Bean posted:Doesn’t Reddit have some pet theory about having four more classes? Sounds like there’s your four extra gods right there. Yes, basically. The theory is that there are four additional classes with Divine Skills named after the last 4 Gods that will provide additional subclass options. I kind of find it believable. Especially when we still don't have a Stat-raising skill for all the stats yet.

Momomo posted:I finally sat down and played a bit more of the demo. So far I've only played half of them (Primrose in the old demo, and now Ophilia, Therion and doing Alfys) but some seem more story involved than others. It feels like the first two were pretty heavy on story, while Therion really only got a plot at the very end, and Alfys only exists for like five minutes before you converge and join his party. I have to wonder if that means some characters will be more prominent than others. I think it's just the way the prologues are structured. If you pick Alfyn first, it doesn't feel any different from anyone else's prologue as you do the whole thing solo. I'm guessing that each character just has a different jumping-on point in their prologue for when you do them with the rest of the party. Momomo posted:Also, going into Alfys I figured having a party of three would make it a lot easier to fight the boss. I probably made it harder on myself by trying to keep everyone alive, but I still managed to die to it. Not sure how you could really fight that thing solo, but I am excited to see the difficulty be a thing. Alfyn's boss is pretty easy solo. The thing is that the level scaling is no joke. The first boss you fight generally isn't very hard, but they ramp up in difficulty pretty quickly as you get more party members.

I loaded up Bravely Default yesterday because I can't play this. I got only 30 hours in before, but really liked it. Now I'll get like 30 hours in before this game comes out and I'll be at the same point again.

Zaphod42 posted:Bosses are scaled to your level. The ones you fight later are tougher, regardless of order. I suspect the reason they ramp up so steeply in the prologues is both because they scale to your level and because the game knows that you're going to have more party members for each one. That's most obvious in how many defense points bosses start to have for three- and four-character parties, because now you have way more chances to chip away at them on any given turn. The combat system really starts to click once you have a full party, too, so I'm excited to see what late-game bosses are like.

I had an hour left on the demo so I played it again and man this game looks and sounds so good (well aside from the hammy voice acting perhaps). My only gripe is that any armor I equip doesn't show up on the character sprite which I hate but I don't play jrpgs so I don't know if that's the norm or not.

With sprites its very very rare to change the model at all. Some games have different forms, octopath has different sprites based on subclass so that's cool. Usually a palette swap is the best you get. Actually seeing armor changes is pretty exclusive to 3d jrpgs I think.

Yeah that's really really normal for the genre. Even JRPGs that don't use sprites only rarely show armor on your character model. Like Zaphod says, you do have at least some customization because your subclass can change your sprite. Some of the subclass costumes are pretty great, too.

It's kinda common in games with job systems: FF3, FF5, FFT, FFD, Ogre Battle series and the Bravely games come immediately to mind. e: Though BD/BS are 3D so you can ignore those.

Sprites changing for classes is fairly common, but not for equipped armor. Even in 3D JRPGs it's more remarkable when armor shows up than when it doesn't.

Dude I explicitly called out changing sprites for changing forms. That's not the same as changing sprites for changing armors. Like Chrono Trigger does palette swaps when you change weapons but it doesn't do anything for armors. Tactics only changes for classes, not armors. I guess they do change the weapon sprite when you do the swing, so its like CT.

Idk if this had been confirmed or not but the character you pick first is always in your party. I hadn't considered this when picking for the demo but I went with Alfyn and I think I'm gonna stick with that. He seems like a good all-rounder.

Alfyn is a good boy and he is my friend (and main character pick) I thought I'd like Cyrus more but his overall setup kinda bored me, and I ended up liking Alfyn's whole "I'm going to help people with an aw-shucks attitude but secretly I'm cold as ice and will sass a giant snake before and after beating the poo poo out of it with an axe" thing. I hope the experience scaling for lower-level party members is significant because I'm sure I'll be switching up my party constantly.
