The battle animations in this game are just so damn good, the impact effects are just wild.
Also really love how the characters get bloody after taking damage and having it persist until you heal up. It just adds to the grittiness of it.

They really pull off the whole dire setting and feeling of desperation from the characters by adding these details.

I know they aren't the same type of game but this has been the Bloodborne moment for me this gen as far as just becoming completely obsessed with a game that ties its world, story and gameplay so flawlessly.

This game is a theorycrafting wet dream.

I spend too much time thinking about synergies and picto setups when I'm not playing.

Lol. Currently struggling against that pink airborne boss for his ap picto.

Love this battle track. Sax + guitar is bliss.

This seems definitely Ys inspired

 

[CLW]

I did. And goddamn holy mother of jesus what an ending of act 1

Who's gonna tell him about Act 9?

Yep, I get that they had a certain vision but it would have been nice to have a mini-map or even a normal map in the dungeons as well.

Poor design decision. I'm sure they thought that not having a mini-map would promote exploration, but it has the exact opposite effect, at least for me.

 

[GateofD]

At least grant us the mini-map picto on a new game+ or something.

Or the Ubisoft picto that floods the screen with markers

Took me an hour but I finally beat the chromatic abbest, that pink ball in act 1. Got like 3 levels up lol.

 

[GateofD]

I think I missed the chromatic in the water reef area if there is one in the beginning

Starting to get annoyed with this. The off-rhythm attacks are so hard to counter - 1, 2, 3 is easy, but when it goes 1, 2 ... 5 ,6 ...8, and they throw in gradient attacks and jump attacks too. Give me a break, I'm not playing Dark Souls here.

Just had a fight (Renoir) that embodied everything I find frustrating about the dodge/parry system. Beat him, but I did not enjoy it one bit, especially since I knew I wasn't actually going to win and he was obviously going to do a boss rug-pull.

Is there a good spoiler free clean up list?

So why does the first strike Lumina not work on my Lune? It's the only character that has it applied, yet it's always Maelle who's starting first and I don't know why. I need Lune to start first to burn all the enemies so Maelle can go knto Virtuous stance, but something doesn't work hownI want.

Turn order is simple in this game: it's decided by how you create your team.
With their system you can't have an empty team so you always have to keep the character you want as first alone to start your team.
If you want Lune first and Maelle second, get only Lune in team (get rid of everybody else) then select Maelle and a 3rd.

edit: at first I wasn't understanding why the character I was maining wasn't coming first but I was just removing one character and adding a new one so order was messed, you have to recreate the teams.

I was about to say the same thing.

So much of this game screams "if FROM Software made a turn based game". And I love it for it.

There's 9 acts?? Man, I've been playing for 25 hrs and didn't even reach end of act 2…

Yep the order for the first turn is determined by the order in which you've selected your party members. All turns after that (inclusive of the emeny's) are determined by the speed stat.

Forgot to mention :
Lune is my wife. Don't any of you dare to approach her.

You can have her, as long as I can have Maelle

Thanks a lot, now turn order's just how I need it!

Imagine if From also started adding Story mode difficulty settings like this, shit would be so much better.

Also, the bloom can get egregiously strong in some areas in the game.
