Played a bunch of EO3 last night. Finished mapping out every last corner of B14F, and stopped just before going down to B15F. I gained a level, which is easily my favorite part of this game. I added another point to Monarch March, Antifire, Cloudbuster, Party Heal, and one of those goofy useless prerequisites just so I can eventually unlock Kubikiri, respectively.

Then I put down the DS and picked up the PSP and did the first fight of chapter two of TO. That put pretty much everyone's class level (that I was actually using) up to 9, so I went to the nearest town and raided the shop along with playing everyone's skills and such. I'm working on getting everyone except the Cleric either Truestrike I or Trueflight I (depending on whether they're a melee or ranged attacker) since accuracy has been a bit of a problem for me lately. Ardei needs it most of all, since his pre-Truestrike deal was that apparently being a Berserker with Hammerkind abstratus allocation Hammer-type equipment means he hits hardest of anyone on the team by far, but he was only getting something like a 67% calculated chance to hit when attacking people directly from behind with a height advantage. (Unless it's the somewhat underwhemling Dexterity of lizardmen that causes that? Well, either way.) So yeah, that should help, hopefully. I also had the Wizard completely abandon Fire Magic in favor of Water Magic. Just about every field (for the first eight levels, anyway) has an equivalent and near-identical missile-type damage spell and indirect-type damage spell of their particular element, plus one or two status effects, but Water gets something for Wizards at level 9 that not even an equivalent level 9 Cleric can do: an effect 2 (that is, plus-shaped area of effect instead of one single target) heal.

It has come to my attention that I like games about distributing skill points amongst generic units.
