It is sooo realistic right? I thought so. I mean we do all bathe together in big groups. That is until, like my twin sister and I, decided on our 23rd birthday that it was time to be more independent.

So I'm in a castle full of demons with fia and lina. The game's growing on me somewhat, although I find the battle system a bit too simple and I'm worried it'll get repetitive. I think the whole dating sim elements have been added to give the game a littlesomething more content wise, because everythings so trimmed down - exploring, battling, levelling.

the battle system gets more interesting once your weapons start breaking...

And when does that happen? I just beat the Accursed and I've thrown away about 50% of the weapons I found so far. Maybe I had weapon overload because I haven't been caught by a treasure chest trap yet?

have you been doing practice battles a lot? if so, to make things more interesting try training up your team with regular battles. not impossible to do, but makes the game much more difficult.

see the numbers after a weapon? Like if it says "Rapier 5" that means you can use it 5 more times before it breaks.

I've not been doing practice battles a lot (although I did to master a rapier I found which was one use only so I didn't waste it), and I know WHEN my weapon runs out, it just hasn't happened. By the time I get low on a weapon I see to have 5 more to replace it.

the next 2 characters you pick up have weapons that are not as common.

Does anyone know anything about the Extra Contents option on the beginning screen? I have apparently unlocked a Bonus Chapter. When you highlight it, Ledah says "The dark region of chaos...". Pressing start brings up Chapter 8: The Underworld. Are these complete new stories to play in the game? If so, wow! The only reason I can think of so far as to why I unlocked this was getting The Key to Hell. When looking at the description to the key to hell it says "It opens the door of Parveeju Temple, which leads to Hell. *Chapter 8

Anybody else found unlockable content yet? I refuse to play the extra chapters till I finish the game. Kinda confused about all this.

apparently the bonus chapter is just a lame boss battle with fixed characters and weapons. also, be aware that to unlock the other extras you need to find certain items in the game, some of which are not obvious at all. i'm still annoyed that i missed the item that displays your high scores. grr.
