It looks like The Last Story was playable at Nintendo’s conference last week, and the Japanese press are beginning to release some of their impressions. Here are a few Google-translated details taken from a preview…
– 1st half of dungeon is with only Elza and Yuris
– Use the C button to gather a spell
– Spell casting will be interrupted if an enemy hits the person
– Switch between Elza’s bow and her sword anytime you want
– Elza’s bow was used to defeat an enemy witch who was hiding behind a wall and was healing all enemy characters
– Yuris can use a magic spell to blow up the bridge over the enemies
– You’ll get killed if you’re under the bridge when it’s destroyed
– – Sieren and Quark available for the second part of the demo
– Melee gameplay crisp/refreshing
– Use control stick and A to dodge enemy attacks
– Normal attacks executed automatically when you press the control stick towards an enemy when you have a sword equipped and are in range
– At the end of the demo with the boss, many normal enemies fight alongside it
