as for your post..

yeah, I wonder how SH1 Yuri plays today. I also wonder if that's a weird localization thing from an era where this guy are sick was commonplace or if it's in the Japanese. I would probably expect that to be in the Japanese but for it to be whitewashed when coming here. there just was no quality control in SH1 (see sea mother). anyway, that stuff fades away soon.

as for battle - sh1 uses an opposite elements system. fire <-> water, light <-> dark, air <-> earth. each fusion also has different skills. I usually stick with fire (physical attack up), light (all party heal) and dark (special attack up). at the point where you are, they're pretty much all the same. eventually you'll get enough soul power to get to level 2 and those guys will have better skills, like attacks that hit all.

if you're still in Dalian, you can grind out the frogs there for light souls if you wanted. light fusion makes the first half of the game's bosses a lot easier but it's not needed or anything. there just isn't a lot of opportunity for light souls.
