I though once you caught a specific familiar it wouldn't drop again, but I was wrong. I guess you could give everyone the same familiar if you wanted to.
I would love to know this as well.
I got real lucky in one fight, took on that sun monster and the turbandit and both ended up with hearts over their head. Caught them both!
Also a question as I just remembered in regards to Golden Grove:
There was a section where there was a sleeping robot, is that something we will revisit later in the game or is it a sidequest for much later on?
Damn I had forgotten about that...like that green chest in Ding Dong also...got to start writing those down although there is always the progress report where you see what % of stuff is left but if I remember right,it told me Grove was 100 %...mmmm
Yeah but the 100% stands for how much of the map you've uncovered for that area/dungeon. If you find all the chests and uncover the whole map, you'll get a little icon with a "Cleared!" next to the area name under the Dangerous Places section in that stone book looking thing.
The hundred percent is only for how much of the map you've walked through. If you get every single chest then it will say "Cleared" next to the name of the place.

Still think the game is great. Really takes me back to PS1/PS2 days of JRPG gaming.
In the Wizard's companion book in the Genus text summary, it will tell you what their favourite food is.
I'm only 3 hours in and it's already getting annoying lol.
Are there any JRPGs out there that use various music tracks when you're in normal battles?

This particular nightmare fight is annoying.
All it does it spam cruel rain. 
Though I don't have a lot of the new armors in the Perdida shop. I guess I'll level up more. I'm like 42.

I had that problem too, it took me a long time to do that. I had to get to level like level 42 just to beat it. I just learned to make everyone defend against rain and he drops 2 super orbs which you just use. It gets annoying but eventually I won.

Drops and you can make them too.
Enemies drop 'em like in every second encounter in the volcano area.
Assuming you're talking about stardrops and such, they're found and dropped by enemies. Jumbo drops can be made via alchemy or bought with chips in the casino.

Yeah, the main problem is the muck he drops on the floor and you can hardly move without getting stuck and damaged.
Except for Stardrops; I got out of the Volcano with more stones for initial transforms than I could ever need, and a whooping - TWO stardrops. Had to go back and grind for them when I realized what had happened.

I don't know. It's pretty old-school jRPG flavor. Maybe if it sells really good they will turn it into a movie.
Probably not? It's a JRPG after all.
I doubt it dude. It already basically is a movie.

Not really. Wait until the later half, you will see no animations and pretty much 0 voice acting. Its saved for very special scenes. Even then those are like non existent where I am. Hope you like reading.

Couple that with it's horribly low accuracy rate and you may as well halve that attack figure. It moves slow, attacks slow and has a low chance to hit. You basically gamble every time you send it out. Maybe one of it's final forms is better in that regard, but the first two kind of suck.

I grew up in the 90s where we had no voice acting and I all I did was read. No big deal =P

A lot of people gush over them simply because they have the highest evade score for a familiar. I don't really see the purpose of simply dodging everything if you aren't particularly good at anything else though. Oh, and it's moderately rare, so that "must" mean it's good! If you can find a gem that allows you to cast a revive trick, then I could see them being somewhat useful on the more difficult fights much later on when bosses hit like trucks.

Man, I'm loving this game - but if it has one glaring problem it's that "I'm a moron star mark" they have on by default for your map.
Now I understand why so many reviewers say the game is way too linear for an RPG - shut the star indicator off and the game changes dramatically.
(cause you actually have to use your brain and figure out what to do next)

agreed. turned that off in the first minute at motorville. havent needed it once, and its great to jsut run around and explore... the questing dialog a thte top of the screen is direct enough (wish that could be turned off)
thanks
Ah I see it now, thanks!
Once you've found the one you're looking for, yes it will be a random occurence if you'll be able to capture it.
any one looking for a damage dealer early in the game
check out Anglerfish from Ding Dong Well
it's got higher attack than your 3rd PC starter, with better defenses
and most importantly, slightly higher accuracy
best of all, it uses claws instead of hammer/axe/armor(which lowers accuracy)
farming tokos pushed my levels past lv50
and after all that, still no toko
i gave up and decided to farm ingredients instead
landed on plateau, saw a dinoceros
1/1
farm him outside of fairyland
smaller area to run and u don't gotta deal with the annoying hogs

I'm stilll trying to get me a Dinoceros. Might try to get a Toko for while. Exactly which island are they on? All I know is its Northeast of the landmass you begin the game on.

Alright, copy finally showed up in the mail. Anything I should know before diving in?
R2/L2
the small one with the arrow being the best spot, imo

Question on catching familiars. So I just beat the enemies up normally and when a heart appears use the song? How often do the hears appear though? Haven't seen one yet.
