“Wait, isn’t it a pain in the ass to level those 108 people?” Absolutely no! Because the way exp works in this game, there is very little need to grind. I wouldn’t mind spending 200 hours+ just to get to know more of these 108 people. You can found out more about them by paying a private investigator to investigate them, but honestly I’d wish it was made into side quests. This is what makes the game such a unique and profound experience, the large cast of very likeable characters that you can recruit to join your cause. One of them wants to be a dragon knight, one of them wants to pursue their love in first sight,one of them is looking for a place to sing, one of them wants to open a restaurant, one of them is a pervert unicorn that’s obsessed on virgins, and this all goes on for all 108 of them. The side quests are seriously great and fun to do, it ties directly into the people asking for them and develops the character for you to know them before they even join you.Įach, and I mean each and every single one of them have their own personality, quirks, backstory, and motivations no matter how small it is, expressed through their dialogue, portraits, or even battle stances. Some of them also requires you to do a side quest before they want to join you. You can recruit up to 108 people to join you in this game, a lot of them joins automatically, others you have to go out of your way to recruit them.
#LUCA BLIGHT DUEL HOW TO#
Next let’s talk about recruiting people, my favorite part of the game! Game dev seriously needs to learn on how to make side contents from this game, because it’s seriously great and much, MUCH better than 90% of recent games, my only complain is that I wish there are more of them.
#LUCA BLIGHT DUEL FULL#
I think only in the last battle you have full control of your unit and the battle, and even then all you need to do is move one of your unit into an enemy base, which isn’t that hard to do. Honestly I wouldn’t even call it a large-scale army battle, it’s just a gimmick or another mechanic of story-telling, as most of the time you only attack or move your units around until story sequence triggers where either one of the armies retreats or something else happens. Attack animations that takes a long time also doesn’t help the the case. The pacing is also really slow as most of your unit can only be able to move 1 tile each turn and were often clumped together, so it’s unlikely that you can do actual “strategic” move by using formations and stuff. But it’s actually so frustrating when you have all of your units attack in a turn and none of them hits an enemy ( This actually happened to me once ). Each unit had their own value of Attack and Defense, the higher your attack against the enemy’s defense, the more likely your attack hits.
What I don’t like about this is it’s way too random. Like Ni No Kuni 2, you can have more commanders or strengthen your current unit by recruiting people. Each unit have a commander, and 2 other people to strengthen their Attack value and Defense Value, or even give them special skill like healing. Major Battle is a mock RTS battle between 2 armies. The weakest part of an otherwise amazing game. There are 3 kinds of gameplay in this game, Normal combat, Duel, and Major Battle. While I think the music isn’t anything special and not something I’d play on youtube on repeat, it fits the game and the atmosphere very well that it makes the traveling around the world or backtracking ( and there were a lot! ) a very pleasant experience. Hell, this game looks even cooler than some recent 3d games. Each characters also has their own battle animation and battle stances that looks very cool or simply adorable. For a game released in 1998, the sprite and the colorization looks very pleasing to the eyes. I chose to do it this way because it’s actually impressive this game hasn’t been spoiled over the internet like Aerith’s death in FFVII, and I really, REALLY would like everyone to play this gem without getting spoiled.
There will be 2 parts of this review, a spoiler-free part and a full-of-spoiler part.
If you’re expecting a full on rant though, you’re out of luck.
