Because were finally getting SD3 over Japan legally, I decided to finally finish something that forced me to play a lovely game, but it was worth it.
Cant wait to see what new info we get on the remake

I'm 3 or 4 hours in to Trials of Mana for the first time and grasping the controls and combat is proving incredibly difficult. I spent probably 15 minutes last night trying to figure out exactly how to switch characters beyond holding L/R to temporarily control, how to equip items on other characters, how to cast spells with other characters, etc. Feel dumb in hindsight, given that it's mostly that I forgot the select button existed and didn't try it for a very long time.

That said, I have a few questions. My party is Reisz, Hawke, Charlotte:
1) Is there a good overall combat guide that I can watch or read?
2) If not, is there more to combat than simply walking up to an enemy, mashing the attack button, and hoping you don't miss? Only one party member has any spells (Charlotte), and my main (Reisz) doesn't seem to do anything besides the basic attack.
3) Can I screw myself if I don't level up properly? I don't care about min/maxing, but I don't want to get to the end of the game and find out I shouldn't have put any stats towards X with character Y and it screwed me.
4) At a shop do I really have to exit out of the menu to switch which characters stats it shows before I buy something?

I really hope Charlotte doesn't talk like this in the remake. I instantly regretted my choice.

1. Theres no need. Combat is straightforward. Pressing L or R makes you change characters, including during the item/spell rings.
2. Thats the gist of it. Spacing and planning actually helps, as you do get more meter for hitting multiple enemies and can make some of their attacks whiff. Both Riesz and Hawkeye get spells when they class chance which is lvl 18.
3. Just with Hawkeye really, he needs agility to get his spells on class change. Charlotte may need some spirit for her spells but she should be raising that anyways to improve healing and holy ball. Stats get capped of their previous class when the change, so theres leeway on what you want to put.
4. for equipment? Shouldn't have to, it should show what difference is when you select yes the 1st time when it asks if another memeber wants it.

I don't think either of those is surprising but I remember people asking.

neat. I think only Angela had a different ending if you took her route or not. Everyone else remained the same I think.

The more I see of the game, the more I cant wait to play it. Though some things do bug me, namely some of the VA's.

Duran, Angela, and Hawkeye all sound great. Kevin does sound young but fits enough. Charlotte is more on the script decision than the VA. Riesz's VA is...not good. The more you see of her in dialogue the more you notice that she cant deliver emotion and stops for no reason, which is weird since in battle she's fine.

gently caress yes, Demo wednesday
gently caress yes, extra story and 4th level class

Oh no those designs aside Angela's look samey as what they already had, and what the gently caress is that Riesz outfit? It doesn't even look plausible or cool or all that hot because it looks so stupid. Everything below the breasts is a freggin disaster.

Its really fun to play. Some of the voice acting is a bit off sync, but most of it was adequate. Riesz' thankfully is actually A LOT better than what they had shown us, still had a few moments of robotic-ness but overall was actually pretty solid. My dumbass didn't realize L3 was for running until I got to Wendel, so I basically spent like an hour or so doing air dodging near the ground to travel since it has no landing recovery. I got so see a good amount of Riesz butt due to that so thats nice, and combat flowed smoothly and was responsive.

Also Angela's favorite letter is the letter E.

Those weird choose a spirit/Farie things are totally gone as well, which is no loss since they never made much sense and were barely used anyway.


E:By the way, did we ever find out who the english VA's are? Some sound really familiar.

I grew up hearing Lise, Carlie, and Hawk but im used to the correct terms due to exposure for so long.
All the art ive seen that its Riesz, prolly because too many funny times with Hawkeye and Riesz is an actual name.

Angela / Hawkeye / Riesz would be a fun party if it weren't for the no heals aspect.

Edit: it appears as long as you have the prerequisite stat filled, as you unlock spirits their magic becomes automatically available to you as opposed to waiting to level up, which is cool.

it feels pretty BALLS TO THE WALL in a way.
Also Riesz apparently gets a Victory heal in her light classes. They finally gave Riesz healing of somekind go figure.

Looks like one of Kevin's later class full screen techs, the Zable Fahr fight, and Lightgazer

admittedly, the most hype I got for the direct was for X-com on Switch and Kings Bounty 2.
Cool of Nintendo to advertise though. This game needs all the help in promotion it can get.

Enemies actually do damage. pretty prioritized amount.
Demo was essentially a tutorial. Literally as soon as you enter golden road enemies hit about 4-5 times harder than they did in the demo, while having more and bigger packs.


This is on Hard btw.

I mean it's pretty tempting to pick Angela for team bad voice but I guess Riesz is a better fit.

Can you change difficulty mid-game? I want to play on hard but as said if it just results in later bosses just being walls of HP I don't want that.

Dont worry Riesz being a prim and proper dork who turns into a robot a few times fits well with Elmer Charlotte and whatever the hell Kevin is supposed to be.
And dont think theres anyway to change difficulty.


Only real thing that bugs me so far is class changing taking oddly longer than it should and that it doesnt reset points.
