Games Progress
Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow: Completed the first quest, though I had to do it without cheats. Using the level up cheat got myself and the party from Level 1 to 7 though unfortuantely I wasn't allowed to cheat because after defeating the rat enemies, the game goes to the "can't read data" screen, forcing me to turn the game (and cheats) off and do it again.
At least the lab is now available though I'll need to find a way to set up Nintendo Wi-Fi because it went down years ago.
Might also see if the EXP cheats work when a dungeon doesn't have story cutscenes going on. The game doesn't seem to play nice with cheats on during story events.
