Granado Girl: The Futel Family in Granado Espada SEA

July 3, 2008 As mom downloaded the whole 200++mb patch and encountered a lot of installation and patching issues upon the coming of Requiem v2.6, we were agitated :D Haha. See: The game doesn't patch in Mom's laptop but it patches in her brother's PC BUT she can get in v 2.4 and play and there are new things all over. But the version still says 2.6 Oh well. Next day, she used her brother's PC to finish patching, copied in her external HD and voila! Hello Granado Espada v2.6 :) As Darkness Falls, True Heroes Emerge. What a tagline. Anywho, here's the poster taken from the official GE website :) Sorry if it's cut and cut. Seems like IAH cut it in parts and blogger can't connect it without spaces in between. Anyways, here are some thingies that we noticed inside the game. FONTS are changed. Yep. It looks like this font but it's smaller but it definitely has serifs like these. But the smileys which gamers do such as >_ . NEGATIVE barracks bug. Some peopl...

June 20, 2008 Friday It was a boring afternoon as Matthieu, Catherine and I were grinding in Bahama Marshlands (of course, in hopes of getting another level 100 weapon and/or a Snail Skin). Anyways. A notice suddenly came up and the GM greeted us and we greeted him/her back. Woot~~ not all though. I mean, some families were picking on the GM. Mom, and our family, on the other hand, just laughed it off since we find blaming the GM funny because we know that GMs do not have the power to increase drop rates or EXP rates or something like that. GMs are only there to discipline and monitor - nothing more, nothing less. So when this stupid IDeaD from Vivaldi began testing the GM's patience, we were laughing because he really looked stupid in all of Vivaldi. FYI: Mom had an argument with IDeaD some weeks ago regarding our faction. She told her to fix his English before engaging into a heated verbal argument with her. Then POOF! She blocked him. No more PMs :D Anyway, back to the GM. Here...

It's a calm, long and boring maintenance day. Since GE is down, my sisters and brothers and I are lazying around the house, sleeping and playing with Cath's dolls, or joking with Viki. So boring. Anyway, Mommy just received an official match from Europe - now she'll be leaving in 2 months for Czech Republic. An internship for 10 whole months. So does it mean that our family will be gone in Granado Espada? Never. Mom might not login that much but we surely will still be in Vivaldi :) She'll be working so she can spoil us some more. LOL :) 3 hours to go before servers are up - maybe enough time to take a nap. I have so much stories to tell - about the Poison Yard, the Secret Temple and of course, the Capybara Plantation. It was my first time to be in such Super Fights, and of course, it was a really FUN one :) I'll blog again some other time when my brothers and sisters are not bugging me. And when little Viki stops giggling. Along with Tary, our family pet :) Love, R...

Hello! :) It's been a while since I last blogged. Mommy was busy grinding us all. We are now a level 17 family, with 10 characters in 2 barracks. So who are we now and what level are we? :) Raven (me) the fighter - Vet 28.xxxx% Matthieu the Musketeer - Vet 17.xxxx% Christianne the Scout - Vet 00.xxxx% Catherine the Summoner - Vet 30.xxxx% Irawan - 100 Seanne the Elementalist - 95 Christine the Wizard - 86 Viki - 88 Emilia Guilano - 40 Grace Bernelli - 40 Hahha. So there. But I won't be ranting and raving about my other brothers and sisters - instead, I'd be blogging about the baby in our family: VIKI! :) Remember that cute little boy I was telling you about? That is him. :) So cute! With his big brother Matthieu right there, Viki now serves as the youngest one in the Futel Family. Spoiled by their Mommy, seems like it ^^ He is now a part of our family: we lovingly call him Cedie behind his back, because he looks like that cartoon which Mommy used to see when she was a kid...

Mom's head is heating up >. Since the Colony War last night, our family has been experiencing login issues. ~~TIMELINE~~ May 25 Around 5pm - Irawan, Catherine & Seanne Grinding their way to become vets in Topolo Durga & Island of Fire Zone 2 Cannot enter Channel 1, but channel 2 works fine. Around 7pm - Irawan, Catherine & Seanne Buying & selling in City of Auch channel 2 tried changing channels but got stucked logged out, then tried logging in said that our account was logged in in another computer - it may take 3 minutes to log-in again. ~~waited patiently~~ Around 7:55pm - Raven, Christianne & Matthieu Tried going in City of Auch channel 1 got stuck in the barracks logged out and waited and waited. Tried logging in my brother Nutrients' family's account worked fine in both channel 1 & 2 *sighs deeply* During Colony War - 8PM to 10PM, Raven, Christianne & Matthieu warped to El Tejado Verde, changed channel to channel 1 - success! got the col...

I AM A VETERAN!!! As I type, I am a vet now. Matthieu and Christianne are close - 80++%. The Island of Fire really made grinding easy. Weehee :) Thanks, CrewOfAngels, Daemonic, Oliviera and those who were willing to squad us in Zone 1 & 2 :) Grinding love: The Island of Fire Crabs & Starfishes T hanks also to Jean, Angela & Rose CrewOfAngels for lending us their Elite Equipments XD Elite Kaladbolg & 2 Elite Mustang Spiders! Thanks, sisters :) Raven, Matthieu, Christianne, Jean, Angela and Rose Err, I forgot who these are but one of the families here is oread's family ahahaha Anyways, everyone's prepping up to colony war. Just now, Mom had us run around the New World to save warp points in key colonies. Teehee. Oh yeah. Mommy crafted our family's first Elite - an Elite Camisa de Soldado for me!!! :) I love you Mom!! You're the best!!! XD Next in line is an Elite Striform and Elite Laranja e Preto! Weehee!!! :0 Happy happy days ;) *now we're broke haha...

I do not know what has gotten into Mommy but she spent a LOT today, both in-game and in real life :D But I'd blog about the in-game instead. In chipping, enhancing, enchanting and shopping, we spent I guess around 60m or something like that. But then in the end, we still decided to stick to our former duds. HAHAHA. Why? Because those we bought from Andre Janzur, enhanced to +5 and given stats were err, lower than my current Knights of the Templar and Christianne's +6 Ring Mail or +5 Rescue Knights Suit. It was only Matthieu who changed his look - trashing the +5 Striform to a +5 Corsair Rosso :D He looks so formal. Haha. Oh yeah, and I had a bob haircut too!!!! WEEHEE!! Finally Mom, you decided to get me a new haircut and haircolor!!! XD So what did we do with those things? Mommy played photographer and we are her willing victims (ho-hum, Mom) so here are the results XD On Raven: +5 Gladiator's Armor and Gladiator's Hat On Christianne: +5 Capezzolo de Pericolo and Peric...

*Sigh* It's been sometime since I last blogged here because my sister and brother hoarded my blog. Hehe. Nope, Matty and Christianne - I still love you both. I'm really not a selfish sister >. shopping spree in MOA > MALL OF AUCH. HAHAHAHA >. +5 Knights of Templar, +5 Rescue Suit with 14 HP%and bought Matty new pistols - Claude Baudez Niques (2 of which was apparently broken by Vicente Rio the Enchantmentor, ho hum) But then Mommy's in-game twin sister, CrewOfAngels, gave her a +5 Ring Mail Def 15, Evasion 14. Me & CrewOfAngels' family ;) N ow even Christianne is confused. Weehee. But see this > the DR of the Ring Mail is higher than that of the rescue suit. Maybe cuz it's +6? :D This one? or Of course, now Christianne is using the +6 Ring Mail because of the higher AR and DEF but then don't you think the Rescue Suit looks much cuter? Haha. Whatever. Even I have some new duds c/o the ScofIeld family >. People in Granado Espada have been s...

Because Mommy doesn't have anything to do other than wait for her intership abroad, manage her online business and play Granado Esapada, she was topping up G-Points for us so we can use combat manuals. What are combat manuals? B asically, combat manuals are items which increase your EXP as you grind. There are three kinds of manuals: Beginner, Average and Expert. They increase your EXP by 50%, 80% or 100%, respectively. Are combat manuals expensive? E rr, it actually depends on your preference of expensive :) Teehee. No actually, they are not. With 1-day Combat Manuals, you get to grind all you want at a low price of only 200 GP for the Average and 320 GP for the Expert. Not bad for starters huh? How are they used? Y ou simply open up your Premium Items window, click to Misc, then double click your Combat Manual. You'd instantly have a buff of your manual. You click on the Combat Manual in Misc and you'd have the buff on top of your character's heads. Easy, peasy, righ...

My Mom's a feminist - and I guess it was passed on to us, her Granado babies. Whenever we're in Granado Espada, I'd always be pissed off whenever people call us pare, tol, dude et al whenever we pass by. Matthieu doesn't seem to mind it though - of course duh, he's a guy. A male musketeer. But Christianne and me? Spell irritated. That's why I was so happy - Christianne and Mom, included - when Ictus from the Hellraiders Faction messaged me when we were looking for an Acceleration ring. And she called Mom " MISS " instead of "PARE" or "SIR" Wee! Was Mom surprised. No she isn't looking for our dad - our dad is in Valle Verde. She was just looking for rings to give to Christianne the Scout. Mom's a spoiler. Since we got rich. Ho-hum. I guess Ictus read our family's profile when he was messaging Mommy. LOL. Anywho, since Mom doesn't do anything much, our family willbe joining Veya's Challenge to make a name &...

As all GE players know, logging in since last week was hell. See this: As we transport back to the Barracks, GE hangs up - then you'd ended up logging out, only to find out that you cannot login back...darn. Client says you'd wait up to 3 minutes but heck, my Mom tried waiting for almost 30 minutes to log back in :( Whatever happened? I cannot believe Mommy woke up this early to go to Adelina's Booty Search - last night's logging in was terrible. I guess everybody was trying to log in to Adelina and find her booty and use their free 20 searches. Kudos to IAHGames for giving us free searches! But obviously because of the influx of players playing ABS last night, everyone had errors...hehe. So Mommy decided to wake up early just so she could help us find Adelina's booty. The only downside is that Mom didn't get anything much - pft. A couple of Soul Crystals, 10 Hermes Potions, Elites etc etc. Sigh. No Prized Booty. So she used her brother's account - an...

Weehee! Finally! My mommy Tin made me a Blogspot account. Apparently, she erased her other blogspots so she can focus on my own Blog! Yay! My brothers and sisters will be so jealous! (Though I believe they'd be typing their own blogs using this account, ho-hum, so consider it a whole blog of the Futel Family.) Anyways, I would like to introduce myself. My name's Raven and I was born a fighter - literally. I started pioneering alone in the Cite de Reboldeux around December of 2007 in the server of Vivaldi and then I was joined by my brother Matthieu, the Musketeer and my sister, Christianne, the scout. Matthieu shoots while Christianne heals and I, of course, slashes. Teehee. I have tons of brothers and sisters in the barracks like Seanne the Elementalist, Christine the Wizard ...oh and we have some friends who are with us, as well. Grace Bernelli, Emilia Guilano and Catherine the Summoner. They help our family much and I consider them sisters as well :) Of course, Mom still...
