Q&A
Q: What constitutes a gameover?
A: Noct has to die. But as stated, HP reaching 0 is not dead times. You're in a critical state. When that state's gauge falls to zero, you die. In that time though, you can heal and come back to battle.
Q; What's the framerate/res.?
A: Aiming for tops, not making any promises yet, but aiming for the bestest they can do.
Q: Talk a bit more about the size of the map in the demo.
A: You know, I really don't know. Our map creator said 10 times bigger but that's prob playing it safe. The whole map is prob somewhere between 10-20 times bigger than the demo. They want people to play the demo and get a handle for scale, size, to get a better idea of the proper game.
Q: Weather system?
A: They wanted to put the weather system in to the demo, but they couldn't. The different types of rain weren't finished in time. For example, the rain has physical effects on characters, monsters, environment, and they didn't finish that all in time for the demo.
Q: How many weapons can you get in the demo? Full game?
A: Well, there are the phantom swords, and the normal weapons. They're different. In the demo, the amount of phantom swords you have will be reflected in the actual ability. You'll see that amount float around you. (Basically they wanna see what sort of effect that has on gameplay and adjust from there.)
Q: Dual/Coop attacks?
A: Dual/coop attacks. There are not a ton in the demo, because they're moves you learn as the characters grow. They're also really strong. So they didn't want put a bunch in early on and make it super unbalanced.
Q: How much stuff is there to do?
A: Finding phantom swords. After you beat the main stuff, there is an ending. When that finishes, there's stuff unlocked in the demo for you go back and do. Finishing the main story is not the end of the content.
Q: Any kind of data carrying over to the main game?
A: Nope. You can however save in the demo. Is there anything that you might be able to do with that save in the final game? Prroooobbbably. It's not data carrying over, more like a bonus for seeing you played the demo.
Q: What about Adamantoise?
A: We said you could fight him. But there was some miscommunication. We meant you could fight him in the full Game, not the demo. Demo is in a completely diff location. But because we announced both at the same time, it got lost in the shuffle.
Q: Airships. Are you guys working hard at making that happen?"
A:We've been working on the demo, so no. But once that's out, well...
Q: Can you please give us some info on the characters and story? Jeezzzzz.
A: Right now we want you peeps to enjoy the demo. Then when all that has died down, we'll start going into those details. Patience pls. There is some story at the end of the demo though.
Q: What percent is the game done?
A: Hm, A lot of progress has been made on the systems etc. About 60% done, give or take. As things start to come together, it could jump to 80% in one go, etc. But right now, we're quite a ways way in to development.
