At least they fixed the targeting in this unlike in the originals, I remembered needing to constantly change targets if I wanted all my characters to attack, because if you killed an enemy in the old game, everyone that was targeting the enemy auto defends because they weren't smart enough to attack the next enemy.Susan Arendt said:
Bah, maybe I'm nuts but that sounds like a feature no game should have. If the game wants to play itself, why does it need me?xyrafhoan said:

Thing is, unless you were way over leveled rushing is a death sentence in SMT. Thoes games are elemental rock-paper-scissors on steroids (For you and for your enemy).mjc0961 said:Bah, maybe I'm nuts but that sounds like a feature no game should have.

Anyway just stick to regular attacks, if you need to bother with summons for the random rats and ghouls that pop up, you are doing something horribly wrong. That or use an item or Psynergy that stops random attacks. Or run.
That's... Dissapointing.Fidelias said:

Everyone in Madra said that it was a Champa ship, not their ship. You clear Piers' name after defeating Briggs. By the time you return with the Black Crystal, the Madrans realize that it is not a Champa ship.Stevepinto3 said:
The problem is, I do stick to regular physical attacks. The unleashes are from my weapons and because I'm stacked with additional critical hit gear, they go off all the time. To be fair, the random encounter rate isn't high, but even against the toughest of random foes on the overworld, nothing is so threatening that I'd stop using basic attacks (and perhaps a psynergy here or there). I'm sure there is a dungeon as tough as say, the Anemos Sanctum, but in the mean time, I just want my battles to go faster than "mash A, watch everything die in two turns". Virtually every recent game I've played has a rush feature too. Persona 3 and 4 in all their incarnations allow you to rush, which saves a lot of time when backtracking through dungeons and mooks need to be squished, which even speeds up the basic attack animation. Strange Journey became way too hard to use rush, but when you were overleveled it was easier to rush anything you knew that wouldn't kill you for using physical attacks. Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light had a different kind of rush but it allowed you to keep repeating the last option you chose and sit back (though this game was wholly unsuitable for that kind of gameplay). Even Disgaea 2 allowed me to turn off all the flashy effects so I could get in more gameplay on my short PSP battery so each turn would progress much faster. It's just a time saving and button saving (my A button is so worn it doesn't even have any real feedback anymore) measure that I tend to expect in turn based RPGs now.mjc0961 said:Bah, maybe I'm nuts but that sounds like a feature no game should have.
