And also, my Xbox crapped out with a beautiful RRoD, RIGHT AFTER, the beautiful cinematic I was talking about in my previous post…

I called customer rep (its the second time my Xbox dies) and basically he kinda promised me a brand new Xbox 360… I tend not to believe them. They’re probably gonna send me a crapp-tastically-refurbished Xbox like they did the first time.

The DVD tray was making horrendous noise and the CPU/GPU heatsink was making an even more horrendous mecanical grind noise during gameplay… so I’m not all that sad to be getting ANY other Xbox than the one they had returned to me the first time.

There are two useful skills about the enemys. One of them Jansen is gonna learn (so you don’t have to use it on Seth or Kaim). It the Factual Analysis, basically what element the enemy is made of/uses.

The HP skill is Status Analysis. That one you’re gonna have to set to either Kaim or Seth. I’d recommend you put a Defense skill (the best one you have) on Seth because the enemies tend to attack her more often (and her defense is a bit low so she loses a lot of HP).

The game really is astounding. There is a scene in Numara (about 6-8 hour into the game) that almost made me cry. I’m dead serious. I’m freaking 22 year old dude and I almost cried. The scene was just so intense…

I agree about the map thing I do get lost a lot but I’m so powerful the random battles don’t bother me The bar at the top right shows the total amount of Hp for the front line so you can kinda use that to guess tings. It would have been nice to know how much Hp each enemy has but I just use my top tings all the time to make sure tings die. XD

Enemy HP’s are displayed once you learn the specific skills … there are skills to display enemy types, status and even the items they are carrying.

I’m loving this game too..never played a TB JRPG before but LO is fantastic..my only complaints are that save points are sometimes too far spread out and I really hate how battles just “pop-up” at the worst times..other than that this title is a rare gem that deserves alot more credit than it seems to be getting…
