Atlus talks about the adjustments made for The Legend of Legacy’s overseas release

Atlus has been saying for awhile now that some improvements were made for the western release for The Legend of Legacy. We’re less than a week away from the game’s arrival in North America, and we finally have information on this front.

Most of the adjustments pertain to New Game+. Here’s the news straight from Atlus’ John Hardin:

• In NG+, all the money and formations you designed now carry over. Any special weapons you created will also be available to purchase in the shop.
• Drop rates for items and materials was increased across the board. Drop rate for rare items goes up in subsequent NG+. FICTITIOUS EXAMPLE TO ILLUSTRATE THIS POINT: The made-up drop rates for a rare item could be in the first 1st Game – 1%, in NG+ 5%, NG++ 8%, NG+++ 10% etc. Let me stress that these numbers are made up and I have no idea what they are for actual items.
• Finally, the time it takes the trade ship to return is decreased substantially. The ship uses real-world time, and we’ve decreased the amount of time it takes to return.

We’ll have a review up for The Legend of Legacy later today!
