Awesome! I was hoping (and expecting) you, specifically, would be into this series.
I'm pretty interested in getting down and dirty with this one. I hated the Disgaea series but was really into Tactics Ogre (did you know I made the most popular Tactics Ogre forum on the net when I was about 14?? Go ahead, google it)
Anyway, I can't seem to find much helpful stuff besides GameFaqs for J. Since there's so many in the series it makes it hard to find guides for the mechanics on specific games.
So far I've found out that the 3 'favorite series' you pick at the beginning boost the respective units. Since i don't know jack about most of the series included, I picked the Banpresto Originals (seemed like a smart choice for a newbie) and the two series I'd never heard of: Tekkaman Blade and Blue Comet SPT. Hopefully this wasn't a retarded choice-- I figured it didn't matter that much
What do the terrain type letter initials stand for? Are they rated with 'A' being strong?
There's also some weird letter 'tabs' in green or yellow next to weapon/attack names on my units, I don't know what they mean
It doesn't seem like there's a way to farm for EXP or money. I'm wondering if this means that money is finite and if I should be very careful with unit upgrades? I assume I'll get some way stronger mecha later on, so I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't upgrade my initial units now, aside from the one I chose at the beginning.
How come sometimes I'm not given the ability to attack on a unit's turn, even though my EN bar is full?
Whew, thats it for now I think...
I'm used to playing TRPGs conservatively cuz all the games in the genre I like have pretty punishing counter attack implementations which has made me a bit of a snake against the CPU
but not a master. I sweat bullets with these games !
