Hint: NPC allies (including your accessory) has infinite ammo.
I'm quite fond of Barbara's Easy Blaster, its cons are apparent like the total ammo, but later on it's devastating. Extremely fast, precise bursts of damage from a close range makes an amazing anti-Abductor weapon.
As for elements, they're mostly covered during loading screens haha. I think in terms of weaknesses it goes fire > ice > lightning > will'o > fire. Each element has an effect if it builds up enough from attacks a specific part, as well.
Fire causes burning for ~30 seconds, dealing a bit of damage over time.
I think ice reduces the target's defense for ~30 seconds
Lightning causes a stun
Will'O causes a burst of damage
Mumble grumble first CODE 2 mission.
Okay, how can I save all three helpless citizens? I get 2 fine, but since I can't run with these lazy bastards in my arms, I always fall short of snagging the third one, failing the mission. Tried three times, same result. Ready to flip a table over this nonsense.

You can tell your accessory to carry citizens (tap the screen to give orders to your accessory).
I give the order to my accessory to pick up the citizens and I just cover them till they get to the extraction point.
Focus entirely on the citizens and also try giving commands. You can command your Accessory to carry a citizen. If you have other AI with you, the command screen has a second page for your team, the bottom right command in a citizen rescue mission is to protect citizens and it'll make the AI focus on them.
Edit: Too slow.

Heh. Well that's one way to do it.
I think I picked a few of those up - will try them out.
No wonder - I always end up ignoring loading screens
. Is there anywhere that logs elemental weakness information in game then? I don't think there's a bestiary.No wonder - I always end up ignoring loading screens
Don't think so.
I think standard artificial Abductors, orange ones, are Will'O and thus resist Will'O and are weak to Lightning.
The other artificial ones are named and color coded by the element they are and thus resist.
Ramosa is Lightning, Paradoxa is Ice, Dionaea is Fire and Peltatum is Will'O. I don't know if their variants share their elements or not.

IGN gave it an 8 though.
They should learn to play the game since their main complaint are vita's controls and mission taking forever (that means you just suck at this game)
I can't say the complaints about the controls are valid. They are straightforward.

Just got to CODE 3, I'm really having a blast with this game and I still haven't touched the online portion yet.
Did they remove the Accessory's voice customization option? I know it was only meant for Japanese, but it looked like an interesting feature :/
Here's my sinner so far

If it's any consolation, the top comments are calling out the reviewer for only playing up until code 3/4 and never touched the multiplayer elements.
This review is very disappointing, I usually love Eurogamer for it's more in depth than average reviews, this is not one of them. I can't give any less fucks about the score, but this review is lazy and obviously written to pass a deadline instead of taking it seriously.
Yeah, it was removed =/ Really wish there was a way to let us have it and call up the JP keyboard to allow proper input.
Even if that would be difficult to use or pointless to a lot of people in the market, it's a completely optional feature that would be interesting to play around with.
As an aside, it'd be nice if some day things are truly region-free lol. Sure, we can play other region games on the vita, but unless we use a JP account we can't get a JP game's DLC from PSN =/ And juggling accounts on Vita sucks x.x

IIRC Vita was friendlier with multi accounts until update 1.80. Alas I got mine after it came out.
Are these claims valid? That is practically just past the tutorial of the game.

It's a shame, what are the chances of it being patched in? The voice synthesizer is still there since it gets used by the Accessories, but I still think it's unlikely :/
And yeah, switching regions is quite bothersome and it's honestly one of my main gripes with the Vita.

Well, of course I'm coming from a position of a negative bias but it does sound like it, the way he summarized the gameplay segments sounds like he played through a few fights and went into the character customization screen and gave up afterwards. He did mention that this game is just not his cup of tea period, so there is that.
Personally, I was meh on the game until the

In a way this game reminds me of Soul Sacrifice in terms of satisfaction, I god SS through PS+ and this because I really would like some new physical games for my Vita it's been dead for so long and I'm pleasant surprised, regardless of it's shortcomings, FW is one of the prettiest games I've seen on Vita.

Thought this may be of relevance to FW fans here, a nendoroid has been revealed for Beatrice Lily Anastasi. Very cute!
I've had mine since launch. 1.80 made it so you can only have one account per card. Previously, you didn't HAVE to format the card after going through the other nonsense.
I have two cards, my smaller one is linked to a JP account. But going through the other nonsense and startup stuff as well as screwing up my folders and backgrounds makes it unappealing. Haven't switched around since soon after PSO2 was made compatible.
It'd be great if the store was universal, even if it locked you out of other regions by default. Like, what if the store was like "Oh, I see you're playing the JP version of Freedom Wars, here let's give you access to that section of the store". Then I'd be like "Sweet, thanks PSN, now I can access content for the game I bought!" And everything would be awesome.
Sadly we may never live in that world =( But at least we can play other region games on Vita unlike 3DS x.x
I think it's from the two launchers on its back but I'm not 100%.

Well, considering the situation of 3DS I think PS3/Vita users are very lucky indeed.
But I agree, this one card per account thing is dumb, not to mention the cumbersome back up process that the Vita has, all for the sake of anti piracy, I think the memory cards being proprietary is also one of the reasons. The Vita is in fact one of the worst electronics I've used regarding backup and transfers. It took a good while back when I had a 4GB card with a few small games on it, god knows what would happen if I bite in and upgrade my 16GB card (12 gigs of games).
64GB please come over to NA plz.
Shame. I can understand why they would remove it though. It's really fun to customise your ACC. It can actually take in English input, but of course it won't read it with perfect English and will still break words down to the Japanese alphabets IIRC.
How are you guys getting screenshots?
I just got to Code 5. I have a "Special Request" mission.... It had maxed stars in difficulty but I tried it any way. I had to defeat two white coloured, extremely aggressive
thingies. Plus an ever spawning legion of bots and sinners. I managed to kill one abductor before finally timing out. -_-'
Kind of disheartening, though I guess I am skipping ahead quite a bit in terms of difficulty spikes.
Any tips on what I should prioritise in terms of what rights I should reclaim? So far I've been going with
I'm uncertain where, when or if I should even bother to upgrade my companion AI's gear. How much difference does it make? I notice they tend to die pretty quickly these last few missions.

- Keep X Rarity items from missions
- Thorn Upgrade
- Weapons Facility
- Augments
- Everything else. (Including other facility upgrades)

PS button + Start
I then use the Flickr app to upload them, but you can also transfer them on a PC and upload them wherever you want

Does this work on all games?
It begins.
Luckily I don't fancy nendoroids, so my wallet is safe for now.
Mostly, aye.

Of all the games I tried, yes. Doesn't work on most (if not all) demos and PS1/PSP classics though

Some (very few) PS1 classics have screenshot feature in the menu you get by long-pressing the ps button.

Yeah, the "most" was referring to that as well

I'm not even a figures collector or anything, but this has to be one of the cutest ones out there LOL.
Yes, up to CODE 3 the Italian localization seems mostly fine, I hope it won't get worse
Honestly i don't remember a bad Italian localization(dubs on the other hand... How to forget Clive Barker's Jericho? Lol).
I heard that Tales of Hearts R English localization is not really good, i bet the Italian one will be better

Bethesda games (TES and Fallout) would like to have a word with you, those are full of errors
As far as Vita titles go though I have to agree, all the games I played had great localization

If there is one and it was based off of the English script which usually happens with FIGS titles, you would wish there wasnt a version.

Also, I've finally reached Code 4 (I've been doing a lot of grinding to make various pretty weapons, lol) - do you start getting a lot more clothing designs later on (I'm getting bored with the military chic) or does it keep to the one outfit (3 variations) per Code?
Sentence reduced to zero, time for a vacation!
It's for mobility, obviously.
One outfit per CODE except CODE 8 which is four(or 5/6 if you count reducing sentence to 0)

Too bad there aren't any On High maps. It'd be great if they could work those into part of the single player story in a re-release version.
Guess it's time for the post game grind. I was basically carried by my team for CODEs 6 and 7.
I had hope for a cool ending sequence when Carlos back stabbed me. Instead, NOPE! The game lets you walk through a corridor three times before pulling some deus ex machina followed by flying off into the sunset on a T-Type. I don't know what I was expecting but I feel somewhat put off by this.
