Here's some perspective: The Conduit > Little King's Story
...Not really, of course. The Conduit is hilariously mediocre (having passed into the "hilarious" category after months and months of IGN pimpage and still sucking). But there lies the exact reason why any sort of discussion around IGN reviews is just plain old stupid.
For those who have had it for a while. Is it normal to lose citizens in battle or should that be avoided at all costs? I hate losing my peoples and I keep replaying the battles till I get them perfect. It's kind of slowing the game down and ruining it for me a bit. Should I stop caring so much? Does the population increase normally anyway after people die?

But both are pretty unforgiving, right? Yet 1 other did Chibi-Robo (which made it here), Captain Rainbow (which would sell here), and a pretty commercial mix between Animal Crossing, Moon, and Chulip. The other did my favorite of the Chulip-like trio and a Dokapon Kingdom/that other 360 game that escapes me game. Yet, those 2 made it here. Now this. Weird.

Every once in awhile, they permamently die. Oftentimes, they'll wash up on shore and you get people back.

I like how the IGN review has made this topic more lively than even the game release did.

you are posting WAY too much!!!GhaleonQ said:
hopefully getting the game tomorrow..
They usually wash up on the beach. You don't see them get washed up, they just appear back in your citizen list. Some citizens go away.Skorp said:
When they do return, they will be jobless and be classified as a carefree adult.
I wouldn't care too much about it unless you loose like 10+ citizens at once (which you can btw lol)

Did we ever figure out if this game is 480p or not?
Seems no one wants to answer.

You sure about that? In the EU version if you get to the beach early enough (before their family'n'friends) you can see them lying there all exhausted and, well, 'washed up', you can talk with them, help them to their feet - it's a nice touch, connects you with the people.
Plus, in EU version, they keep their job class/uniform/stats. Did they change this for NA?

*looks sheepish* I've been stuck in my dorm studying for my tests that are in 8 hours. I'm going crazy, so NeoGAF is my consolation. I bring news, though! http://www.411mania.com/games/featu...e-King\\s-Story-Producer-Yoshiro-Kimura--.htm
Hell Mode is a higher difficulty option that is only available when you finish the regular modes. In it, the enemies are super strong and the citizens are really weak. Also, something special happens to the bull named Pancho, the one that Howser rides on, in Hell Mode only. The ending will also change a little bit and you will feel like you've accomplished something if you beat it.
How they came up with the secret songs: But for the twenty secret ones, I actually asked my foreign friends - a lot of different people from places like Russia, Korea, Germany, Holland, and Italy to name a few - to come in. When they went into the recording booth I told them "ok, remember that song? Hum it so we can record it and put it in the game." Usually, when I ask them to do a specific song, two to three seconds are fine, but from thereon they completely forget how the melody goes, but I'll be in the booth saying "keep singing, keep singing," so they have to come up with their own melody to match what they think the song is supposed to sound like.
So are gamers supposed to be learning a moral lesson by playing this?
It's not necessarily a morality lesson or anything like that. It's more like - in regular everyday life, you interact with a lot of people. You may think some people are dumb, some people are stupid, some people are smart, and some people are worth your admiration. So in a way, you don't have to watch television or movies to be inspired, to find interesting people. You can find them by looking around nearby places like your neighborhood and trying to observe the people you find and understand what they're going through - try to learning something from there. More than just playing a video game, it's interesting to look at other characters and see what they're thinking and try to learn what makes them who they are.
A lot of reviews from European sites have already come out. The scores have been really high, especially from a place called Edge. They're known for really being harsh with their scores, but we got a really high one from them, so I'm really proud of how Little King's Story turned out. I'm especially happy about Edge's score because they concentrate on core games. Not only that, but the games they do need to be really interesting or have that something else for them to appreciate it.
Also, how he invented the game, which I think is new.

Yes on both accounts. If you like side-questing this will keep you busy for a long time.hampig said:
It's OK to lose the odd citizen, often you can't help it and as others have stated, they usually wash up on shore. If you take care of your citizens and help them find their partners you will have lots of children anywaySkorp said:
which you can later "upgrade" to adults through a building instantly
Definitely not true for the PAL version.one_kill said:
PAL is not.AceBandage said:
It seemed to me that all of the minions you lose during boss fights would wash up on the beach the next morning. If they died during 'open-play' you might not be so lucky.
There will be more than enough inhabitants to fill your ranks, so unless you develop an emotional attachmemt with certain characters, death never becomes much of an issue.

True for boss fights - you're safe enough there.
Bu..but - how can you not get attached to them? It was you that married them, trained them put their childen through school ... I occasionally visit the widow and kids and take them down to the beach.
Guess that's why the game's taking me so long.
GhaleonQ said:
I'd just like to add that I disagree with that somewhat. My experience was that I did just fine with a fixed group of:
One of every unit currently available, with the remaining space taken up by a roughly balanced group of soldiers and hunters
That got me through every single boss. Things may possibly have been easier with a better-crafted group, but sorting out weapons for every last member was fiddly enough that I was happier with the fixed setup.

Is it safe to say that the freeze experienced by Volcynika was perhaps his/her Wii or regardless, not due to the game? Volcynika's the only one to even mention a freeze so far right?

It is probably the Wii, rather than the game.
However, there is one point later on in the game where it might look as though it has frozen
but that is because there is something else going on in the game that you may not be able to see because of the camera angle. It sorts itself out.

Well, just keep in mind that I'm one of the few that got it yesterday due to the GLOIROUSNESS of release date delivery. As for the nature of the freeze, it froze with the screen still showing and then the music freezing at one note.
Anyways, I was lazy last night, so quick impressions for now:
I never played many games of this sort (didn't ever get into Pikmin or anything), but so far I find it very interesting. I've only gotten as far as the very first quest (
some skull cow monster thing in the graveyard
As for 480p, I have no idea where to look for it, and I don't have the setup to do that anyways. And don't ask me to look at the box / instruction booklet now, since I'm at work!
But at least my little Onii is at work with me!
aw crap hell mode is going to drive me insane. :lolGhaleonQ said:
just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwKbKpwntS4#t=6m7s
