I just started watching this, and I love how gushy Calli gets about Oswald, I know I was the same way back when I played the original release, and it’s all coming back to me watching this. I was super crazy about this game for the longest time, I even own some of the ridiculously expensive figurines, it’s really great to come back to this game again after so long, and you’re doing a great job showing it off so far.
One thing RadicalEddie didn’t mention, and I’m not sure if it’s come up in any videos, but in the PS2 version inventory space was an even bigger issue. You had to find or buy bags to expand your inventory space, and I think you’d only start off with something like two bags of 8 spaces each on every character. Even with the maximum amount of biggest bags, I don’t think you’d have much more space than what you started off with in the HD version. I don’t think there was an item box either, but now that I started thinking about it I’m not 100% sure, it’s been forever.
I’m really itching to play the HD release watching these videos, but I haven’t had much money to throw around on games lately, and I can never decide if I should wait until I eventually get a PS4, or just screw it and get the PS3/Vita version.
Im not really able to make the decision for you on whether you should wait for the PS4 or just get the PS3. But i will say is that the game is stunning on the PS4. Im not the best at making videos, so i dont know if it comes across, but i cant stop looking at how beautiful and smooth the game is. Any screen could be desktop wallpaper or an amazing canvas print .
And Calli has absolutely adored Oswald since we first watched Kaz’s LP years ago. I love how much she gushes over him and Gwendolyn. It made our playthrough an amazing experience.
Oh, I had a feeling I was forgetting something, thanks for catching that!
Not only did you have to buy bags, but they were also technically items that you had to use from your inventory to equip them. After a little digging, I think you can only have four extra bags of any size, so your highest capacity was 48 items. On top of that, I’m pretty sure mandragora and seed stacks counted against the item limit, too. And if you wanted to replace a bag, you’d have to empty it out completely–plus another space in another bag–to convert it back into an item. Oh, and no, there was no item box.
I’m afraid I don’t know the differences between the PS3 and PS4 versions, though. I guess it comes down to how long you think it’ll take to get yourself a PS4.
Of course, it has cross-platform saving, so you could always just buy the PS3 version now and the PS4 version later! :V
I really can’t imagine having so little item space. It feels like we’re always at max even though we’re constantly using our potions and eating our food.
Oh! Oh! In my playthrough, I fused same type potions with the same type of potions so I get a higher strength potion. If that helps in keeping clutter down.
Aww thank you. I actually adore a lot of characters in this game. All of them are adorable in their own right. The pairing of Oswald and Gwendolyn though is something special to me and we will see why later on in this series. It also doesn’t help that I consider myself to be the harbor of ships. I ship a lot.
Also. I downloaded a trial fro Vegas Pro Edit. If you could tell me how the video and audio quality of this episode is in comparison to previous ones that’d really help me make a decision on what to upgrade my editing software to.
Alright. Time to get down to business. We gotta fight a dragon who might be a little blind when it comes to psyphers. One things is for sure, Mercedes is nothing if not determined.
Maybe the problem just was that no one thought to try. And Odin said how impossible it was or something. Anyway.
Welcome to another episode of, "it’s been three months since we recorded and I already completely forgot what we had done last time and make a total fool of myself in the video."
Honestly though, after you stop Melvin’s take over, Mercedes story starts becoming rather forgettable. It may have been better to make the coup arc of it last one chapter longer.
And now, our time with Mercedes comes to a close. She was actually pretty fun aside from a level or two. And now we’re starting to move into the latter half of the game.
So now we move onto the next book, and the next character. In a similar way to Mercedes, our new ‘hero’ is letting us take a look at a different side to part of the story we’ve already seen. But don’t think this means we won’t be seeing new things. A lot happened that you didn’t know about.
I have to say. The amount of power Oswald makes you feel like you have is pretty amazing. Also, it’s nice to know a bunch of the Valkyrie were slaughtered for reasons other than Odin sending them to their death. It’s really just a bad time for all of them.
Let’s be honest, who else is getting tired of the airship mini boss? It’d be nice if there was some personality put behind it. Like you see all the dwarves scrambling to get to it or something. But it’s just there and is kind of annoying.
Oswald was the part in vanilla Odin Sphere (vanillaware pun semi-intended) where a lot of the dealing with some of the…not great combos of the other characters paid off in spades. Oswald ruled in the original release. His speed and combos made you actually feel like the potential for the combat system was unleashed, and you could just see the matrix and go ham. I’m really interested in seeing how he plays in Leifthrasir by comparison!
