Originally posted by:Vandal Hearts is horrible. I mean, it's got one of the worse reward/punishment systems I've ever seen in a game. It's by Konami anyway.Really? I'm presuming you're referring to Vandal Hearts 2 or 'Flames of Judgement', as the original (from 1995) has easily one of the best reward/punishment systems I've ever seen, and made it a shockingly fun game. The only thing I disliked about the system was that if you somehow fell behind in terms of power (which was actually rather difficult), you couldn't perform an optional grind like you could in Flames of Judgement or Final Fantasy Tactics. But otherwise, I'd argue that Vandal Hearts, with its surprisingly very well designed battlefields and varying mission/formation style made it one of the better entries of the genre to this day.

One character falls in battle, you get less money so you have to settle for inferior equips.which means more likely to do worse next time, and get less money, and so on. With the fact that you can't 'train' it makes for an utterly disgusting experiance.why you hating the game cause of that?,thats the concept of the game, if u do bad, u will suffer on the later stage of game, or you had to chose who to lvl up more and some char suffer with low lvl, or take the average of all. Which become more of plan ur battle ahead more than brute forcei personally love vandal heart cause the fact u dont need or more to say cant grindfest till u had over powered character.

That game was not that hard at all. Even if you fell 'behind' in equipment you could sell all the other items you found in the chests and secret areas.
And yes, you can train, you just got to go to the 'Dojos' when you're in town and when you are at a level that's a multiple of 10 (10, 20, 30, etc) and you even get your new class' starting equipment for free.You only lost like 100 gold per ally that was felled, and usually the monster kills give you more than that.
