in short i was just wondering if anyone had seen anything on this or had any idea about it?
Slash, slash, slash. Die. Exp + 10. *fizz* noise, MORE ENEMIES!
Dark Chronicle will have story though. And hopefully, elements of *fun* :D

I guess you could liken Dark Chronicles battle-system to PSO. It's actually quite a tough game as it goes.
But if it's not turn based, it'll be like PSO's battle system!
Nooooooo!

I'm just asking what the battle system in Dark Chronicle is like. Anyone?

Had this for well over a few months now. It's pretty good as it goes. Deep. Very deep. There is an awful lot to see and do, sometimes it can prove a little overwhelming though.
Each of the dungeons are split into around 8-segues, so it doesn't feel like your trapsing through familiar ground over and over again. It does throw a couple interesting scenarios at you. For instance: There are conditions that you can beat certain segues of a dungeon within. For example; defeating all the baddies or not using a health power-up for that particular segue.
There's also the addition of the invention facility, which enables you to meld a number of everyday components together to create a useful gadget that might come in handy later on.
As I say, it's a HUGE game. And more than makes up for the disappointment that Konami won't be releasing Suikoden 3 in the PAL market.
