When Square Enix says they're having a sale on PC games, what they really mean is Eidos is having a sale on PC games.

Ok so I got the megaman battle network 5 double team for ds and unlimited red for vita. Both are great games. I think I better put both of them down because I want to replay megaman 1-4 before 5 and I want to see some of the characters join in the crew before I play much more of unlimited red. Unlimited red though vaguely makes me think of gravity rush....don't know why(maybe it's the graphics right now and some of the fighting...still fun though :D )

It took me something like 20 retries to get the right combination of attacks that hit plus the NPCs that show up midway through being useful plus knife work as I dodge to kill him and I'm gasping as I go through the end level in-game cutscene (but fortunately they didn't have me die during it if I took too much bad air exposure). Frustrating as hell, but such a feeling of accomplishment at the end.
Are you talking about the mantis boss? Because I had no filters or ammo on him (or her) myself. I did find out that jumping in the water does reset your "air meter" so I was able to get through that battle by just jumping in the water a bunch of times.

It is basically the "job" system found in other Final Fantasy games (and, to a certain extent, some of the Dragon Quest games). If you enjoy the level of customization provided by that system, I suggest you try:

Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy V
Dragon Quest III
Dragon Quest IX

Final Fantasy IX had a similar system using equipment to learn abilities. Similarly, Lost Odyssey has a system where some of your characters can learn abilities from party members who gain natural abilities.

FFIX actually used a similar system with its character abilities. It is more reined-in than in FFVI, but it's functionally quite similar.
