Cosmic Fantasy: Bouken Shounen Yuu (PCECD - 1990) playthrough 8/18 Jill's Castle

3 months ago
13

One of the first 3 RPGs ever released on the CD format, this is a very generic JRPG of the time.
Finally making it out the other side of the Volcano Cave, we head to Jill's Castle. The first must-have piece of equipment, the Flame Staff, is found here, which makes Saya a better attacker than Yuu. Saya also levels up enough to learn the highest level healing spell, Rana 3. I've never discovered the limit to how many HP Rana 3 can restore. Making it to Jill of Flame, of course Rosa is not who she claimed she was. We defeat Jill and rescue Nimrud's princess, Lina. We then run into, and are defeated by, Sylph before heading back to Maas. The only thing I do in Maas is sell items. So the video is pretty much done when I get back to Maas at 1:31:18.

Captions also include my commentary on things that happen, like when the game freezes up.

Played on a PC Engine Duo-R using composite out, running it through a RetroTINK 5X-Pro to an Elgato HD60 X capture card. Recorded in OBS Studio.
