From what I know:Ok kite having data drain as a special is rediculously cool. I love the .hack games and i just had a nerdgasm when he used it, i dunno how exsactly this game works but if i can then im going to make kite/blackrose my main two.
Little help of stuff iv worked out for people who (like me) had no idea what they were doing at first:
- If you stand near another character when you attack an enemy, they become your support and you use R to bring them out during the fight
- Some characters have solo assists with them, use them with L
- When you get the XP bar to 100% you can press Y in battle to use an uber attack (which is badass)
- Press X on the map screen to bring up inventory with heals
Questions about the controls and gameplay tho:
- I assume timing attacks well so they flow from each other causes alot of damage (yellow damage) normal damage is white but what is "blue" damage?
- What does the X cross mean? or is it just a signal to say that you and a support/solo are attacking at the same time?
- How do you select between different character if you want to move them first on the map screen?
-Timing attacks increases your combo which in turn increases the chance of a crit (yellow attack). I think blue damage is blocked or partly blocked damage.
-When an X-cross is active the enemy will just stay floating in midair instead of falling to the ground so you won't lose your combo.
-I don't think this is possible, order is predetermined, probably by speed stat or something.
From what I saw in the demo this looks like it'll be rather similar to OG Saga Endless Frontier. Bosses with tons of HP that can take 20 minutes to kill and them having an attack that will pretty much oneshot your characters, so you better have revival items/abilities. And the 100% uber attacks are still awesome.
