[PS2] Odin Sphere - Hot sex from Atlus

I'm actually having a lot of poor response issues with the controls as well, especially when attempting to get an item like Napalm out. Sometimes I have to press O twice or three times before it shows up (and it takes a moment to show up) and by that time the bad guy is already striking at me, making it impossible to use an item on him in time. It's pretty annoying.

Other than that, the game is incredible so far. Beautiful art, lots of depth, great voice acting both English and Japanese, pretty good music, and so far the story seems really interesting as well. Lovely stuff.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Basically what I do now is I run around to the other side of the map before healing. That's usually good enough, but if you want to use something like napalm timing is essential, so in cases like that it's a little annoying that the controls don't always respond as well as they should. I'm getting pretty used to the delay by now, taking a kind of zen approach to it.

It's a pretty minor issue, but it's definitely a flaw. I suppose I should've expected that, but somehow I expected everything to be perfect. I mean, it's not far off.

I thought the first boss was pretty tough, but I didn't die. I had to use a bunch of berries and bread though! I kind of want to go back and do it again and get better scores, but the story is so interesting that really want to know how it continues as well. It's been a long time since I was so gripped by a game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
