Well, I think I made a mistake somewhere or I'm doing something wrong. I kept getting killed by that dragon that breathes fire and now my weapons need repair badly. Only, I have no souls because I spent them all leveling up, so I have to go back and slowly redo the first level just so I can repair.
The combat is fun, though, so I'm going to try to stick with it. -

The Otogi games are forgotten, but if you like massive amounts of particle effects there's really nothing like them.

He never said he had to get permission. What if it's that he doesn't have the money and to get it he would have to put it on his credit card. He knows he'll regret it but is having a hard time not impulse buying shit on credit. The comment about his girlfriend is because she'll give him shit for doing what they both know he'll regret.

Games like this, and like Monster Hunter, are far less frustrating because when you get completely owned, you start to realize it's because of a fundamental flaw in your strategy, that you're failing to approach the fight from the right direction/take into account all the factors, as opposed to Mega Man 9 or Ninja Gaiden which are cheap and janky as hell and your deaths are as much a result of the game being cheap as you being bad at the game.

Can you cash them in for shit or something? This is what would happen to me: I would spend 8 hours beating the first level, get a bunch of souls, and in the first 5 seconds of the 2nd level I would get beat down repeatedly until I had none left. At that point I would contemplate throwing the game out the window, and probably never pick it up again.

I dunno - man it's challenging but not brutal. I made it through the first boss only dying once and it was totally my fault what happened. I reclaimed my body/souls there and all was right. Even if i lost it - no big deal, souls are like money - just go get more or grind it out if you want. enemies respawn. More important thing is understanding how to be careful and wary - thats' what so fun about it - that suspense.

That mission pissed me off initially because it was the one mission that really forced you to start over a few times until you learned the tank's path. Every other mission I've played so far has had a lot of flexibility in how I could approach them, but that one really demanded that I take out the guns as quick as possible, prestage units to not fall within the kill zone whenever the tank moves and shoot down the ruins every turn possible to stall the tank.
Felt really drawn out and was only really interesting during the first turn and after the reinforcements arrived. I had two snipers in the lower right corner of the map just fucking dominating the enemies from behind :D-
What's-her-name totally ran over my entire force, which was mostly stationed around that trench in the middle, and I ended up beating the last radiator and the tank itself with the Edelweiss pinned against the right wall, an engineer hunkered down behind it, and an ineffective lancer drawing fire from the last base camp.
-
once i realized she couldn't damage the tank, that mission went from "OH FUCK PLEASE DON'T KILL ME OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" to: Play turn, realize tank moved to a spot where my tank would die at the end of their turn, reload save, ensure tank was not in that spot this time, keep everyone hiding behind my tank if they weren't upstairs, rinse, repeat.
I had a lot of guys go down on that mission, but thankfully no one perma died.
