i'm having the same problem as someone earlier had, where i hit "start game" on the launcher and nothing ever happens. there was no crack folder either, so i'm assuming it had already been cracked and all i needed was the install?
tried lightning returns yesterday but i ain't touching this one again. this game has an idiotic status effect called Pain which, when inflicted in battle will permanently reduce the targets MAX HP for the duration of the battle and there is NO curing it. that pain effect can seriously F you up in later fights. often warranting a reset.
actually no, you can buy wound potions later on which cured it. Also, if you have understood how the battle system works, you can get the fight end before the wound (it's not called pain btw) stacking too much for you to withstand. Try seek guides on the net on how to set up your team so that you can battle efficiently.
