It's making me miss traditional JRPGs too becuase once I complete this I know it's uncertain when I will play a new one again. I'm just glad we have this one to play. After this I guess it's back to FFVII for the 100th time, or maybe FFIX for the 99th time.

I want something as good as this to play om vita. Any suggestions? I should start a separate thread really.

Any of the FF games from PSN. I think all the pS1 games are on there now.

Persona 4: Golden. Many would argue it's much better than this.

[Brad]

Cheers for the suggestions chaps. /derailment

Anyone else incredibly disappointed with the Wizard's Edition (EU version)? Came packaged in the worst premium collector's edition boxes I've ever had the opportunity to lay my hands on. Once you take the seal off, it's nigh on, wait scratch that, it IS impossible to close again properly with all the contents inside. I've had to take out the drippy plush just so that the flap doesn't keep on sticking out too far.

Starting to wonder exactly why the RRP was so retardedly high. The game itself I have nothing but good things to say about, but someone needs to tell Namco something about packaging. After the woeful effort that was the Tales of Graces Day one edition, they should be quite thankful I've splashed down more money on a second collector's edition. Won't be making the same mistake a third time unless they buck up their ideas.

Because no matter how high the price was or what the actual contents were they always knew there would be some saps who can't help themselves?

[Daragon]

Didn't even get all the contents that the US version had. What was the BS reason for that? Localization knowing their crazy excuses

[fuse]

What actually was the RRP though before retailer markup? I, amongst others, paid ?55 from Amazon which is less than I paid for the 'regular' edition from Japan which I assure you is nowhere near as exciting. Plus I have no issue whatsoever getting it all back in the box... I honestly do not understand how you could, either.

Regarding the Tales of Graces 'day one' edition, that was priced exactly the same as the regular version. I do not get why you're so offended they gave you a free CD and artbook.

When you are swapping around familiars, bear in mind that each ally is better suited to handling creatures of certain genuses. Yoi can find out which genuses each ally handles besy by accessing Frienda & Familiars.

So says the in game help

However, I can't see this information anywhere. Anyone know where it is?

[mugetsu]

go to friends and familiars, select a monster with square and 3 tiny little icons will appear.

1) Why would you pay the "retardedly high" price?

2) Why didn't you order the U.S. edition then?

I didn't pay the RRP, I'm just saying that it's too much money for an item of its quality. Not entirely sure what the RRP was, but it can't have been far off ?100, given that thehut now has it listed at that (I actually paid about ?61 for it). The box is barely fit for purpose and could probably rip or tear almost as easily as paper. How I received it seemingly without a scratch on it is miraculous!

Secondly, were I a US citizen, I would of course had the US edition. Importing was out of the question and even if I did preorder one, chances are I wouldn't have ended up with it given the problems they faced with stock.

Jesus Christ how much more stuff do they want me to learn!? I reckon it'd be easier to learn Japanese than all the tiny bits of stuff in this game.

->Open Spoiler<-

The test of wits. Otherwise known as randomly moving stuff around until it ends up in the position the game wanted you to put it in. Or get a hint - otherwise known as tell me exactly what to do in no uncertain terms. Seriously, do they really think people want to do this stuff? There is no wits involved.

Still loving it mind.
