In game, the hearts are restoring my MP, and the little potions restore my HP. There are WAAAAAAY more hearts than potions, and I'm not good enough to keep my health up between potions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be the other way around?
Hearts restore my hearts? You mean health, yeah? Because that's not what they are doing. Hearts are restoring my Magic Points, not my HP. This doesn't seem right.
No, Hearts. Hearts are used to use Glyphs. It's working exactly as it should be. Look up some walkthroughs on gamefaqs.
I see. Man thats confusing. Sorry guys, it's just EVERY OTHER GAME EVER has used hearts as a health pickup. Ah well, thanks for clearing that up.
The hearts and mp meter are completely separate in that game. You have a hp bar, a mp bar which you use for regular attacks and a heart gauge for your special up + x combo techs. Potions are supposed to be hard to get so your game is working fine.
