aka the great game above, which my profile set is based on! For me, it's a life-changing game with great characters and a wonderful story [no puns intended]. Have any of you guys played this game, or planned to play it? If you haven't yet, you should. It's a must-have in any game collection, and that's not even from biased-talk. The game play is unique, literally one of the most thought-out systems out there. It uses every single feature of the DS system, including the microphone and L+R buttons, the touch screen, even the select button from time to time. It's also one of the best games to play that you can beat, yet still have tons to do after you finish the story line, and one of the great things is that it's a game of personal customization. What do you guys think of it?

Just watched the game trailer. This looks great, and I've actually been looking for some cool DS games since I don't have the 3DS. What's the combat system like? I didn't really understand everything that was happening in the trailer.

I remember when this came out. I was pumped to get it, but never got around to it. Maybe I should break out the ds!

The combat system is dual-screened, as you may have seen in the trailer. You work with a partner on the top with either the control pad or the A/B/X/Y buttons (depending on your dominant hand--I'm a lefty player, so I use A/B/X/Y buttons) while you control Neku, the main character, on the bottom with the stylus. Neku and the partner pass back and forth what's called the light puck--you might have seen a green flashy circle around them in the battle scenes of the trailer? When a partner lands a combo attack, that puck passes to the other partner. For example, Neku finishes a one-hit type of attack--the puck passes to his partner. (He could also do a two-hit type of attack, and the finisher would be the second attack). His partner reaches the final hit of their combo attack--the puck passes back to Neku. The puck amplifies/strengthens your combo finisher attack's power each time it's passed. That's the very basic of the controls. You learn a lot more as you go. A lot. But it'll get pretty simple. It might take a while to get used to the double-character control if you get into it, but there's an option to put your partner on auto (the game does it for you) so you only have to focus on Neku, and there's also the option of just mindlessly mashing the control pad or A/B/X/Y buttons for the partner to move, which works perfectly well too. If the combat system still feels confusing though, you should start the fighting by focusing on controlling whoever is holding the puck and switching screen-focus when it passes. I'm only talking about the puck to explain the combat system because whenever anyone starts out, the dual-screen seems to be the most overwhelming and this is how to make it less complicated. (Also because I know the game so well I can't really simplify it any better without it still being understood honestly lmfao)
And you should definitely break out the DS if you never got to get it before! It's such a great game. Did I mention there's a sort of co-op feature on it? It almost slipped my mind but we could all add each other (granted my DS'll connect...I haven't established that yet welp) and play the mini game on it!
