I usually save the D-Counter for the Regents, cause mauling there ass in that form is too fun, and because the other bosses are frankly easier to deal with in human form. I still need to take on the optional boss of this game, it's still the only thing I've never done.
I remember the first time I played I was extremely stingy with the D-counter and ended up super frustrated, and in the end I don't think I even reached 50% before fighting Chetyre. This time I decided "smurf it" and if I ever get stuck on a boss fight or just don't feel bothered to do it, I'll just maul it to death as a dragon I plan to do several playthroughs so I wouldn't want t get burnt out. I really want to checkout what this game really has to offer, so if I ever end up having to start from sratch because my D-counter gets too high - so be it
Yeah, the beginning is kind of daunting but eventually it becomes easier to deal with everything especially if you start using your skills right. My last playthrough of the game, I actually finished the game on a first run. I do remember the last area bumping up the difficulty but that's probably because I decided to try and fight the Regents fair. I don't advise fighting the last boss this way as he's a smurfing pain in the ass on normal.
I've reached MidSector and is it just me or is Dragon Quarte one of those games that gets progressively less intimidating as you go along? Money doesn't really seem to be an issue anymore and you get more than enough solid equipment to not really worry about anything. The inventory space also has five pages now which, while still limited, gives you a lot more wiggle room. I lost once in the boss rush with Zeno, but it was probably for the better since I ended up bumping my d-counter up by around 10%, and when I refought the boss and knew what I was doing it was pretty easy (who knew tonics would come in handy!)
That is an excellent question.
There, now I had a second so I could promote them. Btw, when are the contest results coming?
Man, staff has gotten a little too lax it seems.
Oh yeah, we still do that, I think Ask Freya though since she knows more!
So do I just promote articles myself now, or do I still need an editor to to do that cause we've been getting some interesting FF/SE news lately and our front page is filled with links to threads that don't really have anything to do with either...
