, not really used to the atmosphere there. McDonalds had a guard that stopped people who didn't have a receipt from getting a seat or go to the bathroom, too much people, too costly, all of that good stuff. Well, it doesn't hurt to visit once in a lifetime, I guess?

Game Sales of the Week (12/17/14)

Uhyo~! MH4G's Zero Suits equipment is so awesome (to look at). The male characters got the Barrier Suit, it seems. Well, not like we want to see guys wearing that suit... right?

Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: Diary 2

I'll probably save all of Ginnungagap for one post. BTW, this is probably the 2nd time I've seen Ginnungagap be used in video games. The first was Tales of Symphonia 2.

Anyways, the red Autumn 2nd Stratus, quite FOE-based stratus:

Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: Diary 1

For overall opinions...
Putting aside the similar parts, the Grimoire system is better in this game. Each Grimoire can only hold ONE skill now, but characters can attach more than one Grimoire. You can also trade and recycle Grimoires. By recycling Grimoires, you can slowly build up to a Level Star (10) Grimoire, and then by using that, can trade for any other Level Star Grimoire.
The Force skills have all been fixed and downgraded from the original 2. Each character has 2 Force skills, one which lasts 3 turns giving various effects and then 1 powerful one that, when used, "breaks" the Force gauge, preventing you from storing Force until you return to town. However, when you return to town, your Force gauge automatically fills up to Max.

So anyways, 1st Stratum:

( ´З`)=3 New Game!

Too many to play...!
Anyways, of course I would get Etrian Odyssey


But I got to say, I had a bad feeling about it when I saw the words "Loading extra content"
They announced DLC beforehand, but since I was not following it, I did not know until I actually started the game. I just hope it doesn't go as out of hand as Megami Tensei 4 did, but...

I'm not too far in to the game, but it looks like the movies this time are just slightly moving pictures? Or will there be actual movies?

Game Sales of the Week (11/19/14)

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141119095/
A surprisingly large number of new games this week. And surprising boost in the hardware sales.
Next week... Pokemon! (And Etrian Odyssey! <-- Well no, the week after next, but close enough for me)

Wednesday, November 12, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (11/12/14)

Dry, dry weeks... On the other hand, I plan to make some kind of applet for the exploration in MH4G
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141112074/

Nothing much this week either. The usual tops.
A new Lego game, with the 3DS and WiiU version on the list. It seems there was also a PS3 and PS4 version, but those versions sold very poorly and did not enter the top 20.

Thursday, November 6, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (11/5/14)

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141105083/
Another fairly mundane week. New games include a few Western games and a few anime-type games. Monster Hunter 4G still at the top of the list, passing 2 million on 4 Gamer. Followed up are the usual Youkai Watch and Smash Bros.
Hardware-wise, nothing much to say either. Pretty similar to last week.

(Goes back to playing Monster Hunter 4G)

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (10/29/14)

Too busy playing video games to go deep into this week's sales.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141029095/

Thankfully, nothing really interesting this week. While there seems to be a lot of new games this week, 4 of them are all one game, some kind of super-multi. The only non-multi new game is a Tales for the 3DS. And after all Tales (Rather, Bandai Namco) has done, I don't give a millimeter of care for the series.
Nothing that really stands out for hardware. Vita rises back to 5 digits thanks to a couple of new games?

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (10/22/14)

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141022086/
Nothing important this week. The usual tops, with MH4G 1st.
A couple of new unimportant anime games, and all of Sony's consoles are below 5 digits.
I hear there are some bundle packs coming out for the WiiU, which might be the reason it dropped a bit this week.

Friday, October 17, 2014

Ya~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~y!!!! ヽ(゚∀゚)メ(゚∀゚)メ(゚∀゚)ノ

Finally arrived! I actually thought it would take longer, but it seems that the tracking page just wasn't updating. Anyways, finally got it!



















Glad that the site I ordered from was able to ship the game immediately after the weekends without lack of stock. (I did pre-order though)
Of course, I have already finished transferring all data to the New 3DS.
Also, it is great to be able to use Up/Down moves in Super Smash Bros now. (Old system's D-Stick was a bit overused).

Wednesday, October 15, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (10/15/14)

I have recently completed the 3 Clear Getters (not sure the English name, the achievement panels) in Smash Bros 3DS, BTW. Used Zero-Suit Samus to clear 9.0 Classic mode. Her aerial abilities really help against Master Hand and co.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141015066/
Monster Hunter 4G week!
And New 3DS!

Wednesday, October 8, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (10/8/14)

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20141008080/
Despite the new games, Super Smash Bros stays in first!
While there are a lot of new games, not much to compare to.
Magna does 23,000. Rune Factory 1 was 39,973. Not that good of a result there.
Arnosurge's 9,000 against Cielnosurge's 30,000+.
Omega Quintet does less than 5 digits despite the SCE pres. advertising the game.
Poor results in a good amount of places.

3DS still remains in first, despite...
Next Week! MH4G and New 3DS! Tune in!

Sunday, September 14, 2014

ヽ(*´∀`)ノ キャッホーイ

Of course I would buy Super Smash Bros! (It has definitely been a while since I bought a new game)
...The only unfortunate thing is that thanks to Monster Hunter 4, my D-Stick doesn't function very well and I have a hard time using Up/Down smashes. Well, at least I can use the Side Smashes...

Game Sales of the Week (9/10/14)

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140910085/
A few buttons on my keyboard are not working, including a vowel, so it is a pain trying to type. So I won't really go into depth this week.
Overall, not many surprises. Youkai Watch returns to the top. The new XBOX gets released and did an expected (poor) job. 3DS drops as people start waiting for New.

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (9/3/14)

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140903088/
As far as number of new games go, it was quite an active week. Just... nothing for me, still... Next month, man, next month...

Monster Hunter 4: Self-Made Guild Quest Bragging

So I finally finished leveling up a self-made Right Rajang quest for every weapon type (not counting the difference between Heavy or Light Bowgun) to 100, so I just wanted to show them off.
These are just the best ones I have made and raised, and I actually have other Right Rajang and two-monster quests. Generally, I was just lucky in getting a good Right Rajang quest for each weapon, though I did put in the effort, of course.



Game Sales of the Week (8/27/14)

Mm... No interesting new games out, nothing really interests me to program anything either. Just playing Monster Hunter... Can't wait for October.

Kinki no Magna - More Pics (Magazine Scans)

Swimsuits and New Characters, In-Game Events:

Game Sales of the Week (8/6/14)

To be honest, not really an exciting week:
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140806071/
A few new games came out for the 3DS, but all three are minor anime-type games that sell (as expected) less than 10,000. Yes, Precure isn't "minor", but these type of 99%-kid-target series are hard to analyze...

Monster Hunter 4: Your Guide to Guild Quests (The Monsters)

Without a doubt, the Guild Quests are the end contents of Monster Hunter 4. And perhaps Ultimate/G, as well, though until it comes out, no one knows. Probably still is.
Anyways, as the release of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate/G nears, I have decided to post (boast) the Guild Quests I have succeeded in creating. Of course, only the good ones, I will talk about.
But for people to understand exactly what I am saying, I have decided to write a guild on Guild Quests. For people interested in Monster Hunter 4, if you are a heavy gamer, have a read. I'll try my best on the details.
<--- Just repeating it because I have nothing else to open the post with

Of course, the most important thing is the available monsters through the Guild Quest
Along with a description, I will also try to note differences that appear when they are affected by the virus and after the quest reaches lv.76. 
But it is a lot to cover, so I might have gotten lazy in places.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (7/30/14)

It's already August.............

Anyways, don't forget Kinki no Magna! The website already updated with the enemy(?) characters.

Monster Hunter 4: Your Guide to Guild Quests (Guild Quest Structure)

Without a doubt, the Guild Quests are the end contents of Monster Hunter 4. And perhaps Ultimate/G, as well, though until it comes out, no one knows. Probably still is.

This time, the structure of Guild Quests. If something does not follow the structure, you can be sure it is hacked.

Game Sales of the Week (7/16/14)

A surprisingly active week? Though not for me. It is a shame all of the games I want are gathered together (Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Magna)...

Anyways, here is a (very small) pic of three new characters for Kinki no Magna:
Some guy?
Sister
Enemy's little girl (spirit?)
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201407/15057049.html

Game Sales of the Week (6/25/14)

Another rather low profile week for game sales in Japan.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140625092/
Three new games on the list.
Pokemon Art Academy tops with 30,000+, but these types of games are really hard to compare. Just how much of the consumers are buying it for the Pokemon aspect? The art aspect? How much of Pokemon influenced the sales? The fact this game came out and there are already other art-teaching games? You see?
As for the other two, an otaku game and some... platformer? Hotaru's Diary. I actually like the art style for that.

Kinki no Magna - Some Pics (Magazine Scans)

First is first, the official website:
http://www.maql.co.jp/special/game/3ds/kinki/

It is pretty easy to navigate (since the English). You can also ask questions to the staff here:
http://www.maql.co.jp/special/game/3ds/kinki/special/index.html
In the characters' section, clicking the arrow on the bottom-right switches between the characters' maid outfit and normal outfit.

Pics and all below:

Game Sales of the Week (6/18/14)

Been a little busy and tired in real life, so I didn't make a post on the same day, but it wasn't really an exciting week.
Other than the expected Mario Kart, Persona, and Youkai Watch at the top, the new games are all Multis. One is a Western game (no interest), and the other is One Piece (I did like the 1vs 1 fighter games, though I'm not sure what this one is. Adventure?)

So I won't write much this week. The link as usual though:
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140618069/
I'll make a separate post on Kinki no Magna though.

La... Lady Palutena?! Yahoooo~~!

I wish Smash Bros would come with duel audio...

BTW, two new girls introduced for Kinki no Magna.

Loli and Meganekko

Game Sales of the Week (6/4/14)

Mario Kart 8 finally comes out around the world! Of the few Mario games I play, Kart is one of them and damn is it fun. And its so luck-based while also requiring skill that each race is fun, even if you get bombarded by a blue shell near the finish line. And then you immediately go on to the next game. Great stuff.

Game Sales of the Week (5/28/14)

Not an impressive week, number-wise. Though somewhat eventful?
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140528077/

More importantly, Kinki no Magna's official website finally updated. FINALLY.
http://www.maql.co.jp/special/game/3ds/kinki/
For the character section, if you press the looping arrow, you can see the heroines' maid outfits. Though it seems to take time to load, so after pressing it once, just waiting it out might work better.
Beatrice and Diana for me, right now! 

Wednesday, May 21, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (5/21/14)

 32,957Not a particularly exciting week, though there were a few new games.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140521072/

On a more exciting note, Kinki no Magna (Marvelous Soft) got a bit of new info. It seems it will be released in October! (Damn! Long wait...)

Monster Hunter 4: More Design-Focused Armor Sets

As celebration of finally completing the excavated version of the Arteia (?)-S armor set, which is unfortunately unpopular and hard to find, I wanted to post some more armor sets I have made since the last post.
As always, these are more design-focused, not skill-focused. Though a couple try to utilize some of the more useless multi-skills.


Saturday, May 10, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (5/7/14)

It is bothersome when 4Gamer and Famitsu release the info on different days. Because the info comes out first on Famitsu and then the next day, 4Gamer releases it. But by that time, the info is already known and old. Meh...

Not a specifically exciting week, so I have nothing to say. Slow on the software side, some rising on the hardware side.

Monster Hunter 4 G/Ultimate : PV2 Analysis

Of sorts, I guess. I just felt I should write an article for once.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/4G/
The actual PV
Analysis below:

Game Sales of the Week (4/30/14)

(Yeah, I know I said I would try to write an article last week...)
But it is true I have gotten a load off my shoulder now, so resting times, resting times~

Game Sales of the Week (4/23/14)

You might be wondering why I haven't made posts recently, but the reason is... (on top of being busy) There just isn't much to talk about. I might make a post on the new MH4G PV later though, but just like the weekly sales, a lot of low altitude going on. No new games for me to play, so I'm just doing MH4 as usual.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140423073/
Some main focus on Youkai Watch's sales, BTW

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (4/16/14)

I've been recently playing with a second character in MH4. It's refreshing to not have ultra strong equipment and all of that stuff.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140416067/

One comparison or so, so I'll add a "Read More" this week

Wednesday, April 9, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (4/9/14)

1. Tired for various reasons
2. Nothing really happened this week
=Won't go into detail, because there isn't much to go into
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140409052/

As one might expect, the end of Spring Break brings the systems down once again. PS4 suffered an especial drop, it feels.
Nothing too interesting on the software size, though I am surprised to see Mario Party so steady.

Wednesday, March 19, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (3/19/14)

A random story, but mechanical watches can't adapt to the fact months are not just 31 days, so I constantly have to adjust it myself. Fine with me, but sometimes forgetful.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140319059/
Anyways, not too much this week. Though I guess since I am making one comparison, I'll save room by doing a "Read More"

Monster Hunter 4: More Good Rare 7s and Armor Sets

So now that my count of killing Rajang has closed in to 1500, I thought I'd show off some more stuff.

A few new armor sets, of course, focusing on appearance (but still usable), and some usable Rare 7s I have got since the last post.

Thursday, March 13, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (3/12/14)

It is a random story, but for some reason, on Gamefaqs, there is a mod that closes the Vita Weekly Sales topic for the bad mouthing and stuff, but that same mod does not close the one on the WiiU board, which is even worse. Surely there is absolutely nothing going on in the shadows, right?

Anyways,
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140312061/
I'll update on Monster Hunter 4 in a bit. I've done some new stuff, made new equipment


Wednesday, February 26, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (2/26/14)

Did you know the PS4 was released in Japan this week? I forgot.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140226055/
Well, Sony did not immediately release the sales on the first day, so you know, you can kind of see how they feel before the results came in.

Monster Hunter 4: Reached HR999! Part 3

 Red Miraboleas is finally out! I hear it is called Crimson Fatalis or something like that. Anyways, fought him 10 times or so, collected his material, built the only useful armor (arm-warrior), built the Lance and the Charge Axe.

Continuing from last time, these are the rest of the armor sets I made that are appearance-focused:

Game Sales of the Week (2/19/14)

I thought I was going to be able to make it out of this winter without a cold, but damn it, the changing of the seasons seem to have gotten me a bit... *sneezes*

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140219080/
Anyways, a few new games this week for the Nintendo platforms. Though as you may expect, slow months are slow months.

Friday, February 14, 2014

Monster Hunter 4: Reached HR999! Part 2

So from part 2, I wanted to show off some of my weapon sets. To be honest, there aren't enough sets available, especially when you start using Light Bowguns, each taking a separate set.


Wednesday, February 12, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (2/12/14)

Phew... Big snow everywhere...
Allows me to stay inside more though.

Ah, and Nintendo Direct in a day or two, so be sure to check it out.

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140212058/
Had to check elsewhere to get some comparison data this time...

Monster Hunter 4: Reached HR999! Part 1

Yep, finally maxed out. Now my name is in blue when I go online...
Anyways, since it is a landmark of sorts, I plan to show off my collection of sorts.


First up is my Rare 7 Collection!

Wednesday, February 5, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (2/5/14)

I'm around Hunter Rank 920 right now and once I get to 999, I plan to make some articles showing off my collection and other hints, such as guild quests and charms.

As for this week's game sales...

Game Sales of the Week (1/29/14)

Snow here where I am. Been a while since I've seen snow pile up...

Anyways, the last week of Jan. I'm still busy playing Monster Hunter, but I have used PokeMover to move all of the competitive Pokemon I want into XY.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140129068/
Nothing to exciting, though plenty of new games for the Sony consoles.

Thursday, January 16, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (1/15/14)

A day late, but well, it wasn't an exciting week. So I won't go into a Read More.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20140115056/

Only new game was Kirby, with 210,000+.
Kirby Wii was 144,121 and past Kirby games did even less on the DS, so I guess you can say it was a good first week.

But of course, holiday season ends and everything starts to dive-bomb back to the ground.

Monster Hunter 4: Rajang

The Super Saiyan monkey of Monster Hunter. Recently, hunters have begun to massacre these creatures!
Why?! Because of what is called "Right Ra"
What is that?






Well, like you see in this picture above, Rajang is on the right. In this quest, you will fight two monsters. Upon completion, you will get reward equal or greater than that of Rajang's single quest.
AT THE SAME TIME, the type of weapons and armor will be of the Left monster. Normally if you do a Kukku quest, for instance, winning will only give like 4-5 things, of crappy quality. But if you defeat Kukku in a Kukku Rajang quest, you get lots of stuff at high quality OF Kukku type.

Here is what you need to know about that monkey.

Wednesday, January 8, 2014

Game Sales of the Week (1/8/14)

After a week break, 4Gamer has finally posted some sales. Yes, I know Famitsu posted early, but I don't like their site.

Yugioh ZEXAL Gekitotsu: Duel Carnival Overview

Overview? Review?
Anyways, something of the sort for the game.



Happy New Years~ (Late)

Had a big headache yesterday, so I couldn't muster the willpower to do anything. Ran out of energy trying to play games.. Didn't do well though. Got hit by Shagara Magara's explosion breath twice...
