DS #4628: Sands of Destruction (USA)

[DeMoN]

I gave up on SoD

Main reason -- dialogue too slow
Secondary reason -- way too many random encounters

Maybe check out the translation hack that puts all the English text into the Japanese game. That way, the slow English VA will be removed, and the difficulty will be changed too.

I watched the anime this game was based on and it was alright, but is it possible to patch the audio so it's japanese instead of japanese english ? lol -_-

 

[DeMoN]

I assume you meant Japanese instead of English.
There is a patch for that, found in this topic: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=202610&st=90
However, there are glitches with this patch, such as the music freezing up sometimes.

 

[jodogohoo1]

thanks man >_> my bad lol, also nice finger of death icon man

 

[BoxShot]

TBH I don't get the freezing with my patch. I'm 7-9 hours into the game (after beating the snake one) and I never got the problems they have reported.

@jodogohoo1 BTW you put Japanese instead of Japanese. It should be Japanese instead of English.

 

[da_head]

hmm, might be a good reason to get that old ds out.

I'm watching it now. Just saw the first episode. Yep, it's 'alright'.



Also I am writing a review on this game, should be done sometime before Monday.

Finished the game last night, disappointing there is no New Game+

Last 2 bosses are tougher Laucertus Rex and The Creator.
I think they may mimic what you do, so if you buff DEF they do same, etc
1st time round I buffed DEF, etc ans saw they did the same, then I couldn't get any hits on them ;P
2nd time through I just kept flurry attacking and they went down quickly.

Note Laucertus Rex will use Jade Zephyr spell which can kill your party.
I equipped Platinum accessory (Debuff II), Gold acc. (Debuff I) and Craftsman acc. (increase DEF).

The Creator just kept flurrying on the base and killed it quickly.
Made me laugh when the credits scrolled up the names of the 'voice artists', like great job valium dudes

Ending is wack

Also why go with Morte ? I would send Taupy off on a long errand to the Moon and get with Kitty

The Creator as in The Creator or The Creator as in the Crimson Sun?

Spoiler

She's a woman who turns out to be Kyrie's mum {gasp!} whom Kyrie then has to patricide to save the world {yippee!}. I just kept attacking the 'base' and didn't use any buffs. Nice game but no FF4 or DQ9

*edit*
Use the spoiler tag next time:

Thanks for ruining the game for me Jabbaflap..

Thus why you don't read the thread. You pop in, say 'good game', then pop out before anyone can slap you with a wet flannel filled with spoilers.

 

[Slyakin]

I thought patricide was meant to kill one's father...


Beat the game, however, and I do recommend it for download.

I enjoyed much more Glory of Heracles which was in a word 'fun'

Auto battles are always welcome and the AI did a great job bar the awful 'desperation' skill of Mr MeatHead

Replayability though is another question.

Looking forward to DQ9 ENG release this March I believe ?
