The Legend of Legacy combat system details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 1 Comment
A new report from Famitsu provides concrete details about the combat system in The Legend of Legacy. We’ve rounded up some details from Gematsu’s translation below.
– Enemies appear on dungeon maps
– Roam them and bumping into them triggers turn-based combat encounters
– The game uses spirits and magic to set itself apart from other RPGs
– Form contracts with spirits during battle to use elemental techniques known as “Spirit Arts”
– With their continued usage, strengthens spirits of the same element, as well as the corresponding Spirit Arts
– 4 element types: water (blue), wind (green), fire (red), and dark (purple)
– The balance of power between these four elements, which is displayed on the lower screen, changes over the course of battle as Spirit Arts are used
– Enemies can use Spirit Arts as well
– Therefore careful consideration of what elements are in play must be made in order to remain on top
– Good manipulation of the system is said to also make it possible for players to take out enemies that would otherwise be way out of their league, making elemental manipulation a major priority during fights
– “Implore”: form a contract with a water spirit
– After a special cutscene plays, water element Spirit Arts are unlocked for use in the fight
– The Spirit Arts that are unlocked through this process depend on the type of Spirit Vessel currently equipped
– Ex: the contract allows the water element Spirit Art “Splash Wall” to be used, which, in accordance with the name, erects a wall of water in front of the party, automatically protecting the party from enemy attacks, enabling everyone to focus purely on offense for the duration of it

A new patch for Forbidden Magna addresses issues with battle system
Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Forbidden Magna, a strategy RPG for the 3DS released earlier this month in Japan and has not necessarily been well received by fans.
The new update will hopefully address many of the issues, mainly steaming from the battle system.
The three main features of the patch:
– Enemy Strength (allows you to choose between easy, normal, hard)
– Fast Forward (holding down R allows you to speed up events)
– Gallery (new option to revisit cut-scenes and events)
