hard to tell what kind is good, there's no standard for read/write access speed testing is there? they just put class 4 class 6 or whatever on their cards. anyone have reccomendations? preferably through experience lol.

class is for guaranteed minimum write speed.
so a class 4 will be guaranteed capable of writing 4MB/s while class 6 is at least 6MB/s.
as it's a minimum it is possible for a class 4 to have faster write speed than a class 6.

does any1 have the bug where whatever item u find is always a blank medallion..? i can't get past the beginning lol. the sword isn't there i can't leave the cabin.

 

[Taichi24]

^ Never heard of that bug. Must be something wrong with your ROM or a strange case of AP

 

[Sylar1]

Thanks for the spoiler jin....... ********

 

[Leamonde.Halcyon]

That is a strange bug.

I am so happy I have an AK 2.1 the game works beautifully. Not a bug, not a glitch, not a black or white screen.

so rom/game troubles aside, how about some actual game discussion? I've managed to play about 7-8 hours worth already. What I can say so far is that the psyenergy and turn-based combat is pretty much the same. Collecting Djinn seems rather quick, I'm level 17 and I have about 12-15 Djinn now.

Puzzle wise, those of you who like puzzles will really love this game, it's got plenty. Really a great game to use your imagination on

, it's really pretty and imagining everything as it happens, you know the revival of advanced ancient civilizations, it's pretty fun

.

The graphics bug me a little bit, but I suppose that's part of the targeted audience; that is, to say that, you are, afterall playing as Isacc and Garett's kids...The graphics are nice, but overall the game kinda feels like it's been a little watered down difficulty wise, I haven't had any trouble staying alive. Kinda betrays the traditional RPG w/ it's difficulty settings, hoping there's a hard-mode that you can play after you complete the game.

I'm really enjoying the game, so far, for what it is. So far though, it really makes me want to do a complete play through of the series, (The Lost Age seemed pretty perfect as far as difficulty went). Feels like Camelot went out of their way to hold your hand through just about every part of the way... Yeah, so just some thoughts. Enjoy guys.

I agree it feels a little easier than I would have liked, but overall the puzzles and nostalgic battle systems make it very enjoyable. The graphics for me make it feel like a 3-D version of the slightly cartoony sprites of the original. Quite nice, IMO. The story is interesting so far, too and the emotion response choice is fun

I finished the game when the Japanese one was released, extra quests and all. Take the game slow, make sure to look out for specific items in the artifacts section. Many things are missable. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. I'm just waiting for an AP patch now, so I know wtf the story is. For the record there are 18 djinn per element, you might want to check out the djinn guide on GameFAQ's helped me a lot, I got all of them

They should have added some text to accompany those emoticons when a character asks you something. There wasn't hardly any questions asked to your character that weren't rhetorical in TBS and TLA.

This game has the longest intro ever....

 

[Breith]

Like the two first game...

'Remember myself, 12 or 13 years old, in my bed, read, read and still read line after line of this fuckin' intro thinking angrily : "damn game, I wanna play !".

Edit. Erf, sorry.

Yeah, I was around 12 or 13 then too. Now'a'days I'm perfectly satisfied just listening to the introduction music & so on. Truly a wide range of music
