play it if you're a masochist.
The main difference is that all the enemies in that mode are 30 levels higher than normal, so if you're not familiar with the controls and how combat works you'll most likely get one-shotted by everything

Hmmm, anyone know where Emina runs off to after the terrace scene? Can't find her lol
Eh I forget the name of the modes
But regardless I don't think the highest difficulty level is even unlocked right away. At the start you just have Beginner, Normal, and all enemies + 30 levels

You can only find her in the last 6 hours of every day.
If you met Kazusa, he's the same.
Oh okay. Then yeah, the hard mode is just +30 levels.
I'm playing through Agito difficulty as well on my first run. It's frustrating because the majority of deaths are from how terrible the camera is because you can't see stray bullets easily but it's still manageable. From what I've played so far (up to Chapter 4), the hardest part is the prologue.

Just got to chapter 5 and man the story missions are fun! Love the interactions between characters in this game, too!

It seems the combat, so far at the very least (I am still at early Chapter 2), feels a bit button mashy. And the camera spins way too fast and erratically... this is going to take a bit of time to getting used to.
I already have in mind 6 people that I want to main at this point, and to make it balanced, it's 3 guys 3 girls... let see how it goes.

You really shouldn't be button mashy, it's an easy way of getting hit by other enemies.
There are better ways of DPSing enemies if you want to go that route (try learning abilities for that).

is that a metaphor or the name of a place in the game?
What's your problem specifically?
Chapter 8 dungeon, I made my way through just entering purple portals at random. Good stuff.

Oh okay, yeah =X, after you complete the objective you should be ale to find your way relatively easy. But yeah, if you lost your way just go randomly =P

Bit confused about magic.. in combat it says Ace has Blizzard and Cure available to him, but when I check his equipment it says Blizzara and Cura.
Can anyone explain this to me?

You have the hold the cast button down to charge it. It got me at first too. Didn't realize until Chapter 6 what the mechanic was.
Yeah seems like the game is made much more easy in the HD collection, and it sounds like levelling up is easier too which sucks a bit considering how long it takes to level in the PSP version at times.
Also I never knew this.
Hold down the magic button and it will change.

There's been one Cave to go to and the other I can't do yet. What other side content is there?

Probably the same thing that happened with the mainline series. They won't be connected at all.

Start up Newgame+. After the first two missions, all the missions will be new.

I haven't really found the need to grind in this game so far.
Well rumor is that they were bringing this over with the original PSP release and they were in prodction of translating it and dubbing it but they ended up stopping it

In really struggling on the factory infiltration mission. I have around 6 characters total left....
The final section before the boss with the magitek armours. I have no problem killing them but have trouble killing the guards before they enter the next suit.
I thought fuck it and used my summon to wipe em all out but then I got one shotted against the boss and since I already used the summon I had no chance of beating it.

Man I'm at Chapter 3 and I just did the first Expert Trial. Holy shit that was tough :/
I keep messing up when Militesi is spamming those Collusi machines to your Dominion. At that point it's pretty much a checkmate. Killed a few characters trying to infiltrate the base. I finally got it on my second try though. The final boss wasn't so tough but damn that Regen. I actually think I suck at this game, lol

What is with this game and blocking recordings? Speaking to ace during the start of Chapter 3, he has two text boxes with one lyric in one of them and the game is like "Nope, can't record that shit!" then turns back on immediately after the conversation is done.

So what's the best thing to do in between missions? I just got to the part where I can go outside the academy in between mission days. What should I be doing?

You know whats amazing is this is the first time in forever that I've actually gone around and talked to everyone all the time. If the voice acting is terrible (oddly enough its getting better as the game goes on..) and the localization can be touchy during cut scenes...the text in the game is wonderfully done.
From the entries in the Crystarium, to the TONs of NPCs in the game, they really lend character and personality to the world of Orience. I would truly recommend if you're having issues connecting with the narrative that you take the time to talk it out!

I pretty much do this in all games (sort of OCD with me), but I agree that this really does breath life into the game. There's some fun little things that you could miss out on too such as getting the l'cie crystal in Rokol (I think it was Rokol).

Seems like I get motion sickness every time I play this. Only turning the camera very slowly and only when the character stands still helps a bit, but eventually the headache creeps in.
I'd like to play this more but not sure if it's worth the pain and nausea.

Not only that, there are quite a few quests and items/lore that you are only able to obtain via just talking to people. I was surprised how often I was glad I took the time to talk with all NPCs in a newly rescued town led to awesome rewards and otherwise hidden quests.
Damn .

If you hate yourself, go ahead and do the Expert Trials your first playthrough.
The graphics were never going to be super amazing. There's only so much they could do with a PSP base and the amount of budget and time they were given.

Which is why they should have put it on the motherfucking VITA
It should have been a Vita launch title back in 2012.

I think SE wanted the game to sell decently.(I have a vita and vita tv and support it all the time but yeah lets be serious Vita doesnt get good numbers in sales unless you're persona )
I've always wondered what FFX hd vita collection sold in the west.
