And how they were talking early on about making reusable tilesets.
It has been 8 months since the game released, so it is getting close to a year. The poor Switch release and reception made them change their priorities and allocate all available resources to fixing it up for nearly the entire time. I can't imagine this was their original plan. I'd think they probably planned to do a brief bug fixing period and immediately jump into getting Zangetsu ready to go. Still, I'll be excited to experience the game again whenever it does make it out.
Mmm, it's hard to know exactly bc the game is somewhat non-linear and it's been a while for me, but I'd say you're somewhere between half and 2/3?
Whip is amazing w/ its command move and jump attack cancels. Has the bonus of hitting a good amount of area above and behind Miriam too. It's my second favorite after longswords.
"Normal" is kind of easy once you get past Zangetsu. Hard (and nightmare) is where bosses get their full moveset and the game feels closer to Order of Ecclesia in terms of difficulty. With proper upgrading of weapons and shards the game will still feel easy but that's kind of how power progression feels in IGA's games. Hard mode just pushes that part of the curve out a bit more.
Oh man, OoE is one of my faves. I am not a replay kind of gamer though, hmm. *shrug* will keep going on normal and see how I feel at the end.
It's not up on the GamePass version of it. I haven't checked the PS4 version yet.
If you enter the name NIGHTMARE as the file name you unlock all the difficulties. If you're not too far in it might be worth restarting if you want more of a challenge if this is going to be your only run.
Gave Zangetsu a quick try. On Normal difficulty, he feels a bit OP b/c he kills everything so fast. The flip side of that is, he can't heal or use items at all. The whole castle is unlocked from the start, so if you wander into endgame bosses like Revenant in the Warhorse Room you're going to be in for a very quick death (at least I was - 2 hits and I was a goner)! He does gain XP, level up, and you can find the HP/MP ups, but all other items are removed.
I literally one-shot him with 8-bit Fireball and was like wtf happened? Even got the medal for beating him without getting hit but didn't get to keep it after reloading.
hey that makes it much easier! whatever guide I pulled up made it seem much more intricate. I think they are including what to do to get through the game regardless of ending. Thanks for that
No trouble at all, here to help spread the Bloodstained love!
