    Wow the first iDevice game to feature an anime opening cutscene, and truly the only RPG after Chaos Rings that offers a console RPG experience. The opening cutscene reminds me of Tales of Symphonia, and one of the scenes (the male character swinging a blunt weapon) is almost identical to the part where Presea Combatir swings her axe against the golems. I've only played for 20min and so far the game is near-perfect, from the soundtrack that rivals Chaos Rings or the script, or the fact you can actually talk to the non-important NPCs and they say something other than the "hi" or "good day!" stuff from games like Inotia or Zenonia.

    Well, just took the plunge and bought it now that the update is out. It seems like it's going to be great, and I'm a big fan of RPG's like this anyways.

    finally decided on Crimson Gem Saga - though I might still pick up Chaos Rings in the next little bit before it goes off sale.

    Edit - bought CR, couldn't not buy it :p

    Second Edit - hmm, can't decide which to start first. Can't really start playing until tomorrow anyhow :p

    Atlus sucks except for the SMT series.

    Doesn't look like the update fixed the bronze medallion bug. :(

    Haven't had a chance to put the updated game through it's paces, but here's a few things I've noticed:

    • Menus feel less jittery. They haven't changes radically, but they seem easier to use.

    • Don't have any medallions to try, but the Killian Heal bug is fixed

    • Surpringly, the game actually looks better -- you can't really see the overlaps on the sprites, and I could't really find any tile seams in the monastery dungeon.

    I'll report further later tonight.

    Just went to an old save and tried the bronze medallion. Works for me.

    Yeah but when i spend 9.99 for a game, that's fairly broken, mo, I expect to see more than fixed some bug. :/

    Why not a full patch log? How am I suppose to know what has been fixed?

    The dev actually listed the fixes on this thread a few pages back.

    Hmmm. Just tried again, and I'm trapped in the skills section like before, only able to move between Killian and Spinel.

    I have 17 bronze medallions, and only 6 skills to spend them on.

    It costs 3 times more for PSP for the exact same game. All this game needs is bug fix and interface tweaks, the content is already there.

    All medallions appear to work properly now. Can we get a "Hallelujah" for a Level 5 Final Judgment on Acelora? I think I'll have another go at the final boss with this!

    How come? The game has loads of content, beautiful graphics etc. What more to expect? It just need some minor interface tweaks!
