Thanks for the heads up! I found this rip of what I assume is just the Trials of Mana part of that presentation, get it while it's still hot:

Holy poo poo that bit with Fullmetal Hugger has me hyped beyond reason, both for how good it looks and the idea of just how good the Dangaard fight/the rendition of Hightension Wire will be. :swoon:

I guess I'll just have to pass the time by playing the Collection version for now. :v:

Okay, now I'm trying to get my hands on ??? Seeds in the Jungle of Illusion before I hit 38 and I'm seriously considering just tossing my hands in the air and not playing further. I forgot how annoying this was.

I always found it easiest to get them from the Light God-Beast area.

I about jumped out of my seat in joy when the intro to High Tension Wire kicked in. I didn't think I could be any more hyped and then they went and did that.

EDIT: Also, the big take from this is that it's seemingly confirmed that we're expected to class change into our final classes by the time we're taking down the Benevodons which owns!

That and holy poo poo actual boss mechanics!!! :supaburn:

The attack telegraphs also look very good in motion. Combat rolling out of the Mama Poto Lucent Beams was so radical, what the gently caress. Thank god for New Horizons giving me something to distract myself with until Trials comes out.

Now all I need to see is the Dangaard fight. I hope it's rad as hell. :pray:

All the concerns about difficulty based on the demo seem completely overblown. The game has had its boot on my throat since the Machine Golem boss on the bridge and hasn't let up since. That room in Valsena with five loving machine golems can eat my entire taint. But also,

I've been playing with Character Voices muted because I really don't like the voice acting but dig the game a lot otherwise! This makes cutscenes awkward because pressing x doesn't just progress past the current line of dialog, it progresses all the way to the next one, so I end up skipping over a lot of parts of cutscenes and having to figure out what happened afterward, and presumably leading to more issues like this where skipping dialog in a cutscene could make something else fail to load

Set the text speed to instant and that fixes the issue with regards to missing bits of dialogue.

Now that the game's out: for people playing on Hard, how much of a pain is it to deal with having no healing spells? Really leaning towards a Hawkeye, Riesz, Angela playthrough.

Like it is "you'll barely notice because items are plentiful" level, or "you'll have to go out of your way to get extra healing items and you'll definitely notice" level?

I've been playing Angela/Riesz/Kevin and I've been feeling it. On the other hand, nothing has been frustratingly hard, just "you better play well or else" and I could probably micro-manage Kevin and Riesz more to save on grails and poo poo.

I also haven't been back to Beisel yet to get more Poto Oil. :v:

I got the fourth elemental last night, would I be correct to assume that collecting all 8 marks roughly the halfway point of the story?

Ish? I'd probably say something like 40/40/20 for the element hunt, what occurs after that, and then the finale, at least basing off of the original SNES version.

I got extremely lucky and pulled the classes I wanted for Reize and Hawkeye in my first two seeds.

I then proceeded to get nothing but more classes for them while poor Kevin languished for ages.

I had a similar outcome. First pull was Grand Diviner Angela, then the wrong Riesz one (I wanted Star Lancer), the other Angela one, a dupe of the wrong Riesz one, a dupe of the Grand Diviner one, and then finally the Star Lancer one.

Kevin was in class 2 while I was liquifying Zable Fahr with lasers. :v:

If anything it's even stronger now, especially once you get into the late/postgame. I've got Angela throwing them for upwards of 600 healing a person into a ~1200 HP health pool.

Incidentally, one thing about the story's intense faithfulness to the original is that Kevin's dad gets away with a lot of heinous poo poo.

On the upside, in the postgame you get to exact some sort of cathartic revenge by beating his loving rear end for the Class 4 unlock item.

Nah, I got all three of the ones I took through my first playthrough so you can get those done in two.

You still need three runs through to get Dragonlord/Dark Lich/Archdemon though.

Physical damage dealers can also benefit from that, though. It's really noticeable with stuff like Riesz's level 1 CS, etc.
