Yeah, being so slow to do things is kind of annoying. I'm at the end of the game and I was upgrading everyone's weapon to max level, and if I did it all in one sitting, it'd probably take 45 minutes to do. I would have loved the auto advance dialogue if there wasn't such a delay in moving on to the next line when it reached the end, but oddly works great if you press the button to advance the on-screen text. I just HATE that you get the sound effect of the button press without a way to turn it off.

If you're going for recruiting all heroes, be aware there's a point of no return at some point that will lock you out from one of the major heroes. I won't spoil it, but you may want to look into that if it matters. That's what pissed me off the most. Otherwise, loving the game. I'll certainly be getting the DLC and keeping an eye out for a sequel.

yeah I had exactly the same issues that you are describing. Everything takes SO LONG to do when it should be done in a second. For the rest I'm really enjoying it though, Eiyuden and Sea of Stars have been games I've been looking forward to for a long time now.

Thanks for the headsup, I'm not at the end yet and hope that I didn't miss him/her
