<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>The game is fun so far, but I have one major beef. I'm sure this has probably been discussed here multiple times already, but fighting with the characters themselves is sooo cool, yet they constantly make you fight inside your gears (which basically suck ass). Is there ever a point where you can heal your Gears in battle? Because RPGs without in-battle healing are just ridiculous. Either everyone's going to be way too easy or way too hard (and I'm guessing it'll be the former in this case).</div>

You get Frame stuff later

Like Don said, you get the Frame stuff later on that sucks up a ton of fuel but heals you.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Personally, I try to stay away from it if I can, I always felt it used up too much fuel.

I wish you hade more fights outside of your mech, those are much more fun because of all the combos you get.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>If you're up for interesting battles, there are some special engines you can get near the end of the game. They have the highest output (around 80 - 100), but the also have the lowest fuel supply (1000 - 2000).</div>

Of course...

Yeah, don't even bother with Frame stuff on those engines because you'll just up 90% of your fuel to heal 10%

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Makes it much interesting to see how far you can get on one life bar... and blocking the strongest attacks makes a huge difference.

Or you can always wimp out with the 6000 Fuel Engine and get a Z Charger.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, later. The Gear battles get a bit better, but not too much. The physical battles start out amazing but get a bit stale later on, which kinda annoyed me. Other than that, best PSX RPG, period. Incredible storyline</div>
