fuck, not a fan of mage at all. All her attacks are super slow and stationary.
btw: is there a move list or anything, and you can get new skills, or is everything you have at the beginning what ya have for the rest of the game?
Also having a hard time comprehending how the knockback system works. Sometimes baddies react to hits, sometime they don't

.I believe you do. And Jamison Price, whose voice I just had to use for my serious, not-at-all-young looking Mage. Hearing him call out RO Spells is too cool, lol. I would have loved to have had the JP voices available too, but I'm happy the US voices are of proper popularity and quality.
I'm really liking the way Mage feels in this game! Won't say too much as I'm not deep into the game yet, but it's a fresh take on the playstyle. THere's little I find as fun in action games, as sending enemies spinning out across the screen, and being able to do that on things 5 times my character's size is incredibly satisfying.
Also, great how much *RO* stuff is in this game. It'd be easy to get a few translated names wrong here and there, or translate throw-away items like trunks and Jellopy's as "Wood" and "Gelatin", for example, but all the in-universe stuff is very familiar and comfortable. The care put into that aspect is appreciated, XSEED!
Badges made of Empirium, smacking around Grizzlys and Marin's, using emoticons that are right out of RO, BEING ABLE TO SIT! (Ok, I didn't have to raise my job level in order to do it this time...), talking to all the proper Kafra girls (Leilah's the best, duh), talking about trade and fashion set by the trends from Capital City Prontera... it's all nice and plesant for any who spent way too much time in the RPG...
Oh yeah, and yays for complimentary Angeling's in our own private suite! Such high class service!

- Your neutral "O" is a soul strike! That pushes them back. You also have 2 buffs from charging neutral "O", I believe.
-- Spells have a wide area of effect, and seem to hit very hard early on. Also, use air attacks to stay out of enemy reach.
- Move list is with the Merc Booklet. Maybe in the digital manual as well?
- Knockback works by how worn down you have the enemy. When the cursor around them (during lock-on) is red, you can knock up and back.

If you do, you should probably get that checked out. I kid, but seriously, you should just automatically assume he's in everything even mildly related to Japan.

Jealousy.
I tried, but the JYB voice couldn't channel that essence very well.
Communications ceased the moment he sent me flying across the map with a fist to the face.

Spells do hit hard, but they take forever, and you have to be in it, to use them efficiently, which = you getting hit hard.
maybe i'm missing something, don't know.
Not too bad, you have super armor, decent crowd control, and a few hits into Heaven's Drive in air sends many weaklings spinng out all around the field. Soul-striking weaklings into everyone else allows you to make your own projectile shot out of all weaker enemies. Also, you can Dash-cancel recovery pretty easily, so once you get the spell out, start moving around!
It might not be the class for you, though. Take the class on until you can switch classes, and then see if something else fits your desires better.
Hunter is probably closer to what an expected Mage would be like, from what little I know of it.
My brother has started one, as a classic Battle Aco / Priest / High Priest player. He's loving it. Sanctuary is slow to start, but is a great way to heal self + others after conflicts, the special counter -> 3 hit burst is great, and he even has a mini-fireball somewhere in there. He's not the strongest hitter so far, but looks to be a great support / self-healing character.
Welp, looks like i need to look into this game before it's released in Europe.

Welcome to the Vitabros/cats/etc
There are tons of other Vita games you should give a shot - you might be surprised!I have my copy en route, I'll be able to get it by tomorrow or Thursday.. the wait is going to suck though. I added the Destructoid review to the OT!

Wow - just failed the first "Extra Quest" as a Hunter straight out of the intro. I need to learn how this game plays, haha.
E: Should I save my drops? Do I use them to craft later? And is there a limit to how much you can fit in your chest?
EE: Yup, just found the guy who can craft for me. Awesome. Limit question still stands though!

That's good to hear. All the screenshots I've seen of the game have turned me off of it. But between hearing this and reading destructoids review I think I want this game pretty badly now.
And hearing about the great character creation and customization has me interested too. As does hearing that one of the composers of ff xi and ff crystal chronicles is doing the soundtrack.

It's going to be a glorious game. The soundtrack is AMAZING by the way, you should give it a listen:

No idea, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now I'm chesting everything except the weapons I can't use, which I sell.
Also, now I'm looking more familiar~
Gives me Double Attack and Poison Attack abilities too!

Holy wow, that's fantastic! Hope you can look a little like SinX later, too.

You can buy a Swordman and Merchant outfit the moment you start the game, and a Thief and Magician one on Chapter 2. I imagine the rest of the basic "classic" jobs would come next, like Acolyte and Archer. Each outfit comes with a "card" for that job so you can use the abilities you get from it with other outfits, which is nice. For those curious as to how they look:

Wow that was beautiful! Ok I think I am gonna get this right now. If I add 50 to psn I'm at $100. Might as well.

hmmm... I can see the appeal of mage, but it's not really my style
Been having some good fun with Cleric atm. Damage is decent, but self heal and def skills is great.
I'm hearing they can counter attack, where do I read up on those and air combos? Manual seems to just talk about ground combos :/
Just remember, you have to actually spend 100. So if you spend $99.98, the deal won't count. So make sure those few cents are spent somehow!
There was a section in the Merc Guide about Class Specific Abilities. Not sure if it's in the manual or not. (I'd figure it'd have been in the same spot of the combo diagram, as a "single button press" section.)
Even that guide skips a few things, though. Like there's no mention of what Mage's Lvl 1 and 2 Charge attack does specifically in the Merc Guide... though they do mention he has buff skills.

Yeah... it's not in the menu. The fuck? Could you explain how to do 'counter attack' with cleric please

Thanks for the heads up. Was actually at $49 after tallying so I am gonna end up having to add a few more bucks to reach a hundred.
..I'm not sure why it never occurred to me to look at the Mercenary Guide until now. I was wondering how the hell I pulled off different moves all the time.
*post reading* ...No unique job features like the others? Sin is too good for that, hmmph.

You basically have to guard at the right timing of the opponent's attack by pressing R + Triangle. You can even Guard Cancel your normal attacks by pressing said buttons while attacking.

Can you cancel attacks with Mage? Super Armor is great... until you die lol.
And one worrying thing about Sterling's review is time limit. I wanna continue my cleric... but don't wanna reach that ceiling :S

is COOP for campaign or just boss fights?
I have to play cleric for tradition's sake. I always played priest in RO. Granted I was a full support priest..
Negative. Mage has double casting though. To quote the book:
"At the end of a combo, press and hold the circle button to engage a magical charge. If you hold this charge for a time, then release, you may find yourself casting double the magic in one fell swoop."
