Dancing with the Blade
What is stylemo? Stylemo is supposed to be my portfolio and blog site. I also have a plan to make this one a development site for templates. But I guess I don’t have enough time right now.
I was supposed to have this redesigned a month ago but due to a lot of projects coming in, I guess it does have to wait. So what other things aside from Web development and design projects makes me busy? Well, from my previous post, I’ve told the whole blogosphere about the new PSP that I bought. So what am i using it for?
Everyday I bring it with me while I’m on my way to work so I could listen to my MP3s. I’ve got a whole bunch of them. I’ve currently got System of A Down, My Chemical Romance, Tenacious D, Fingur and Dicta License on my PSP right now. When I get tired of listening to music, I switch to the photo viewer and read PSP formatted comics and magazines which I downloaded from PSPmagazines.com. I’ve got NYC2123 - Dayender issues 1 to 6 and Super Spy. I’ve got a few FHM copies too.
Well anyway, what I’m really doing right now with my PSP is that I’m playing this really good RPG that my girlfriend just gave me. It’s called Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light. It’s about a young warrior named Lance who has travelled seeking for martial training and discovers an awakened evil from the depths of history. When I first loaded the game, I was stunned at the amazing anime introduction movie. Well, I’m a fan of anime but I’m really not obsessed with it. I just happen to like anime.
What can I say about Blade Dancer? Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light is an RPG developed by Hitmaker. The overall graphics of the game is actually amazing. For me, it has better graphics than that of Final Fantasy VIII on the PSOne. The controls is a little bit not too easy. What I mean is when you go into battle, after your first party member has made his move you still have to direct the cursor to the next character. I just think that the control cursor should automatically move to the other party member. What I like about the game is the Luna Abilities which is a very Vital part of the game. It’s a special attack which you can only use when you have enough Lunar Points. You can check out the Lunar Points through the Lunar Guage which only increases when you make or receive a normal attack. The battle system is a little bit complicated at the start but once you get the hand of it, it’s easy as eating a pie. When you are exploring in a field, you can see the enemies roaming unlike in Final Fantasy VIII which you don’t see the monsters but you always get into random battles. In Blade Dancer, you can run away from enemies. It’s a good thing especially if you don’t wanna attack those monsters. What I really don’t like about the game is that you have to have many weapons because each time you use a weapon, it degrades. When you’ve used it excessively and breaks up. The weapons actually has a life meter too. You also get limited slots for the weapons and items. One more cool thing that adds to the challenge here is the side missions. There are actually a lot of missions you could do. When you get in towns, talk to all the people and they will give you good and challenging missions. The best part of it are the rewards you get from these completed missions.
What are the levels of my characters in Blade Dancer right now? My characters level averages from level 24 to level28. So where am I in the game right now? I’ve currently surpassed the scene where Goran releases the Dark Lord. I have all the characters in my party right now. The game is kinda frustrating sometimes because my weapons break fast. Well, that’s because I use them a lot. Good thing I have them appraised so that I can rebuild them again.
Well, I’m off to bed now or maybe not. Just typing these words make me grab my PSP and get into the game again. Well, when I get into the middle of the game I will blog about it again and tell you how I got there. Or maybe I should try writing a walkthrough? Nah. i don’t have time. I’m too busy. Maybe when I beat the game. If anybody out there has already beat the game, please give me some tips.
