You gotta level up on the offline mode for Decorations and the food upgrades, which are pretty important. At least the difficulty of the offline mode is a joke.
And yes the EO3 shopkeeper is love.
Well, I beat Persona Q last night, Risky mode, 90 hours, level 78 party. Took two tries to beat final boss. Not as good as a real EO game but still a great game. Atmosphere and music are fantastic. The BGM in the final dungeon especially is soooo good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHZgt-KiiAs
Now I will have some more time for MH4.
