-Story is ok, nothing real groundbreaking.
-Take Easy mode along with Saber or archer if you want an easier time.
-Just take archer if you wanna bro it out. But know that Rin will get that important alone time in the end anyway, no matter who you pick.
-All enemies are on the map, the encounters aren't as easy to dodge as say Persona 3 but they can still be avoided.
-Dungeon map, impossible to get lost with the ability to display the whole area in front of your screen.
Also know that you'll be grinding, a lot, just the way the game is played.
Without skipping the text and what not, about 20-30 minutes in if you're on the slow side.Ken said:

Why does this game feel so much like Persona?

Reading some forum, someone mention that agility also affect who use the skill first. So if your servant have ability to block a enemy skill, you will need some agility since you need to cast the shield before they attack.

Puff, losing in elimination is nothing, at least you can retry right away. Try grinding for 20 min just to lose in the end of the dungeon cause I used the wrong healing item.

On round 6 currently, I feel that the game got easier after caster learned spell boost. Spell boost -> any attack spell, 75% life gone. On rare monster or 3 round enemy servant encounter I just cast 6 spells in all 3 rounds to "skip" it.

That hapenned to me ..i grinded for 30 minutes before making the wrong decision in an uncharted territory ---> GAME OVER
Because it really feels like it. School life -> time passing ( daytime evening ect ect ) -> dongeon exploring -> extra turns during battleSpaceBridge said:
how do you do that ? Is it a skill i'm missing or something ?tiltnkirby said:

Okay, so, I'm digging the hell out of this so far, but one thing is driving me up the wall: where the hell is the last "hidden area"/treasure chest on Floor 2 of the First Sea? I found literally everything else, meaning the "book room" and the long spiral area with the bees (and hit level 10 on Caster before fighting Shinji in the process, which I suspect means I'm going to chump him) but the summary is telling me I'm missing 2% of the map and it's driving me insane.
Anyway, awesome game so far, loving it far more than I thought I would.

Excellent, thanks gang. Still forgot to get the last treasure but oh well. :x
Also, out of curiosity:
Also, "stuns" make the enemy skip a single battle command, right? Does this throw your commands out of sync too or how does that work?
Also, out of curiosity:
is it possible to deny Shinji and Drake all the treasure on the last day? I got three pieces which was simple enough, but I don't really see how it's possible to get all five since he starts out in front of you and seems to run a bit faster.

I actually beat Drake without understanding this exactly. :x If it works the way I think it does though, holy shit Caster is powerful once you level her somewhat.

Yeah, Stun removes their next move and gives you free reign to kick their ass for that period move. I suggest leveling Caster quite a bit in or before the fourth week.SpaceDrake said:

@spacedrake.
i don't think that's possible ..he is faster at running and has an head start ..
As long as you've opened the door on teh previous days , 3 is the maximum .anymore isn't possible .unless i've missed something else from the game

Has anyone gotten Caster's matrix level to E? I'm on the 7th week, 3rd day. From what I've read, this is when you're supposed to get it.
I didn't try progressing past this day yet, so I don't know if it's supposed to be triggered through the room before or after going through part of the arena. I just would like to know since I'm OCD.

Okay, I know linking tropes is kind of passe at this point, but holy fuck, the Interface Screw at the start of week 3 is epic. Like Batman Arkham Asylum epic. It literally made me yell at my PSP, it was hilarious in retrospect.
Anyway, game still rules. Third week looks interesting too.
"DEAD END? WHAT, HOW, I BEAT DAN, WHERE DID I SCREW UP? OH GOD CAN YOU GET ONE ANSWER THERE WRONG AND DIE OR JESUS CHRIST WHY... oh. OH. HOLY SHIT CASTER AND RIN THANKS. Also Rin you're kind of a jerk but that's okay because it isn't game over thank god."

OP updated with Aksys Store listing and a difficulty clarification for each servant! I'll probably expand on the battle system portion with tips to avoid getting hit later if I remember to take screenshots one of these times.
Now to wait for USPS to see if they deliver my Fate Limited Edition from the Aksys store today!

I caved in, only(okay, primarily) because I love Aksys. And I want Shikigami IV whenever it's made.
When Persona 2 goes down, this is next.

I want Castle of Shikigami IV personally too, if it ever gets made XD Fumiko <3
I just beat Persona 2 Innocent Sin PSP a few weekends ago clocking in at 100+ hrs @_@ (cuz I'm OCD completionist), so hopefully you'll get through it soon
Have fun with Fate/EXTRA!

^^Ah yes, I remember that entire sequence well. Some of my finest work. Rin and Caster were my two favorite characters to write, though Archer does have his moments. Obviously, no one has reached my all-time favorite line, yet...

It wouldn't happen to be the one about caster bitching about how caster is the worst class, would it?

I'm going to redo my guess and say the whole Temp contract part.

Nope. It's an Archer line. I thought it encapsulated his personality perfectly.
A compilation of reviews thus far, if anyone wanted them in a nice neat package/thread XD

Just started today and got to Week 2. I'm enjoying this game quite a bit! I like the battle system more than I thought I would. Since most of the enemies don't just regurgitate attack patterns but instead recycle fragments of patterns you have to do some educated guesswork, which is an inherently flawed mechanic but is still keeping me engrossed nonetheless. Although, losing all your dungeon progress to a new enemy and some bad luck is... frustrating to say the least.
The writing doesn't assume the player is stupid; I appreciate that. Self-aware writing that isn't constantly wry is a nice change of pace. Even though there are a few cutout characters (Shinji) I like the more nuanced approach taken with several of the others (
). The whole
opening was kind of neat too. And that jazzy electro soundtrack is pretty consistently above average... love the boss music.
So... good work Aksys! And thanks so much for bringing this over!

I just finished Caster in Normal on my first plan through, I loved Fate/Stay Night, this is a great addition for the series. Going to try other servant, but on easy this time -.-
I love caster so freaking much. (Week 1 or 2 minor spoiler caster)
I love how often she break the 4th wall.
In the last 2 week, the game became a cake walk, all monster 1 hit kills. The boss are just a few cast away from their lengthy doom speech. Their skill and final attack are basically mana potion for caster. I finished the game at level
.
The ending is nice, but are there multiple endings beside some minor changes(such your servant)?
Do male/female have totally different conversation with the same servant? Or it just some minor changes?
-------------------------------------
Did you talk to Caster everyday in your room? There is a huge thread in gamefaqs about this, seems like that if you miss some conversation, or selected the wrong choices, you won't unlock matrix level to E.

Anyone got the joke when caster showing her affection for the MC, and one of the answer to the question is "But the "T" regulation". T regulation stand for the game rating, somehow I wish this is AO game like Fate/Stay Night

There is a thread on gamefaqs, but they haven't progressed since the day I asked. None of them really have a clue. I started over anyways, because I figure I must've made a wrong choice somewhere, and I believe I have something more reliable than their board now.kiunchbb said:
Curious though, did you get her matrix to E?

Does getting your servant's matrix to E just fill out all the information or is there some bonus associated with it as well?
