I had tried this game before, but the craziness of the two screen battle thing turned me off. I've just ended up setting it to auto play from the beginning, has anyone else done this? I'm afraid this might come back and bite me in the butt. I really wish that you could chain battles earlier, especially after I learned you could, died, and then had to go through the whole "grind until you get certain pins" again. I hate also how you had to talk to someone before you could polish Hachiko, I found myself just tapping the hell out of the screen thinking my original DS touchscreen had finally broken after years of Elite Beat Agents.
I thought that the game was going to be incredibly short until I saw your posts about week 2 and 3. Also, I really hate every last bit of audio in this game, I just can't get used to the voice acting during battles, the general soundtrack, and the weird laughs of the characters that just pop up sometimes into the endless talking.
But despite my gripes with the game, it is a lot of fun. I really like the mechanic of leveling up while you don't play it. It made me think about the discussion about how games are easier to play when you come back. I gotta play some more though, I just finished Day 4 Week 1.
Did anyone else notice a person when scanning whose thought bubble says "Oendon!" and then goes on to talk about how their school needs some sweet cheer leading outfits? I got a kick out of that.
