#oneaday Day 709: Success!

S-Rank patrons: Don't forget to get your questions in for the November 2020 Q&A. Click here for details. You've got until November 28.

Atelier Lulua is down for the count — and I even managed to get all of the endings in a single run, too. The wonders of games without time limits. I was correct yesterday — all I needed to do was 1) make better armour and 2) make bigger bombs. Specifically, fire bombs. Last boss is weak to fire, and was actually kind of a pushover with the right party lineup and preparation. But I guess that's always what Atelier's been about, really!

Anyway, it's on to the Dusk series next. I'm not starting that tonight because it's getting a bit late already, but I'm excited to finally make it this far. I know the three Dusk games — and Escha & Logy in particular — are favourites of a lot of people, so I've been very curious to check them out for the longest time, and now I can do so with that lovely all-in-one cartridge that Play-Asia did a while back. I know nothing about the Dusk games besides some of the character designs, so I'm looking forward to exploring them.

Given that I'm a bit ahead of schedule (I've still got two Atelier Meruru articles in me), I might make some time to play through a couple of shorter things in the meantime, too. As I've noted recently, I've been playing both Dead Rising and Quantum Theory, and I think both are full of interesting things worth writing about. I'm also going to look into Capcom's Lost Planet series soonish (as soon as my 360 copy of Lost Planet Colonies arrives, specifically) as I know that's got a lot of cool things to investigate. Chris and I are also tentatively planning some sort of "seventh generation Capcom" or "Japanese shooters" episode of the podcast in the near future, too, so all of the above fit right in with all that.

Anyway. Andie and I seem to be coming down with something — not the dreaded 'rona, I don't think, but an annoying cold — so I'll leave that there for now and bid you good night. Have a pleasant evening!
