    Buy a bunch of herbs, have your hero on full-time healing duty, have Yangus Psyche Up to 50 tension and attack.

    You shouldn't need to be at a higher level than you are, though that's obviously another way to approach the problem.

    Yeah, that is why I mentioned it may be a glitch - I have sold around 400 and they are all selling for $88.... it never drops in price. Everything else does, but the strong medicine never does.

    Yes, just nit picking, but when you run the poofs if dirty do not appear and the sounds when walking over bridges is gone in this version too.

    I just finished up the argonian hunting grounds at just shy of 30 hours. I've gotten the impression that I should be more around 40 or 50 at this point. Is that time about right or am I rushing?

    I've just killed the boss in the first dungeon and gave the guy his 'item' back.

    I'm enjoying it but I'm still finding myself fighting the damn camera controls most of the time. I'm current level 8 and just heading to a new town.

    I think I was right in there with you - there are some side quests that can take some time- biggest one is finding good monsters for the Monster arena - the prizes are pretty good, so it is worth putting time into this. Also, if you are a completionist - you will looking high and low all over the place for those rare, out of the way treasure chests - unless you are spamming holy protection you will be getting into lots and lots and lots of fights -all of which take a lot of time. There are also some bosses that are extremely difficult if you are a lower level than what you "should be" and if you are getting walloped, you will be making up some time getting into battles to level up...

    For a first-time player, I think the English PS2 version is hands-down the better one. Playing through again, I appreciate all the ways the mobile version cuts down on things that slow the experience down, like waiting on the alchemy pot or extra loading times from graphical menus and voices.

    New to kq my take

    Have most if the top RPGs in the ap store.
    Bardstale, Bg1, bg2, etc just finished bhl.

    So that's what I'm coming from..

    I've just cleared the waterfall boss and off to Alexandria..

    So, my quick take is this is great fun! A little tweekie on the camera but with a little experience it works out fine..

    I'm really enjoying the story and the character dialog.

    So Not knowing the va or the other sound track isn't an issue..

    Just my.02

    Wow. I'm only about 25 hours in, but I had no idea you could change the hero's appearance like that. Awesome! Can't wait to find out when. Man, I love this game.

    Ps2 version runs at 30fps and has voice acting,it's the better version hands down.

    It's not running at hd at all,It's running at native 480p of the ps2 version.It seems that way because of the small screen of iphone and ipad's pump it out to a tv and you'll know.

    If I remember, it was mentioned that the character models got a facelift, backed by the fact that the character models weren't cel-shaded in the PS2 version. The background is definitely the same though.

    I'm not knocking the game but speaking personally it was a bad purchase and I've not got even close to getting my money's worth out of it.

    I got as far as killing the first dungeon boss and then heading to the town after.
    I've stopped playing because the camera controls were driving me crazy and I just could not get used to it, seemed like I was fighting with it all the time. :(

    I know this game is a superb rpg, if only it supported my icade, I think it would be a lot easier to play.
