SERIES COMPLETE: Tokusou Sentai DekaRanger

Whew. That took me like six months, but was totally worth it. The ending felt a little anticlimactic, after all that buildup... but in general, I had a couple of favorite characters (Sen, Tetsu, Swan) and didn't actually DISLIKE anyone, it was agreeably over-the-top and goofball, and was largely a fantastic "I need cheering up so I'll watch..." show.

Not sure what I'll replace it with. This was the first sentai I've watched all the way through... and technically, I still have the two "Crossover" episodes. Maybe I'll watch the next year's series. I think it's MagiRanger... hrmm.

From the Department of Way Too Late To Help...

I really wish I'd had this years ago.

...Ah, nevermind. On further inspection, it looks like this guide is for what if you specc'd "Jock" at char creation. I went "Fat Kid/Weird/Geeky", so this isn't much help.

(The jocks needed a walkthrough? I figured they just kinda cruised on through.)

Incidentally, if you like JRPGs, The Last Remnant's on sale over on Steam for 10 bucks.

For those who'll know what this means, it's basically a SaGa game with a heavily party-based mechanic: That is, there's more recruitable characters than Shining Force and Chrono Cross COMBINED, and you can have eighteen of them banded together and sent into battle under the command of a Major leader-type party member.

It's -very- complex and sidequest heavy if you like that kind of thing. Very recommended. I've played a bit of the 360 version, and this was on my gift wishlist for a while. (Yay, posting that thing did some good.)

Please don't let this go by if you're at -all- a JRPG fan, and you have a PC Beefy enough to run it. It is a sorely, sadly overlooked game and shouldn't be.
