Here's the final credit roll and the short epilogue. It's interesting to note that the credits weren't translated from japanese, the US credits were just tacked onto the end. Very unique amongst US-released games.
Longest fight in the game, and I make some pretty silly mistakes while playing (especially at the end). This fight could have been done a minute or two quicker pretty easilly, but I'll let the speed runners handle that one. Epic battle and a damn nice ending.
My technique here is really basic but I make it through ok on most of the fights. Again, I abuse the shield a lot and just shoot with my gun. Hell, it does enough damage where it's actually a reasonably effective way to take everyone down.
Hang in there, we're almost there! Going down I trigger a few alarms and get into some fights, which really is just a nice opportunity to get some experience, especially since I'm powerful enough to take down most enemies in one or two shots.
Here's a tricky fight (for me). You have to nail the hell out of that weak point but also ensure your shield is up or else you get a hell of a pounding from his attack. Sometimes I can time the shield just right and make it though without getting hit, sometimes he bombards the hell out of me.
On the way down to the middle floors, I managed to trip a few more alarms than I would have liked. Also, my combat techniques were sloppier than normal around this part resulting in some hits that should have been avoided (not to mention getting into fights that could easilly have been avoided).
Ahh yes, the Twin Guardians. A take on the classic "you can only hurt one at a time" gimmick. I use the Shield a good bit in this one and thankfully come away with a "Good", which really isn't that good. Still, I'm happy just to be done with these guys :(
It's time to neutralize the defense systems of the Tower. There's switches for each rotor pile that need to be deactivated before we can reach the bottom, so off we go to hunt 'em down
