I've only just reached Hamil, about 3 and a bit hours in and some of these skits are pretty fruity.

I destroyed the final boss in less than that even... guess I leveled too much.
Isn't it just more item drops and higher % chance of rarer items? (I don't know, I'm not very far in and the tool tip was vague in the settings).
Rewards more for longer combos such as exp
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Increased XP multiplier if you get higher combos and that's it.

I think Jude has to learn a skill first that gives him increased speed after a successful back step.
You didn't equip his skill that gives that bonus

sealing your ability to use artes is the dumbest thing ever.
Hardly new though

it isn't something that expires though like other debuffs though, i think?
Thanks. My boyfriend is playing on Hard and wanted to be sure there wasn't anything else.
Combat wise I've really enjoyed this game compared to Graces. All the characters are enjoyable to play as even though I initially didn't like Rowen. Rowen is pretty awesome at higher levels especially with that back step ability of stopping time. I played the whole game as Alvin, since I really love his play style. Overall this game is way better than Graces in my opinion.

Is there any reason to hold onto old equipment or is it safe to sell off stuff as better comes along?
I recall reading it's fine to sell all of it. I think the only reason to keep some is if it has unique properties like elemental properties, but if it's just a straight stat increase sell and move on.
I've heard it's better to sell them, although you might want to hold onto elemental weapons in-case you encounter an enemy that's weak to them.
As for me? I'm keeping everything. Every. Single. Item. I'll even purchase the weapons/armor that I won't use to do less than idea stats [like the ribbons for Milla]. I must have it all!

If you are hurting for some money you can sell all your non-elemental weapons and armor.
I never did since money wasn't really that tight and it becomes unimportant once you start eating money doubling food and giving everyone sephiras.
Probably. Biggest mark against it is probably production values and being a PS3 native release I imagine it's probably higher than Graces there anyway (though the playback quality for voices frustrates me) and it's far closer to the Symphonia team games otherwise. Plus it ends in about 30-40 hours so that problem with Abyss shouldn't exist here!

Yeah, I figured it out. I just unlocked a 2nd orb web and it was there. You have to be in overlimit and use the arcane arte then hold X. Only seen final fury so far.
Holy crap at the story bits in chapter 3, almost makes up for the slow start at the beginning of the game.
Did you enjoy it?

Also, who does the anime in this game? Have they done a full length anime series of anything? Love to check it out. They're awesome.
Ufotable, and yes. They're incredible!
They've done a bunch of series. Check out their Wikipedia entry for the details.

I'd highly recommend Fate/Zero.

Thanks! I guess I should look at watching Fate/Zero. Is it Fantasy like?
Fate Zero is the best anime produced in the past two years. Its fantastic.
You can say that.
It essentially takes place in modern Japan where a war for the Holy Grail takes place. Those who attain the Grail are entitled to any one wish. People are "selected" by the Grail to do battle with the others chosen by forming a contract with a hero of the past.
There's a lot more to it, but that's the basis. It's a really great series.
It's a mix of reality and fantasy. It's one of the best anime in years, as others have said.
Wrong episode son!
So much truth.
Fate/Zero is quite good. They have also done the Kara no Kyoukai movie and the Tales of Symphonia OVAs. They are supposed to be releasing an 8th Kara no Kyoukai movie and a new Fate/Stay Night series soon.
Also, I'm at the part where
. I'm not even halfway am I?
Also, I'm at the part where
Teepo gets kidnapped.
It's either F/Z, Steins Gate, or Madoka for me.
She acts for the sake of her mission and as a result everything is secondary to her so yes, she is what you say. However, she's also learning about humans so...

For anyone who has played local multi-player in this, how was your experience with it overall?
It was alright but the last part of the game and the ending felt a bit lacking to me. I also missed the old way they used to do the credits.
