I barely got enough money to get a new member but not enough for the room. I feel like I should just restart and not choose a glass cannon as my first teammate, lol.
I don't have any on. I mean Mars basically 2HKOs me at this point.
I'm just wondering if I'm missing something besides grind more
Ah pay for a room only dont need to buy a person first. As when you rent a new room it comes with a character already.
The 500G fee is for once you fill up all rooms and want to make your 3 extra characters, really. Focus should be on filling all 4 rooms first. Or should I say 3 since you already had your first unlocked for free.
These types of games are stats based, which means generally if you are getting roflstomped that yeah you most def need to lv up.
Somewhat off topic but Labyrinth Crossblood Infinity is getting an "Ultimate" re-release in Japan. It has the latest patch on the cart and also some new character portraits. Seems to be some kind of save transfer with the upcoming Operation Abyss as well. I mention it here because it shows that 5pb is at doing something with an older game, and might bode well for a possible localization of other Experience games.
It's a nice way of network connectivity having people leave some useful and pointless hints.
Especially useful telling me where Mars is otherwise I would have been too terrified to actually use any of the gem spots or died multiple times over and over.

Odd Ill have to look that up. Im guessing it will be similar to what they did with the PC version which had an updated re-release that include new portraits and such.
My guess for OA you will get bonus items perhaps when you start the game if you have existing data.

Since I think this wasn't answered, 180K is the number of copies shipped worldwide, both retail sales and digital downloads included. IMO that's a pretty impressive number for a dungeon RPG, especially since it's a new IP and on Vita.
Yes it is. Though personally it would be better if they bring Tokyo New World Record over first since has the art style to ride on the popularity of demon gaze.
Granted the updated character art in the "new" version of cross blood will also have it but its not the whole game based off of that art style.
The setting will be pretty much the same so would be odd if they released both in the US. Unless they actually already have it in the works. Though would be a waste considering that we have the new version down the pipe.
So healing staff double item is a little broken early game. I gazer stomped Chrono with just a healer support. Wish I had this for the goblin king fight.

41 hours in and right at the end of the game. Went to load up my save file and got an error message saying the game (as well as all my other games) were corrupt. Was told to reboot the Vita so I did that. All my games are fine and other save files seem okay. Except for my Demon Gaze file unfortunately...
At any rate I really enjoyed my time with the game. Some of the bosses that recovered a big chunk of health every few turns were pretty annoying but other than that this is a really solid game. Also my first time playing a first person dungeon crawler like this. What would be other go to dungeon crawlers I should check out later when I have more free time? Etrian Odyssey has always jumped out to me as one I'd like to check out but I'm not sure of what others might be good to look into.
Fought Cronos this morning and it was a little bit ugly. Hiding in the back row and only giving me about 2-3 turns of attacks before summoning new minions and hiding in the back again.
That was a war of attrition that I lost.
All of my healer's mp and all healing items used. I have barely enough money to rent out a new room so I might try bringing a wizard to the next fight and see how that turns out.

The Etrian Odyssey 3ds games will feel like you've jumped 30 years into the future compared to the garbage UI and systems in Demon Gaze. I would definitely recommend them.
Impulse ordered this online. Seems good fun and I love a good dungeon crawler Have a backlog big enough to crush a man but this atleast I will be able to play on my daily commute.

Doesn't look very impressive to me mostly just has the bottom screen littered with little buttons and the top screen has exactly the same options laid out in almost the same way. So why do you think it is the superior system? Is it the number of menus to navigate is reduced or simplified?
Ive never played either of those games since they looked bad, but Demon Gaze is dos 486 pc quality UI. You can't see stat changes while viewing equipment and there are weird acronyms for everything, some of which are not even explained in the help or manual

You see the stats on the equipment and since nothing in Demon Gaze adds free stat points the only adjustment to stats will come from weapon changes. I am not certain what you are complaining about.

Gear can add stats, and the game should show you the difference in armor/hit/etc instead of lazily showing you the gear you have on. Sorry that you're hurt about people "complaining" about a game you bought. You sound as defensive as the people salty over the mediocre reviews.
I got a Katar that has "Poison" on the abilities screen. Zero explanation what that means. Also, weapons that are 1HND I understand, but what the hell is SPRT supposed to mean. Its just a sloppy game unfortunately, covered by lewd material.
Really your going to start on that shit? Why are you being to hostile to everyone? I don't agree that the UI is lazy. I agree that they didn't do the best job of explaining abbreviations and stats but I don't see this giant difference between this and EO that you are seeing.

Only being hostile to the developer for shoddy work. The portraits/artwork are the only quality work in the game, everything else is pretty ugly looking.
Japanese Wizardry clones tend to be more obtuse than they could be. (So were the games they are modeled after, but those came with thick manuals you were expected to read. It sounded like the original Japanese Demon Gaze had one of those too, but we missed out on it.)
It's never been a problem to me since I'm fine with reading up material from GameFAQs before starting a game, but I can understand a lot of people don't want to go through the same trouble. I've never cared so much for Etrian Odyssey, but it does smooth some things over. For my own tastes there are much better gridders than EO, even though they have a bigger initial threshold.
At this point of the game I shouldn't be having this question, so forgive me for being ignorant. This issue only came to my attention when I added a fifth party member. During battle, the top three of my party were labeled "Attack" with the bottom two labeled "Defend", where the bottom two weren't able to attack at all, despite having weapons equipped. Can anyone tell me why that is? And now for some reason only position 1 can "Attack", and the bottom four party members can only "Defend", which makes me think I did something really wrong, lol. I can't fight for long like this *_*
Started playing a couple days ago, this game is taking up way too much of my time.
So far I'm enjoying the difficulty. It's not super hard but it feels like the game is giving you just enough to survive boss encounters, no more and no less. I usually scrape through the random(?) first encounters with the Demons by the skin of my teeth, and almost certainly die when I fight them proper at the end of the stage for the first time.
I'm currently in
Hermes
territory, and just got wrecked by
getting swallowed by a treasure chest (mimic boss??). I thought I could get through it, but it got the best of my party
.
Undid at least 40 minutes of grinding and exploration *_*. What a bastard.

I disagree. I think everything looks, sounds and plays great.
Before this came out I was mostly going back and forth between Elminage and Unchained Blades though.
In another note about EO, I loved the DS games but the 3DS games rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe some of the simplicity was lost in the transition or maybe it's the missing FM tunes... I don't know what it was but they fell flat for me.

My best guess is that it depends on the range of your weapons. Swords, axes, maces can only hit stuff from the front row. While bows and throwing weapons can be wielded from the back row.
Superflat you need to check where you placed the characters there are two rows a front and back. To attack from back you need a medium to long range weapon.

I don't have a problem with you disliking the game, not everyone likes the same things... But maybe you could accept the fact that others can genuinely like the game even if you don't?

The only thing I didn't like about EO compared to most other dungeon-crawlers was the manual map icon mechanic. I'm way too lazy to do all of that myself. >.>"

Hmm, just gave a bunch of my party long bows to test out if it would work, but everyone except for my Gazer is still stuck in Defend mode in battles :T

You mean like switching between Set A and Set B gear using the select button? I'm pretty sure I have the correct set highlighted for use. I just swapped gear in and out of Set A, so I haven't messed with it. Or do I need it to be in Set B to make it work for some reason?

Yeah, it always surprises me how enthusiastic people are about that feature. I remember the time when you had to draw your own maps and I thought it was a massive improvement to have automapping. It was always boring busywork for me. Different strokes, I guess.

Have a backlog big enough to crush a man but this atleast I will be able to play on my daily commute.
