EuphRO2 FINALLY works!!!
All this time I have been trying to get it on my laptop and it never seem to start up properly. It was a nightmare for 4 days. And now! Finally!
The story began like this... I was sick of having EuphRO2 in my laptop taking up gigabytes of space when it doesn't even work. But before I pressed on delete, I decided to try it on my desktop, which uses Windows XP. Laptop is Windows Vista.
And voila. It didn't even take a minute. I just copy and pasted the EuphRO2 folder into my desktop. It worked perfectly. Wonderful.
Here is the character I made. Her name is Faye:
I actually really wanted to give her a sharp cold eyed look, but RO2 didn't have those eyes, so I ended up with these baby blues manga-styled eyes.
Now, check out my HAAAIIRRR:
Aaack! I tremble at the sight of that glossy, wavy hair! I was going to pick white/silver hair at first to suit the baby blue eyes but in the end this light blonde served my character more justice. Also, I was hovering on another option which was light pink, but it would only disintegrate the cold-blooded-long-sword-weilding-swordswoman image.
... which, didn't turn out to be since there were no cold-blooded-long-sword-weilding-swordswoman-eyes. There was this pair of demonic/possessed eyes but I wouldn't go there.
Here is the screen of my desktop:
Remember in RO1? Where you could just MOB a bunch of thief bugs in the sewer? Provided RO2 is in 3d and the monsters are damn strong and our characters die ever so easily (mine, at least), oh OH and you know what, RO1 players??? THERE IS NO VIT!!! Nor Agi. OMG! How can this be. So as a swordsman, all I could increase was Str. The others somewhat corresponds to their own job. So it's like one job, one stat to increase.
And what else? Money is a pain to get. We get them from monster drops, yes, and quests. Quests can be annoying since it is still in private server and so the NPC's dialogues are not translated yet and hence we don't understand a single thing they say.
On the other hand, we cannot buy weapons. We stick to one weapon, upgrade it, change its type, etc. Oh and name it. Yes, we are obliged to name our weapons since the start of the game. What did I name mine? "Ivalice". Why so? Because... I have been playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2... that's why...
OH AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
The one thing I really dislike in this game is...
THERE IS NO FRIKIN PORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Porings! They are... the most iconic monsters in RO! I drew Porings for my art porject... I sculpted a poring for my art project... I drew several animated cartoons in my thick textbooks based on the character of Poring. PORING!!! The cute, bouncy, jellopy-spawning, adorable thing!
...
To be honest, I have not gone too far in the game. Not far at all in fact. But even though that is the case, the only familiar monster I saw... was this...
Yep, Chon Chon. Cute little Chon Chons.. They call it Fry Chon Chon in RO2, was it? Can't remember.
At novice job level 5, we can change jobs. This is the place. Check out that nice bookrack behind the Skill Master. Neat.
