Quest For Glory III: Wages of War | Part 6

The Adventurer's Log

I needed to find a way into the Lost City. While Manu has been very hesitant about this whole thing he still let things out. There was a secret door.

By 'eye' I assumed some kind of gem. Monkeys would get into the city all the time with the eye that glows.

It was time for some searching. And a lot of fumbling to figure out how to get down there.

Once I bumbled my way down, after accidentally trying to leave and getting attacked by one of the 'long armed men'--neanderthal looking guys--there was a statue of Anubis with a glowing eye.

As usual Fetch to the rescue and I got a fire opal. I used that on the door, opening a way inside.

To find a couple of big scary, very bored guards--Fric and Frak.

Nothing to fight. They couldn't keep beating up their prisoner--uh oh. Bored bored bored. His buddy was only silently nodding.

Not something I wanted to fight... I accidentally ended up fighting the chatty one but I lost, though it seemed doable if I'd had more MP--it was lower than I realized. Still not something I wanted to do.

Now was the time for magic. I cast Calm which made them sleepy (and even stupider) and Open on the door and was able to walk right on through.

Where I found Reeshaka! She did live.

The Demons were entering the world through a gate at the top of the tower, as Kreesha suspected. Destroying it would let them defeat the demons.

But then she got taken over by Fric (or same model?). All harm done to him would harm her and she was the daughter of his master's enemy, Rakeesh.

All bluster. I still had two dispel potions and threw one at her, causing him to disappear.

Then Kreesha's portal opened bringing allies! Uhura, Harami the thief, Yusufu, Johari and Rakeesh.

Rakeesh was able to heal Reeshaka. They came as soon as they could and as prophesied.

But Harami refused to fight and only came along to get away from Tarna so it wasn't looking good for the prophecy... until my dear Manu friend showed up. He is a courageous monkey in the end.

The door we needed was blocked off but Rakeesh cleared it. He and Uhura stayed behind to hold off the demons and we went through to find a room of mirrors.

Our mirror images for demonified and we had to fight.

Face-offs across the board. Kinda cool.

It turned into an actual fight I had to do, but attacking it was causing its health to seem to go up, so it wasn't looking good for our hero. After a short bit, Harami appeared and stabbed it. He decided to help after all.

He gave me some pills--I guess I could have been more free about using them, but I still didn't hoard as much as I tend to hoard items in games in my defence--and sent me on my way.

Where I was brought to the final showdown.

The Demon Wizard's army of Demons and Apemen were standing by ready to attack the warring Liontaurs, Simbani and Leopardmen. The deaths of so many would release enough magic to open the gate and allow his Lord to re-enter.

The orb was still weak though from the energy needed to posses the Leopardman chief before. In other words I had some time to act.

This wizard was the Demon Wizard Rakeesh fought before.

Well, time to avenge Rakeesh too.

That dual in the leopardmen village was basically training for this. Same deal.

When starting out I didn't know what to expect but threw up a reversal just because that seemed like a good immediate thing to do in a magic fight. I certainly needed it against Ad Avis and here too. He threw flame at me after.

I Calmed it.

He tried a gargoyle and I Triggered it to stop it. That Ad Avis fight was good practice too.

He stole my staff with Fetch!

But at last Kreesha's warning about Trigger with the magic staff bore fruit. I couldn't wreck things then but I sure could now.

Boom! His head launched... and landed at my feet. Ew.

Cinder kicked it into the pit.

That just left the orb. I tried fetching it. That failed. It came down to my good old trusty Flame Dart, though I wonder if Lightning Ball or Force Bolt would have worked too. I'm happy with Flame Dart though. It certainly got me through the rest of the game.

The gate closed and I rejoined my friends.

Everyone had congratulatory messages for me.

Johari and Yesufu are getting married... He said he wanted to. She accepted. Why not I guess! Gotta pair up someone! Bleh.

Everything was well.

Nothing more

Nothing bad happened.

Or not. Cinder started writhing in magic. Dark magic...

And that was it.

It's a cliffhanger. Is that Ad Advis?

It was nice and gave me final character sheet so I didn't have to do it myself before finishing the game. Here are my final stats.

The spells have to be looked at individually to see their skill level so I don't have those. Just Flame Dart maxed at 300 and I don't know if anything else is even over 100. I don't think so.

462/500 points.

And that's... it. I feel like I'm ending this as abruptly as the game but well, even knowing this was coming I'm still at a bit of a loss. So, I'm going to carry right onto my final thoughts and talk about that ending and everything else.

--

Final Thoughts

I want to preface this by saying I did enjoy myself overall. I want to make that clear because I'm going to be sounding more negative for a big chunk of this.

First, let's get that ending out of the way and really the whole final chunk of game. I'm no stranger to cliffhangers and I've certainly suffered more painful ones...by far. I have the fourth game waiting, so no big deal. However, that managed to feel anticlimactic at the same time. An anti-climactic cliffhanger is kind of a feat, I'll give it that. I'm not sure what would have improved it. Maybe more reactions from the others beyond Rakeesh's one liner there. Maybe if something was more off-kilter with the final fight to show some sign of wrongness, though I could understand wanting a more abrupt surprise. But it didn't really land for me. Heck, maybe if there'd been more from the villain? Like actually seeing him earlier? We knew there was demon activity and Rakeesh had spoken of his past with the demon wizard, but there was no interaction or sight of our villain until the very end. I've said I'd watched the game first, so I knew this was coming, but it didn't land when watching either.

Relatedly, the whole final stretch from the leopardmen village on felt hurried. You constantly get funneled along. Sure, you have some freedom after Tarna closes off, but short of grinding there's not really anything to do before finding Manu, and then it's right back to railroading you again.

Yeah, QFG II starts funneling you along too; I mean you literally get hypnotized, but there's more to do. You know, there are multiple bits to go through and solve in the cave. Then the rush in Raseir after is the tension of the spell being completed and you're coming off of having gotten to do stuff!

Here there's not much you do in the Lost City and a lot of it is basically cut-scene. Then end dual. Then done. Coming off QFG II in particular which I think I had a cool final stretch, this feels rushed. I do wonder if they had to cut some stuff due to time and budget. It feels like the Lost City should have had more to it because there's really not a lot and it feels like a wasted or lost opportunity. Such is the way of game dev if so, but always a shame.

As for the rest of the game: do you know how sometimes the middle entry in a trilogy can feel awkward? That's kinda how this felt. Apparently, this game wasn't part of the original plan either but in the change to VGA and point and click they weren't feeling ready yet for Shadows of Darkness. In fact the end of QFG II advertises III as Shadows of Darkness. Knowing that, this feeling makes sense. I wouldn't have necessarily guessed that was the case, but in knowing there's an "ahh" moment.

A few other points I was less than happy with:

Random encounters. I don't know what the alternative is or how to improve it, but they were driving me crazy off and on, especially in the last trip. At least make running away take less time.

Magic Users and Thieves feel shortchanged in this game. Though, for all my complaints about that final stretch at least I got to do more magic-y things finally. There just wasn't much at all before that. Even when I was doing the magic user quest--getting my magic staff--use one Fetch spell and that's it. Also some clarity on what the magic staff does would have been nice. I ended up looking it up: spells don't cost MP while it's summoned but they won't level up.

I don't expect deep characters in this series, but there were some I could still build some attachment or fondness for in the past games. There were fewer in this one. I like Rakeesh and Kreesha... Manu was cute enough. Johari might have worked out with more time, but her whole situation and marrying Yesufu after all in the end just gives me the ick. I just wasn't feeling much with anyone.

NO GNOMES! Yes, I am disappointed this game had no gnomes. Give me my ridiculous word playing goobers back.

Now that's a lot of grumbling up there, so onto some positive notes.

I think the transition to the point and click interface was a smooth one. I kind of wish the spells had visible labels as well with their icons, but that's not a big deal. Combat was still clunky but no worse than the previous games and maybe better in some ways.

I like the dialogue trees and having options both on the person you're speaking to and with yourself. It nicely covers "ask about" and "tell about".

There were some cool spots and moments! Like the giant tree! Very lovely. Monkey Village-pretty and cute. Some entertaining merchants. There were plenty of bits to enjoy.

And I did enjoy it overall with some frustrations. I know the negative section is far longer here but that's just because I had more to say there. It's just more of a mixed bag for me and feels like there was missed potential.

If I were to rank the games so far I'd have it at 2, 1, 3.

Feelings on the ending aside I am very curious to see what this will lead to in starting Quest for Glory IV and that's coming up next. See you there!

If it's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord

My favourite anime ☺️

[take-a-dip-in-the-deadpool]

I'm re watching "If it's for my daughter I'd even defeat a demon lord"

It's one of my favourite shows.

Its wholesome but has some edge. Found family. All the adventurers being gruff and crude except Latina is there and they're all total softies.

[simonxriley]

i started watching 'if it's for my daughter, i'd even defeat a demon lord' a little while ago and it was so cute and wholesome and then i got spoiled (my fault i decided to read comments). Why'd they have to go and make it all weird later on? 😭

Summer 2019 Anime Worth Watching

Summer is here, and with it brings another new season of anime! In case you’re feeling lost and want to find some new shows to pass the time, here’s some of the anime I think are worth checking out...because some really good shows tend to fly under the radar. I think there’s some genuinely interesting stuff this season, so hopefully you’ll find something you like too. 

I also have a Winter list and a Spring list and a fall list now!

And here’s my master list for 2020

New Shows!

Given: A *cough* BL *cough* romance anime in which tsundere highschool guitarist Ritsuka Uenoyama is on the verge of losing his passion for music when he stumbles upon the sleepy-eyed Mafuyu Sato who constantly carries a guitar around that he doesn’t know how to play. Drama and musical shenanigans ensue. This was by far my most anticipated show of the season, because I happen to have read a few chapters of this manga and liked it a lot. The only reason I stopped was because I wanted to hear the music in this music oriented story...so naturally the anime makes me very happy. Not only is it sweet and cute with great animation, but it’s also hilarious. Sato is also basically a human incarnation of a lost puppy, and you just help but fall in love with him and the other characters! AND NOW WE HAVE TWO GAY MUSIC SHOWS THIS SEASON! 

Dr. STONE: An action adventure anime that takes place 3,700 years in the future after the world is struck with a mysterious phenomenon that turns the entire human race to stone. Our protagonists: the genius, scientific minded Senku Ishigami and the muscle-y comic relief Taiju Oki, must find a way to rebuild civilization and turn humanity back to normal using the POWER OF SCIENCE! It’s fun, good looking, and way more interesting than I thought it would be. I’m not very attached to the main characters yet, although it’s still early. I’m mainly sticking around for the plot, the comedy, and the answers to the crazy amount of questions I have after watching the first episode!

Fire Force: An action/drama where super powered fire fighters must protect Tokyo from people who are spontaneously combusting while our hero Shinra must find out who started the fire that killed his mother. More than anything, I’d say this show is definitely worth watching for the cinematography and action because almost every second has been high flying dynamic animation that really grips you. It reminds me a lot of Soul Eater, the story and characters have a lot of potential, and you know an anime will be good when the girls have muscles too!

If it’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord: Can you tell it’s based on a light novel? A slice of life set in a fantasy world where an adventurer named Dale stumbles upon an adorable lost little girl in the woods, who happens to be branded as a criminal. So of course Dale basically adopts her and tries to find out how she came to be with him. It’s basically fantasy School Babysitters without the tragic depth to it (but there’s room for potential). Yes, this is definitely the most wholesome show of the season, but it’s to be expected considering it’s basically Japan’s latest attempt to get people to have more babies. Personally, the most interesting aspect of this show is the fact that Dale and his “daughter” can’t speak the same language. Unfortunately, the light novel ends up pulling a Bunny Drop...so I sincerely hope the anime doesn’t try the creepy romance factor. So for now, if you feel like puking up some rainbows, give this one a try. 

To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts: An action drama where, during a civil war, one side used “forbidden technology” to enhance their soldiers and basically turn them into badass monsters. The only problem: the soldiers who were turned start to lose their humanity and end up killing humans for the fun of it. Now our protagonist must hunt down his fellow soldiers and kill them before it’s too late. Honestly, this show has some pacing issues and can be a bit stilted in terms of its character interactions, but what kept me watching was the last 5 minutes of the first episode. I was so not prepared for the roller coaster that was the first episode’s ending, and now I’m extremely intrigued. Besides it’s made by MAPPA so I would at least give it a couple episodes to see if it’s for you.   

Vinland Saga: The story of a young boy named Thorfinn’s journey to become a great warrior and while the adults deal with going to war. IT’S THE ONE WITH THE VIKINGS!!! It basically feels like a darker, grittier viking version of Moana. I’ve heard literally nothing but praise for this manga for so many years that my hopes skyrocketed as soon as I heard Wit was doing the adaption. And it has definitely lived up to the hype so far! It’s a great action historical drama to fill the void after Dororo. The only problem is no one will watch it because it’s on Amazon Prime.

Kochouki: Wakaki Nobunaga: A fun brightly colored historical anime about the famous warlord Nobunaga when he was a young teenager. I honestly don’t know what the tone of this anime is going to be from here on out, because it’s going to go from “fun thieving shenanigans with pretty boys” to leading people into battle, but it got me interested. I know putting Nobunaga in an anime isn’t exactly original, but this one seems like a fun ride...and it looks gay as fuck. 

And I have to shout out some that haven’t premiered yet...just in case...

Try Knights: This one doesn’t come out until the end of July, but you bet your ass I’m going to be watching it because it’s an original anime about PRETTY BOYS PLAYING RUGBY! And I have a feeling it’s going to be very... different from the other resident rugby anime All Out. 

Yokai Ningen BEM (Humanoid Monster BEM): Okay, this one’s not out yet either, but the trailer had a really cool vibe to it, so I’m including it anyway. It’s a remake of the 1968 anime in which a group of yokai who look like humans fight crime in the big city. If nothing else, the music is cool, and it’s made by Production I.G, so why not?

*UPDATE* The first episode finally dropped, and holy crap I’m so into this. It’s basically Durarara mixed with Psycho Pass mixed with Bungo Stray Dogs. The first episode has me completely hooked!

Next seasons and continuations!

As always there are some leftovers from the spring season that are continuing into the summer that I highly suggest!

Carole and Tuesday: The musical sci-fi anime directed by Shinichiro Watanabe wherein a rich runaway named Tuesday meets a streetwise girl named Carole, and the two decide to start a band together. Now Carole and Tuesday must rise to stardom in a world dominated by android created music. It was by far my favorite new show of the spring, and if you can find a way to watch it (because it’s still not available legally anywhere aside from Japanese Netflix apparently) I wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s got the best and most diverse music I’ve seen in an anime in a long time, an interesting setting (apparently it takes place in the Cowboy Bebop universe!?), and very well rounded fun characters. And I'm dying for a soundtrack release with all the songs!!!!

Fruits Basket 2019: Yes, the remake of the classic 2001 anime in which a girl moves in with a family who can turn into animals from the zodiac is getting a full run. And thank God because I just can’t say goodbye to it after only 12 episodes. It is so stunningly beautiful in both animation and story subjects that I don’t know what I would do without it. The characters feel so much more fleshed out, and I feel like I learn a lesson about life each week even though I already know most of what’s going to happen. If you never watched the original because thought you were too “cool” to watch a shoujo anime, give it a chance. Because if you think it’s just a generic love triangle romance show, you couldn’t be more wrong. The reboot is so good at portraying different kinds of love and how the presence of love and family can change lives AND IT’S JUST SO FREAKING GOOD! 

Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba: In case you missed Ufotable’s newest project, this is a shounen anime that follows a young boy named Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko who has been possessed by a demon and their journey to turn Nezuko back to normal while fighting demons along the way. I still feel like this is a pretty basic shounen anime story wise, but I really like the characters, especially the villains. It has some of the coolest fighting/power mechanics I’ve seen in awhile, and the animation is very cool and different!

Ace of Diamond act 2: Our favorite shounen baseball anime is continuing into the summer. And I have very mixed feelings about this season so far. We are getting some fun new characters and some great scenes with the team, but the games are very...choppy and rushed. Apparently this is how it goes down in the manga, and we’re in for some good Sawamura development...but it’s still touch and go for me personally.  

That’s it for now. Most of these are available on Crunchyroll, except Vinland Saga, Carole and Tuesday, and Kochouki: Wakaki Nobunaga. Since Try Knights and Yokai Ningen BEM aren’t out yet, I don’t know where they will be available legally. 

See you next season!
