Surprisingly I forgot to mention the Persona PSP edition. What troubling you there? Edit: I just read your message so yeah... Okay on the menu screen where you see ur stats you'll see an option called a "Grow Book", open that and you'll see the system on how they "level up" so to speak. Press Triangle Button to open it up if I'm recalling it correctly. (I actually would remember more if I was playing it right now but it was either triangle button or select) I did say one will rage about how that's done, but as you get used to it you'll feel comfortable soon enough.

Why did this sell it to me..? damn you sakuya... damn you!

Chances are I'll be getting it as it looks quite entertaining. Heck it's a great contrast to the rather dismal folks I see as I await for the train to head towards work.

I don't even... Hmm... Not bad. "Drill Action Role Playing Game" they say.

read my ninja edit

Yeah I could have mentioned CC if just RPGs in general were requested. I don't recall CC ever being turn based. I will second though in Crisis Core being good. And I just noticed Arek just asking about rpgs in general not just turn based... Would count..? Never played any of them before so...

Oh please JRPGs in particular as well as western varieties get away with almost anything. Why even the Messiah played a role in an rpg. I will say though all of the PSP rpgs are mixed bags imo. For one thing, some do find VP's combat rather difficult, YU's combat being tedious at times if you're not ready surrounding certain cards, Disgaea's emphasizing on over the top assaults, Mana Khemia's Alchemy gimmick being the basis of nearly everything within its world which in this case actually makes sense... Jeanne D'Arc's probably the only "normal" one in that it gives its reinterpretation of the woman as well as certain events in a fun game.

- assuming you've never played it or would like to have a portable edition anyways. - at the very least if you've NEVER played one of them before. -link somewhat of a spoiler still though pretty good fight. (supposedly it's one of the easier fights. Found it to be of a decent challenge imo. I blame it on being ill prepared though on my part )

I did say I didn't know ya well enough I tried nonetheless.

Don't know ya well enough as I do of the others but why should that stop me? Happy Birthday~! Have a wandering ghost ship on me.

Not bad, but I have to say There are other quite tracks out there.However I'm getting off the subject; SMT generally tends to be much grimmer in respect towards comparisons to its offshoots/spin-offs such as Persona and Devil Summoner.

wtf I thought he died and Dick Grayson was taking up the batsuit... I don't even... This should be good.

It's an under-rated yet enjoyable game imo; not to mention it's a rather nishe game. Beyond doujin games, you can't get more nishe than when it comes to commercial games.I pretty much would call it a mash up game that have "iconic" characters such as "Disgaea"'s Etna and Prinny fighting alongside "Dark Stalkers" characters such as Felicia, Morrigan, Jedah among a couple of other characters from other games I don't even recognize a couple of characters from some of the other games (Really Capcom I know of your generosity with your ip but wow, ) Seriously though this game is a huge hit or miss for anybody. You will either love it or hate it; especially if you've never played games from the likes of NIS. I actually would weigh against getting it if you're not used to nishe games that rarely push the graphical strength of current systems beyond PS2 standards (sometimes even bordering PS1 standards on certain static backgrounds for reason unknown to myself). In the combat segments you'll find yourself wondering why are the enemies either sprite animated ones, cg modeled ones, or even a combination of both. I've wondered about that too... However past all that I have to say I've enjoyed playing it and am glad to have it part of my PS3 library. Aside from the fan service, (whether it was avoidable or not is debatable, unless ya don't give a shit as it's for fun), the DLC that tries to nickel & dime you (The free ones are all that you should ever really bother getting I wouldn't bother with the charging ones imo), The game can be very cruel yet rewarding with its challenges and difficulty. Essentially as most games of similar vein (Disgaea's inclusion, if only in its' characters, should be a huge red flag on this part) emphasizes on grandiose attacks, combos, spells, spell combos, ex-combos etc. Simply go DBZ/Fist of the North Star/Fist of an Angry God experiencing a GOD-TIERed ROID RAGE on the enemies. Beats playing the next iteration of Madden/NBA/perhaps even Final Fantasy (at times and I love playing FF games) if you ask me...

I will say this, knockback is both your greatest friend and yet one of the biggest pain in the ass. On one hand it allows you a greater chance to pull off combos, but at the same time the enemy can do that too. Some will even string them against you if you're not careful. Also once you discovered how you level up and rage about it, as you get used to it you find yourself comfortable. Oh do try to finish certain things with the best possible result; trust me on that it's worth it to get one of the best endings

, not the same video but I believe both are the same idea...edit* Here try this one --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzKmGTVmqJs

If that's the case, there is that has similar game play but (arguably) gives greater freedom on your strategy. I will say though in that link that fight was made harder by placing 3 of the same god damned creature rather than just 1 on the PSP version. That motherfucker not only stripped you of being able to use items but did status effects disabling special skills but also threw some of the strongest elemental attacks in the entire game. Took me nearly half an hour to finally finish that fight with some losses. Overall I believe the PSP version to be more difficult than the original ps2 verion.

I just remembered something during a recent grindan session on D3... atmuh have you played before haven't you? If not it's been available on the PSP for a good while now.

Why would you mash buttons on those games..? With the exception of perhaps FF12 (idk I did at one point or another) I can't recall anything where you're literally trying to crush buttons in vain to make something happen as say, Bayonetta/Street Fighter/Mario's Party games... Big difference between simply pressing the button and trying the crush them on the game pad dude...

So wait what do you have still till the 360's fixed?

Could have been worse though, the disc that had been playing in it could be scratched up to hell. It was not scratched up right atmuh?
