Aug. 28th, 2010 05:52 amI went and looked up the items I was missing from my gear registry. There were only, like, five of them. Just as I suspected, all of them (except the Masamune, which you get by turning in the drop from the 30F bonus boss) were extremely stupid things where I blew through an earlier floor, only turned in eight or so of whatever the enemies on that floor drop, never looked back, and thus missed a now-completely useless outdated whip because they wanted ten, or something. (8x Risky Vine for the Octal Whip, WTF. The Dragon only has four Polleners hanging around the outside of his lair and that's if you deliberately wait around in battle near their spawn locations long enough to trigger and fight them all. You have to rest long enough for all the FOEs to respawn and make several trips to the outskirts of Dragonland just to fight his stupid Pollener friends.)
( Then I beat the bonus boss. Woo! )
The reward for my efforts was... slightly underwhelming at first, but it got better once I made it back to town.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sethimothy, if you still think EO2 just gyps you with a complete non-ending and lack of fanfare and such for beating the bonus boss, try actually completing all the registries (yes, including the damned Gear one, sigh.) Then you get a Hero Mark, a speech from the minister about how awesome you are, and another staff roll with a different song and some artistically cropped portraits of various things, including ( one ravenworks might like. )
And thus, I have completely mastered Etrian Odyseey II. I've done everything. Nothing left. It's over. Like with Trauma Center before, I am free. :o I... I actually like this "work on my backlog" thing (though I'm totally going to cheat when Etrian Odyssey III comes out) but I actually don't know what game I will revisit next. It's mostly a decision between whether I want to keep working on games I'm like 99% done with just so I can beat them already and get them off my list (in which case Metroid Prime would be next) or let the whole "games I actually want to play" thing guide my decision instead (in which case Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is the current favorite, followed by Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril.)
