They Slice and Dice and make Julienne Fries!

So I started playing Chaos Legion again. After how many years? It's only because I can't seem to find my PS2 copy. I know that I didn't sell it because I liked the music in the game (OST in a shopping basket, added Sengoku Basara 3 UTAGE as a pre-order). So... went with the PC version. Slightly surprised that I managed to find a working download of the game, and it works quite nicely. The only problem is that the computer isn't picking up the fact that it's running in a window because the monitor turns itself off after about 30 minutes of "inactivity". Annoying. Oh well. Time to change the power settings for now since I'm not processing anything, and if I were, I would have turned off the monitor anyways.


As for the game itself... I don't really remember it being this tedious. Maybe it's because I'm playing on Normal, not on Easy? My pride wouldn't let me choose Easy after the prologue. The music is as awesome as I remember it about 8 years ago. Anyways, slowly making my way through the game. Didn't think that I'd be using the Blasphemy Legion that much during Stage 8, but here I was, kicking those little bombs like no tomorrow. I do have to admit that I think I may have put myself in a slightly tough position as I'm seriously lacking in healing items. Shouldn't be a problem after finishing Stage 9 though as the Stage Selector should be unlocked right after. Can't wait to go back to farm some items and to level up the Legions a little more, especially Flawed. Want to use Double Raid and Despise without having to equip it. They're not exactly the sturdiest things, but the abilities are great.


On the LasRem front, most of the Ranks have been filled out. Only Rank 4 remains, but I don't have a clue what the trigger could be. If it's the obscene number of battles, I'm going to have to kill someone. Still working through my guide little by little. I want to make an equipment chart at some point as a quick overview type of thing. A few pieces had their art modifiers changed during the porting process, most notably the Longsword line. Went from Power to Speed, likely to help Emmy/Emma advance their arts. Will be going through the guide(s) to keep checking up on them, but it will take a while because the JP guides separate things based on the 50 sounds, something that I'm not too familiar with yet. Oh well. Whatever it takes to continue updating the wiki. Still... because all the info was extracted from the PC version, any X360 version data likely isn't even on the wiki.
