Favorite Hero (explain why): Surely Random. His provocative, direct and ultra self confident temper is similar to mine. It's a pity that he will lose this temper in further games such as Laxuius Force. In Laxius Force he will lose all its distinctive traits. The other characters as well will lose most of their personalities.
Least Favorite Hero (explain why): Batabog. I didn't found a single use for him, in my party. He is defeated too easly by the enemies and he has not any interesting skill, even after the final confrontation I had an hard time to make him win the colyseum.
Favorite In-Game Moment (explain why): I like when, in the Secret Mansion, looking a picture Sarah says: "It seems he's looking at me!" or when the party discover that Dr Dyper is actually a hanged skeleton! I liked a lot these creepy things. I also liked passing the trial of the stairs of Nevenmore. The entire outer world was a very interesting expedient.
Your perfect party (of 4): Random, Sarah, Guanidia, Lucinana, sometimes I found useful replacing Spark for Guanidia.
What did you think about the story? The story is not that strong. Much better are single episodes.
What did you think about the secrets? Some of them can be found only by chance. Not by observation or intelligence, and this is bad.
What did you think about the monsters? They are well designed, even better than in Laxius Force.
What did you think of Random and Sarah's relationship: Nothing special. It's usual. And it's even forgotten when they leave the outer world.
Overall Comment about the game: Better designed than Laxius Force, even if Laxius Force is more imaginative in some aspects. Also, the most interesting things in this game are the characters and the original music (things that are lost in Laxius Force I and II: the music is not bad, but is the same provided by RPG maker and this makes the game much less qualitative. And the characters are definitively not as interesting as those in 3-stars). Another thing that I didn't liked at all are the final quests, quests after the main quest is ended. When I completed the game I completely lost the interest about it and about solving the remaining quests (I didn't do them). Why? Nothing to discover, nothing to gain. It's not insteresting at all to finish some quests without any main goal to achieve.
Are you looking forward Aldorlea's next game? Maybe.
Which kind of game would you like Aldorlea to make? Something that combines the quality of 3-stars and the freshness of Laxius Force. So, a new Laxius Force as qualitative than 3-stars, but better.
