Understandable, and I honestly never tried that card trick, that sounds alot easier than what I'm doing. It sounded too good to be true, and I never got around to trying it out myself, so I stayed in disc three (well I was also scared about missing things and not being able to backtrack..). How often can you get the rare cards from them, and do they use any annoying rules, if you don't mind my asking?
My goal was never really to beat Omega... I mean, it'd be nice, but I just love seeing my characters improve... so I don't really mind the extra time put in.
