I'm part 3 of my first Arx Fatalis (2002, PC) playthrough tonight over at twitch.tv/andreaen.

I believe I'm at the point where our Am Shaegar needs to find two items: Krahoz and Zohark.

I'm starting a game of Arx Fatalis (2002, PC) this morning over at twitch.tv/andreaen.

I've never played Arx Fatalis before & have been looking forward to it. I'm told it has very good goblins.

Finished Valkyrie Profile today. I had a real hard time learning the game (especially the battle system) but once I did I enjoyed it a lot.

Appreciated the unique (and very sad) story, the beautiful background art and character design and sprite animations, the great music (though some of it does wear on me after a few hours), and the rewarding battle system built on button combos (almost like a fighting game).

There were a couple things I disliked about the game. Things I wish I knew beforehand. First is that it's on a time limit. It's possible to mess up your pace by re-entering dungeons to grind XP. Second is that there are some impossibly well-hidden items in the game. Things that you'd need a hundred hours or a knowledgeable friend or a FAQ to find. I know that isn't unusual in RPGs but for some reason I wasn't expecting it this time. (I started checking a guide when stuck at around 10 hours in).

Anyway. Valkyrie Profile was fun & I'm glad I played it. I think I'd enjoy a second playthrough more and so someday I may do that.

I'm picking up Valkyrie Profile (2000, PSX) again today over at twitch.tv/andreaen.

Doing the end of chapter 7 and then chapter 8. Very near the end of the game.
