Info Stuff: Yugioh Forbidden Memories is actually pretty easy, if you know what you’re doing. This game is unlike any of the other ones made, Duelist of the Roses notwithstanding. In this game it is still turn-based like all the others, but does NOT go through the “phases” that many (or the only other one I played) do. Essentially, it and DotR are the furthest from the original card game. There's alot of other stuff to mention, but it can be said in game when it comes up.

So what made you want to SSLP this game?
My sheer love of this game, and sheer fact the difficulty curve is ridiculous.

Fair enough, so will you be doing Duelist of the Roses as well?
Possibly, though I doubt it right now.

I think I remember this game now, doesn’t it need massive grinding at some points?
Not particularly, but I will be though. Not for cards though… well partially.

Can we participate as well?
Yes, but it doesn’t come until later in the game when we have some “freedom”.

Can we draw stuff?
Sure, draw away you crazy kids. I know I will.

I can't stop laughing at this picture. Why is he blue though?

It may be because only about 2% of his body isn't covered by parchment-colored robes and five-foot tall headwear.

I also recall him and that zombie-looking guy on the cover being in Dark Duel Stories for GBC. Holy shit that game had a huge difficulty curve. I had to use a GameShark cheat that gave the opponent only one life point to beat the late-game opponents, and even with that cheat I still lost to one of them at least once.

Doesn't DDS actually follow the TCG rules though? I can't see it being _that_ hard if you're actually pretty good at the real game if it is.

As for FM, do we get a minor say in what's going in the deck JD?

I've always loved card games, don't know why. Never played this though, this will be interesting. I would like some watcher interaction in terms of deck. I never really used equip cards, don't like them.

As I abandoned my YGO ROD thread due to the massive amount of bullshit toward the end of the game, I'm going to stick with this one to see how this game is different.

Wow, thanks for all the replies. If memory serves right DDS seems to follow some of the actual rules for the game, but has almost the exact same rule set as DotR for the PS2. Also, the difficulty curve, yeah it's rediculous in this game as well. At one part in the game you face a weak card, the next part, something you'd expect final boss if not late game. That is also why I'm grinding my ass off off-screen. You'll see why I do that in the next "part" of the game.


As for what's in my deck, well, I never thought of it. Seems like it'd be a pretty good idea, especially since there seems to be such interest in the thread. Since I already have Ch. 2 done (not in BB Code yet) we'll start on Ch. 3. At then end of each chapter I'll have the chest, that's all the cards I have, posted. What I want to know is do you want to know what's already in my deck? I'll post a SS of that in my next post to the thread if so. As for equip cards, IMO they're worthless till later in the game.... well most of them are. There are a select few that aren't (due to what's in my deck), and then the special ones that make certain cards kick ass.... and ass-ish depending.

Also, the next post may be a bit delayed because I found out that apparently I am moving in the very near future. By very near I mean I should be out by this weekend if not next. I'm not being evicted, I just hate where I live now, and get to move near a friend.

May the heart of the cards be with you.

Sorry, couldn't resist. *snicker*

Also I just realized this. You need to get an image host besides Photobucket. Photobucket is awful for SSLPs. I'd recommend using Imageshack, they're much more stable and you won't run into bandwidth issues.

Interesting fact: The Dark Id (yes, the guy that did all those Resident Evil SSLPs) uses Photobucket for his images... although his updates are akin to NPs to say the least.

Wasn't he in Eternal Duelist Soul for the GBA? I remeber him being in the last tier with Pegasus, The duelbot, and Yugi's grandpa.

Photobucket is always last resort for me. Xs.to was having overload issues for an entire day, I just don't like imageshack because you have to jump through hoops to get the damn code BB code for for it, and google translate won't translate far enough for me to use abload.de.I like to be able to read the site I'm uploading to.

Here's some "fan art".

Yay, fan art! I'll just put that in my pocket..... and the OP.

Update removed. Game Restarted.

No Winged Beasts? There goes one of my favourite fusions from what little bit of playtime I managed before. But if you get one from the shop/duel spoils, I most definitely you fuse it with a pyro (preferably Wings of Wicked Flame) for the Crimson Sunbird (2300 Atk makes it slightly better than Flame Cerberus).

Alternatively, if you get them both in your hand, fuse Armed Ninja w/Obese Marmot. It'll turn two crappy cards into a semi-decent one (for this stage at least) - Tiger Axe (1800 Atk IIRC).

I love Crimson Sunbird, but it hasn't saved my ass near as much as Stone D or Flame Cerebus though. Not to mention I could always use a thunder with Stone D. to make Twin Headed Thunder Dragon.

Ah yeah. I forgot about that helpful little bugger. 2800 Atk/~2000 (?) Def... he's a little bastard when the AI pulls him out though.

I think I know who Jono is (I've never played this game before so this is a guess)

I'll put it in a spoiler, just in case I'm right.




Also, since (as you said) monster cards don't have special effects, then get rid of Man-Eater Bug as soon as it's a smart move to do so. That monster is crap without it's special move (and the reason so many people use it)

I'm looking forward to more, keep it up, JD

The only special effect these cards have is pissing me off when the opponent grows smart all-of-a-sudden.
