Part 3: Bonus - Grade Shop Purchases

Shadow Hearts Yuri is indeed awesome, but I think you're gonna be pleasantly surprised by this one!


Also, small bonus thing since I'm playing a New Game+ here:

Bonus: My Purchases from the Grade Shop
When you start a new game using a save file that finished the game already, you get the option to transfer stuff from your previous run, or get some things that make your next run easier or harder.



I may do a more comprehensive thing at the end of the LP, but for now, I'll just tell you what I bought for my run. Includes minor mechanics spoilers if you care about that.

Max 99 Items: Ups the item limit per item you can carry from 15 to 99. This mainly saves me shop trips for Magic Lenses.
Cooking Skill: Transfers your characters' stats for cooking. Having one character with every recipe mastered is required for a sidequest, and it takes forever to level it, so I just transferred it over.
2x Gald / Double Experience / 2x Grade: Doubles the amount of of Gald, EXP and Grade you get from battles. Makes the run require some less grinding.
Increase Over Limit: Doubles the amount of overlimit gained by both your party and enemies. Makes for more hectic boss battles.
Increase Item Drop Rate: Doubles the chance of enemies dropping items. Pretty useful.
Unlock Battle Rank: Unlocks the hardest difficulty in the game, Unknown.
Unlock All Skits: Allows you to watch all skits in the skit viewer, instead of just those you've already seen.
