Now it gets ugly, the game controls don't allow you to you to use the analog in battle in the same way as the D pad and thats after you get an item that enables more options in battle. unforutunately the analog sometimes would have the better D pad and vice versa The shape buttons don't work well either and that WILL hurt at the time when you are least expecting it (can't say why as it is a major plot spoiler). One redeeming point here is that this is one of the better versions of the Linear Motion Battle System that this series is famous for, earlier versions were often very slow. When a summon spirit's name is printed in Japanese text during his dialog right after you defeat him.
