You know, having three stars on your profile is prettier than just having the one, I think.
What's that, you say? How do you get three stars?
It's easy, you just have to XS every single operation in the game.
WHICH I DID.
Let me put that another way: on top of the non-trivial difficulty of the main story, the X operations really aren't even meant to be done by humans, I don't think. Two of them (Tetarti and Nous) are okay, if not actually somewhat easy to pass if all you want to do is pass, but the jump in difficulty in terms of increased "whoops, damn it, restart" moments if you want to do it perfectly for the XS might be enough to violate the Geneva conventions. Two of them (Pempti and Aletheia) have a comparatively small jump between surviving and mastering, but that's only because even surviving is impossible--in other words, if you can beat them, you can XS them, but that's okay because you can't beat them. Three of them (Kyriaki, Bythos, Sige) are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. I XSed all seven of them. And everything else in the game.
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I realize I've been making an incessant string of UTK2 entries lately, but that's because I had to devote myself to that game to the exclusion of all others because of the inhuman skill jumps required. I still remember when chapter 1 was hard. By the time you're done with the X operations, you suddenly find yourself having skills that mere mortals do not have. I knew that wouldn't last, though. This really isn't the kind of game you can shelf for a while and then pick up later when you're rusty and expect to still have a chance against X-Aletheia. Basically, I had to master this game while I still could.
But now, it's over. Oh my God, I'm... I'm free. ;o;

Oh, that reminds me, I was going to do that walkthrough on XSing Mother of Sins, wasn't I?
( Doooooom )
And, with that, I guess I'm done covering Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2. That certainly was... something. :o Maybe I'll go back and finish up Etrian Odyssey 2 next....
