Oops, thank you again. I guess I skipped that part of the instructions because I thought I knew all about MP and TP.
Now that I think I understand what Fortunetellers (and Analytics) is supposed to do, I don't think it works properly. When I cast Fortunetellers Lvl1 on Valerie alone or on Valerie and one other character, I see her gain about 1 MP per turn, as expected. But when I try to be more efficient and cast it on the max of 5 characters, I don't see any MP gain at all for anyone. Same for Evelyn's Analytics. Not sure what's wrong, or maybe I still don't understand it.
And the characters are supposed to occasionally gain 1 MP or 1 TP without casting any spells? I don't think I've seen this happen.
I'm up to Battle 23 now, and have enjoyed what I have seen so far. The heroes have rather generic hero personalities, but the misadventures of the big bad guy are quite funny. The characters have a nice variety of skills, and with some experimentation I've found some good combos. Resources are scarce though, so that the game is not very forgiving of newbie player fumbling. It's gotten super hard for me now, and I may need to start over and make better informed decisions in the early battles so that the later battles will be more manageable.
