Jul. 12th, 2010 01:46 pmGetting back into Etrian Odyssey 2 now that I'm finally free of Trauma Center: UTK2. I recall being very close to finishing it before it just happened to fall into the cracks of my backlog. I like the feeling of accomplishment when I can actually cross something off of my backlog, and Etrian Odyssey 3 is coming (I already preordered it to get that sweet-looking art book preorder bonus) so I thought that taking care of EO2 real quick would be a wise move.
I have three things left to do: beat the bonus boss on 28F, beat the bonus boss on 30F, and find and defeat the WarMECH-like super rare, super tough "you probably won't encounter one, but woe unto you if you do" random encounter on 30F. I need to build levels for goals one and two anyway, so I figured I'd have a go at trying for three by wandering around on 30F. (If I see it, yay, otherwise, experience is good for putting me in position for the other two, so yay.)
I forgot that the problem with hunting for an elusive yet obscenely tough random encounter is that you can have the somewhat disappointing end result where you actually find one after about forty minutes, and then lose to it. And that a game over means you don't get to keep that experience you got while looking, either.
Oops.
