Hohum, haven't finished the game yet. Still have to finish Reinforce and Shamal routes. Anyway, I really miss Reinforce playing this. I mean, I like Rein, but Reinforce is awesome, too.
The story is a bit meh from what I understand, but it's the characters that make it fun to read. Most of the time. I kept falling asleep doing Chrono's route. Dark Piece Hayate is really cool, too. T_T;Do they have the box thing in their avatar when you start up Story Mode? 'cause for some reason, I couldn't do Fate → Chrono → Signum to unlock Material-L, yet I could do Vita → Nanoha → Zafira for Material-S. Ended up having to re-do Chrono after completing Signum's route. -w-;

Time to spam my Yellow Machismo knowledge, OOOH YEAH, DIGG IT!!!!
Hayate was the first story mode I finished and she's okay. No far distance bind is a downside, but a watered down white Divine Buster makes up for it a little. I love Ragnarok Breaker. The computer for some reason can make her summon a ball of purple energy up, which I still can't figure out how to work. Circle-Close Range capture is funny, as she sucks the opponent into her book and releases them, lol. Hayate talks so heavily in Kansai-ben that I thought Sakuya was in the game instead of her(I don't remember if she had that heavy an accent in A's though). Reinforce is probably my favorite character of the game(besides Hayate), MP Gain like crazy and she is awesome with close combat. Not to mention the Diabolic Rasengan! > The story is definitely a little more interesting than Hayate, defense is amazing. Shamal is also a very interesting character to use, Triangle-Wind Barrier is freaking broken, it can even soak up a Nanoha Divine Buster and if she's stupid enough to run into it, it damages too. Tornado spam, etc. The Full Drive is definitely interesting, suck the Linker Core out and destroy it, lol.(Which should disable their ability to use magic, right? o_O) Chrono probably has the second fastest bind aside from Nanoha, but the bad thing is aside from charged Seeker shot(Square), which doesn't do that much damage, it's only good for rushing Chrono in to use his EX Drive attack. Signum is average, her capture from far away is pretty good, not much more. To be frank, as much as I like Fate, she is slow, and I mean REALLY slow. Haken saber is the way to go with her, Thunder Rage Bind is okay. Accel Loader is supposed to make up for her being able to move fast, but it is still kind of slow compared to Nanoha's ability to spam Divine Busters. Havn't played with Dark Hayate yet though. As of right now, I have a Blue box on the bottom right of Signum and Chrono. I have a gray box on the bottom right of Hayate, Reinforce, and Shamal. I unlocked Dark Hayate, so I figured the boxes meant completed story modes. To test this, I redid Fate's Story Mode, but I still didn't unlock Material L. This thread title should be changed to Official Nanoha Game Thread so we have a thread to discuss all future games, including MBA. Time to wait for my Lyrical Box. (EDIT: Also waiting for the Fate PSP Accesory set, ) Oh, and the Opening is Silent Bible by Mizuki Nana. Last edited by goombas; 2010-01-28 at 00:18. |

So the characters without a box are ones I have to redo in order to get a box and the boxes lined up mean you unlock the Material character for the column?
Also, is there a difference to the color of the box, like the far right row is all gray and the middle is like all blue? |

I don't think I lost at all, though. Actually, I don't think I started to use FDBs until my fourth try at Story Mode with Hayate. >___>

Edit: Seems like i was wrong and it is not losing a round before stage 3 and 5 for the extra enemies. My game or memory must have been glitchy. Also Shamal´s story mode is a chore.

Exactly how many characters are there supposed to be, including secret unlockable ones? What are the controls, system etc.? I can't figure out what the site is telling me.
Will this have an English translation, or is it No Export For You again?

Funny thing about Shamal, is that a charged triangle button does nice damage, and with pressing circle button you place yourself in the exact rangea of the attack, and you can avoid pretty much everything by using the non-charged triangle button. Add Chrono´s Drive Ex-C and she is a moster. Though you should use Zafira´s Auto-Guard because she has no loving defense. It actually sounds like i have an idea on what i am talking about.

L: Full drive, Full drive attack. R: Guard Square, Circle, Triangle: Attack X: Dash And you have to range, short and large. Attacks and tecniques change and all that. Fun when you change yopur mentality from "how do i not get defeated?" to "let´s see how fast i can kill them =D" Quote:

I think No Export For You is highly likely, at this point. Considering how badly A's and the first season sold in USA, I doubt the company that licensed and dubbed it will go through the trouble of creating an English translation for the game.

Material L's accent isn't thick at all, seems more normal than Hayate. o_o Why does everyone keep complaining about Shamal? She is easy to use, probably because I keep soaking up Nanoha's Divine Busters with the far away Triangle-Wind Shield. |

Thanks for the combo list.
I see what you mean by Dark Piece Hayate. I meant material-D at first, lol. With close range Shamal, you cna't do it. Spam maybe two tornados with square, then go in close and EX Attack or just continue with square spam. |

has anyone tried downloading the DLmagazine Digital Nanoha from the PS Store yet? i've tried inputting the code given with the game, but i'm getting nothing. upon further reading, i noticed the the date of Feb 2010. would it be available then or is it a special service they're having at that time for people who've downloaded this extra already? i'm hoping just having a JPN PSN account is sufficient enough to get this because it would be such a waste, especially since i saw a Nendo Fate and Hayate in the booklet.
