Suprised no one's made a topic on this already, but tis out today. I haven't got it yet - in the last month I've bought Wario, Resi and Splitters and they've kinda left me low on cash.

Those who got it today/have already imported (Psycho Fox, WS etc.), is it worth my money? I'm an RPG fan as ye may know, but an RPG fan slightly put off by all this card fighting business. So.. verdicts anyone?

I have just completed the game at last! I destroyed you know who and went through an hour long ending full of extra dialogue and plot twists, and happy endings too. Oh it was so great.

Hey for all those who are playing when you reach the end (you'll know when) you should be level 70+ with all 3 characters in your attack party, but don't worry you'll be in a place that you can easily level up, and also a place with a green/blue plant, which is a first in a dungeon, but welcome all the same. This doesn't mean however that you cannot leave the place and restock your supplies though. I have had Kalas, Xhela and Gibari in the party for the entire game (with a few exceptions here and there) and I've never reluctantly wanted to change anyone for another character at all.

I've got Gibari in my team. He's good because I have a lot of variation in elemental magnus with him, whereas Savyna and Lyude are a bit more limited.
I found Mizuti to be a bit of a pointless character, really. I just gave all of his cards to Xelha, because she's better. Is there any reason I should use Mizuti instead?
I like to put Lyude in there from time to time, mainly because he has a lot of powerful light/dark attacks which have proved to be useful. I don't really like to use him though because his attacks are so boring and he is a terrible character, even though he's quite powerful.

Oh and I'd recommend BK very highly. It's a lot of fun, especially the battle system, and you never get stuck in any one place for too long, which happens A LOT in most RPGs.

Never paid any attention to this until now. But after going through the original zelda on my bonus disk (nearly finished!) I'm in an rpg mood.

Yay, a another Gibari believer! Told ya he was a great powerhouse. With all my team now doing 9 card combos I have been getting combos that do well over 1000 (maybe even 2000+) more often now, the only thing that can reduce it is using the opposite element finisher to the majority of your attack elements, but sometimes if you really want to get a 9 card combo you have to forgo trying to hold back on the opposite element to get what you want. I have now also got all my characters level 9 finishers, although I've only seen Gibari's and Kalas', Gibari's looks really great, but Kalas's isn't too visually appealing though, but it does great wind damage however. I have heard though that Mizuti's finisher is a Chrono based one which sounds appealing.

i just did that "3 on 3" fight and saw that try again screen=) awwwwwww. i then traded savyna for gibari (savyna had no light attacks at the time doy) and it was then that i saw why u love gibari so much psycho. he had like 10 light paddle and 10 water ones and absolutely cleaned out in that boss fight (he was doing 1000+ attacks) it was ridiculas. i then did the lava caves and some good twists in there. the storyline has really picked up. its great, but as good as ToS/SoA?

Well the fight straight after the tree guardian wasn't too difficult now was it? Get used to the easy boss fights coz they will be oh so few later on, i'm in the final section of the game and I may only have afair 1 on 1 boss fight but that definetly doesn't mean it ain't hard, but the bosses I am fighting now have a max HP of 14000-16000, which makes the boss fights oh so long.

I think it's already too late but save a backup copy of your journey before you head to Mira, trust me it might come in handy later on.

I find i have less time to choose savyna's attacks by the highest amount of damage they can do before I run out of time coz she has already used up the last weapon I just picked a second ago, she's a bit too fast to use in boss fights and in normal ones. Yes she may be powerful but still consider having Gibari and his raw power finishing off a group of enemies much quicker and less HP costly on the entire party than she could.

Hmm I don't remember the tree boss, probably coz I didn't die when I fought against it (you usually remember your defeats, especially if you're meant to learn from your mistakes) but I do remmeber it had mutliple parts, but you only have to concentrate on the main part the tree guardian itself, keep attacking it and heal yourself (you do have some healing items on EVERY character don't you? Coz when a character cannot attack from a lack of weapons, but there are healing items it's the best chance of survival and the best use of a non attack turn) and you'll eventually defeat it, along with the tentacles, but don't bother with those as he does revive them after one or two turns, so it's pointless. Plus you're only getting the same exp. from it even if you killed as many tents as possible ;-)

Same, just had the first boss battle in which I died and that was the tree shrine boss. Still Savyna is the nuckin futs and this maybe some of the best music I have ever heard in a game ever.
