    I scored a copy of psp1 to tide me over.

    Only one GS in area had a used copy. That'll tide me over.

    Yeah I expect it to be. But the game only has to hold me until psp2 releases so I figure it won't be an issue. Plus this way I can say I've played all the phantasy stars as I never got around to universe.

    Can't break the chain.

    I'm thinking a Hunter and Ranger.

    Force is fun, but I think you only get 2 slots, so no FO for me.

    I'm thinking Braver, a.k.a. the Red Mage. Dabbles with everything, and gives support where needed. Second choice is a toss-up between Hunter and Ranger.

    Only 2 slots? You can carry a wand and a casting mag and have 4, then carry a staff with two and hold R for two more, then carry two sets of guns and a sword + casting mag.

    If you mean character slots, you get 4, last I checked

    How does it handle spells though? Because I remember being pretty angry at how they handled spells in PSU. It was too difficult to get them at any kind of decent level. And then they were total meanies and made it so that if you wanted Megid you needed 99 of whatever those things you got for beating S rank levels were.

    I'm pretty sure that they are leveling up as I use them more, much like the other techs. I'm not completely sure though, since it's in Japanese and all

    I can't imagine they'd up and change the entire PA/Tech system that's been in PSU for this game. Sure, it was more simple in PSO, but it was infinitely more abusable.

    I just wish with the success PSP1/2 seems to be having they'd make PSU on the 360 FTP. Every now and then I still want to log on and play for a bit but I'm not paying $10/mo for it anymore.

    I was talking about character slots. The demo only has 2 available, so I wasn't sure.

    Techs are now handled PSO style with discs. No more having to spam moves over and over and over to get them leveled up.

    Yeah, if they did that I'd play it. I didn't have a 360 when it first came out but now I do, and just in case I already downloaded Ambitions since it's free.

    Yeah, with AotI free now, it's baffling that the game itself still has a subscription.

    Shit, I wouldn't care if they just removed the lobbies and made it a client hosted game like the portable ones are.

    Oh ho HO, you PSP son of a bitch! First you shut down on me trying to open the update file, which it always does for some reason, and now it says my battery level is too low! So this might take a while.

    How much room does it need actually? I've never downloaded a PSP demo before. Because my memory stick isn't exactly a 50 gig or anything. If I deleted the monster hunter data I could get like 3 gigs of room.

    I am, but I think Glenn is in the same zone as you? Anyway the full game is gonna rock. Pretty hard. All you people should go download the demo. And then join us because your demo character transfers and we can start off all amazing and super strong.

    Well it also doesn't help that the translation is so wonderful for the TOS that it says "Press O to continue" and doing that actually sends you back. You're supposed to press X.

    THE DEMO FOR THIS IS SO AWESOME.

    I am now drooling over the thought of if they were to bring it to an HD console/PC; but that'll do pig, that'll do.
