What was the most frustrating part of the game for you? (I need someone to relate to about these freaking button-pressing events asdkfja)

I just started the PSP version (after playing the GBA game through twice) and I'm up to halfway through Lacrima Castle.

It's always Lina wants this! Excel, go get that!

Do you know how many times I attempted to catch this stupid bat? >:|

1. Anything that had to do with writing hints down on paper (the Four Seasons Forest and the Ankh puzzle). Yes, I'm that horrible when it comes to puzzles.

Isher is a royal freaking pain in the arse.


2. For some bosses (particularly the Fool [that I pity], Ledah, and Isher): Trying to score that Lv3 Final Blow, only to see that I get the wrong character's turn, ends up effed up (because of guard/miss), or fall short of what I hoped. Heck, even with relatively high stats. That's pretty much what would have made all the difference in the fight.

I agree! Plus, Ecthel sounds silly and Excel fits with Excellion.

rofl "Einherjar" is about the silliest name for a sword ever.
I know a lot of this is probably based on Norse mythology (or so my friend claims-- Norse mythos does tend to get a lot of attention in games these days, though thankfully some like Riviera are MUCH better than Norse games like Too Human.)


I see what you mean. Ever read/watched The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? Kinda of a name-related coincidence/typo that I noticed. "Denethor, son of Ecthelion", yes, sounds awfully familiar...

It is. As far as i know, Ecthellion is japanese name of Einherjar.
But is it "Ecthellion" or "Excellion?" Because the walktrough on GameFAQS said "Ecthellion" while everybody here says "Excellion".

"At least i know that i don't know anything. And i know that you know that i don't know anything. And i know that you know that i know that..."
"Oh man, shut the heck up!"
