Aug. 10th, 2009 10:38 pmI have bested lung sharks, stomach wisps, pancreas weeds, stomach squids, lung amoebas, heart worms, and heart spiders!
In other words, I beat all the X missions, thus mastering Trauma Center. (If you define "mastering" as completing all the X missions. I'm not crazy enough to try to S-rank everything.) That game was sadistic, but it was made by Atlus, and we all know "hard Atlus game" is redundant.
Interestingly, the X missions were not scaled in difficulty equal to how much trouble I had with the various GUILT strains during the main game, and neither have any bearing on the chronological order in which you face them. From 1 to 7, 1 being the hardest and 7 being the easiest, I'd rank the strains in the main game as follows:
1) Deftera (second strain) is an evil bastard.
2) Pempti (fifth strain)
3) Savato (seventh strain)
4) Paraskevi (sixth strain)
=== Easy/hard dividing line -- anything above this I would consider hard, anything below is easy, at least by Trauma Center standards ===
5) Kyriaki (first strain)
6) Triti (third strain)
7) Tetarti (fourth strain) in very very distant last. These guys were almost insultingly easy compared to the rest of the game, though the fact that you have to beat them by correctly matching the green, yellow, and purple serums to inject into the correctly corresponding squids might be a bit of a hangup if![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davidn ever plays this game. I don't know, is this doable?
Whereas after being adjusted for X mission difficulty, the X missions are as follows:
1) X1: Kyriaki, by far. I was almost ready to say X1 is harder than all the other X missions combined, until I ran into X7. It's still easily harder than X2 through X6 combined, and easily harder than X7, but it's not harder than X2 through X7 combined.
2) X7: Savato
3) X5: Pempti is a bastard, especially after being made even harder. The only reason it's not still in the number two spot is because Savato got an even bigger boost than Pempti did.
4) X6: Paraskevi
=== Easy/hard dividing line ===
5) X3: Triti
6) X4: Tetarti, still insultingly easy, only rising above last place this time because how badly Deftera was nerfed.
7) X2: Deftera. For as much as it's still my least favorite GUILT strain overall when facing them all under equal circumstances, and even though every other X mission is improved somehow (not everything is twenty times harder like X1 is, but even Tetarti was at least a little harder,) I swear X2 was actually easier than the last time I faced Deftera in the main game.
