Wow, lots of people get inspired by my Kratos plushie. XD; *should make more*

Lol, I figured out backstepping by accident. xD; Now I think I overuse it, since I get kinda paranoid about getting hit. <_< So I always jump out of the way and keep blocking so I don't die... which makes the battles take forever since it means I'm not attacking head on. Blah.

I died against Kratos my first two playthroughs because I didn't know you *could* beat him. I thought it stopped you automatically. o_O; Beat him on my third one, though. And my fourth... if I'm even that far. *has no idea where she is right now* XD;;

Funny how they don't tell you how to backstep in the instruction manual.

Here's a basic strategy for any boss. (At least, for me XD)
1. Run up to it.
2. Guard.
3. Attack with your best combo.
4. Repeat.
And hopefully Genis and any other long-rangers will get some attacks in while you're comboing. Meh.

Erica: I like your new theme! Pwetty Banner! *huggles it*

Hee, thanks. ^^; Took me forever... and the GIF killed it somewhat, but oh well. :O I'll share the full Kratos picture... eventually. I need to think of a good background for it first. @[email protected]; Blah.

Lol, my friend has a guide for the game but he still can't play it well. xD; It's kind of sad, actually. Then again, the guide is pretty bad. XD Some of the screenshots in it are just blurs, lol.

Since Erica and Lexy want me to join this, I will. XD *joins*

Er, yeah... anyways, I've just started on my second play through yesterday, even though I've had the game for almost a year now, because I'm really, really slow when it comes to games~

w00t. xD Welcome! *adds names to list* We have 40 members now. :D

I'm normally just as bad with games as you, Ashley. (Can anyone say FFX-2? I've had it over a year, still haven't beaten it. XD) I'm... obviously quite obsessed with TOS, but after spoiling myself with the major Kratos thing... I decided not to look at anything remotely related to TOS until I'd beaten the game. So that was a major incentive to finish it. o_O;

*cough* In that case... I'm a lot worse than you when it comes to games. XD I haven't even beaten FFX yet and I bought it before I got ToS. Not to mention all my other FF games that I started last summer and never beat. ><;

I'm really bad with spoilers too... I tried my hardest not to ruin any of ToS for myself, and I don't think I actually ruined any parts of it which is really shocking. o_o; I've ruined most of the game for my sister though, she likes to watch me play the game, so she now knows almost everything about what happens. I would have hated it if she had somehow managed to get further than me and spoil it all though. x_x

Eww, my wording of that is terrible... but it is almost 3am afterall. o_o;;

Almost 3 here, too. And I have to get up at 9 tomorrow. *isn't very smart*

Anyway... my brother spoils himself that way, too. o_O He basically watched me play the entire game since he didn't feel like playing it himself (honestly, that kid is even lazier than I am... and that's saying something!). But... funny thing is... he wasn't there when I played the Remote Human Ranch (Rodyle's), and then since he didn't want to play the whole game, he just made a copy of my file and played off that. For some reason or another, he STILL hasn't seen any of that Ranch, even though he's on his second playthrough and I'm on my fourth (at least), which is just weird since he's always watching. o_O;; *shrugs*

*should go to bed but... eh.*

Don't leave Erica! ;o;

I read a GameFaqs guide (not spoiler-free. ;; ). I'm too lazy to do it on my own, and I wanted to get to the storyline. Then I decided to switch to a Spoiler-Free one about halfway...before Kratos' secret is found out.

But somehow that didn't surprise me. o_o

I need to wake up at 8 so I can babysit. x_x

My sister does it for that same reason too... but she's never asked me to copy my file over so she can play the parts she wasn't around to see. I think the only parts she missed were that Rodyle thing you mentioned and almost all of Regal's story. And most of the ending too. But besides that, she watched me play the whole game. But I guess it's alright in her case because I know she'll never finish the game on her own... she only just got to Asgard today, and she's been playing almost as long as I have. XD

Only in Asgard? Wow. XD;;

My brother watches me even though he plans to play it himself. o_O; He just... likes watching people play games. It's really annoying, though, since he pretends to know everything and yells at me if I do something wrong... even if it's right. XD

I didn't use any FAQs/walkthroughs for my first time around. That's why I missed nearly every sidequest, though. XD;; Lol, and then I ended up spoiling myself on the second playthrough for the Kratos ending. o_O; I was going through the Z-Skits on Katz Island and they were talking about Zelos after he, well, betrays them and I was so confused. XD;

Alex ~ Zelos is the one whom you look at and thing "omg he's gay!" (or "omg that person's a girl!") but then he turns out to be a total playboy. XD;

So totally posted the wrong thing. XD; *delete* Anyway.

Lol, Zelos does pwn though. :P Lots of people like him because he's just so spiffy. (Yes, spiffy. X3)

edit: Lol, sorry. XDD;; And yes, he has red hair. Looong red hair. And curly. Basically, if the person looked like a pretty girl, it was probably him. XD;

Um... this. Though I don't use it to mean that. XD; I... guess that definition could apply to Zelos, though.

I think my sister is the only person slower than me. XD I don't remember when she started playing, but it was a long time ago... she plays on and off though. My issue is when I can't seem to beat a boss I have a tendency to just stop playing altogether. Then a month later I remember that I was playing the game so I pick it up again... that's why it takes me so long, usually.

I have the guide for ToS and I kinda used it for my first playthrough. Mainly for sidequests though. I love doing sidequests... I hate the feeling knowing that I missed one. ><; I basically only used to guide to help me with things that really frustrate me... like today I kept getting lost on those warp things on my way to fight Magnius. <<;

Zelos is awesome! I never thought he was a girl though... but my cousins did. I was playing on day when they came over and I was walking around as Zelos so girls would give me stuff for hitting on them, that never ceases to amuse me XD, and they both though Zelos was a girl... one of them still doesn't believe that he's a guy. O_o;;

Ooh, his hair color is so pwettiful! <3

o_O I do the same thing! Sadly, I'm stuck in about 5 games on unbeatable bosses... so I'm kinda screwed. XD; And the only game I'm *not* stuck on isn't working... it won't load the only place I need to go to to continue. *sigh*

I would have bet anything that Zelos was female right up until I heard him speak. Then I was just kinda freaked out. o_O He looks so... feminine in the opening sequence and you don't see any of him after that so... yeah. Plus, he could go either way on the cover, too. <_< But I seriously thought he was female!

I'm stuck with unbeatable bosses in most of the games I'm playing right now too. The one that annoys me the most though is FFX only because I'm at the very, very, very end and I can't beat him. x_x Honestly, I think I've only ever beaten a few games in my life... and the only two of importance to me were KH and ToS. XD

I can definitely see why everyone thinks he's a girl... but I dunno, I just never thought that myself. O_o; But yeah, his voice definitely shows that he is a guy. XD And now that you mention it, he does look rather feminine in the opening and on the cover!

FFX... I wanted to beat that so I could play X-2, but now I'm stuck on that game. xP Heh, I'm also stuck on FFVII, right near the end; Xenosaga.... somewhere, I'm stuck but I don't even know if I'm close to finishing; and... probably a ton of other games, actually. o_O; Meh.

Lol, none of my friends ever believed Zelos was male when I was drawing him in class and such. XD; But then, at least that wasn't as bad as when I showed them the pictures of Yggdrasill from the artbook... because he definitely looks like a girl in those.

I showed my friend some of my Zelos drawings and one of the original artworks of him, and he thought Zelos was a female too... o.O;;;
Now, don't get me wrong... I love Kratos... just not as much as Zelos! :P
