Now 60 hours in. Just past the first time you can access the hotsprings. 80 man melee defeated. I have to admit to you now, this is one of my favorite games of all time.

The game is longer than I originally through. As for side quests:

Once you get free range, go sleep at the guild city several times and you'll get an important arte for Karol(You'll see, it's great). The sidequests are basically, revisit cities you've been in and talk to new people/sleep at the inn and get scenes.

You get a score at the end of each battle. It's like +.45 or something like that. It gives you a score on how well you fought. At the end of the game, you go to a one time store where you can spend all the score you've accumulated on stuff that will be carried over to a 2nd playthrough. For instance, you can buy like Exp x10, or you can keep all your arts. That's if you wanna play through a second time.

I'm sure ToS2 will be great, but degrading ToV isn't necessary. I'm sure that you've played the 60 hour game, yet didn't feel like making your review longer than "ist not bad, but not very good either." but I think you have no clue what you're talking about. I don't think you've ever played the game, and I doubt you're capable of reviewing anything, even if you had played it. Keep up the fight though.

I see. Kinda lame to call those things side quests. Im going through the world now and sleeping at every inn again.

I see about the grade thing. I think doing the secret missions will help me out. And the Karol skill, meh. I don't use Karol in battle. Raven and Judith are MUCH  better.

My Party:

1. Yuri
2. Estelle
3. Judith (if not then Rita)
4. Raven (if not then Repede)
