And I mean, geared towards the REALLY young set. When I bought it, I just figured it was a standard action RPG with tank battles starring the slimes from the DQ universe. But this is definitely designed for younger players (10 and under, IMO). Five hours in and I've already rescued about 63 out of 100 slimes. If the difficulty level doesn't go up a little bit, I will probably finish this by tonight.

I turned it on literally for two minutes and I'm already up to 66 slimes. Man, disappointmenton. I'd be playing Wild Arms XF if I weren't so fucking broke right now.

It's not a bad game by any means, I'm just not the right audience for it. This game would have been rocking my socks off about 18 years ago.

if only they'd put adorable cartoon characters on the box to warn you, or released it on a children's machine or something

Yeah, man.

lol, owned

Its a good game though

Ichirou · « **Reply #5 on:** March 16, 2008, 07:57:04 AM »

Yeah, it's a good game. I should just have gotten Luminous Arc instead, but it looked way too much like generic animu style RPG.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2008, 07:58:50 AM »

Luminous Arc is pretty average overall

Its got some good moments though, I finished it so It must be OK

"If you like Witches that definitely helps" (protip: read the gfaqs boards for this game)

Ichirou · « **Reply #7 on:** March 16, 2008, 08:00:16 AM »

MAF enjoyed Luminous Arc a lot, but I wanted to play as a slime.

$15, I was satisfied.

Ichirou · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2008, 12:11:40 PM »

I played for another two hours and I'm already up to 81 slimes. I will probably finish this by tomorrow, and I only started playing it yesterday.

Same here. I got it for $20.

Ichirou · « **Reply #11 on:** March 16, 2008, 01:16:50 PM »

Up to 90 slimes. I could finish this tonight if I didn't have work tomorrow.

Easy =/= kids' game.
Easy = game for old farts.

Kids are probably better at games than us nowadays. I'm sure kids would cream me at N+.

I don't know about this.

Ichirou · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2008, 10:21:44 PM »

I played for a little bit on the train on the way to work this morning and I'm already up to 98 slimes. Only 2 left...definitely finishing this today.

So I'm going to go to Akihabara afterwards and since I am BROKE I will use my credit card - which should I get? Wild Arms XF or Luminous Arc?

Ichirou · « **Reply #14 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:17:23 AM »

I just finished it during my lunch break. Ten hours total.

Ichirou · « **Reply #15 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:46:32 AM »

But it cost me like forty bucks.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #16 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:52:25 AM »

lol why did you pay $40

Ichirou · « **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:53:53 AM »

Because it was an import game.

Rman · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:58:36 AM »

I have a copy that I gave up on. I would have gave it to you if I knew you were looking for it.

that's weird

the gaf ds crew adored this ga--

ooooooooohhhhh!

I naturally loved the game, but yeah the challenge leaves a bit to be desired. Especially once you learn a few "tricks" that could help secure you a Tank Battle victory 99% of the time. I own the original Slime Morimori for GBA but haven't played very much of it though.
