The Runthrough of the Abyss

Postby Celeith » Sun Dec 12, '10, 6:33 am

Ok so I've finally cracked I guess you could say. Basically I'm gonna be going through PSII for once and do a solo run, thus why I call it the runthrough of the Abyss since certain curse words cannot be said and well they explain it better but I drag on. Anyways, the run of the game will work like this. I'm tied between Anna and Shir, since they're both my favorite characters from the game.

Now if I use Anna then I may have a easier time and I get her earlier so I can grind easier with her, on the other hand I like thieves alot and Shir is just to cool to pass up. Anyways, if I use Shir I'll have to save every time I decide to go into a shop to get her gear and items. Either way its gonna be a long treck through a game that I've never gotten farther then the dams so we'll see how this goes.

I was going to say Shir, but then I realized you'll be using an emulator and can save whenever you want. So I'll say Anna. It'll be interesting to see how difficult the game is with just her. I expect you'll be grinding a lot with either, though.

I was going to say Shir as well, because it would be harder, but the whole saving before every shop I think would be irritating, go with Anna :wink:

Shir, just because of the shopping problem!

I'm actually gonna be playing on my Ultimate Collection but it still has save states, which I don't use. I plan on playing the game like it was intended to be played. I'm probably gonna go with Anna since everyone seems to think I should go with her, and I felt like doing the game with her first anyways. Looks like this is gonna be a fun runthrough.

Oh, well I guess that sort of qualifies as an emulator since it has save states. But either way, I think you'll enjoy an Anna run more.

Have you ever attempted any runs like this through the game Thoul?

Not a full run of the game, no. I just think it would be generally more enjoyable to play with only Anna as opposed to only Shir.

What might happen if Shir leaves the party when everyone else is dead? And I haven't tried removing the last alive people in the party at Rolf's house, is that possible either?

If Shir leaves and everyone is dead then I believe you can still walk around with a invisible party, but if you go into the menu then exit I believe you get a game over since it realizes everyones dead. A similar thing happens on Final Fantasy VI where if you take 1 person alone to the Arena and they die in it you can still walk around, go onto the world map (unless you get into a fight) go into the airship and ect and until you go into your menu and leave while the character is dead then you get the game over screen.
