Ah ma gawd, the demo comes out today! I can finally play the game!

I'm actually playing on Lunatic, and I haven't played spotpass at all yet.  

I like maxing stats, and what not, not because of spotpass, but because I'm kind of a completionist in my games.  I try and max out everyone on my entire team and get them their best skills they can get, even if they never leave my bench. 

But whats so evil about that build I posted?  It's not like it has lethality or anything.  It just makes it super hard to hit her.  

So here's my opinion on the demo:

-Graphics are great, better than expected
-Normal is easy, but Lunatic is very hard.
-Avatar is a great idea
-The wait for the game to launch (3 weeks?) will be incredibly hard!

The primary difficulty, at least on Normal/Hard, comes during those levels with enemy reinforcements. I don't believe the demo includes any of those, so I'd reserve judgment until then.

You're correct. I think it first shows up when you meet Cordelia. That's, what, Map 7?

Yen'fey just joined The Cake Eaters (that's my team name...)!

Two DLC characters to go. Looking forward to Aversa's chapter. ^_^

I have another opinion on this game that I have not played yet, but a very curious about, because I like the old games, and also because the reviews are glowing.

However, I have just learned that Nintendo joined the micro transaction boat with this game ... and that makes it a complete abomination. Pay to get this crap that will give you more exp? Unacceptable. Not Nintendo. If they keep doing this, if it creeps into my favorit frachises, the thing I had thought unthinkable will happen. I will denounce my love, and piss on it's grave.

You may safely denounce then, my friend: it's all true, and the Golden Pack is basically a "pay to win" pack. Money, experience, powerful weapons... for just a few dollars more, they can all be yours!
