there or more strongthings to buy

Milk is cheap enough to buy 99 without much effort. Did you use a level goodie to get your characters to 99 and then not reset Mel? 150 several times over works fine for me.

@mara: if you mix the correct ingredients together (a lady in tyobi can give the right formula) you'll be able to make something heal 400(?i think that was the right number) hp. Elixirs are still around in two cities which heal full hp/mp/poison. So nope, there's plenty of healing stuff. And rugs correct that milk's cheap: just farm for the gold.

as for healers: conventions doesn't mean it will happen in every single game. why make everything the same for each AV game?

KTC, if you're talking about VS, it makes 4 that heal 450 each for a total of 1800.

man, the music in Underfall is creepy !!!!!!!!

i actually like it. better than the grunt battle music. (which I changed cuz I was getting tired of it after hearing it on rewind so many times. FF music rocks. lol)

i definitely know that i'm going to go back and complete all of those side quests. whenever i play these new games, the main plot line always distracts me.

i think that the ending was,.......oh what's the word? i don't think it was a cliffhanger, because the ending was very casual after you beat you-know-who, but i do think it just dropped off. like a frayed rope. too many loose ends. i hope TDP comes out soon, because i don't much like this ending.


the whole Spook turning into Gyendel thing was totally unexpected. i felt literally betrayed, and my mouth hung open all during the final battle from shock. it was very well done. guess I'm gonna have to change my avvie and siggie set again, won't i? lol.

lydia. truthfully, i would have like to see and hear more from her. her brief little (okay, not really *little*)stints were entertaining while they lasted, and so was her argument with Edward, but she was just sort of not there after the first half of the game. as much as i hate lydia, she's someone you love to hate, and someone you want more from every day.

the new lands of Eldrion were amazing. Harakuna was a bit to small for my tastes, but i got lost more than once in Peliad and Tyobi. They were probably some of the biggest cities I have ever seen Aveyond do, and I really loved exploring them. please, make more!

as for length, i got the game at 10 pm. I stayed up till 3 in the morning playing it. then i played it for another 5 hours the next day. it may seem to go by in the blink of an eye, but it really does take a long time to complete. and that's a good kind of long time.

if i were to give this game a percentage grade, i would give it a 98%. It's almost perfect, it just needed a bit of tweaking. i know no one can do anything about it now that it's out, but you can keep these comments in mind as your creating the next one!




Disclaimer - The above critiquing was my ugly side showing through. don't take it the wrong way. I absolutely ADORED this game.

that's not bad - 10 hours without doing several side quests. If you make the right decisions the next time around, you WILL get to have a little more fun with Lydia.

I've also edited your post to hide a little more of that spoiler than you hid yourself

sorry, forgot to proof read it *blushes*

I'm now to the end (though I can't manage the boss fight yet...), and I loved the game. Is still think AV1 is my favorite of the games, but this one comes pretty close. I loved the end areas of Underfall and Acropolis. They are my two favorite towns in any Aveyond game. Underfall just has this feel to it that I love, and Acropolis is beautiful. I just wish that they played a bigger part in this game (I'm assuming they'll be in the next game? It seemed they were just skimmed over here, so...)

However, what I didn't like was how Mel would just state the answer to the puzzle or someone else would. Instead of leaving it to you to figure out (though I admit that at time I've been unable to figure things out and I get frustrated). For example, I heard about how we had to get the Bistro out of business. I was like, "YES! RATS!" and then Mel says, "I need some rats." Oh, okay. It just doesn't leave it to you to figure it out, unfortunately. Oh well. That's a minor complaint. I really did like the game.

Oh, and I was thinking. Could a goodie with all of the Moo Hatchery eggs be possible? It's sort of a bummer to start a new game and see that you can't get any of the animals for the hatchery. ?

I doubt we'll be adding something like that. Having all the eggs (or rather, all the pets) is a bonus for people who have purchased, and played, all three games. To provide things that were only available in previous games takes away from that.

Most of the testers started with a new game, and made their way through fine without the additional eggs. So it's a bonus for those who are continuing a game, and some extra variety/challenge for those who start fresh


Did you find the two eggs that you can hatch in this game?

Only the pixie one. I have no idea where the other one is. Anyways, that makes sense. I was just saying that because I've played through the previous games (multiple times) on another computer, so I did a new game here, and the pets weren't there. It's not a big deal or anything.

The second egg is in a dark and dreary place, and I don't mean Peliad.

I have all of the Aveyond games and love them all. I didn't know that there were 5 parts to the Orbs until I got to the end of The Lost Orb, and had to restrain myself from throwing my puter. Now, i'll be checking everyday until I find out when the next one comes out. I really love these games

1. I have to agree with the iPink about giving answers straight out. I was so proud of myself for immediately realizing that we needed rats... it wasn't necessary for Mel to say it, it's something fairly easy to figure out. I guess the reason is because you need to trigger the ability to use the cage (which is otherwise blocked) but still.

2. I would also like to say I found some of the settings in this game to be among the most gorgeous, awesome, and unique I've ever seen. I know this is going to sound weird, but I loved the Great Tree's root system. Peliad had the perfect sketchy feel.

3.People said it was nice that the cities were large... I guess, but without a speed booster I would get irritated having to walk around when it took so, so long to get where I needed to go. Mostly I think the irritation was because, without a walkthrough, I would struggle for a while to figure things out and that ended up meaning going in circles over and over making sure I had checked every house etc...

I finally finished chapter three, and I must say that it is very satisfying. The length was great, the ending was even better, and everything else in the middle was awesome. I really liked Te'ijal's letters. I cannot wait until chapter 4 comes out. I really hope that Yvette, and maybe June, come back in chapter 4. I would also like to see Hercules, (maybe in the party? Kinda like Mad Marge in Av1), have some sort of attraction points with Yvette. I was kind of hoping to pair them together in this chapter. It seemed like Hercules having a relationship with Yvette is hinted or just teasing. I hope that chapter 4 is as long as chapter 3, or if possible even longer. This chapter was definitely worth the wait.

But you do need Mel, June, Yvette and Edward to advance the storyline, since they have abilities outside of battle that are necessary

First of all, I want to say that this game is awesome. I looooove it. And for the first time, since I play Aveyond series, I can complete the game without cheating to this forum This is a personal achievement for me Although, I almost gave up when I was stuck in the Worm Tunnel. All I can say is I was able to get out there because I was lucky. In the future, I make sure to myself that I will make little note to trace my way back every time I enter a tunnel

By the way, I love Yvette and June. June is cute and Yvette sounds fun (and she's pretty too).

Congrats - that's a HUGE achievement, especially for someone who's had to rely on forum help in the past. I hope you feel really proud, and happy

OK, This is probably bad etiquette since I haven't read any of the above posts, but I just HAD to comment on the game. I am SO enjoying it, I'm taking my time going around meeting people and killing monsters and all that spending a lot of time in the knocker.. whoops.. worm holes...
I just had to say thanks to Amanda for her devious imagination, and for all the rest who contributed to bring out this game. I'll comment more specifically on the game later when I can safely read this thread without fear of spoilage.
