Is hard mode available from the beginning?
I have an artbook that I dont really want. pm me.
ah sorry, thought it was already updated.
now im torn between ps3 and vita version... playing it with the wife would be hillarious.
UK/EU PSN person here, we don't generally have to deal with this outrageous tardiness
Instead we deal with not getting games at all like Counterstrike GO!
Some general tips and some class specific tips for amazon, sorceress, elf and dwarf.
Gonna spoiler them all for those who want to figure out things for themselves.
Gonna spoiler them all for those who want to figure out things for themselves.
General tips:
- You can do instant jump reset (land immediately from air) by holding X and down.
- You can recover from mid air knockdown by pressing R1 or X. It will however remove all i-frames from the falling animation.
- Evasion (R1) when timed correctly, has i-frames. I find at least 1 level of the evasion skill critical for all classes except the 2 magic users.
- Hotkey your healing item as soon as you can by highlighting it in your equipment menu and then pressing the direction pad.
- You can jump and use evasion into the background or foreground. This is especially useful for evading full screen length horizontal attacks.
- Get one level of wealth to health and nutritionist as soon as possible, this will be your main healing tool during dungeons.
- Slide to kill small critters quickly.
- Skeletons get launched easily with slides, zombies with anti air (up + square) and soldiers with dash attack.
- Dash attack can be cancelled into a slide. A slide can be cancelled into a standing attack.
Amazon:
- Abuse moves that give i-frames, like parry and brandish.
- She's weak but fast without her weapon, so use the power smash sparingly or when the TTF rune is available.
- She's got the best staying-in-air capability, her anti-air launcher (up + square) doesn't count as a jump, so you can actually spend a lot of time floating in mid air.
Sorceress:
- If you're playing solo, consider skipping the status spells, they're not very useful.
- Also the skeleton revival skill requires a lot of points before it becomes decent.
- Her moveset is identical to the wizard, they both have 3 elemental staff types. Most natural and undead enemies are weak to fire, dragons are weak to ice, and soldiers are weak to lightning.
- The ice and fire staff have identical moves but with different properties, the lightning staff has a different moveset and uses more mana.
- Get levitate early, it boosts magic damage from air by 30%
Elf:
- Always end every combo with some sort of bow attack.
- Her melee will suck for quite a long time, so just go for short combos that end with an arrow shot. Her dash attack is a very quick launcher.
- Her dash bow attack can be done by pressing forward, holding circle, then releasing circle.
- She has the best recovery time from moves, so abuse evasion to find a safe spot to shoot from.
Dwarf:
- Abuse throws and power smash. He's invincible throughout the entire power smash animation. Throws are not particular useful against bosses though. Great for everything else.
- Flying enemies can be easily caught using his mid air grab (jump, up + square).

You should have went and checked back around last thursday. That's when we got the distro for the books and the game. If they tell you they didn't get it, cancel the pre-order. lol

Just don't screw up like I did and you should be fine.
It used to be that when I dropped something off at the Post Office, Gamefly would get the head's up that it had been scanned and would update the list of games I have out. This stopped happening for some reason about 6 months ago. So, I just forgot that 4 days is now not enough leeway for something I send back to get to Austin and get marked received to free up the space in my "Games Out."

Elf is right up my alley. Didn't think of playing as her at all. Now I don't wanna play with no one else. So fast. Wizard and sorceress seem very similar... So I guess I'm going Sorceress.

If I imported the US version, would that create problems when playing online?

Uncool bro, uncool. I name literally every Wizard type that can hit multiplayer that. I'd have one right now with that name, except I'm still waiting on PSN to update...
Edit: Hmm, guess I'll check again. It wasn't up twenty minutes ago.

Played a bit this morning.
Man this art style is AMAZING even the odd porportions are something to love. It's just an amazing game to look at.
I'm soloing a Amazon and seeing how that'll go.

From what I've seen, no, watched someone solo the red dragon with an AI glitch in the first room.
As my earlier pic showed you can change on the tavern however each char will have to do the quests/missions again BUT you will keep the items and allies.

So, does anyone know if the decisions change the story?
In particular with the Duke vs the Prime Minister. At first I thought the PM was a good guy, but the princess seems to never talk around him. I refused to give the scepter to the Duke guy, and gave it to the princess.

hmm, do I want to use the dpad or the left stick for movement on PS3. whichever you choose, the other goes to item shortcuts?

Downloading now! (PS3 ver.)
So if I have played through 4 or 5 missions and decide to switch classes, I will be kicked back to the first mission?

Well the very first side-quest the NPC dude randomly showed up and I couldn't make him go away.
Maybe it was just for the first side mission? I dunno.
I think if you go back to the tavern and "dismiss" them they won't come. So I'll try that.
