Sunday went went, what with having people over to play Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles. ... Except that one of my friends forgot his memory card, so he wasn't able to play on his own character. Instead, he had to play on one of the crappy extras we have on mine and Samgee's file, and was pretty much stuck with the "sit back and heal" roll the whole time. Makes me feel kinda bad, both because I'm usually the main healer, and because he really didn't get to do much else. Much casting of Life happened during boss fights, and he actually got zero bonus points after one dungeon.
I'm thinking I'm going to try and get people together again this Sunday, though. It would be really cool if this could become a semi-regular sort of thing, to get together and play games after church on most Sundays. I'd love to start another Zelda: Four Swords Adventures "campaign" and go through the whole game in 3P/4P mode, and we've still yet to actually beat FFCC -- the last level is downright vicious.
In return for lending him Skies of Arcadia Legends, my friend lent me his copy of FFCC and Samgee copied over our save file to one of my memory cards, so I can play my character (Drake, a male Selkie) in single player mode. So far I've only played once, but I ended up doing two years worth (i.e. six dungeons), though the first three were early levels to get myself acquainted with single player mode. I'd never actually played FFCC outside of multiplayer before.
During those two years, though, I managed to get the final item I needed to use the Legendary Weapon plan I had gotten earlier. And what weapon does it forge? ... A cudgel called the Queen's Heel. (WTF, mates? ^^) What really annoys me, though, is its focus attack. For a good while before this I had been using the Butterfly Head, and the focus attack on that was a two hit combo, but it wasn't a projectile like most Selkie weapons have. So then I'm finally able to forge an Elemental Cudgel, which has a projectile for its attack -- much rejoicing from me, since that's one of the big reasons I chose a Selkie character. But then shortly after, I'm able to forge the Queen's Heel ... and I'm right back to a melee focus attack. Sure, it's stronger than any other weapon I have, but eesh. I'm actually thinking of going back to using the Elemental Cudgel, just for the projectile attack, depending on just how much stronger the Queen's Heel is. I'm planning on doing some tests with both of them, to see if the Queen's Heel is worth it.
