\nEquipped some nice earrings for your day off with a special someone, Asuna? I\u2019m gonna go ahead and assume the type of item equipped is of the type that doesn\u2019t really have all that big of an effect on the user when equipped a la bracelets and the like in the Persona<\/em> games? It makes sense and all, but I always found those kinds of items useless… or at the least I didn\u2019t swap them out as often as I did with other equippable things. Yes, if you didn\u2019t find out already, I\u2019m using my SAO reviews as my opportunity to gripe about the handful of RPGs I\u2019ve played.<\/p>\n

\nI always wondered what it would be like if shopkeepers in games had a bit more personality outside of \u201clemme sell you this\u201d and \u201clemme rip you off when I buy your stuff for half the price you got it for.\u201d Though talk of legendary dragons guarding rare items seems a bit too clich\u00e9 for my liking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMidway through the episode and Lisbeth is coming off as essentially a one-episode version of Winry minus the backstory. Though I guess you could say she makes up for that by having the show\u2019s Ed continue to speak down to her even though she clearly has some experience on her, which is a bit annoying. She\u2019s been trapped in the game the same amount of time as you have and was able to not only make it to the higher level floors, but also make a nice li\u2019l sword shop, too. Give her some credit, Kirito.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWith the tone of the last couple episodes, I was expecting some kind of twist with the dragon actually being some dude hoarding the crystals for himself, but instead we get a Blue Eyes White dragon. Okay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n…followed by another scene of Kirito insisting that he is on par with any main character in a Persona<\/em> game. I wouldn\u2019t mind, but 1) we already had a similar scene to this before and 2) there\u2019s been enough tension built between him and Asuna to warrant not putting the show in the direction of a harem. And a love triangle just doesn\u2019t feel right for this show. Kirito doesn\u2019t need this many ladies around him and honestly, 7 episodes in, I was hoping there\u2019d be a larger focus on the guilds teaming up to charge through the latter floors of the game. How far behind episode-wise am I? *checks Wikipedia* Ugh, if it\u2019s aiming for 26 episodes, I hope they make more in the vein of 5 and 6 soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
