No problem, I was just following the discussion of how they're used in the menu compared to previous games. I'm quite fond of the art in this game, so it doesn't really matter to me whether the menu goes with 2D or 3D.
Oh ok sorry. I probably didn't follow the 2D discussion with enough focus or something ha ha.
Surprised they felt good enough about showing this build on treehouse for an extended period.
They did say they're working on polishing the game up and 5 or so months should be enough to make a notable difference, but I don't imagine many would watch the demonstration with some lighting pop up and grass fading in a few feet away and walk away impressed.
I walked away impressed. But I also don't have high standards.
I think we reached good enough graphics a long time ago anyway.
Both of them are like that.
They look very generic in the first place and if I'm not mistaken there is even more of these kind of guys to get.
Down the treehouse video they kill that guy by the wanted poster who's blade was a similar but slightly different ...actually it may be the same model as Kirim... looking version of these guys and "is a spear," you can also see what I believe is him in the Blade Menu.
And now the question is, how far they go in the "pokemon" aspect I was talking about (which probably only comes from my own conversations with someone else : P.
The person I was talking to was imagining different rarities for Blades.
We talk a lot around that and thought we might get special Blades from side quests, unique enemies or in chests (if there is), as well as key ones during the story.
But there's also the question of who gets what. Can every main character get the same Blades with only the story ones (and some from hidden rarequests) that would be their own ?
Right now the only thing we know is that Rich got one from the very first lvl 5 weak enemy that doesn't even seem to be a mandatory battle, meaning, if this is a normal build of the game, that you can drop Blades from random creatures.
But after that it doesn't seem like he gets any other which is also weird. How could he be so lucky to get one during the very first fight and then nothing during 40 minutes of battles (ok less than that, but still...)
The 2 Blades share some design similarity also, so I was thinking there might be a pool of Blades you can get in each areas. There design could be related to the region you get them. But maybe this type of design is related to their rank which is most certainly low.
And so on and so forth... And that's just one little part of the whole thing.
What about te evolution of the Arts ? It's in the characters menu. But Arts are given by the Blades.
Not to mention the 3, 4 other menus in the character section.
Please Monolith... give us some details.
