That was really confusing -.-' i have no idea what you do in that game... i was also wondering that why the enemies attack the cursor but with reading comments it explained it all...
I was a bit surprised at how the only thing you do is battle, but I liked it. The story pieced itself together slowly, and some of the characters made you sad to see them go. Like Princess Piche, or Algiery, even though you don't know them, really.
The gem/medium/item collecting and bullet dodging are my strong suits :D
This game is well worth the money and effort. There's the notorious "hour-long" tutorial but the game acknowledges this and doesn't force it on you. In fairness, it covers almost if not everything in the game, so it helps a lot.
Hmm... I think that i can't buddy o.o ... I never saw a game like this... It's the first game in about 2 years that i didn't think " Oh, it's equal that game... " ... In this game, we see something really new, that can't be compared with something else....
Basically what's happening is you control the white circle with the stylus.. You charge up attacks with your knights, each able to attack a different direction and pattern, and use weapons to do higher damage. You have 60 seconds a round, and time only goes down when you charge attacks or get hit by monsters. You have a specific number of rounds per level to make a line of kills at the bottom part of the screen there, with each cell representing a unique monster. In summary. :D
Not sure about the random moving around, but it looks like you use the stylus to point the direction of attacks and location, etc. :O Looks good though.
1. Click or skim over a unit to select and charge up attack. Drag to change direction, let go to attack.
2. After attacking, pick up gems dropped by the enemies to restore MP.
3. Drag a weapon from the top-right and drag it to a corresponding unit. The phase (shown below the equips) effects which ones can be used, and can be changed by making a counter-clockwise circle with the phase on the circumference. These attacks are extremely powerful.
I have no idea what the f*** is going on, but it still looks f-ing hot. When is this coming to America? Cuz it better be coming to america, or else I be out for blood.
Can't wait for this game to come out even on Japanese. Since the voices are ORGINALLY ENGLISH. I can get something... if not ill wait for a translation, (Wich I expect fast since the voices are ENGLISH alaready)
That was... Strange. It looked like a puzzle game mixed with an action RPG mixed with a drawing game mixed with a danmaku shooter, but with a chessboard as floor. Looks awesome though, I just hope it will be another one of Sting's masterpieces.
Oh my... you know, without anyone telling me, I'd know this was a game made by Sting. Their signature 'byzantine screen readouts' are in full force once again.
Not that I don't mind, I purchased Yggdra Union for its stellar interface to begin with...
But I really wonder if most players will honestly be able to take in all the necessary information being sprayed across the screen while they plot their next move.
I don't think the game will be a problem to play, yeah it'll take some time to remember what everything on the screen represents but once you do, you do. The World Ends With You I'd say is probably the most confusing game I've ever played as far as having so much happening at once. Having to focus on both screens while pressing nearly all the buttons as well as needing to tear up your touch screen did take some getting use to, but now the game seems almost easy, as will this.
Oh yes, I do think it will be fun to play and well laid out. Even for Yggdra Union which I've been replaying, which has countless blips of information, they're all sort of arranged so your eyes just fall on them when they need to.
But you do have to admit that the amount of information contained in a single screenshot or video of this game is staggering... and that's just the one screen! I'm now curious as to what's displayed on the other screen during all of this.
I wonder if it is indeed a map... I've noticed the actual battle screen itself is oddly devoid of landscape features, almost like fighting in a hazy pudding of some sort.
Thats the problem with games now or days, they throw in all these fancy menus and particle effects that make it hard to see what your doing.
Super Smash Bros Brawl had this problem, Kingdom Hearts 2 had this problem, and tons other have this problem. You know what your doing, but you don't know whats happening...
Watching this again today, it does look pretty damn awesome. I'm also not worried about the seemingly confusing gameplay any more, I'm pretty sure once you're actually playing the game it'll be quickly learned.
This game is going to be so awesome! I can't wait, it looks like it'll keep you busy for a while, the gameplay will probably take some getting use to, but so did Yggdra and that was one of the best games I've ever played!
Hard to believe this game's coming out in a little over a month and it only has one play video. O_o (looks awesome though.... just wish they'd make a trailer)
I don't wanna sound stupid, but why the hell change the battle system of Riviera? man, that was one of the best games I've played, ever. I'd make a sequel to that instead of making stupid SRPGS.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mmmm just saying that if something ain't broken, why fix it? same thing goes for the transfer between mmbn and mmsf, the battle system in star force is horrible. I remember Riviera as being one of the best games I've played, and YU one of the worst...
TAKE IT EASY MAN. I was just saying that Riviera was a great game and so was MMBN, and that I'm sorry they changed it. Just don't get a heart attack, psycho.
They're all part of the Dept. Heaven series just like all Final Fantasys are part of the Final Fantasy series, but they're different games so they're going to have different play styles.
It's real time turn based, as Sting originally said. I know a game like this, I just can't remember what it was, but everything is going on, all in real time, and when a character can act, you select them to make them do something, hence it being their turn. Some of the things flying around the screen are the demons supposed to attack the wisp (the little white thing going around selecting and what not) that you have to dodge. I suppose others are bonuses that you want to pick up.
