See? Already better than VP. No need for a guide here.

VP was never fluid. VP sucks.

Post by: demi on March 17, 2009, 05:25:47 PM: It's just as fluid. Notice howthe girl misses because the enemy is in the air. VP is just as fluid in the same aspect. VP DS > VP 1 & 2

Post by: demi on March 17, 2009, 09:25:50 PM: I think the permadeath is part of the game. The game is about Wylfred, who wants revenge against Lenneth because she took his father but left his sister to die. Wylfred dies in the beginning of the game, but is revived by an obvious evil being who forms a pact with him with some sort of covenant. During the game, you get the choice on sacrificing people to gain power to defeat Lenneth. I think this is the permadeath involved.

In order to get the good ending, you dont use the feather. Otherwise, feel free if you want the normal or bad endings.

And a god will feel a mortal's pain

Post by: demi on March 17, 2009, 09:28:00 PM: Wiki's explanation

Quote
Another new factor in battle involves the power of Wylfred's Goddess's Feather. By invoking the power of this item, the player can chose to temporarily grant an ally with vastly improved statistics and abilities that vary from individual to individual. Once the battle ends, however, the Goddess's Feather's power overwhelms that person's physical form, causing them to perish. It is up to the player to weigh these dire consequences against what they wish to accomplish with this dangerous power.

Post by: demi on March 17, 2009, 11:29:56 PM: Ok, I played a little more.

In each level, you have a SIN counter. You increase Sin by doing Overkills and dealing extra damage. You can also get Sin by using the feather on a person. If you reach the amount of Sin required, you get bonus goodies.

You can only have 4 people out at a time (A B X Y). You can set the people up in formations to deal extra damage and have bonuses - as you can see in that video.

There are towns that you can buy new equipment and items at. You can buy skill books that when used, you can equip them and they activate when you start a fight. Some examples are to direct attacks to one person, make the enemy not that person attack, or randomly gain half the HP from the damage they deal.

Post by: demi on March 18, 2009, 12:21:32 AM: I dont think they're really connected as much as VP -> VP2 was

I would consider it a side story
