Doesn't it have a "freaking long" version that shoots energy bullets?

err...

Even so... I'm wrong again...

Sorry...

[Juanblue85]

Sweet can't wait to get this one too for PS3. If it doesn't its Import Time!. Can't wait for more adventures with the Vesperia cast and more solo boss battles with Yuri and also more Flynn.

I speculate...Phareoh and Clint will be bosses I mean, the other spirits were fightable and Clint is the head of a guild. Also, I'd like to see more Astal. Also could anyone translate Karol's hi-ougi? It's too small for me to read.

[Atlas]

Its to small and it has a lot of Kanji. I hope to god he has Lonis hi ougi I would laugh so hard if he did.

[Conn]

I was interested until I learned Patty wasn't optional.

Now I hate it forever.
