I just got my driver's licence and am now able to drive whenever now. I don't actually have anywhere to go, but it's nice nonetheless.

I've been having some trouble with the (I think mid-boss?) of the 5th Stratum. (The Cursed Prince fight) My party is about level 51 or 52, but I keep getting OHKO'd by one of his moves when I get him to red. Am I not leveled enough, or do I need to use the elemental Aegis guard thing? I ...

You can actually click on "pay needed funds" or something similar when buying on the eshop. It should be in the bottom right corner when selecting the amount.

I've got two questions for you guys, if you don't mind.

First, how do I unlock the door in the mini-dungeon in the 4th Land?

Second, where is in one of the Scarlet Pillars' quests?

Thanks in advance!

On another note, this game's rendition of Scatter About is automatically the worst version since it doesn't loop properly. Its actually quite annoying. That's probably the worst part of the game for me. For some reason the audio compression was butchered, and like you say there are a few tracks tha...

I'm at the same part as you Kimiko. I replaced my Nightseeker with the new class, because while Nightseekers are useful, the new class is far better even if they're more fragile. It took a try or two to beat the second land's boss, but I managed it at about level 25 or so. Is that an okay level for ...

Also, to those of you who have been to the 5th stratum: Anyone feel that the 5th stratum theme is kinda... meh? I've always really enjoyed the 5th stratum themes in the past games, but this one... not so much. Really? This is probably my favorite 5th stratum theme so far actually. In my opinion: IV...

^Don't worry, I only just beat the mini dungeon right before the second stratum. I'll catch up eventually, but I'm fine just taking it slowly for now.

If it was anyone else I'd be surprised, but I expect this sort of insanity from you Zeta. Still, well done.

Well, it took long enough, but my copy finally arrived! Now to catch up to all of you crazy people that are in the third stratum already!

I'll have to wait a while as I don't have release day delivery, but I'm very excited.

Also, for those wondering about the manual, there is one, you just have to access it through the 3DS's main menu. Manuals are still around, they just don't want to print them anymore.

I understand that being surprised with Raiden as the main character instead of Snake (especially after the Tanker chapter fake-out) could be annoying. However, why complain about him when you could complain about Rose, the worst written woman in the entire MGS series (which is quite an impressive fe...
