Bittersweet update: (I'll try to leave spoilers out)
The next time I fire up my Wii and click on RFF, I'll be playing the New Years Eve festival, and I have everything prepared for the start of spring; plenty of cabbage and potato seeds, plenty of monster pets to help out on the farm, plenty of high level tools. It should be a joyous occasion, after all my house is completely furnished (All furniture and equipment, second floor bedroom with a large bed, fancy curtains and a nice painting from Lute), I'm hitting level ups left and right (i'm at 52 now), half of the eligible girls are in love with me (8LP) and I've got plenty of money to retire on.. aka I don't have to harvest **** and can just spend more time dungeon crawling and monster beating. So why am I bummed out?
Well, to be frank.. I'm just TOO good. No seriously.
If I wasn't, I wouldn't be in this stupid situation I'm in:
A few updates ago, I mentioned that I was finally able to get past the second floor of the Snow Ruins and make it to the 3rd (or is it 4th?) where I encountered a would-be boss I didn't have to fight. (By the way, I didn't have to fight this boss cuz I'm just that good) This turned out to be a key point in the games storyline, which was finally progressing for me. However, this all happened a day or two After I agreed to go on a date with a certain character at the end of the month.. that character now went missing as part of the storyline.
The same day as I asked this character out, a second character had left town for her own personal reasons, and returns to Trampoli only once a week, on Holidays. Turns out this is an event I have to go thru with her before I can actually marry her. Again, this goes back to me just being that good.
So now, I have two characters absent from town, and I'm nearing the end of the first year. Part of the storyline event involves me giving a certain item to all the eligible girls in town and returning to them a few days later to recieve something back. Obviously I can't give one to the missing girl, but the girl that left town temporarily is (obviously) no where to be found during this and the end of Winter is drawing near! Luckily for me, the day some of these events started to unfold, I was towards the weekend anyway, so I was able to give the girl what I needed to, but unforntunately I'd have to wait till the next "Holiday" to see her again and retrieve what I need to finally finish this storyline.
It just irks me that this all happened at once, and its because I tried so hard to finish as much as I could before the end of my first year. Now look at me, my goals ruined by my own work ethic. If I didn't push myself I wouldn't of gotten that far so fast in the Snow Ruins, or at the least wouldn't of went outta my way to give this girl gifts on a daily basis in order to trigger the marriage prerequisite event so early on, and I wouldnt be dissapointed that neither of my goals were accomplished (I'd originally hoped to beat all the games bosses within the first year and draw out the storyline afterwards).
Oh, in my last few days of Winter since I had nothing to do but wait (to try and finish the storyline) I ended up pressing even further in to the Snow Ruins and made it to the last floor, barely. I can kill a few of the enemies up to the 3rd floor but after that.. its brutal. All the monsters feel as if they're twice the level I'm at, and they're in abundance to make matters worse. I literally made it past like 6 monsters, taking only one hit, and making it down the last flight of stairs with only a slither of health. Luckily, as has been standard for the last floor of a dungeon, there are no enemies so I was able to open the last door to the shortcut-steps to make things easier whenever I feel confident enough to take on the boss.
I went home, saved, and went back to do a lil boss preview and see what its like... my god. I hit the damn thing with my stongest weapon (its actually my trusty Super Sickle) and its Level 3 Special Attack (Tripple hitting spin-slash) and I thought I missed because its health bar didn't budge. Damn..
