changed the protector I had because I didn't like her damage output and her skills seemed useless.
Protectors aren't exactly made for offensive purposes. Rather they're to buff you're party. The Defender skill is really when combined with a Medic's Immunize you'll take very few damage. The Anti-Fire/Bolt/Ice skills are extremely useful against the post-game bosses as well.
In terms of damage dealing you'll want to train them so they can get the Smite skill. Damage isn't exactly that great but it at least lets them do something other than buffing the party.
Anyway, it's still my favorite DS game and handily beats FF3 (which I didn't really like) to a pulp.
I liked FF3 just fine. My only gripe is that you get a lot of the classes quite late and that the game is very short. Also the added story development was hilarious. Oh yes and the WiFi for side quests thing was really stupid.
I agree though, Etrian Odyssey is a WAY better game.
Anyway on topic:
When it arrives I'll probably be playing
ONE - To the Radiant Season. Its a visual novel made by Key, known for their works like Kanon or Clannad.
Still playing
Jeanne d'Arc. Yup, no other comments.
And finally, since I got the netplay patch working, I'm playing
Melty Blood Act Cadenza VerB against my brother. I cannot versus against others though since Australia is known for their horrible ping rates.
