Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
What was the third?
I've pretty much accepted playing any jrpg on easy if it uses any kind of active combat.

It's pretty much a translation of the Japanese Level-5 Books produced guide with art and translated interviews. Here's a sample if you want to see what the contents are like:

Crappy voice performances.
Cool, thanks!

Help! I'm on the first dungeon (well,
) and I'm getting my ass kicked in pretty much every fight. Well I'm losing more HP than I would like. You can only use one familiar at a time right? By the time my first guys attack animation is over I've taken a bunch of hits. Also my second guy sucks it seems, as he psyches up he gets hit a bunch. What am I doing wrong?
the sewers under Ding Dong Dell
Hmm maybe I should do this.

Anyone playing on easy? Is the combat still a challenge and enjoyable?
Trash mobs are easy which helps because they respawn so much, but I still have some trouble with bosses even on easy.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I wonder how they found the story though.
Ty very much for this!
Gives me something to read while downloading, at 27% and started yesterday >.<
Have you fed your familiars any treats? The monkey guy likes ice cream, and it raises his evasion. Also, consider guarding right when you bring a familiar out at the start of a battle if you didn't get the advantage, and also pay attention to the signs of enemies and your familiars. There's a weakness triangle. Sun > moon > star > sun ... So bring out your monkey to deal with sun dudes, use your mite to fight moon guys.

Ok thanks ill try all this. I fed my first guy every treat I found, but ill give ice cream to the lemur in the future.

That's interesting. I was wondering why only 2 of the 3 were mentioned and now I know why haha
Consider that person who voices Oliver is a kid, it's that bad.

Got mine from Gamefly a day earlier than I expected. Hopefully after two 14 hour days tonight and tomorrow I'll be in a great mood for curling up with this for the weekend.

They put a lot into the dub for sure. I mean they even remade the theme song of this game and had a British choir boy sing it, lol.

5 hours in and just completed everything in Ding Dong Dell. Game is still magical.
Gotta say, all these respawning enemies are making me worry I'll be overleveled. Should I be, or is the game still challenging regardless?

It would probably be a better idea to be overleveled than caught off guard after you enter a new area from what I've seen.
If you get too high, enemies will start running away on the field, so if that happens just quit fighting and it should even out. But yeah, if you're doing everything, you'll find yourself at quite an advantage, especially if you're battling optimally.

I was in the same boat as you. Was killing everything with relative ease. I then progressed to the next major area/field, and promptly got spanked, ie a difficulty spike. So i know already you arent overleveled, haha.

That's where I am. I'm about to move on to the next town. I'm only playing a couple hours per day because of work and everything, but I can't wait for the weekend when I can really make some headway. Love the game so far, though.

I have the guide. Haven't looked at it very much but seems really nice. Nearly 40 pages on the familiars, lots of info. Gonna take me a while to go through it.

I just realized something. This game is a good version of Quest 64.
In what way? I'm wracking my brain trying to find points of comparison and coming up short.

Playable character is a child mage, restricted area based battle system, stuff like that.

Is there any way to turn off the obnoxious notification that pops up on top of the screen constantly that tells you what your next objective is?
Nope, just don't stand still. Ever.

Just bought a copy, am I Super duper fresh like the rest of you fine folks?

Well, if we do get a sequel, it could be with an adult protagonist... would be interesting if all of the Familiars 'grew up' as well into fiercer forms.
I am. Most standard guys are pretty easy, but it's not like I'm always at full health. Bosses are challenging but nothing too rough.

The basic premise of the game kind of feels like a Ghibli style adaptation of The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub

Thanks for the response. I'm probably picking this up soon, and I'll stick with easy mode. I've never been good at JRPG's, but this game looks so fun and quite addicting.

Damn, game is so good. Whoever gives it 8/10 or lower must be shot.
"I'm Different yea I'm different!"
But yea I'm about 8 hours in now. I really like Oliver. It's been awhile since we had a protagonist so innocent.
I thought they weren't giving it out till 48 hours before release date? Or was that just UK Amazon?

I could see rating the game lowly if you were expecting a groundbreaking story or something that doesn't play like a 90s era j-rpg..
Personally, I'm enjoying the throwback to an older time with modern graphics and a fully orchestrated soundtrack.

I never really understood rating it for what other past games have done rather than what the game did. If it was fun, who cares if another game did it first. Just my opinions, though...
