2/2

Party time! Now I can learn names! Gerome and Gabriel, okay, cool. But wait… is Cecilia not Kathleen? As in, Cecilia isn’t the same character who fainted earlier? Uh…okay. ( I now realize that Leo looks like the lovechild between Zell and Guile, but, like, more stereotypically gay looking)

Um…okay, now I’m confused (but in a totally lol way) so, uh, hi Caspar and Guinevere. Nice to meet you. So glad ya’ll introduced yourselves before, y’know…teaming up with us without a word.

I like the way they handle LP in this game! Sounds really nice, like a natural evolution for that system.

Characters have a set of base stats -- your typical STR, DEX, INT, etc. kind of thing. These are static and only change based on equipment.

Woah, really? So they don’t even rise from completing battle? That’s crazy, but kind of cool. I wonder if skills are totally dependent on the weapon or if there are any which are unique to the characters. (Watch you address this in, like, the next sentence.)

I like the graphic style, though I have no idea what the hell is going on with Caspar’s shirt. It’s kind of hilarious (it’s both tiny and frilly) but I respect his ‘no fucks given’ attitude. You be you, man.

I like the idea of seeing the actions the enemies have queued. That’s a very strategic element that could would be a huge boon in terms of planning out your turn. If implemented well, I’d love to see it in more titles.

timeline join together to beat up on an opponent.

That is so awesome! It reminds me of Persona 3’s All Out Attack, even if they are mechanically very different lol. I feel like it would happen more to the player than the enemies though, since you’ll (ideally) be taking out members of the enemy party on a far more regular basis than having your peeps getting taken out.

(…) defeat the enemy, the allies will come together and connect, and all three allies will get a bonus attack on en enemy

Annnnnd addressed my concern. Hahah opps.

sometimes the gods will favor you, and you'll get a 'Grace,'

So, basically Grace looks down from on high while having her daily tea and decides to use some of her considerable power to aid the travelers whom pique her interest. (Shhh, it’s canon and they just haven’t revealed it yet)

Can you cut down on the loading by installing the game to the system or something?

I loved reading your impressions on this game! I have a feeling this will never see the light of day stateside, so the only way I really get to experience it is vicariously through these posts haha. Is it even possible to stream Vita games? (I have no idea how the world works, obviously)

(disclaimer: please ignore how rough these comments are. I was trying to read through a reply during the 4 second pockets of downtime I’ve been getting every few hours at work *cough*)
