Due to the limited number of buttons on the Vita, some actions that were convenient to do on PC are now a little bit cumbersome. The first main gripe is the lack of a \"weapon action\" button, where now you have to push two buttons instead. Step dashing also requires two buttons, but luckily you can change that in options.<\/p>\n<p>Casting technics from the sub-palette is definitely going to feel awkward for PC players. Long-tapping on the screen to cast them takes your hands off the controls for too long, disrupting the flow of gameplay. Perhaps a better solution could be using both the arrow keys and rear touch panel in a fashion similarly to the way it's done with gamepads in the PC version.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Gigantes-Weakpoint.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-five-eight wp-image-30259\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Gigantes-Weakpoint.png?resize=508%2C287&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Gigantes Weakpoint\" width=\"508\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Gigantes-Weakpoint.png?resize=508%2C287&amp;ssl=1 508w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Gigantes-Weakpoint.png?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Gigantes-Weakpoint.png?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The addition of Halos brought a nice change of pace from the battles of PSO2. Now you have to plan where to place these floating platforms to get a better shot at the weakpoint. Interestingly, these platforms can also break when the Gigantes charges ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As for the music, well&#8230;I was never a fan of Motoi Sakuraba, so because of that, none of the songs so far are convincing me to purchase the soundtrack. It would have been interesting to hear Tri-Ace utilize the Sympathy music system, but sadly none of the songs appear to be dynamic at all. Instead, music would play only when enemies appeared, then go silent afterwards. I guess in a way, this makes the game feel more atmospheric, so it's not entirely a bad thing. I'm just hoping they get Go Shiina to make a few songs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Emergency-Code-Attack.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-five-eight wp-image-30260\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Emergency-Code-Attack.jpg?resize=508%2C287&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Emergency Code Attack\" width=\"508\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Emergency-Code-Attack.jpg?resize=508%2C287&amp;ssl=1 508w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Emergency-Code-Attack.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Emergency-Code-Attack.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">One final note, they changed the voiceover for the Emergency Code.
