... but then they get absolutely pwnz0wned by the side-quest bosses.

Man, I only just fought one, and it was tougher than anything I've done in the game so far.

I'm near the end of the game. Amazing game. Easily better than Persona 3.

Yeah Drinky says the same thing time and time again.

"People keep saying Blue Dragon is easy but it really isn't"

Im looking forward to playing it the next time im in the mood for an RPG. Im only a few hours in and got side tracked by gundam musou

The main quest is pretty easy, I havent died once. Wander off to do side quests in Disc 3, and suddenly the game gets ramped up.

Sounds better than Persona 3

Amazing.

After you beat the tough sidequest bosses, do you get rewarded with a ridiculously powerful wepon that can finish the final boss in one hit, like in Final Fantasy?

demi · « **Reply #7 on:** September 16, 2007, 07:48:33 PM »

Probably. It's only fair.

Real talk, are side bosses a requirement for achievements?

Don't see how that's funny, it defines what an achievement is.

I guess it's understandable if you're a noob who plays DMC3 on Easy, though.

No, would you be playing the side bosses if it didn't have an achievement?

easy in SE is the hardest available option from the start!

Not really, because it's useless.

I played Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 to completion, so your argument is pretty flat. You just can't win, Arvie.

At what point does BD get hard? I just got Marumaro and haven't felt challenged in combat at all. I fight every monster I encounter and I'm at level 12 or so. I checked a FAQ and it was recommending level 10 for where I'm at so I'm guessing I'm a bit overpowered.

Questions for you Demi:

-How many classes (or jobs) does this game have?

-How are the sidequests? Are they the tipical collect-a-ton or the kill-the-bosses type? Or are they more open ended?

Arvie, Heavenly Sword is made for weaksauce gamers like you. I didn't die once until the final boss fight.

I'll answer the first:

Sword Master (Mage Knight), Assassin (Thief/Ninja), Monk, Guardian (Knight), Black Mage, White Mage, Barrier Mage, Support Mage and Generalist.

It seems like you unlock a new class of your choice once every 5 levels. They abilities aren't as in depth or varied as FF5 and I find myself leveling everyone up relatively equally in them so far.

I'm coming up on that part so I guess I'll let you know how it goes for me.
