    Default Stylus or buttons?

    For those playing the DS version of the game, do you use the stylus or the regular buttons to play the game?

    I started out using the stylus, and it was nice in the beginning. But damn, it's seriously annoying that you have to tap once to select, then once more to choose. That means to use a potion I have to tap, I think, six or seven times. I use the buttons now.

    BUTTENS.

    using the stylus in the menu is just not efficient enough.

    With the menu's, I agree buttons are the way to go. However, using the stylus for walking and interacting on the field/world map, I think it offers a greater sense of freedom, except for vehicles like the ship and airship.

    I prefer the buttons. The stylus was just too slow for me.

    I use a combination. Like if I'm really focusing on the game, I use buttons. If I'm eating something though, I use the stylus.

    Buttons, as the stylus is a pain sometimes.

    Teh buttonz.

    I only use the stylus when say two enemies are bombs but the third isn't. The stylus lets you highlight just the bombs for a nice Blizza[rd]/[ra]/[ga].

    Really? That's pretty cool. Do you just "click and drag" or something? I'll have to try this later.

    you can do something like that in the nes version too; you put your cursor on one row of enemies and press up and it'll select both in that row. Or maybe it's my emulator being buggy, but ;o

    I tried the stylus, but it just made things harder for me. I prefer the buttons. Now, if we could only customize them...

    hmm it wont let me vote but i always use buttons
    and thats cause the ds screen or something is smurfed up and wherever you touch the stylus it registers it as an inch or 2 lower and to the left!!
    makes playing brain training a bloody pain in the archibald also

    Buttons. I tend to avoid using the stylus for all DS games.
