Thanks to a little in-house Japanese support I'm making some more progress in this. It can be confusing. The save menu's are a real test of memory. Get them wrong, assuming you don't read Kanji, and hours of game play can be lost. Which is precisely what happened to me. What I'm finding is that while the game is interesting, there is a lot of reading.
So the Spaceship lands and you disembark at Beyond Coast.
I went immediately, thanks to the FAQ, straight to the Beyond Coast police station.
Where, i spoke to Bob. A Police desk clerk who needs to be asked everything twice.
Once done with Bob I went to see my old buddy Ed.
I was also introduced to two new people, although one of them wasn't all that new to me, or indeed anyone who has ever played Metal Gear Solid - Meryl Silverburg. The other person is Dave Forrest. Something of a fan of the planet Earth despite having never been there.
to be continued...
So, any further progress? What exactly is the confusion w/the save system? I'm just starting, and wan't to make sure I don't lose a bunch of effort.
