You can't tell if you hit something?
Do you not hear the sound, do you not see the enemy being shaken byt the impact of your blows?
Do you not see the blood squirting out?
What do you need?

Repost for the new page:
Circle around the southeast part of the area and there's a rock sticking out on top of a hill, grab your pawns (mage first) and repeatedly throw them off until they die.
It doesn't take too long, knocks about 15% health off each throw, but you'll end up going into the night. The wait until dawn takes forever.

also all that clutter you can turn off in the options
Also seems to be a slight pause for the hit effects that I find somewhat annoying.
I've played through the demo like 10 times on each scenario. I'm completely sold, and I disliked it a bit initially.
Going to try playing 360 version here now.

Hah, totally going to do that if we can customize all our pawns in the full game
Party on, dude!

O man, I'm gonna attempt to make the A-Team. Fuck yess.
It's possible you might be off by 1 in the detail slider, cause your face looks off.I used those settings and she came out looking kinda different. Weird lol.
Was playing the Griffin for the 4th time yesterday and FINALLY noticed that it used the character I created. The first three times, I hadn't really paid attention and thought it used a pre-gen character, like in the prologue.
But I'm now assuming that the character you use in the prologue section of the demo will be the character you use in the prologue section of the full game?
I also turned off basically all the subtitles and found it a much better experience. I don't mind the chatter, just don't need it to take up half the screen.
Frankly, all I'd want is lock-on. I know a lot of people seem down on this game, but I'm getting really hyped for it. Sounds like it's almost perfectly up my alley.

There are Archer Skills with lock on. Other than that... nope, like Monster Hunter. Better without lock-on!
The only reason I noticed it was my custom character was because I made hobo Jesus.
And sure enough I noticed I was controlling a dude that looked like a hobo Jesus wearing Aragorn's armor (looked like it to me at first at least).
Played both versions back to back last night (720p on both).
I only noticed tearing on the 360 during cutscenes and the frame rate was fine. No tearing or noticeable frame rate issues on the PS3 for me.
I really like using the bow in this game, feels awesome. Lame demo and all, still pretty excited for this.

Finally got to play the demo. Fun but kinda unsure about it. Controls were fine though I wish there was more of a need to mess with the menu system. Also to see what more environments were like even if it was only video. At the moment I'm not sure I can spend $60 on the game. Would still like to play it after the demo, which wasn't the case after playing the Amalur demo. Started looking at both games at the same time. So might wait until it drops more unless NewEgg is offering a deal on a preorder and it hasn't ended. Then again this, Xenoblade, and The Last Story might be a bit much all at the same time. Though it can always sit to the side until I get to it.
Things seemed pretty easy in the demo though. I guess that was to be expected. Thought the fights would be harder though. Are there suppose to be a difficulty options in the game or just one standard that can't be changed?

This was intentional, your party and you are decked out with great weapons and armor, in the full game you start with shit.

It had an odd Lost Planet kind of feel to it.
The character creator was as unusual as the rest of the game. I think that adds to the charm of it, it's definitely out of the ordinary. Very chaotic game.

Man this game has huge potential and I'm loving the Japanese input in the dusty old high-fantasy settings. It just goes to show that Japan is still so very good at many things done wrong in the west. The way the characters, monsters move and animate is spot on. Even ugly characters look beautiful when compared to the mess in Bethesda and Bioware games.
Too bad the framerate was unforgivable on PS3.
Also night was weird... like I can't see literally anything but the sky and the glowing eyes of the griffin lol

Yes. The text when you highlight the Character Creator even says so.

Maybe my standards have just gone to shit, but the writing and voice acting seem really impressive.

Still don't get how people say the framerate on PS3 is bad...
I don't either, I certainly had no issues with it.
On that note, I also saw zero tearing on the 360 except for some cut scenes.
The fire blast from the dragon dropped the frame rate for me but that was about it. The first time I was a good distance from it and didn't have problems. The second time I closer before the blast hit and that's when I noticed the drop. Didn't have any issues outside of that. Didn't see any problems in the griffin fight.

you have to sacrifice a kitty
cause it is, if you dont see it then less you remain ignorant to see it, but it can hardly maintain 30.
Don't be shy keep on playing it. It wont bite...
NO. You must make yourself wait until release day.
Don't ask why! Just do it! Or don't do it in this case!!

I'm talking about where it's to a point that would have people jump on here like "THIS FRAMERATE SUCKS". Sorry, regardless of how high or low the fps is, it's fine for me and many others here.

I just tried this 8 times, no framerate drop at all. Getting hit by fire, not getting hit by fire, standing in the fire. Movement is responsive all the way.
Funny HoodWinked is calling people ignorant when he's basing his assumptions on MT Framework without even playing it on the PS3.

That is like every JRPG ever, though.

Won't work, there aren't enough options in the character creator to make the hair spiky enough or the eyes big enough.

Well I guess. But they are like, more JRPGy (like, more Anime).
Like, this game is very WRPG. Like something out of Lord of The Rings or D&D and not Final Fantasy. Like this world seems a lot more 'serious'.
And this is a character creator that lets you make kids, I can't really think of another game that lets you do that (that doesn't have their own 'kid' race like TERA).

Best character customization ever. I can make the funniest dudes ^_^
Also, the demo was super short and super easy. Neither option took more than like 10 minutes and I don't think I got hit once in either one :-(

u can only edit urself and 1 porn.

I've been playing the PS3 version of the game. The only time I ever notice framerate issues is when first entering a new area.
