I'm also fairly certain you only need to use EITHER L or R to target an enemy before starting a battle, and having the two targetting buttons makes it easier to select the right enemy without having to shuffle through them all in turn as on the nunchuck.
How is this different than the remote? You press left and right on the d-pad to select enemies.

Well this isn't a fighting game, so even though I think the Classic Controller Pro is the best option, you can play and enjoy the game just with the nunchuck + wiimote.

I initially played it with the wiimote but after fighting with the camera controls a bit, not bad but enough to make me try the classic controller, I never went back to the wiimote. CCP all the way.

Apparently you can get multiples of items from the same person through trading. I hadn't ever tried to trade with the same person twice, so I hadn't ever noticed. That could have saved me a ton of time in a couple sidequests :lol: . Between trading and Colony 6 "special" areas there might not actually be any missable items.

Does anyone know how to level up shulk's monado arts past beginner? I'm all the way to Eryth Sea and still have found out how.

I'm thinking maybe there might be some advanced arts manuals hidden in quests for the other characters. not sure though :/

You're not far off being able to do that.

I don't mind if someone answers this, maybe spoiler tag it for others though? But anyways, just kind of simply wondering if Colony 9 and eventually 6 are basically the only main big cities in the game? I honestly wouldn't mind that... so I think that'd take off some overwhelming tension with all the quests, lol. Whenever I go back to Colony 9 it's like I keep getting more quests and completing a ton.

I think if there's more big cities, it might be a little tedious and overwhelming.

Huh... speaking of tension, how does that exactly work again? Just got some gems for it now too.

Everything I know about tension I learned from my cat tutorial.

If the monado arts still aren't selectable for upgrading, IIRC, you haven't advanced far enough in the story. Though at the Eryth Sea, I coulda sworn that some arts were upgradable by that point.
