Bumping this back up to say that I picked the game up. In two more weeks I will begin to relate my adventures.

God help me. I read the manual, like I always do. I read the specific part where you will catch a cold if you don't get enough sleep, and it gave me a chill.

This game will destroy me.

If there is any interest on dungeon maps I can post some tomorrow. Got the Japanese guide which happens to have nicely done maps.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yes it will.

If it's not too much of a hassle, could you please? I'm not sure how many people are still using this, but I know a few more will be starting in May (Khuutra, Kenology). Plus, I might bump it up again when it releases in Europe (October, assuming I remember).

Well, I'm simply loving the game. I imported it from the US and couldn't be more happy with it :) And, by the way, it's a please to the eye.

Here are some pics (sorry the quality):

I see you're also in the habit of running poor Raguna ragged.

So if I wanted to, could I fight using nothing but my tools?

Yup!

In fact, while I still prefer my trusty Rune Blade, I sometimes go dungeon hopping using nothing but my watering can. Good times! You'll also find that your axe and hammer are good weapons as well as good tools, but really, why use those when you can use a fishing rod instead?

See now, if that's the case, I may never use a sword.

I mean, if I can level up my watering can or hammer instead...!

In the begining, yes... there is so much to do that it is impossible to resist. But now it's better ;)

I still get him down to no hp before sleep. If there wasn't anything left to do it's just fishing in the house (since fishing seems something I can't quite level naturally, it's still at 3x, with the rest being 6x-7x and cooking maxed).
