I recall Bravely Default having this kind of system?One thing I've been wondering about, will there be an option to level down or lock your level, in normal or NG+ runs? Since the game's supposed to be particularly focused on skill over grinding, I'm hoping to see some fun with low level runs.
I wish The World Ends with You's level slider was something every RPG had.
Certainly didn't say this, about XP anyway.
FF4 FORCES you to change your party by removing and adding characters through plot. VP doesn't force you, rather it strongly encourages you to change up who you use.
For example, say characters must be used in combat to level up, but when not in combat they meditate or analyze the fights they watch, and can practice...so they'd receive a bonus to their XP gain for each fight they do not participate in, and that bonus would decay with each fight they do participate in. Thus to more quickly level up a character they'd have to sit out, whereas if you kept them in constantly they'd still level up but much more slowly.
Or it could be things like they level up by being in a fight, but levels don't give you extra Action gauges, so to get those they'd have to meditate by watching battles.
Etc.
Ah yeah that's the post I was thinking of. I guess he never does say it's going to work like that, he's just throwing out ideas. Thanks for finding the post!
now would you look at THESE SNEAK PEEKS
Yeah, Alex has always had a knack for pooling interesting character ideas together, any of which could make for a cool looking game. For those who don't know, he also has the Vulcan Heel group, the Halloween Dash group, and the Black Torch group, among other cool stuff.
Vulcan Heel is fucking rad. Before Indiv was announced I was wondering if the "secret project" was actually VH. Alex keeping old OCs around for ideas is good.
Wait, backer npcs are already being designed?
we don't know.
If they are, I think I missed an email.
Did you pledge for the Monster/Boss/Secret/Incarnation tier? If those really are Backer characters, then that's probably what tiers they're for. It sounded like they were trying to lock those requests down several weeks ago.
No, I pledged for the tier for an NPC, nothing like those you mentioned.Did you pledge for the Monster/Boss/Secret/Incarnation tier? If those really are Backer characters, then that's probably what tiers they're for. It sounded like they were trying to lock those requests down several weeks ago.
Hmm, yeah, I guess that actually could be what those are. I think there were about 15 or 16 of those pledges total, which would be roughly the number of sheets on that table minus the Divinity Tier. Sounds possible.
