Adventures To Go Chapter 1: I got this game for 9 Bucks, not expecting much.

Interesting title, main character looks cool, only nine bucks. Let's get this show on the road.

King Gelstan III? There were two Gelstan's before him?

Finn Courtland? I don't get a naming feature to abuse. You can at least give me that.

I'm a full fledged warrior now. Hooray?

No overworld map, first sign of a bad J-rpg.
Heading to my house. It'sa lawn mowing time.

I love how my sister just stands in the same character animation the entire time. Demon kings? I'm lost now.

The market is in a recession now, so that's what drove me to becoming a warrior. . . still lost. My dad looks funny.

The father whom I've decided to name Snaggletooth, tells me he found some snow crabs. Which are crabs, that hang out in snow for you less genre savvy readers. Apparently they're all the rage.

I just got 2000 dollars. Hooray?

Well now that the cutscenes over time to check my equipment.
1x Hatchet
1x Bandana
1x Plain Shirt
1x Plain Pants
1x Plain Shoes.

Wow I am the greatest warrior ever.

Now let's head to the scholars house to meet up with. . . . Is that santa claus?

Santa told me I possess great mental Acumen, Not sure what exactly that is.

Santa Claus has all the Tutorials I don't feel like reading through. So let's head elsewhere.

And we arrive at Adventures to Go, the walmart of this J-rp world. Snaggletooth just gave me 2000 big ones, so let's buy some shit.

Firs to the weapons store, so I can get my +! dwarves axe of invulnerability.

Wow look at the Great selection J-rpg walmart has to offer.

1x Dagger 800
1x Used Sword 1000
1x Sword Sword 2000

The armor store has a better selection, but I just burnt all my money on a dagger, so I'll just get a buckler.

Lastly we make our way to the Item Store, to buy potions. Healing Pills. Same difference.

And so we say goodbye to J-rpg Walmart for now, but it won't let me until I've ordered an adventure. Whatever that is.

So I finally make my way to the information booth, to be met by a blonde chick, the fifth person so far to predict my untimely death. I'm supposed to be the hero of the J-rpg, what's with the lack of confidence here. Is this game not telling me anything.

Apparently I have to go to the magic store as well. Which I avoided because my typical strategy in a J-rpg is charge in and cut everything.

And then I meet the magical teller, who starts hitting on me. Or maybe not. I go to buy a shard, but there all over 800 dollars, and I have about 50 Gold at the moment. So I head back to the information booth.

Apparently I have to go to the plaza as well, man this information booth is picky. There I meet an old man, appropriately titled old man. He rambles on about how they can only summon bugs and beasts, which I don't care much about. I'm fifteen minutes into this J-rpg and I haven't gotten to turnbased cut anything. This is starting to bore me.

And they just lampshaded the fact that monsters drop things in RPGs. Clever.
Apparently I'm only in the Adventuring biz to make money.

Back to the information booth, and they finally let me order an adventure. Whatever that means.

Now I have to go back to the office to get a quest to kill things. Something like that.

Now it's time to take my quest to kill bugs for the pharmacy. Adventure HO!

I've come to the made up adventure world, because in this game adventuring is business. Apparently.

My first battle. I've got to say, this game does at least try to mix the battles up a bit. I'm reminded of a cross between strategy and regular turn based combat. Something similar to Disgaea's.

So the basic gameplay of the "adventuring" is that of a dungeon crawler.

After crawling my way through two rooms, it appears I've completed the tutorial level. Hoorayz.
