I believe the monster is called “Fallen Champion”. Quite an impressive display I witnessed… I was training Rue to become a better wizard at the time, and of course, I was not even able to scratch this monster that appeared before me. The ones who were able to defeat it eventually was the family with wings in the picture.

Why was I there? Well, I wanted the screen shot that’s all. ;p The female wizards look so impressive levitating..! I hope Rue will be able to do that soon too…

I’ve been playing a lot of GE again lately, and the matter between a Female Scout (Renae) and Emilia Guilano (Regina) has been on my mind for a while now…

As much as Female Scout reminds me of Hale Berry, I still think Emilia is cuter. Plus, if I remember correctly, Emilia’s stats are better than a scout’s.

At least, that’s what I thought…

I was playing GE during my lunch break to level Regina when I met the Mirandeas Family from “No Such Faction” (interesting faction name, isn’t it?). We met by chance while I went to Tetra Hill, and both of us decided on a similar spot…

I was a bit curious since Mirandeas was only using 2 characters, Grace Bernelli and Catherine the Summoner. Mirandeas first asked if he(?) could give me some advice. He told me not to waste my time on leveling Emilia since I already had a Wizard.

NOTE: Emilia is a combination of a Wizard and a Scout, and my team consisted of Rue (Wizard), Regina, and Renae Kuassary at the time…

Anyway, as according to Mirandeas, I should simply continue using my scout. Emilia may have better stats, but both her defense and HP is very low. I had initially thought Emilia the Sage and Emilia Guilano were one and the same, and people were dying to get one of the 9,999 Emilia the Sage characters onto their family…

Live and learn I suppose…

I have a few more screenies for updates… Maybe I can double post later today.

Ok… First of all, I’m stealing Rei’s Onions. Just because I found one that is so appropriate for this occasion…

Granado Espada is nerfing the NPCs including my LADY CATHERINE!!! ZOMG!!!

Uhm… o_o;;;

Nerfing actually means lowering the stats… Depending on the character statistics, the Game Masters can lower practically anything from intelligence to attack power…

“Furthermore, they proposed that Grace Bernelli, Catherine the Summoner, Lorch and Emilia the Sage will not be able to wear Leather armor. On top of that, a decrease in ATK by 50% for Jack?s Turrets and a decrease in ATK by 50% for Catherine’s summons.”

No, no, no, no, no!!! My Lady Catherine must prevail!!!

So yeah I was pretty upset about it for a while… And I do mean quite a while. Even with the 90 day free play period before the pay to play mode begins, I didn’t feel like playing Granado Espada anymore… But I did decide to see what people thought about it in the forums…

And then I saw Hrin’s (the GE Regional Community Manger) post:

In summary, despite all the changes IMC proposed to us about nerfing characters, ONLY Emilia the Sage has been nerfed from INT 8 to INT 7. All other RNPCs remain intact.

“…”

So I got upset over nothing…

NOTHING I SEH!!! Dx

I feel like the smartest person in the world… (note the sarcasm)

*downloads the patch and goes to play*

Due to the lack of excitement in the Pangya Series lately (Updates are slow, servers are always crashing, etc., etc.), Kooh has moved on to a new game. And in the first day alone, she got hooked.

Granado Espada is a revolutionary new style in online gaming. You control 3 characters at once, giving you the versatility of creating and controlling your own party. You no longer need to beg for a Healer type of character to play with you, you can have your own. You can also get NPCs to play with you and grab exclusive items and stats.

Each player will create a “family”, so to speak. You will create a member of the family, and have a maximum of 3 in your party each time you go out on a mission or quest. Although there are other means to replenish your HP, it’s highly recommended you bring a Scout (Healer) in your party.

There are 5 types of characters to choose from. Fighters are sword and hand-held types who can fight in close range. They are excellent in attack and defense, but have a tendency to stray from the party while chasing after a runaway creature. Wizards are magicians that are good in both offense and defense, and focuses on long range attacks. This is by far my favorite of the 5 characters. Of course, you also have the Scouts who are essential for their healing abilities. You can equip scouts with weapons, but like Fighters, they can stray from the party, leaving the other 2 characters in serious danger. The Musketeers are my second favorites, because they use a variety of guns. I find long range weapons extremely vital in the game. Finally, we have the Elementalists who are much like Wizards, but they tend to use the elements (fire, wind, ice, and lightning are the ones I know of so far) as compared to the later that use sorcery.

A couple of NPCs that you can recruit in the game are a mixture of the 5 character types. As I heard, Emilia is a mix of the Wizards and the Scouts. Bernelli is a Musketeer, but only she can use shotguns. Certain NPCs will only be available once you reach a certain level.

What can I say? This game got me hooked. It takes only a few hours to get used to it, and the environment is highly detailed. Join us in the fight for a Free For Life Granado Espada!
