I knew my obsessive replaying of this game would one day come in handy. Now you need to do a quiz on Soul Blazer, I play that game annually.

Glad I picked this game up on Virtual Console...
16/20, Silver Badge. Mixed up Marahna and Aitos. And forgot which spell destroyed rocks and how many villagers seal a monster lair. But I'm fine with that.

I missed 4 or something.

It was fun trying to play this with the Gamecube controller, where B and Y are separated by quite a distance. Fortunately, the action is quite forgiving and this never presented the same shoot while jumping problems that Contra III would if I downloaded it.

Aw damn! A lousy Gold! So who is Death Heim, then? That name really stood out to me! Where is it from?! Also, I swore up and down that it took seven villagers to seal a lair; one in a red robe, and six others.

Aw nuts!

So hows this BFF thing work, is it like the Highlander and there can be only one? If need be I will totally battle NihonTiger to the death for the BFF status, but I also feel that between the three of us we could throw a pretty bitchin' slumber party. I make a mean pot of Earl Grey.

I only got the last one wrong as well. I thought it was Death Heim, because that's what it says you cleared at the end.
