I think it's worth mentioning the fact that supers set your ATB recovery instead of multiplying it. If yer gonna burn a full trio of ATB pips, you'll see a dramatic difference if you use... say, Razmi and do Heal Up Up (extremely long, ~9.25 seconds to recharge all 3 pips) vs Up Up Heal (only ~4.5s).
Whoa, I honestly did not see that chick. Me liek. I'll add her to my Imaginary team with Aztec man.
Kai... can you do a test voice reel just like you did with Beowulf?I've started to warm up to Vasco. I like the implications of his visual design, he seems to be a somewhat unsavory character. I feel like he's the kind of man to have his own code of frontier ethics that some people just don't understand. "Stay outta my way, I'll stay outta yours."
In my nightmares, I can already hear the low-effort anime version of a cowboy accent in my head, though. That would be disappointing.
What about Arthur?
I second this. Embrace the Vasco in you.
He screams like... European explorers/soldiers encroaching on "new" territory to me. Bringing "civilization" to the savages. He could very well not be a nice person initially >.> ... but he cool.I've started to warm up to Vasco. I like the implications of his visual design, he seems to be a somewhat unsavory character.

Although this is all obviously conjecture, I don't agree with your assessment. The way his sleeves are tailored speaks to a Native American style, so I think he's probably been out among the natives for some time. There might be some shades of Dances With Wolves, but more roguish. He's probably got a few squaws in villages across the frontier ;)
Okay seriously Kai, you have Vasco all planned out in your head, and it seems like you have an idea of what he could sound like. Just make the voice reel, pls I want to see you do the role so badly now.Although this is all obviously conjecture, I don't agree with your assessment.

Hmm, good point! It's mostly the armor that catches my eye. If he was just a normal frontiersman it would strike me as odd that he would have something like that, but he could very well be an ex-soldier who has become a native sympathizer! Man, I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT VASCOAlthough this is all obviously conjecture, I don't agree with your assessment.

I know what you mean with the look of the armor, but I don't think the cloth tailoring would be as it is if it were as clean-cut as that. I with you, I want to know more.
Haha, let's wait until his portrait's been colored by the team, first. Gotta have the whole picture ;)
Double-Edge Double has been my internal name for her.
Vasco is an old Basque name, meaning, "crow." I think the visual design reflects that.
He was colored, just on the small picture of all the incarnations so far.
I thought that was a fan coloring? No?
Do you even need to make an account? I thought all you needed was a valid email and a means to pay the money.
I kinda wanna discuss the ball game/aztec dude, since this is a little bit of a topic I have a reasonable bit of knowledge on. I think alex said he was based on the on the ball game, which is prevalent through all of mesoamerica, and even as far north as Arizona. The earliest known court to my knowledge is in Olmec ruins (actually I think I'm wrong about this part better check my notes I think the stuff is from Chalcatzingo which is a different people not sure) who share quite a bit of similarity to the Maya and I guess could be argued to be have influenced them or been their originators but thats something to discuss elsewhere.
The Olmec made these big dumb heads and we don't know what they were for or who exactly they were, but some have speculated that they could have been ball game players, cause the weird flat part looks kinda like a helmet, which would make sense considering the ball they play with is solid rubber. But there isn't any evidence that they actually did and the idea kinda just comes from a society of people who play football.
Also in Olmec and Mayan (I think) cultures theres this recurring theme of the underworld and afterlife and stuff being represented as existing within the mouth of an animal. This is an example from chalcatzingo I think.
So you can see where his head thing might come from. I know wearing Jaguar pelts is an Aztec thing, and Maybe feathers is a Mayan thing or both? All in all it seems like most of his design represents a pretty large area as a whole, and since he's based on the ball dudes I think it'd be pretty cool to see how thats incorporated into his combat, like ricocheting balls off dude's domes cause that sounds pretty cool to me.
Yeah, I just registered anyway.
Fucking hell, dude. It's fine for people to make certain kinds of jokes about themselves, but totally inappropriate for others to say :/
You're wrong about that, btw. Over multiple turns, spending meter to heal one character a bit more is much less useful than healing everyone, since you can let it damage everyone for a few turns and then heal them all with only 1 cooldown. Don't forget the cooldown.
Heal+action button would work, so would heal -> L/R/D/U.
I had recorded a voiceover for the update that didn't get used... :^P
What do you mean, heal+action? Isn't heal using action button itself?
During the super flash, press another action button.
Oh. I guess.
I think he's talking about a single target heal that is a regular action. If, in the full game, you guys are thinking about having different cooldowns for different Iddhi attacks, that'd also be cool. A single target strong heal with an abnormally fast cooldown for an Iddhi move seems to have tactical applications. A sorta weak single target heal with a long cooldown as a regular action could be cool, too. I know I'd use that character solely for that. Never been a fan of AoE heal when you have good more precise heals (unless, of course, the battle asks for AoE).
Valkyrie Profile's basic Heal spell is an 80% heal to all characters. :^P It's not about whether it's AoE, it's about what it does.
It can go to self or Ajna or most wounded.
Howdy, the game looks great and I'm really thinking about contributing. But I have to ask - why no option for the game only? At the pricing levels you've set, it looks like $20 for the game (but no soundtrack) would be consistent with the pricing scheme. This is the first game crowdfunding campaign I've seen without an option to buy the game sans soundtrack. I love soundtracks, but for projects I'm not as sure about I'll often take the cheaper option. Any reason there isn't a $20 tier with just the game?
