Some brats calling themselves the black orchids stole my wallet but I hadn't done anything important before then and I didn't feel like chasing after them so I just loaded from my last save again. Does anyone know if you get anything good for chasing after them? Syrenne and Lowell are funny characters and it was funny when I got Elza to peek in at Kanan and Syrenne in the bath.

racist

Not really seeing as I'm English myself :3

As an American, I salute you @Willierz. What am I saying? I'm not even patriotic.

Ahahaha! Thanks!
But that said, I know a lot of people say that 'British' accents enhance the European fantasy sort of style, but in my opinion there's nothing less fantastical than accents I hear day in day out on the TV anyway.

ANYWAY, this game is amazing and that's all the matters!

being racist against yourself is something that has somehow actually happened before, point still stands.

The story and characters do feel rather cliched at times especially when (AFAIK) Syrenne is the only one of the 7 main characters who didn't lose at least one of her parent's at a young age but that doesn't mean the rest of the cast acts all depressing all the time or anything as I'm finding the cast very likable and the story is still very well executed though and has some memorably heartwarming cutscenes like the one with Elza and Kanan watching the meteor shower and SPOILERS? when you see Yuris smile for the first time after he reads the letters his father left behind.

Can anybody help me with the Kraken boss fight? I'm having a lot of trouble with that fight, especially with the vertical slices are essential for the fight and I can't always get Elza to run up walls.

was really stuck on that boss spoiler following

Once I level grinded a bit I got a new technique can't remember the name but it was essentially the same as FF's haste spell, once your gauge fills up press up on the D-pad to bring up the commands with the haste type move the boss became much easier.

I'm having trouble deciding upon either purchasing a copy of, "The Last Story," or saving the $50 towards the balance of purchasing a 3DS. What do you guys think about my delema?

Thanks, I'll try level grinding then. Chapter 25 is an annoying chapter to have to level grind in. The sea Reptids are so annoying with the sticky stuff they keep spitting.

If no one knew. This game is coming to US. It was revealed in the upcoming Nintendo Power. http://www.nintendopower.com/

The Last Story is a good game, and well worth the money if you decide to buy it.
However, if skipping it (for now at least) means you'll be able to get yourself a 3DS sooner, then that could be a good plan as the 3DS is an awesome little system with some great games already, and with more great games on the way.

I still can't beat the Kraken after level grinding. I use a tactic that I heard where I go into the tentacles guarding with gathering activated and then kill them all at once with burst when it gets to max. before the head of the Kraken emerges and I use the vertical slice but something annoying is that the aiming reticle for the vertical slice doesn't always reach the Kraken so I just aim it as close as possible but me and my comrades all still die eventually.

I used the same tactic and it worked much better today and I was able to beat it!

I'm having some trouble with another boss. I think its called the sentinel beast, Mitra. Can anyone help with this?

Sorry, Americans, looks like you'll have to wait even longer as the 10th July is your new release date.

Jay for being a Brit.
We got it in February:P

Soz for putting salt in the wound.

The boss fight in chapter 38 was awesome! His insane ramblings created some great quotes and the boss theme was brilliantly fitting too.
"I’m going to stab you… about a thousand times. Then I’m going to rip your entrails out. Then I’m going to cut you up, rend you limb from limb until you’re unrecognizable… Until you are nothing but a bloody stain on my boot!!!"
"Zael. Kill Kill Kill Kill KillkillkillKIllkILLkillehahAh­aHahAaha!!"
"OHHHH MUMMY!" "NOOO I’ve been a good boy mummy!"
"WEheEheAhhahAha!!!" "Zaels’ been teasing me mummy. So has Calista and the count and EVERYONE!!!"
"Thank you for a gorgeous time".
