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'm loving this game. It's certainly not perfect, but it's got the best card battle system I've ever used, and even though most of the voice acting is poor, the game movs on at a fair old pace. I'm glad the battles aren't random either - I hate that. I hope that all RPGs utilise this sort of system from now on, I know ToS does. When I've finished BK I might pick up ToS.
Wicked, now all my party members are Class 6 and can all do max combos of 9 cards, which is so awesome when almost more than half of my 60 cards (another increase of 10 cards from class 5) are high powered weapons of mass destruction, especially Gibari's weapons and Kalas' as they are now up to a damage of 225 for a single weapon (not including their level 8 finishers).
My characters are Level 67, Level 66, and level 66, Gibari, Kalas and Xhela respectively. They all have health bars going past the 5500hp mark, and they all have equipped what I believe to be their best item, some being the Skull items that have a 99 resistence against ALL status problems (except confuse coz that is a side effect of the item when equipped, but confuse is pathetic when you know which of your finishers are which number and you don't care about trying to get a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 hit combo in a battle, it's probably impossible even wthout being confused and having only 5 seconds to decide your next card is going to be.

It took me a while to find out how to get those books too, then i realised I could climb up on top of the book cases using the ladders scattered around the rooms.
Believe me when I say the battle will get a lot tougher later on in the second disc Oriental Rib, but i have been handed a golden opportunity now coz 4 out of 6 characters are now at Class 6, this allows you to have 7 cards in your hand (no biggie as this was the same at class 5) however as in class 5 you could attack with a limit of 6 cards, well you are in for a treat now coz at class 6 you can have a limit of 9 cards! This will certainly help you out during some of the harder bosses of the game, but it only gets more helpful when more and more of your characters get their class 6 item, but unfortunatly Gibari is the last to get his no matter which order you try to play the last parts of the game in.
Kalas was of course the first to get his item just before fighting the trio, so as soon as youget the item go back to a blue/green flower, coz you'll need every advantage you need to face them again (twice). Oh and they did change the stats on the trio, the woman with the crazy rabbit is now the most annoying coz she can do a 9 hit combo also that can do up to 900 damage without defending. the blue haired goon on the other hand has got really weak attacks, and the same with the middle guy.
Edit: Oh also I have finished the Quizzman family tree gathering, and have got only 3 more celestial magnus to find before that is done too.
