I like looking at chests alone in the middle of big symmetrical rooms, saying "that's TOTALLY not trapped" in a voice dripping with sarcasm, and them acting surprised when it is :D
So I just re-played this after beating Mardek 3, and wow, this seems easy now. I did a anally completionist (getting every single treasure chest possible, every bestiary entry, every side quest/ secret, etc) run through of chapter 1 and this in just under 6 hours. Still fun as heck, but wow.
@Fin765: If you would, you know, read the instructions, you'd see that it's SUPPOSED to do that when you re-enter the game, to ad an element of risk. The save ability is just so you don't have to start over again when you go AFK.
Great game, but slight gripe here. Shaking around, which is what I assume the down button represents, would not make the planes fall any faster in the slightest. Gravity doesn't work that way.
At least, that was one of the complaints of my fingers in their declaration of independence.
