And we’re down to my final TA Bingo game from the event last year, and it is sadly the mainland Asia version of Enchanted Arms. Oddly I remember pretty much nothing about this game from the last time I completed it, except that I just did not enjoy it. Well, I definitely didn’t misremember, and this has been a heck of a slog. It’s a grid-based strategic RPG with an otherwise standard set of cliche RPG elements and such. There is a neat Golem mechanic that you can use to craft team members to help with various fights or what-not, but, when the four human characters are overall so much better and offer more utility, there’s not much of a point beyond the initial area of the game. Even better, this version of the game offers the same way to cheese the casino with a little save-scumming to become very OP early on. So, while this has been a slog and I’m nearing the end of the campaign, it has been very easy and chill to the extent that I could use the Auto feature in-battle until only very recently, and only for bosses. I’m hoping to have this wrapped up before my next entry. Well… at least mostly wrapped up; unlike the other version of this game, there are three unobtainable achievements, which means I can never complete this. And I didn’t notice this when I started it, because I thought this was the NTSC-J version, which is understandable since my friend obtained this from a secondhand store in Japan. Oopsie.
