They can block, but counters are unique for Clerics, yes.
Edit: Devil Hair Band get. Now I'm looking the part!
Cleric Only.

problem i have with the hammersmith is that you can't cancel out of the long windup moves, which makes the class quite difficult.
I could continue on for the night, but I think I'll take a break and start up AC:L. If I get bored, I'll just hop back and murder more porings.
Just watched the IGN review. The only mechanics the reviewer ever mentions are staples of Monster Hunter style games (not leveling while fighting), and fills the rest of the dead space with mindless complaining... but never complains about anything specific.
Now I remember why I don't visit IGN.

You only need to finish 2-3 to unlock class changing. Swordfighter is so much easier than hunter that it's not even funny.Having trouble with 2-2, decided to try the Extra Quest...Wrecked the bear boss.Wolves are quick I guess.
E: Damnit, I keep forgetting that the instruction manuals are ON THE CART. Lots of very useful info in there.
I got through 2-2 as a hunter by spamming the machine gun attack someone else mentioned earlier and keeping my back to the wall. 2-3 is much easier than 2-2 (kill a bunch of birds IIRC).

Assassin....soooo good. Coming from the hunter it feels like a revelation.
Be one with the square button. As a Sin, you pretty much have to learn all the enemy tells and dodge when needed, since you can't guard at all.

Yeah, I managed to finish it. I was being careless haha. Hunter is still my favorite. <3
I tried Hammersmith on the extra quest with the bear. It's funny how much stronger that class is over Hunter. The wind up and delay make it a tough class - bear went down no issues, though.
I'm sticking with Hunter though, haha.

I think this can be said about every class.
Well, not every class has to get up close and personal to every enemy with no method of damage reduction but dodging. :V (Yes I know mages have close attacks, but that's not ALL they do.)
This is Glast Heim alright.

Dodging still seems like the most efficient way though for pretty much all classes.
All I'm saying is, Swordies, Hammers and Clerics can take a hit or two. If I get careless, I'm dead! I'm at chapter 5 and have a whoopin' 50 DEF, after all.

What in the name of God And Jesus do you have to do to get the Orc King to drop a breastplate? Is it really totally random? How in the world am I supposed to upgrade my mace otherwise, I've killed the dumb bastard like four times already.
You break his breastplate, silly. Just smack him from the front (in the air or on the ground) and it'll break eventually.

Did so. No drop.
Weird. I just tried it and I got it just fine. Did you grab the blue pick-up orb right after it broke?
As far as I can tell, breaking boss parts is a near-guaranteed drop.
The drop rates in this game are very generous... heck, I killed the Bird Boss, and he drop his Card... TWICE! At the same time! Wouldn't even think it possible!
Thank Heaven for no 0.01% Drop chance!
Broken Parts dropping the proper item does seem to be pretty much 100% guarenteed. The hardest part then becomes not killing the enemy before you've broken off the desired part...

Those screenshots look great, urge to get this game is rising!
I don't know if I should use the $20 back on Nov 7 towards this game or towards R&C. I've never played one of the hunting games, but this looks like fun.

Yeah, this game does feel like your phantasy star or w/e, but with rigged private server rates and what not
When do you start getting access to better hp pots though?
Been using the dinky starter ones, and I need to use up most my bag's to heal me up

Gravity / GungHo decided to make their own Private Server hack... haha.
Better potions can be unlocked by doing certain free quest, I think? I know I unlocked some between Chapters 2 and early 3.
Also note that you can Turn on Dainsleif, do a good combo that gets you health, and then tap the screen again to turn DS OFF. A good way to save on potions, and stuff in some strong damage.
I'm already scheming.

Oh didn't know it could manually turn off. Interesting.
Game isn't great at explaining like anything.
Heh, I used to take screens of everything in the early (Int'l Server) Days of RO... your screens remind me of such times. Everyone partying at the end of a quest, awkward closeup and camera-goof screens of oddities...

Yeah, but it kinda fits the arcadey nature. SO many games now-a-days explain everything twice-over at every second, that I'm actually happy that a game basically told me "PLAY ME!" and... that's it.

In the quest where you get the ability it does say you can turn it on or off. Read everything don't skim through
also at your room you can review tips by going up to the piece of paper on the wallIm desperate to play this game and can not wait for a UK release, if I download it from the US store on my PS3 and copy it across to my vita via my UK account on the PS3 will it work ok? Or will have to do some jiggery pokery with the vitas account settings?
I realise I could import from the US but that would take ages and the prices on fleabay are extortionate at the mo.
Many thanks in advance for your anticipated help with my stupid question that probably has been asked many times before

I don't believe this will work, because I think you can only transfer / use a file on the Vita, from the account you DLed it with...
To test it, though, try DLing a free demo or such from the US, and then trying playing it on your EU Vita Account?
Good thinking batman, I hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a bash tonight. Thank you very much mate.

Few questions I still don't seem to know the answer to...
1) Why are some missions different color on the screen during mission selection? I thought it was based on difficulty, but 2* and above are all the same color...
2) What are the impacts of the different gems? I know red raises DS meter, certain ones give very temporary stat boosts, but some appear to do nothing...
3) The little necklace/pendant in the bottom corner...That's your tension meter, right? What does it do? When you enter DS, it goes
4) What do the various runes due on weapons? I have some that are bronze, silver, and gold in color on my equipment selection screen. These each have different runes associated with them. Not sure what the deal is there yet, haha.

It outlines all the weapon combos in a nice flow chart, but that's about it.
Page 45 mentions that the Dainsleif Icon should be tapped to activate DS Mode when the SP gauge is full, and tapped again to cancel DS Mode. Page 8 mentions R + Circle for activating/canceling DS Mode.
Page 48 mentions double tapping the touchscreen to reset the camera to face the direction your character is facing and that rear touchpad also can move the camera.
IIRC there's stuff in the in-game help that is not covered in the manual like the crystal/icon things that monsters drop when they die. I don't remember seeing anything in the manual or in-game help about quest color, though.
I was messing with my inventory and then synced trophies before bed. That's all.

So what are the benefits of mp outside of making some bosses more manageable due to being able to transfer agro and what not.
Are there different drop tables?
Had a few d/cs last night which made the experience less than awesome.
