There are no random encounters in Child of Light; rather, you see every enemy within the environment and, upon touching them, are thrust into battle. Child of Light's battle system is a variant of the Active Time Battle system employed in the Final Fantasy series. At the bottom of the screen, a bar shows how long it will take for enemy actions (and those of your own) to initiate; casting big spells or employing special moves will increase or decrease your attack timing, so planning is paramount.

"child, touch yourself in bed"

Did I hear that right?

This looks so good. Hopefully the battle system isn't too simple / boring

"Tuck", although I did have to listen to it three times.

The Wii U version will be the most whimsical, tho.

Gonna wait for the rev.... ahh who am I kidding, I'll probably pick this up day one. Grandia battle system FTW!

demi · « **Reply #15 on:** April 15, 2014, 09:16:13 PM »

You can watch me play it when I stream it on my Xbox One (tm)

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2014, 01:13:46 PM »

New info:

The game has multiple party members, and they can be swapped like FFX

Unlike FFX however, you dont need to swap them in to get XP. Everyone gets it regardless.

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2014, 12:25:29 PM »

Reviews are out now - some good, some bad. Most people suggest playing on Hard difficulty, as the game is generally babby's first RPG.

Still buying it, you can watch me play when I stream it if you're interested.

Mupepe · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2014, 01:08:32 PM »

how much is this bad boy? I'm getting it no matter what but I'd like to be able to spend by Xbucks on it

demi · « **Reply #19 on:** April 28, 2014, 01:24:13 PM »

$15 - but I swear I read $20

So assume $20

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2014, 03:02:49 PM »

It $15 on Steam

Mupepe · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2014, 03:10:57 PM »

$15 - $20 isn't bad at all. I'm definitely down just for the battle system

demi · « **Reply #22 on:** April 29, 2014, 01:33:16 PM »

This is out already on PS4, and probably other platforms. ONE version isnt until midnight or so.

It is $15 confirmed. Thankfully I still have $16.xx on my account.

Mupepe · « **Reply #23 on:** April 29, 2014, 01:50:47 PM »

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Gonna blow my xbucks on this. I assume it's not available for preloading on X1?

demi · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2014, 01:51:35 PM »

ONE doesnt support pre-loading, no

Beezy · « **Reply #25 on:** April 29, 2014, 02:44:17 PM »

Smh, I thought this would be on Steam today. Would've been perfect since I have the day off.

About to start, if you're interested in watching me~

magus · « **Reply #31 on:** April 30, 2014, 07:34:25 PM »

i'm curious about this game because it's a turn based rpg but i honestly don't believe that the software house that farts assassin creed every year can do a good turn based rpg and i have an hard time taking impression from the internet because it looks artsy as fuck and the internet love anything that "SHOW WHAT THE MEDIUM CAN TRULY DO!"

demi · « **Reply #32 on:** April 30, 2014, 07:36:30 PM »

I think it's awesome so far. Music is great.

demi · « **Reply #33 on:** April 30, 2014, 07:53:25 PM »

Awesome battle music. I posted this and it made it that much more epic.

Raban · « **Reply #34 on:** April 30, 2014, 08:44:04 PM »

y'all should really go watch demi play this right now, he'll charm the pants off you with his uninterrupted silence and top-tier gameplay

brob · « **Reply #35 on:** April 30, 2014, 08:48:12 PM »

alternatively: look at this picture with demi and his lovely OST playing in the background

Mupepe · « **Reply #36 on:** April 30, 2014, 11:51:33 PM »

We'll I only got to play for an hour or so. I finished chapter 2 but damn this game is pretty good. The art and music are top notch and eh battle system is great. It's not too active so I don't feel stressed trying to control the flow of battle but it's not too slow so I don't go into autopilot with just pressing A over and over. It's perfectly engaging and is flexible enough to feel like strategizing is actually necessary. Definitely worth 15 bucks

He's not doing shit. Oh wait there he goes. He was just sitting in a battle for like 15 minutes straight. I'm thinking about starting up the PC version I downloaded now. I didn't know this was an RPG like this.

If you're going to be so goddamn quiet in a stream demi at least bring me on for color commentary.

This isnt a game that doesnt deserve my interruptions - the music is so good. I'm listening to it on my iPod at work right now.

Raban · « **Reply #41 on:** May 01, 2014, 01:08:45 PM »

what part of uninterrupted silence did you guys not understand? he's trying to respect the ARTISTRY OF CŒUR DE PIRATE'S FLAWLESS COMPOSITION, FUCKERS. You don't get high-class gaming snobbery like this anywhere else on Twitch

demi · « **Reply #42 on:** May 01, 2014, 01:24:03 PM »

Every one of you are now banned from my stream. Find your quality elsewhere.

hampster · « **Reply #43 on:** May 01, 2014, 05:01:36 PM »

There are a couple games I look up on twitch just to listen to, like Valdis Story, and avoid hearing people talk. It would be simpler to just track down the soundtrack but sometimes all the battle noises add something. Osu is another game where as soon as someone talks I switch streams

demi · « **Reply #44 on:** May 01, 2014, 05:06:31 PM »

i'm gonna stream it today when i get home from work and yall can fuck off. how bout that.

Bebpo · « **Reply #45 on:** May 01, 2014, 05:50:58 PM »

Like magus, interested in how this turns out. Western takes on jrpgs have a pretty iffy track record. Mainly interested in:

-Battle system depth, quality
-Sub-system character growth systems depth, variability
-Story

Also, as an aside, why do all non-Japanese rpgs have to be "baby first rpg?" even popular wrpgs that are big like Bioware stuff is "hit X and sit back and watch your characters win". I mean I'm asking this rhetorically because I understand that any game trying to sell to the mass AAA mainstream audience will make it super easy regardless of the genre to appease the most players, but it's still a bit lame. Like even the indie Zeboyd Games rpgs I tried like Penny Arcade Ep3 and Cthulu are super no-difficulty easy.

I feel like the one one making challenging rpgs are the Japanese and maybe the Pillars of Eternity will be challenging. I like having to think of strategy to beat scenarios.

Raban · « **Reply #46 on:** May 01, 2014, 05:53:03 PM »

it seems like as hard as they tried, this is still a really Ubisoft-y game. Everything you list there isn't gonna be any better/memorable than other games in the genre, especially the story (which appears to be offensively bad as opposed to forgettable/good). The pretty seems to be the only selling point.

Raban can tell you about the amazing rhyme they had near the end of the game. Doctors will HATE you for it.
