So of course, when there's a new PSP game lurking, I just have to get sucked back into an older one. Mum was on the computer all day today, so I spent the day playing Star Ocean: First Departure instead of... internetting. /: Nearly ten hours, and I'm not any farther in the plot than I was before, but I did pick up my eighth party member, figure out what team I wanted to use, and then proceed to use them to break the game.
...well, I didn't really break the game. I'm too far in the plot for it to count as that. But my main team is now ~20 levels above the other four characters (though I'm waffling between Ioshua and Erys; they're both healers and I was using Ioshua more, so his level is higher, but Erys has more attack spells. But then I really don't need three girls in a four-person party, and Erys's voice sounds almost exactly like Welch's... so maybe I should switch back to Ioshua) and has way better equipment. Well... Welch and Ioshua have way better equipment; Ilia needs better armour and could have a better weapon, and I've been ignoring Ronyx's equipment because I was too busy maxing out his Alchemy skill to teach him Customisation. (Well, someone's got to make all those Moonrocks and Mithrils and Philosopher's Stones I was using.)
So basically I spent all day grinding. And I actually had fun.
As an aside, my guide keeps suggesting, for all bosses, that the player's party consists of Roddick, Ronyx, Millie, and Cyuss/Ashlay. I fought exactly one boss in those ten hours (optional, though according to the guide it was mandatory) with Welch, Ilia, Ronyx, and Erys, and it was a total cakewalk. For the rest of the game, I'm going to swap Ioshua for Erys and then I'm never going to change my party again.
