how is the combat in Dark Cloud II? Presuming it's somewhat like Disgaea,


... is not turn-based. As with most action RPGs, you just mash the X button early on, or hold it down then leggo for a more powerful attack. Eventually, I found out that hitting R1 to guard against attacks is sometimes a good idea. You can also do backflips to avoid attacks, use items, run away, or just hope that a monster doesn't attack you while you're pointing a camera at it. Upgrading your weapons so that they might put a dent in certain creatures is the game's only resemblance to Disgaea wrt combat, but how you go about it is completely different: weapons collect XP as they're used, and once they level up, you bolt spheres onto them so they gain abilities. It's no Disgaea, but it's fun.
