Since you mentioned it, here's what the US boxart will look like:Quote:

I like it better than the normal edition art for the JP release, but not as much as I like the cover of the special edition.
Bah, I think that sucks.
Unrelated note: Final Chapter (12) !
I want Croix back! I spent ALL my time leveling the fucking dark prince. :(
That box art is rather slick. Much better than La Pucelle.
I've had my reserve on Phantom Brave for a few weeks now. I can't wait! I think it drops in August.
Woah, Rich. Chapter 12 already? I'm still on the Library mission, though I haven't been playing it as balls to the wall as you obviously have.
Last 2 weeks I've only put about 15 hours in, which is about an hour a day...I was at something like chapter 5 by the end of the first full 24 hours. :p I'm trying to get the game beat before I go to Missouri, friday morning.
Ah! I gotcha. Well, I'm jobless (sans the regular part-time job, but that's only 15 hours a week), and school's out, so I have much more time on my hands to hunker down and ace some games that I've been meaning to beat for a while now.
La Pucelle included.
this game pisses me off. i hate leveling. I dont understand all the item leveling/dark world crap (nor do i care to). and enemies kick my ass.
Kicked the whale's ass and am now on chapter 5. The trick is to build up your item multipliers, then go up in levels. Most of my guys are level 25+, but their item stats are off the hook...like X10+ everything...so I have a lot of extra weapons when going into battle.
I combined a lot of items and have some powerful stuff now, that have like 6-7 stat multipliers attached...this is a good way to level up also.
Actually, for now, the dark world isn't helping me much because I keep getting stages that I can't access since I don't have the warpdrive. I've had much more luck using the hall of the dead to build up items, killing my own guys for level building, and just fighting a lot in each current chapter for multiplier building...
I took a break and am going to level up for that tree guy in level 8.
I don't want to cheat too much, but I am worried that I am going to lose some of my characters some time here, but will I get them back is the big question? I hate when you don't have consistent character use throughout a game...
BTW: That PB cover -- does this mean Double Jump is giving us the PB guide? I hope so, the Disgaea guide had much more style than the La Pucelle one.
QUESTION: Are there any good fansites with artwork and wallpapers from NI games? I would like the get the artbooks down the road, but for now I want some good stuff for my desktop???
You only loose one character permanently, ss. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. :p
I do believe that DoubleJump will be doing the PB book. Matter of fact, the only reason La Pucelle wasn't done by them is because the publisher was different: Mastiff instead of Atlus. ;)
What are you doing in the Halls of the Dead that's netting you so damned much XP?
Well I use hall of the dead for my item leveling, cause you can build huge streams in there, cause it's one nice big rectangle with lots of streams. The biggest one I've scored is 6,000+ bonus points and leveled up my items about 10 levels each in one shot...Quote:
