OMG Woot - Now who wants to do it with me?

OMG Woot - Now who wants to do it with me?

Its a one player quest lol

The quest is now up and ready to be played by all!

Also i found out annoyingly last night that if you have already completed Blue Star Memories before it came out on the E.U. servers, you wont be able to download the Episode III quest, which means you've gotta do it all over again on an E.U. server. If you try and download the quest, it will say 'No Download File Found'.

[Starman]

Well I tried it. I got all the way to the (Final?) Dragon Boss but Break died - He didn't heal himself, and I don't have high enough Resta. Anyone got one going spare?

[shelly]

i find it harder than the usa and jp vesrion for some reaon and also have you noticd the extra monsters too.

does it matter if you get a s or a rank, i a a a then down loaded future forcast not future bullet which bte is not all that good 2 v1 using the fo is not my cup of tea lol.

i did not get any special acrds either sigh.

[Starman]

Just need to get an A rank or above.

[Lee-yoshi]

What it is i think is when you get asked to choose whether its 'A Story' or not. If you click its not a story n its true then u shud continue onto the final bosses. thats the difference i found.

I also found the EU version a lot harder then the US one. When trying to complete it first time, as Starman did, Break died at the very last moment!, however when not caring the second time through (I just wanted 2 get it dun!) i selected the 'Its a story' option n i didnt play the final boss, nothing else was different, however the first time i chose the option for 'Its true'. I have now played Future Forecast, but not Future Bullet. Im not sure whether its a name change for EU or there is another called Future Bullet for when you finish the entire quest.

Also after many attempts i have completed the 2V1 CARD battle, but i dont remember getting much special. A few new cards but nothing blinding!

[shelly]

i now have future forecast and future bullet to get future bullet not much better than forecast btw, you need to say yes you believe in the hero@s of old etc and yes get A A A minimum.

Then you have both to download after beating 2 boss's not one.

I hate being that force tho grrr and i did not get any new cardsfor completing the quest i got C in one and B in the other .

[Lee-yoshi]

Is it not that different then? I wont bother wasting my time going through Blue Star Memories again, its surpringsly time consuming... Why do Break & Orland have to keep talking... SHUDDUP!
