the only solution i found is to keep holding the d-pad when you walking through a map

I had that issue for a bit as well since the dead zone on the dpad is so small. When in fixed dpad mode the entire screen is part of the dpad. So you can touch the top left corner of the screen and it counts as a diagonal input, so you can just overshoot the dpad in the direction you want to go in

Wow... this really is an awesome rpg game. It took me two tries to get used to the battle menu system. Instead of holding down to flick through the options, stroke up or down - it makes it alot easier.

As others have mentioned the menu & shopping system sucks! Really needs a d-pad, trying to buy a sword felt like way too much guesswork & accidental quantity increases

Use the flick system within the menu box. It takes a bit of getting use to since it's not the conventional method of going through items/skills.

Notice the menu box and its shadow-like borders? You should be using little flicks within those boundaries, regardless of whether it's the Action Menu when you fight an enemy,the General Menu that has your characters/items/skills/status or the Shopping Menu.

Hope this helps those who've just bought this great game and have started playing it.

P/S: I still get issues with buying/selling items. The quantity part is just bad. Accidents will and have happened. What's sad is that this is my second run with the game, since the 99:59:59 time bug hit me hard and I was near the end of the game. Oh well.

Played this on a friends iPhone last night. I highly enjoy the retro feel of it however I really wish it implemented multitasking. Playing for 15 minutes here and there, closing out of the game, then being able to pull it back up exactly where you left off. This is what the game is missing.

It's definitely up there in a different league along with Chaos Rings. Personally I just couldn't get into Zenonia as it required way too much grinding for my tastes. Yes crimson gem saga also has it's fair share of grinding but it certainly isn't as monotonous.

The problem lies with the UI. While it's useable after you're used to it. But it really ought to be more user friendly. I shouldn't be needing to head to the forum to ask how to purchase some riding boots from the store!

I also couldn't get into Zenonia even though I bought it, but I like Crimson Gem Saga although I haven't played since I found out I had to do something before going into the place with the 30,000 sword so Ill have to go through that annoying dungeon again

I can't believe I waited so long to get this.
Although, I'm only level 5, all I can say is that this blows any current rpg away.

The graphics are just amazing, perfect really. The combat is appropriate with minimum grinding. The storyline is freaking great.

If you're a rpg fan, please get this game..it's really the best rpg I've seen so far. CGS > Chaos Rings in the turn based rpg genre any day.

Cheers.

Saw the price drop and I'm a little interested in getting this game. My only question, is there an option to turn off the voice acting?

i am not sure but the voice acting in story always pops out before the texts appears

i can't read and listen different things at the same time
