I have some questions to those who have been playinf Vol. 1

Hi, i'm new to the community, so with G.U. out in Japan, I'll hopefully be importing it soon.

anyway, I have some questions.

1.) How good are things on the Gameplay side? A big critisism my friends had on the original games is the gameplay was just "Not Fun".

2.) Are Virus Core hunts still in the game, and if they are, what kind of improvements have been made, if any at all, for example, the Really bad one towards the end of //QUARANTINE.

3.) How does the Combat system differ?

I know I have more questions, but I'll let you guys ansewer these ones first.

There are no more virus cores, the fightning style really isnt the same seeing as how you can charge attacks and its all about combo's now. Just watch a video of gameplay and you'll see the difference. Its a ton of fun ^_^

Um...I also have a question. I don't know if this has been asked before but, when you go into a battle, does it always say "Outbreak of Battle" Or something like that? All the trailers I've seen have something like that when going into battle. And it sort of seems annoying if it keeps popping up every time you fight.

Yeah, it probably won't in the American version though. I for one like its campy effect, and heck, you don't notice it most of the time... After a while playing any rpg you just simply space out during battle transitions...
