too bad the game dialouge is jap with no english subs even though a lot of the txt is in english the game is not that bad

[L.S.D]

it is not bad. i prefer to think of it as an action game with some elements of RPG. I have been playing the side-missions a lot. The summon FMVs is just TOOOO COOL.

If one of you could give me the idiot's guide to the combat I'd much appreciate.

 

I get you press square to dodge, triangle to guard, L and R to select and attack and circle to execute...

 

But... how do you select the items that are available to you in battle? And how do you control the roulette thing?

[L.S.D]

ok, i think i got the battle system figured out a little bit.

 

First of all, note the actions that can be chosen are at the bottom right of the screen.

 

1. 1st orb is for normal slash

2. Last one is for items.

3. Anything in between is for the command and spells materias that

you equipped.

 

For items, you would have to memorise the name of the items though.

When you choose "item", you will get to select which items can be used.

 

Choosing is using L and R.

 

The first thing you must remember is you are choosing for your NEXT

actions. So, basically you can just choose like this:

Slash ----> Slash -------> Slash ------> Slash (up to 4 times) but there is a certain timing to it.

OR

Slash----> Slash -------> Heal ------> Slash (the first slash animation again). Of course, if you are interrupted during the actions, you will have to start again.

Also note that you can cancel the actions by either roll dogde (Square)

or press X. So you can do something like:

Slasj ----> Slash -----> Inputting the 3rd slash but cancel it using

roll dodge as you see an attack is incoming ------> fireball ----> slash

etc etc. i think you get the idea.

 

You need to note that roll dodge need AP, so watch it especially during boss fights. Command attacks also consume AP.

 

The Roulette / DMW system is random, but it can help you break the limit of your AP, MP and HP gauge when it get certain number on it.

You need to get at least 2 pictures together to get the DMW sequences

starting. You can;t control it much, even the summon is random,

In one battle, i couldn't even get a summon and in one battle, i kept on summoning Bahamut

 

All in all, a pretty interesting battle system. if only i know Japanese, then

i would know the rewards the DMW system is rewarding. All i know is sometimes it can bestow auto-guard or healing or something.

 

Hope this helps
