I really hope Sonic Team fix the location of some text when in battle for the western release of Episode 3. An example is when there's 10 seconds left and your about to attack. then the 10-0 counter blocks the HP of items equipped by a hunter etc.

Another annoying thing is the inforow in tournament which blocks the battletimer. Too see how much time you have left can be vital, for example, I just faced a level 120-130 guy ranked between 30-40. And in the end he won, because time ended, and he had like 1HP more then me. If I'd have known there was so little time left (my last move) I would have tried to take out as many high HP creatures as possible and not attack him for my ATK. If i'd have won, it would have given me 50EXP and quite some meseta, for Iam level 010.

And yes, I too think winning on time is lame, but I'd rather win on time then lose on time.

Agreed, but I doubt it will get changed, however nice it would be. This is the type of thing that ST should have done 5 minutes of in-house playtesting on, found, and fixed, but it hasn't been.

Was this same problem in the Trial as well?

The info bar has been introduced since the Famitsu Cup. I had the same problem. What I do now is in start menu look the hour of tourney start and the actual time to know how much time left I have approximately. Not exact time because there is the load times and choose decks between tourney start time and battle start time.

They should atleast make it so that, time left, shows once a minute. Or something like that. =/

I don't know how, but sometimes the time returns in the information bar. Perhaps it is my doing by pressing a button or perhaps the game does it.

Anyway I always hate that countdown completly blocking my view on what item of the enemy to target or where to walk (this is usually the case when my teammate has to move his char/animal before I can move mine)
