Nope. The combat remains the same throughout, since you can fight the final boss after the intro.
Have you fought some Lynels? Can't really mash for those.
Sounds like the game is not your cup of tea. Maybe it's best not to continue.
I don't think so? I'm awful at remembering names of enemies though. Are those the flying mages that disappear and reappear?
Just bummed because I can tell the game is well made, and I loved it at first. I was even excited about the map stuff because I love map making in etrian odessey.
If this was tv only I would've stopped already but there isn't anything for the Switch for me until Puyo Puyo Tetris, and I figure I might as well play something on the treadmill.
]QUOTE=maxcriden;233124179]I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling psyched about the game at the moment. From what I understand (disclaimer: 75+ hrs in, only one dungeon down), it sounds like more advanced combat techniques become more useful or required in the endgame. They are taught to you in a shrine adjacent to a populated area, I'm not sure if you've encountered them yet. We've personally barely utilized them though it's probably a good idea to get used to those mechanics. But regardless, the combat can be more sophisticated in the meantime if you wish it to be by utilizing runes in combination with environmental conditions and weapons. Finding creative ways to take out the more powerful enemies, to stop them from one-shotting you (except the Guardians, which for all intents and purposes require certain methods of defeat) is part of the fun. What aren't you liking about the map? And, if it's any consolation, there are some very, very clever shrines out there waiting to be found, and, we personally have only encountered two with motion controls. No idea how many there are, but by no means the majority of them. (Granted, we haven't been too focused on shrines, so we haven't done that many more than you of those.)[/QUOTE]
The map to me is just kind of a shitty compromise.
It doesn't give you a bunch of tools to make a map from scratch like Etrian Odessey, but it also doesn't auto mark stuff you find.
So instead of having fun making the map, or having a super useful cliche open world map with 9 million icons, I have a map I am half assing and don't enjoy using or marking and bums me out every time I use it.
Would love to try something like that out!
