Maybe I was playing Golden Sun 1 wrong but I never had to use weapon repairing.

At least you're not on the other end, barely used him yet and already losing him.

Holy shit fuck DDS2 so fucking much for this.
>>319857472
>game forces a party member to leave for hours

Vanity slots are the one good thing that ever came from MMOs, and I don't get why more games don't do it.
