Yeah, but at least I can watch the end of this episode and laugh at what happened. Best part is when I realized I forgot to hit the record button, and it took a few seconds to register how sucky that was.

You can check item details using the Status menu, as well as view MP costs by holding triangle I think.

Episode 8
Two quest videos in a row? That's proposterous!

Episode 9
Lots of battles in this one.

Looks like you are getting close. I just can't feel that random battle is nothing more than just an irritating chore seeing as you don't ever get any exp. Random battle are irritating enough even when you are rewarded with levels for fighting so many.

i havent seen him purchase any weapons since the beginning of the game and he has tons of cash. i guess he spends tons on healing supplies but even still it just seems like a huge waste to go through so many annoying battles with such a high miss rate only to get useless piles of cash. my commendations for sticking with the game so long.

Last I bought a weapon was during my trip to Millus before I had my revenge against those mobsters (the "revenge is at hand" episode). I assume there's one weapon left to be bought in Slobania, and supposedly the best weapon is available in the battle arena.

I think I'll give my "recommendation" verdict in the next episode.

Episode Double-Digits 10!
It's a description! Yay!

nicely done, cant wait to see how this all turns out. i bet you will get monica as a perminate member somewhere in this last few episodes.

Just when you think you are getting close. Man...

I actually don't think he'll have any party members stay for a while. And if there ARE and permanent, it wouldn't be someone as useful as a healer... just my guess.

Expect it to be a while before the next episode. I've fallen behind with Slayers' Reign, and gonna focus on it some these next couple weeks.

Hey, all. Just letting you know I may not be using Megavideo anymore. Along with that issue of having a limit to how much video time you can watch, for some reason it only allowed Episode 2 to be available publicly, which makes my exposure limited to here and the Pav.

So I was watching some Mario hack LPs at Youtube, and came across one where somebody linked to a site called Viddler, which allows videos a longer length than at Youtube, plus apparently has the option to leave comments in someone's videos directly in the video itself (see this video as an example), which is neat and rather useful. Also, even though it only gives you a percentage for uploading (no estimate time), it also gives a percentage for processing the video, so no clicking over and over wondering if it's done yet.

Video size limit is 500MB. Considerably less than Megavideo's 5GB limit and admittedly less than even Youtube's 1GB limit (as though it were possible to hit that limit in 10 minutes or less), but really, how many of us actually record videos that big? Well, it's good enough for me, anyway. Biggest LP of A Ronin Story was only 152MB.

So yeah, that's where these LPs are likely gonna be uploaded to from now on. Here's what it looks like when linked from here (tested with Ep11):



Looks like hovering over the slider and pressing the + button allows you to add a comment mid-video.

Okay, due to the move and HTML being broken, all the links to the older LPs are borked. Rather than fix them, I shall link you all to the re-uploads found at Viddler.

Now, those of you who didn't go to the Pav or the Rainy Day Forums during the downtime, you missed out on the most subtle April Fool's gag ever. So subtle, nobody seemed to get that it was an April Fool's joke, even upon mentioning what day it was. I uploaded Episode 11, but it slowly zoomed in as the video went on, eventually obscuring half the screen.

Well, here's the real Episode 11:

Episode 12.

This is the one where I beat the game.

DANG!!!

I had no drive to work on my project for RM3, but now that I see people who really appreciate and actually play these games...I finally have a reason to finish my RM story.

Oh yeah, I finally have my own computer now, so I'm sure when I get better used to it, I will contribute more to the Mag. (Sorry if this is maybe a little off topic, but I've never really been able to watch the videos you guys put up, so a lot of this is new to me.

Thanks Draygone for giving me back that creative spark!!!

Congrats on your finished LP. Now that I have a max driver (which actually isn't as much of a drive as it is a disc) I should pick up on a few.

Man, RPG Maker 2 is charming. Comedy seems to be the most popular theme in a good deal of these. But ah well... this one looks to be interesting. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, those graphics don't exaclty lend well to a more serious story. (Not that I wouldn't have tried, had it had one crucial enemy needed for my story.)

well done on finishing the ronin story LP. ill talk to ix when hes back about having it uploaded to the site as a LP review (maybe start a new type of review category?)

nice pick for your next LP. i wonder if the whole game will be filled with monty python gags?

Episode 2.
Ooh, there might be more to this game than the first quest suggested.
