These 2 save styles are separate so you can still do egg farming like on the 3DS. You can also load autosaves and the game conveniently does that every time you enter a new loading zone or access a stand. It’s a mild inconvenience yes, but I suppose that’s the price of this having been a 3DS game first. I’d say more but it’s hard to say anything else that hasn’t been said before in other reviews.Not part of the review, just a tip addressing one of the issues people seem to be having with saving- you HAVE to save the game from a Catavan stand or from the bed in your character’s bedroom. I also haven’t tried online yet but I may drop my rating if the PvP isn’t working properly since I often build my monsters for that purpose alone. If we get those updates I’ll gladly up the rating to 5 stars. My only issue really is that we don’t have the 1.2 or 1.3 updates from Japan that add so much more content than what we have now, and considering this is already at least a 20 hour game that’s saying something about just how much more this game can be.
The price is high but don’t forget there’s a free demo to play and the game itself never has to be online. In terms of a mobile game especially you’ll never find anything quite so fair and long term on the AppStore as this. I spent at least 200 hours on the 3ds and approaching close to 50 on this version and have just now moved on to post game content.
