DC Live! Thousand Arms, part 9
I know, this isn’t our usual day. Or even our previous usual day. But I’ll be away for work the next three days, and I’d hate for you all to go a week without a stream. Besides, we’ve got a rescue mission to do. Because the rest of my party is completely useless for protecting each other and I have to do everything myself.
Thousand Arms is an RPG in which your hero is a young blacksmith of destiny tasked with saving the world by killing the emperor. Videogames.com called it “One of the most unique and promising RPG[s] this year [1999],” which was the only praise that made it onto the packaging. I’m assuming Videogames.com was not up on Final Fantasy VIII. Or Star Ocean: The Second Story. Or Suikoden II. Or Jade Cocoon. That being said, I suppose of all these RPGs there aren’t really any two that belong together.
