Fuck story, put Soejima on everything.
Problem. Solved.
.
P4A figures are good news. I hope Narukami and Aigis are on the list.
I think it's pretty hard to come by now, yeah. The older Liz figure CJ posted is $1,000+ on Amazon right now.

Made this a while back:
This is the one game I wish that Ken was in for that reason.
What we wouldn't all give to beat the shit out of him for the problems he caused in Persona 3.... of course then Altus would rewrite his character to somehow be redeeming if he was in so meh.
Dantis, Ni No Kuni's combat system will make you rage and stop playing it. I promise.
It's not so bad at first but near the end? Holy shit, if you have a 'Psyche Up' familiar instead of defend or evade, you're fucked constantly. You only have a short window to defend, and the AI takes SO long to switch familiars. Not to mention sometimes you'll set them on attack and they'll just keep backing up. And other times when you can't get around other enemies.
Games combat turns infuriating on boss fights and certain mobs.

I've already sent it back. Shame, because I loved everything besides actually playing it.
Seems to have been my complaint with the demo, and why I haven't rushed out to rent it. >_>;
It doesn't get much better, and the music's fine, but there's not a lot of it. Or they don't use enough of it.
Also, in Pokemon you level up more and get excited when you get something cool like Flame Wheel. There's nothing really that cool that I found from getting higher leveled monsters in Ni No Kuni. Like, the coolest ability I got was a single target physical that did like 500 damage.

If you have the ability to play it, FES.
P3P is essentially the same game, but a lot of the presentation is missing. No animated cutscenes, no outside exploring (replaced by static imaging and visual novel like due to the PSP's hardware).
FES then P3P. Though I heard FES has some technical issues.
FES.
As a side-note, I need to replay through P3P.
I find it really weird that other companies don't use Press Turn or One More ripoffs.
Smeone said save-file problems and that creeped me out. Has anyone ever had a problem with that?
Yup, I have. Make multiple saves, and pay attention to the message in case it says "Save Failed."
Ditto. Battle system is garbage. Like a college student tried to copy FFXII, but didn't have a clue what they're doing.

So good
Is that an actual game or just that picture of fanart?

Yup, it hit me halfway through the game. Felt bad man

I never had any save file issues in P3FES. I did get annoyed when there is that minute-long freeze during the September full moon. I restarted it a few times and then I just googled the problem and all you have to do is wait until it's over.
But P3P just seems more accessible.

The aftermarket - crusher of dreams.
I'll just hope the P4U Mitsuru will be cheaper and I'll hopefully be able to get it at some point
my wallet, please just die for me
Yes. It works too. I'm a fan of Ghibli myself, and it really is tremendously charming.
Strip away all that though, and you have a generic Level 5 JRPG.
I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty nail-biting surviving 8 turns in a row of that with the MC surviving by 1-8 HP every time WITH a Defense buff on. I eventually ran out of full HP items though, lol.
Didn't help that it did more damage than Yukiko has HP. ._. I really don't wanna grind on Hands for EXP, but it seems inevitable in this situation since it's Almighty damage.
Pretty sure it's mainly because it's a console JRPG.

My MC is Level 51 at 420 HP and survived for a few rounds with only single digit HP left, until it eventually did him in. Oddly enough, Naoto at 59 with 408 HP always survived with double digits. Yukiko at 51/361 died every round though. >_>
I'm playing on V. Hard, so I'm never gonna do that much damage to them unless I look for ones in Yukiko's Castle, haha. It's part of why the thought of grinding on them is unappealing, they don't give enough experience for guaranteed level-ups.
Normally I'm all for being as under-leveled as possible, but this is rough.
It's undoubtedly because of Ghibli's involvement. Doesn't hold me though as it's Ghibli in baby mode. I'm not really a fan of the Ponyo style. If they and Level-5 wanna do something closer to Kiki or Mononoke with teenagers, I'll be there day one.
Yeah, those are from Wonder Festival 2013 going on this weekend. Here's the new Labby!
That's certainly part of the appeal, and for those who don't have much interest in modern RPG's, I can see how it scratches a particular itch.
I'm certainly playing it for a multitude of reasons, none of which are the battle system! Thought it definitely becomes more interesting in the latter half.
I agree. I kinda want the current one cause of this though...
Love me that armor visor.
Choice made! Let's see if I can juggle this along with PAX east money.
It's too busty. I wouldn't really like a model that takes liberties with a character design.

Ugh, what an awful character.
If you really don't feel like it, play ZoE2 at the very least. It's really good.

Agreed, ZoE2 is a great game. However, this is where the HD port has it's biggest flaw, an inconsistent framerate. I was all set to trade in my PS2 disc but the framerate problem kinda rubbed me the wrong way. If you haven't played it before, it won't bother you as much as if you did, let me just put it that way. It's still a fun game, but expect some choppy waters in the port.
Yeah, the choppy framerate is why I didn't bother with the collection. Honestly though, seeing how another certain Konami product fared (Silent Hill HD), I'm glad that it's at least playable to people picking it up for the first time.
It's cooler to not like something than it is to like it. It makes you mostly infallible.
