Lost Odyssey - Day 2

I've been a little lazy the past couple days on writing here. But, I have completed the first disk as of like 2 AM this morning.

The story is really cool so far, though a little confusing. From what I have gathered, here is the story:

Kaim (the main guy from the commercials, fighting in the middle of all the soldiers) is an "immortal" and has lived for 1000 years. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember anything in particular. As the place where he was fighting gets nuked by a meteor, another immortal (named Seth, who also has amnesia) is also out there and survives. Gongora, starts "helping" Tolten, the old regime's prince (who Jansen refers to as "Golden Boy" later on,) survive attacks set against him.
While Kaim, Seth and Jansen are out, Kaim and Seth start to regain their memories. It all culminates for Kaim when he sees his daughter and finds out he has 2 grandchildren.

It's really confusing, but that is what I gathered so far.

I finally developed a system to get perfects nearly every time (which helps for the 3-in-a-row achievement.) Watch the timer instead of the ring itself. Hold down the trigger before the character's turn comes up, and when the timer is around 41-35 seconds, let go. That is the area where getting a perfect can happen, no matter what level ring you have equipped.

The sidequests are a real pain. Without having a guide other than the ones from Gamefaqs, it's hard to know were the seeds are (easily) and know where to activate the sidequests. They aren't really that bad all-in-all though. Nothing really intense to make it impossible to finish (with the exception of a couple sidequests.)

I will talk more about this later. Right now, I'm getting ready to see if I can get another 30 GS to bring my total Gamerscore total to 10,000 (though, since I have an odd number of points, I will be over if I get 30.)
