I think people's experience with Hard will vary based on how you are with action rpgs. I'm by no means an expert but I do tend to always chooser harder difficulties if possible and I didn't find Hard challenging (was still fun) outside of one or two spikes and that was mainly the AI not avoiding the aoes. I never took a healer with me, went pure damage and I was fine with healing, they literally throw healing items at you non-stop and on Hard, you can still use 9 of each in your ring menu.

Considering you can take 9 Candys, Chocolates, Honey Elixirs, group heal items (rarer though), Revival items etc, it's more than enough. I defeated the postgame boss on Hard in just over a minute i'd say.

I love pretty much all about this game, except how the girls look. Is there any way to, you know, give them clothes that don't make them look like strippers?

Man the Corona situation certainly messed up Amazon's delivery and info systems. First, no release date and expected arrival until tuesday, then on wednesday expected arrival next week wednesday (April 29), yesterday few minutes before midnight of today shipping confirmation, and just moments ago the delivery confirmation.

Anyway, glad this came this week, if i can wrestle the Switch from my kids and their AC playing it's going to be a sweet weekend.

Only thing you can do is pick a class that looks ... less ... like a stripper on the various class changes. Though emphasis on "looks less" and not "doesn't look like". ^^

If you hate all the classes' costumes there's nothing to be done, but when you go up classes you can pick whether to use the default costume for that class or stick with earlier costumes you had.

I like a lot of this game, and thought my SO (notorious anti gamer with just 2 exceptions) might enjoy it...then a protag was shown looking like a stripper and...fuck.
Jesus, SE, just add a stripper slider in the options menu!

Stick with Riesz and Angela's Light jobs. Those costumes are less absurd, especially for Riesz:

trials-of-mana_2020-03-17_003.png

Still not ideal, but the best option available, short of just not choosing Angela. Can't verify this myself, but we've heard reclassing is in the game, so you *may* be able to go Light for them and then reclass to Dark while keeping the Light costumes, if you prefer the Dark classes gameplay-wise.

Got my Switch physical for portable play. Performance is still rough - feels like it's not hitting 30 fps most of the time, camera pans are particularly egregious in the post demo starting area. But such is the price for Switch portability in this game.

" An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed. " When trying to use my steam wallet + my paypall account. :/ I don't know why i have more than enough money in my account for it. I think i will just try my paypall by itself.
That is really weird. I hope I won't have issues when I want to buy it.

I have a feeling when the intro scene with the fairies kicks in I'm going to tear up, I already did it when I realized the song back during the original reveal last year.

(Come on UPS and get faster here with my physical version. lol)

Going with an all-women team this time around, not sure how I'll class spec yet though...

Giving the Switch demo a whirl and man, something about the camera just doesn't gel with me, namely the vertical camera. I don't know what it is.
Gave the PS4 demo a shot and yeah, the camera feels much better there. Most likely due to the difference between 60fps and 30fps. As long as its stable, I usually don't super care for framerate, but something about this being 30fps in this game just feels off to me.

So, now I'm lost as to which version to buy. The portability of the switch is very important to me and will definitely allow me to play through this the numerous it asks of me, but it doesn't feel good to play to me. The PS4 version looks and plays really nice, but I typically don't buy 3rd party games on that system when there's a day-and-date PC release, and since I have a pretty beefy PC I can crank this thing up to much higher framerate's (if it allows it or until someone mods it)... but not only do I typically not like Square's PC port jobs, this thing apparently has denuvo.

I know, first world problems and whatnot but man, this is a bummer.

If you never play the PS4/PC versions of games, you don't know what you're missing out on.

True. It's like looking beyond the game in FMA. Such knowledge comes at a cost, haha.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up picking up the Switch version. It really looks great and portability is just that important to me.

I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm trying to avoid reading through the thread for spoilers.

I just wanna know, whats the best party compositions to get the most out of the story. Which main character and side characters should I pick?

Yeah Amazon order tracking is wild right now. My order says it will be delivered Tuesday and that it hasn't shipped yet, but I noticed Amazon charged me on Weds for the game and they don't usually do that until they have shipped the item. (Amazon policy is no charge until the item is on it's way)

I half expect to find it in my package drop off today when I get home from work despite it still showing as "not shipped" on the website.

Amazing title.

I still have to finish the trilogy. Loved the first one, hated the second and kinda stalled halfway on the third.

Just chiming in to say I am absolutely loving this. The audio/visuals, while not technically impressive, are very aesthetically appealing!

I love how kikuta updated the tracks. A modern light touch but still very faithful to the originals.

And what have you the audio is amazing. Remains a classic to this day.

Anyone got some more Switch impressions of the final game with the day 1 patch? Apparently the slower diagonal movement wasn't fixed according to posts on reddit.

I personally haven't played it yet, but I hope it's not too bad.

If you're good at dodging than the difficulty remains pretty easy, but I dunno the damage dealt plus the AOEs gets rather hectic and painful

Are Angela and Charlotte fun to play? I was only seeing beginning gameplay so I wasn't seeing much magic. Is playing a magic user later satisfying?
