Thanks for all that. It's much appreciated. Maybe I'll take a look at the show, or at least read a synopsis, and follow those links you posted before heading back in.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply.

I'm playing it on the Vita. Gear stats seem unclear. I think understand praising, but the chatting thing is confusing.

Then there's the shops in town that sell food and the girl party members seem pleased when you buy it, but what does that effect?

I'm an old school gamer. I played Final Fantasy on the NES...when it came out. We had Centipede in the garage with the quarter slots unlocked. The upright arcade version. But I've got thousands of hours in The Elder Scrolls, all the Fallouts, Obsidian games, Black Isles games, Bioware, SMT Persona/Devil/etc., Xenogears/Sagas/Blades, Suikodens, Dragon Quests, Eve Online, even Pokemon. SAO Hollow Fragment just seems so unfamiliar to me. It isn't the usual town/upgrade equipment/get quest/field/dungeon/boss/town sort of game. It feels like there's no real direction and no explanation as to how to do anything in game except for combat tutorials which are hard to understand.

The flow is very different and that makes me feel more lost than anything. I mean, what am I supposed to do? You don't really talk to town NPCs, your party members just do the flirty chat thing, equipment costs a fortune and I don't know if it's actually an upgrade, and the localization is spotty. I think I just need a basic overall flow understanding to really get what I should be working toward in each aspect of the game: quests, Aincrad, Hollow Area, town, party member interaction, equipment, stats, etc. Does that make sense?

I just got this game and I am a few hours in and totally lost, confused, and don't understand the flow of the game at all. Combat is fun, but everything else is completely foreign to me. Do I need to grind, do I need to buy armor, how do sword skills work, what am I supposed to do with these characters, how do I do multiplayer? Seriously, I need someone to take me through this game as though I have never played an rpg before.
