This game is really hard. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is good but the difficulty is up there. I don't mind replaying a section a few times but I'm not looking forward to repeating sections of the game multiple times. This is the one game you wish there was a codebreaker or game shark for the PS3.

Do you at least get Health potions? The only way I'll be buying this game is if Atlus releases a patch to give you an option for a lower difficulty.

There are herbs that can restore health, magic, and remove status effects. It's not like the game is flat out impossible.

The game autosaves after EVERYTHING you do. Which is good and bad. The NPC's (including people who sell weapons, upgrade weapons, and even the person that levels you up) can die if you hit them by mistake. Do that and you'll either have to deal with it or start the game over. There's no loading an old save. If/when you die, you'll restart the level with all the items and quantities you had when you died.

Wow. I love the game but I don't think I'd rate it quite that high. One thing I think it's lacking is variety in armor and weapons. There are some choices but they're pale in comparison to a game like Oblivion or Fallout.

Just picked this up. I'd compare the difficulty with that of Ninja Gaiden for the original X-Box. Its not necessarily cheap, it just punishes you for screwing around or getting lazy.

And this is another copy protected save (sigh) so you can't make a backup in case of a mistake or a system failure. Copy protected saves can kiss my ass.

Trohies and save files are already attached to your PSN name so that isn't possible. If you load someone else's save file it will tell you that you cannot get trophies in that particular game while using that file.

Oh, I didn't know that. Then I have no idea why they protect save files...

If anyone ordered the deluxe edition from amazon, apparently there was a brief $9 price drop on the release date. Meaning, the pre-order price guarantee still covers it (through end of release day). This is all according to CAG. But I wrote in and was able to receive a $9 refund.

No, they can't join while your in the Nexus (place where you level up, buy magic, and items). There are random vendors in levels but other players can't hurt them. They can, however, try to trick you into hitting them by staying close to them hoping you'll swing and hit the vendor instead. So if someone invades your world, make sure you're in an area without any vendors or NPC's around.

This game kicks all kinds of ass.
Seeing those ghosts run around? The visuals and the gameplay? Hell the whole game design...
What a freaking blast!

At level 85 and about 40 hours in, I'm almost done with my first play-through. What an amazing game. What makes it even more amazing is the fact that there's virtually no story. You're basically told at the beginning that you have to save the world and that's it. The game is completely driven by the addictive game play. I'm looking forward to starting a new game +.

Ill get this when I find it at the $15 mark.
I REALLY dont like that invading other peoples game idea. I dont want no life loser dicks coming on just to kill me and fuck up my game. Is there a way to turn it off?

Is everyone else seeing the 'recommend my hint' stuff like all over?
Granted I like getting recommended and getting the health, but the spamming gets nothing from me.

I'm on a wired connection, so I plan to disconnect If i ever play this game. I'm guessing you can turn your wi fi off if you're wireless.

Also, I don't think you'll ever see this game at $15. Like most Atlus games, it's in very short supply. I would imagine this will be a game that has used copies being expensive a year from now.
