Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes

So hey, anyone play this little gem of an iPod game?

It's a Final Fantasy Tacitcs-esque turn-based RPG. You play as Ziggy, a Conductor who's capable of bringing music to life in the form of Tune Troopers to battle, and you fight an army of machines in search for your brother. The main gimmick is that the songs Ziggy uses are the songs from your iPod. Listening to those songs powers up your Troopers.

Yadda yadda, anyway, I sort of recently got the game and am playing through it. I feel like discussing it.

One thing I feel like asking is why do Electric-based attacks seem so worthless? They all seem to do at most half the damage as their Fire and Ice counterparts. What gives?

I've got it, but the lack of progression is awkward. (Referring to the fighters getting stronger, not story or anything like that)

To elaborate, it bugs me that these two types of progression are not in sync.

Well, there is Rank Up via Pitch Pearls.

Yeah, but that's done at your own pace, not as you go through the game.

.

I suppose though... perhaps it would be better to compare this to other music games rather than other RP Gs. In music games, the difficulty depends pretty much entirely on which songs you choose. The same is the case here, only in a kind of inverted way.

I have this, but playing it as it stands would be a Self-Imposed Challenge to end all Self Imposed Challenges.

This is for one reason and one reason only:

My iPod Touch will not play music.

They need to bring this game to Steam, because it sounds interesting.

I'm... not sure how that would work at all. Mac App Store maybe, but not Steam - I don't think Square-Enix could get it to work.

Anyway, though, my dad has basically given me his non-broken iPod Touch, so I'm starting it again.

I went crazy at trooper creation and had 18 troopers before the first battle at Epitaph.

Most of them are Monks (and one of them started at Platinum*
