lava boss isn't the same as the green boss at all, it's easy during the end but a pain before that, i can't even imagen the work you'd need to do to kill it without using lots of magic, not to mention the second time you do it, they hit harder and have more hp. snow ruin is gonna be a pain to finish before i can get all my cash together to get the upgrades i need to make gold and plat stuff.

It's been a full week since release and only IGN and Nintendo Power seem to have reviewed the game. Actually, one source I found said Edge reviewed it too (70), but I can't find any proof of that.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, since this IS a niche title, but how are people going to find out about the awesomeness if no one tells them that the game exists?

I'm working on reviewing it. Of course I'm also trying to be one of the few reviewers to actually complete the game. ;)

So, when is this game releasing in Europe, then? In the OP it says 'PAL October 2009', but on IGN it says Q1 2009 (Which would be sometime before the end of this month... :s)

*Screeeeaaams*
My game is here XDXD
I'm gonna get down to play. Omgomg. :)

October of this year, I'm afraid. I also saw that on IGN (and two other sites), and originally put that in the OP, but for whatever reason they pushed it back six months. Sorry!

Sounds good. Just let me know when you finish so I can add it in. And it would be nice if more reviewers shared your professionalism...

I'm on day 11 and I'm loving the game ^__^
I hate not knowing where to get tools, but I will keep playing until I find them. (I really want that axe!).
What bothers me is how everything uses rune points. I can't tend to my farm and go to the island at night unless I'm really efficient. that's part of the game, I guess, and while I don't like dying (I've already passed out like 4 times XD), it's fun working a way to stay awake and healthy!
Soon, Selphy or annete will be mine :D

just do your normal things while keep talking to different towns people and you will eventually get everything.

hyperion, get the hot springs asap, raise crops in dungeons as well.

right now, im not even too sure about crops anymore, because I can make 10k+gold easy a day easy by just fishing and cooking, I mean, I still grow them, but I'm really starting to wonder if it's worth the running around.
