At first glance looks quite interesting. Isnt much info in the special reserve reviews. Has anyone got it and does it compare with anything?

Nah, nothing compares to Tsunami Bomb in Disgaea.

Take some time, listen to a couple of riffs and try to find the solo and you'll be a changed man.

I've had SO3 for ages but never got into it, started it up the other day and now I'm hooked. (All it took was a little time spent getting used to the battle system).

Best soundtrack ever.

My advice, create a save in gemity, just in case as some of the beasties are a bit tough! From now on they get a lot harder!

Im now just leaving Gemity. You get your disintagration ring in the cave you get the dragon from. You get it off a rabbit called Vanilla. After that you can top up on your bombs, from the sales rabbit that apeares in inns. It has to be one of the best games iv'e actually played. The story outshines FF.

Woohoo double post!

But BIGGER woohoo, managed to finish the begger! 62 hours 44 mins! without doing any of the side quests or much inventing. Got a feeling there is enough to go back to!

Nope, in one of the later dungeons, you get some temporary hammer ones, then later a rabbit looking chap will make the ring for you.

Got to the final boss last night (think it was anyway), but he opened a big can of whoopass on me, grrr, tonight i shall have him!
Also noticed i've opened universe hardness level with the number of trophies i've managed to aquire! Nice!

Gameplay yes possibly better/as good as FFX, but story wise no, bit predictable, unless the endings got a cheeky twist a la FFX

You get a couple of random ones first then the ring of disintergration, which is what you really need.

Gutted, but i think if you finish it, then start over/harder i think the battle trophies carry over, as reading about it, i don't think you can get them all first time through anyway!

Think i'm on the final leg of the story now, and i can't go back anywhere, all i can say is the bad guys are sure gettin a lot harder, and i should have levelled up in Gemity more + invented more weapons n stuff! Ah well plod on!

Im playing it, about 50 hours in on second game. Started on hard mode and got stuck. Ive just had the meating with the king of Ariglith, and I'm on my way back through the desert. Has everyone got the Table from the garden. Carn't remember the proper name of the place but it's across the bridge on the way to Aquiose. When you get the table. Give it to Welch in Petermy. It will open the 2 player fight mode up. Im not a lover of the fight system either but make good use of the books. They will give you good moves, and magic.
