Epic Battle Fantasy 5: Battle Demo

Some bug fixes, and also dialogue and medals added. You’re probably gonna get sick of them soon, so there’s an option to disable those.
(A whole game’s worth of battle dialogue and medals are basically being triggered extra fast in this demo)

The version number should be 0.8. If it’s not, hit F5 or whatever you need to do to refresh it.
There’s a new “Effects” option that disables some text filters and may help performance a bit.

    it would be cool to have a boss battle of the dead goku in this demo and you could catch him to be sumoned and Matt or Natalie say something to see him again :smirk: :smirk: :smirk:

    Nice as always. Here’s some thoughts though.

    First, it’d be nice if enemy health was displayed as ##/## like in previous games instead of just ##. The health bar helps but a concrete number is great for reference.

    Text dialogs play a little slowly and clicking them to speed them up can get annoying, so it’d be great to have an option to either change the speed or enable instant loading like in previous games.

    The rotating switch icon on non-active players is awesome for convenience, but it can get a little strange if idle animations are completely off except for this tiny eyesore rotating around. Maybe make it more transparent and stop moving if idle animations are off for players. I do like that you disable it when I’m choosing an enemy target.

    Hope the screen that pops up when I flee doesn’t appear every time I retreat. That’d get on my nerves quick when I just want to jump in, scan, and run.

    Item drops are neat, but an auto collect feature (instant, not delayed) could also help. (I’m picking at a lot of minor annoyances here :P)

    Lastly, something sorta irrelevant.. it’d be nice if I could collapse the comments on this page. My scroll bar is tiny.

    Needless to say, great job. Item drops and captures all seem great, and new features are welcomed always. Go cats! :love:

    @Matt you could probably just put together this demo and make it into a simple EBF2 style Arcade game and people would go crazy over it XD
    Though we’d definitely prefer EBF5.
    Anyways the game is very nice, looking forward to seeing what it’s true form is. I will say that cooldowns are annoying in this type of game, though I guess they do stop you from just pounding something to death with the strongest move. Of course when something knocks out your buffs completely right after you use it this is VERY ANNOYING.

    Can’t wait for the full release of EBF5, or even the beta. I’m practically dying of excitement! I’ve been a fan of the EBF series ever since i first stumbled upon it, and, after completing EBf1 through EBF4, been waiting for the next entry in the series. From the battle demo, i’m already hyped, just becasue NoLegs finally joins the crew in battle as an actual character, and not just a summon! He finally gets to join the action, which is just awesome! His fighting style is one that the series has been missing, i feel, especially with his basic attack being a backstab of sorts.

    https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/393425638658146315/443173601483685888/unknown.png The mammoth animation froze. Other animations kept going on and gone into idle properly, but the game didn’t go on to let me do an action. This attack was right after No-Leg’s which had the (correctly putted) *sparkled intendify* message. Also, it counts as a dodge (activating the message) every time the monolith uses this animation, like when siphoned exc. and the demo is too addicting with the dialog.

    On the weird messed up weather, I think it is supposed to only show the health of your player after your take your turn, but every time I change who’s turn it is or send someone to backup, it the health bars change. It’s kind of a pointless weather if you ca view your hidden health without even taking your turn (If that made any sense at all).

    I have a doubt if the game will be free or pay in steam.

    In the case that it is free add a dlc that must be purchased (which is all the content just in case if the game is paid in steam) that contains extra content at least, is that some of us get tired of always playing games (flash ), when that already happened of fashion.

    While it will be paid, at least you have the game (the free) is a program like another indie video game, etc., because as my previous comment, some people get tired of the games (flash), I also recommend that if the game (payment) will be in steam, the game (the free) is in game-jolt, since game-jolt is one of the sites with more indies game in the world and where there are more projects.

    That’s all I wanted to say.

    I think I found a bug: I was in a wave of 3 Snow Bats and 2 of the Gem Idols and I captured a Gem Idol. The Icon displayed when I captured it was the red Idol, and it remained that way, though in the battlefield it had shown up as blue. However, once I summoned it, it became the Blue Idol again. Is this a visual glitch, or is there only one display picture for the Gem Idols? ❓

    Fascinating. The animatimation of the abilities is awesome! And I love it the idea to make some moves like Ice Shard and Fireball abilities you evolve and make them single target or multitarget. This skips the need about updgrade two different abilities everytime. And to able to right away switch members of the team without using the strategy option? This economize time and make things more easily what is awesome. Also, I like the idea of cool down of the moves, since the make people more careful about what kind of move they should use instead of spam like craze and make a more strategic in some battles. That was a great touch and detail. And the option to capture foes? *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* That what I more love about that. As someone who like very much pokemon and other medias who use the capture system, that idea of capture some foes and make your summons its what make me more hype for this game. With no doubt EB5 will be the best EB5 game ever made. :love2: :love: :love: :love2:

    This is just a suggestion, you don’t need to take it.
    But what if you made switching out players a two-click process instead of three-click? Instead of selecting the person that will move into backup after clicking “Bring in NoLegs” (or whoever you bring in), it would just move back the person that you currently are.
    I say this since you can already switch which character you are in just one click, and that having to choose after bringing someone back feels a bit redundant, and might make things move quicker.
    Just my two cents. Awesome development, Matt, and I look forward to the release!

      This would also make Stun more of a challenge, as in the previous game you were able to simply move back a character that was stunned.

And if you’re wondering about 1 and 2, they’re just battles, and aren’t really related to a story, but 3 begins the story, and 4 is after 3. So since Anna’s in this battle demo, I’m guessing she’s in 5, and that it’s a continuation of 4. ^^this battle demo rocks by the way^^ Yes, 1 and 2 are “just battles,” all you do in them is fight enemies and I never made it past 2. 🙁 :scared: :skull: 3 and 4 have entire backstories to them.

      And I found a bug/error/just there thing, I equipped Natalie with Paper fan (or Celtic Cross, or Obsidian Staff) and then Holly Hairpin, and Pope/Pope’s dress. The three flairs were Pocket Watch, Silver Cross? and the Black cross (don’t remember), She (I think) had a 200% resistance to Curse & Bad Luck (I’ve been doing all Late-game settings lately, and putting the difficulty on Zero). The resistance was 200%, but she got Bad Luck status, she didn’t smash a mirror or anything, but the Weather was Cursed Land. I think it might have been because of the Weather, even though her resistance was 200%. This also happened to Matt, but he didn’t have Bad Luck resistance equipment on, and did not get Bad Luck for awhile. (He did smash 2 mirrors) Anna also didn’t have Bad Luck resistance equipment on, and didn’t get Bad Luck for awhile. I’m mostly confused about Natalie and the 200% Resistance, but she was still given the status, I remember a character from EBF4 saying 100% to a status resistance means it will never work, but what about 200%? 🙁

    The best strategy (Works with all amounts of players, even 1) is to have someone with either high evade and decent defenses *Cough* NoLegs *Cough* or someone with amazing defenses and high HP, evade doesn’t matter there *Cough* Matt *Cough*, and give them gear that gives all sorts of buffs for when they use defend, like 80% extra Defense and Magic Defense, or invisible status, or lovable status, but definitely Regeneration. A necessary badge for this is the badge that gives haste occasionally, so that you can move after defending in order to attack. On epic mode at wave 46, I just took 78 damage from a total of 4 enemies with this strategy, in one turn. 78 overall. Not 78 per hit or 78 per enemy, but 78 overall. And I regenerated 4000 HP.

    Small bug: if everyone died, the screen flash red as if it is a gameover even if auto-revive is still there to get the party back up.

    Bug or intended? Blessed does not prevent Shroud. (but seriously, what’s the point of Shroud effect…)

    Bug or intended? Some enemy instantly flee without surrendering first. Very noticeable if you use the party loveable buff.

    Feature missing? The players’ and enemies’ info screens still does not show resistant to a number of status effect, such as berserk or surrender.

    I know that this is not really balanced yet, but I just want to add some thought about potentially broken combo:

    – Anna wearing Ninja skirt+4 leaf clover+target badge+Navi. Turn her into the team’s tank, since she attract all single target damage, dodged a lot of magic attack, can’t be dispelled, immune to physical damage, and if she died there is always auto-revive. I literally survive 1 wave of dragons with just Anna alive while waiting for the weather to kill off the enemy.

    – Natalie wielding knife+santa+the good luck flair. Surprise present+good luck on Natalie and she have very high chance of Tonberrying even high-death-resistent enemy.

      Blue Elephant, and Natalie’s default red dress are better with the knife, because of the upped chance to do status effects, and death is considered a status effect, sooo… 😐

      Some Enemies flee when using the party lovable buff because those enemies have only single-target attacks. When your whole party has lovable, they cannot do anything and thus flee.

      The auto-revive red screen flash is meant to scare the player into thinking they failed the game as stated by Matt himself. Shroud is just meant to add some difficulty to certain fights and can be removed by the Reflex skill. Shroud also can be easily ignored my focusing on the new party member low HP faces and menu icons. Most enemies flee when the whole party has Lovable status or certain equips like Celtic Cross (Ghost enemies), Matt’s Slime Fork (Slimes), and Matt’s Tree Sawblade (Plant Foes). (except bosses and other certain enemies.). Berserk, Surrender, and other statuses like Morale, Regenerate, and Auto Revive cannot be resisted. Can you imagine how annoying it would be if positive statuses like Brave, Blessed, and Good Luck could be resisted by your party members? Hope I cleared up a few things for ya! :yay:

    Found a bug when you use Lance’s Oblivion ability. If you have him with the full astronaut suit equipped, for some reason his astronaut suit pants will turn to the original red and white instead of Lance’s normal black and yellow outfit.

    BUG REPORT:
    Matt, Anna, and Lance were active. The enemy wave was 3 blood bats (front) and 2 marble boulders (back). One of the boulders killed Anna with “Attack 4”, I think? Then an error occurred somehow, with this following the message:

    HYPER BEAM
    I think Lance’s Hyper Beam might be more viable now, at least a bit. I say this because giving Lance “Haste” status, via Encore or the Viking Monolith (?) allows him to charge and use it Hyper Beam on the same turn! Upshot is, Viking Monolith costs SP and Encore has a cooldown. Still can fit in a few more uses of Hyper Beam in longer battles! NOTE: this is my opinion; as such, it may be changed or disagreed on!

      I personally agree about damaging summons being underpowered in lategame. My proof: I was EXP farming the Zombie Hydra on Easy on the third playthrough, to get everyone to level 51 for “30 Million Damage”. I summoned the Red Dragon a few times, which is normally a good summon against the Hydra; however, the damage in terms of health percentage was rather pitiful compared to the standard/first playthrough. Probably the only summons that are even moderately useful in damage dealt by this point are the Protector and Cosmic Monolith, and only if they hit enemy weaknesses.

    On capture:
    I personally would like to see a 100% capture rate on, say, 10% or lower health foes. I’m not a big fan of chance. Since you can bring it down to 10% health, you can definitely kill it, so capture won’t be used as some kind of high damage execution that really affects the battle. Or even more handicaps to the guaranteed capture can be added to balance it, such as things like requiring all three characters to use capture foe on the same turn and such. ELIMINATE ANY AND ALL CHANCE!(and potential grindfest)!!
    Also, since you need capture foes for some forging , and you oneshot low level foes, I wonder how you’ll be able to go back and capture them if you missed some. Giving “capture foe” a tiny bit of damage and guaranteed capture if the “capture foe” kills the target?

    BUG(s)
    Debuffs: a “15% defence debuff” on matt by coral boulder results in -15% defence regardless of previous defense buff/debuff. e.g. when at 80% buff, applying the 15% debuff results in -15%. When already at -15%, another debuff applied still results in -15%. The +80% buff also results in 80% regardless of current state. Temper also always end up with your attack at +70%. Works fine with curse/tired tho, those actually decreases your stat by 5% per turn instead of hard locking your debuff at -5%.

    THOUGHTS
    Everything below, suggestions or otherwise, is made by someone who enjoys powering through epic difficulty on as little time wasted on leveling as I can manage, though mostly I’m worried about balance and transparency.
    Multi hit skills hit for less damage than one hit skills. A bit like EBF3, in which matt’s legend was a joke.
    A capture rate indicator would be nice, or at least a quantifiable guide instead of “higher chance at low health”
    The power of summons…what is the base number based on? “Depending on level” is a bit vague. In EBF4 at lategame (level 20+) basically only the buff/debuff/status ones are useful, what with the low damage of any summon when you can minmax your damage/heal with equips, elements, and status effects even when mostly focused on defensive stats with your equips. I suggest the summons using the higher of the magic attack and attack stat of either the caster or average over your team as the base power multiplier. Or just something like “8+3*(average player level)+0.3*(average player level)^2” kind of nerdy equations, but definitely not whatever it was in EBF4, which felt suspiciously like a linear growth.
    I LOVE the cooldown based skill. MP always feels like a redundant resource in most RPGs. Only RPG that managed it well imo is a mid battle regen based one where you have no MP restoration items (works like cooldown that way). And now EBF5 by ditching it altogether lol.
    Heal % health items FTW.
    Enemy flee/surrender chance in tooltip of equips would be nice, and I’d like to know if (and how) they stack. Giant Slayer+Pumpkin Head+Angry Faic sounds like a really good combo.
    Poison/burn/virus damage? Based on % of max health/inflicting hit damage/target level?

    `This looks so cool! But the only real question I have is why get rid of MP? I mean I get players now have to be more strategic with their skills, but then when you work extremely hard to get that one skill that has good damage or hits every enemy, no matter what you do every skill can only be used a certain amount of times. Idk I’m not a game developer, I hope to be but still, that’s the only real downside to this game I see.

      MP without cooldown=item dependent limiter that can worked around with money, and occasionaly strategy since it takes a turn to eat a muffin.
      Cooldown without MP=turn dependent limiter that can be worked around mostly with strategy.
      If you’re worryied about balance, you’re probably playing in epic difficulty, and most probably like the challenge instead of the grindy grinderson’s grindtacular grindfest. If not, the game’s easy enough either way.

    The EBF battle system has always a cut above the rest. I especially love how much higher difficulties revolve around the use of status effects and buffs/debuffs instead of just having the player use their strongest attack repeatedly. It adds another layer to what otherwise could have been just another turn-based RPG the throw onto the pile. Adjustments such as the addition of focusing certain attacks or spreading them among foes is a nice touch, as are skill cooldowns, and the addition of NoLegs as a playable character is comedic while still adding further depth, variety, and fun to the game. Although it has literally no effect on the gameplay, it annoys me more than it should that “Lazor Blade” isn’t an alliteration when all of Matt’s other elemental attacks are. Perhaps you could change “Surging Skewer” to “Bubbling Blade” instead and replace “Lazor Blade” with “Schocking Skewer”? In fact, “Surging Skewer” could work for an electric attack as is (think power surge), and could even be “Surging Sword”, becoming even more of an alliteration that way. “Shocking Sword” rolls off the tongue nicely as well. Anyway that was me nitpicking about phonetics, amazing job as always. This demo has me :love: :love: :love:

    I think it would be cool to have more than 1 battle music (eg the player can choose or the music depends on area). The actual isn’t bad or sth, but i remember how annoying it was in ebf4 after playing 1h+ to listen in every battle the same music, wich additionally sounded at every point quite similar. Also i didn’t really wanted to mute it cus that made the battles a bit boring (or better: less funny).

    I see that someone got tired of having to draw everything a second time for the Kyun pose… On a related note, I’m not certain that 7th Heaven should really show her cleavage when “Cleavage” is turned off; it’s less suggestive than when it’s turned on, but it certainly still has cleavage.

    I doubt that you are really going to care about suggestions this far in, but can you make it so that healing on the map is just instantaneous? In the other games, it was just a waste of time, essentially, especially if you didn’t know that saving and reloading would do it instantly (at least in 4, I’m not certain about 3). You could use items, but why bother when just waiting a few seconds would accomplish the same thing?

    Anyway, very nice; I really like the cooldown system, and a lot of the other new stuff.

    Bug: When Lance uses his limit break “Oblivion” he appears to have the “Cat Tail” badge equipped during the animation, even if it is not equipped on him.

    Bug: When Lance uses his limit break “Oblivion” while wearing any armor that changes colour, the colour of the leggings will be changed to its default colour.

    Bug: When using skills such as “Fire spin” that can be used by multiple characters, the cooldown will be active on all the characters who have that skill.

    Bug: Nolegs’s skill “Nine Lives” states that the attack type is Physical, however it is not.

    Bug: Nolegs’s skill “Star blast” sometimes takes 11 turns before it can be used again, instead of 10 turns.

    Bug: Nolegs’s skill “Sushi cat” will never target frozen allies, even if they have the lowest hp.

    Nice work so far!
    Liking the cooldown system and the increase in # of status effects, it adds more depth to the battles here(on top of what you’ve already done with previous four games :stars: ). Just a couple things I noticed –
    Menu states the weather is random, however it doesn’t seem to ever change except when a skill forces it to? eg. I just finished doing easy difficulty / player level mid = Lava Flow every time, then same with player level = high and got falling ash every time. Or am I typing too soon and the rest only appear on higher difficulty settings?

    NoLegs’ Wind attack causes Weaken and his Holy causes Syphon…basically they are switched, compared to what other attacks of these elements normally inflict; not sure if this is intentional?

    “Lazor Blade”..looks like you typo’d “Laser”.

      One of the main reasons why cooldowns would help balance the game out is due to revive spam and healmore spam, you could simply keep reviving a character each round and this made most bosses WAY easier.

    Greetings.

    I’m very hyped for the awaited release of EBF5. I particularly love the summoning and ‘enslaving’ features that were implemented. I bet you a cleavage worth of money that, there will be a couple of individuals who will create a stupid challenge of ‘enslaving’ every single creature in the game. (‘enslaveable’ that is)

    My main concern goes to the ‘plot’ or the ‘story’ of the game. For example, in EBF3, the gang was driven to slay Akron. In EBF4, it was the Godcats. To me, the ‘plot’ adds a whole world to the game. I would rant some more, but, I’m simply too motivated to do nothing right now.

    I do think that an option to make the game speed faster would be a good idea like the 1x, 2x,3x speed thing, it would make the game much more customisable, and people could have the game run on the speed that suits them best, if they want to enjoy every second have ti on normal speed, if they want faster battles they have the option to get double speed.

    I finally capture a dragon which is pretty frustrating until I try debuff and status problems on it until I’m out of stuff like that and then just easily capture.

    I really have loved what youve done with this so far. Nolegs encore ability is a neat idea, so we can utilize using team members that are more useful than ones that lack needed element abilities, or maybe just an extra turn of healing with natz. I also liked the idea with the mirror enemy, the bad luck affliction was a neat touch. Overall, I really like all of the skills that nolegs has, and the fact hes more than a support character this time around. I also think the surrender option is a neat touch. Im guessing low health will affect their likelihood of doing so. In any case, this was awesome and I cant wait to see what you do next.

    ❗ ERROR FOUND; TYPE ( RESISTANCE ) ❗
    Equipping the Wrecking rod, Robot Ears, Mecha Suit, Bandage, Lucky Clover, and Cat Tail on Natalie gives an Electric Resistance of -11% , not -10% :wut: .
    I should mention the configuration I used before going in is: 5 players, scan on, end-game equip and spells, normal difficulty.
    I wish I could give more debug info via screen shot, but i don’t know how with the laptop i’m using 😥 .
    ❗ NOTE THAT THIS IS VERY MINOR AND WILL NOT LIKELY BE EXPERIENCED IN NORMAL GAME-PLAY.
    However this may mean a re-code on how resistances are calculated / a more secure code.

    Personally i’m a fan of how to get summons in this, lower health and catch. Kind of a throw back to EBF1 with Mareep and Pichu :smirk: . an indication on what could be caught via item you get later in the game would be a great opportunity for added game-play :stars: . Just thinking of that alone gets me hyped :hurray:

    I’m curious whether you have tested it, but what happens if Def or M.Def is equal to 0? I managed to raise it by 100% with the new Guardian skill and buff++ equips, and there are some enemies that reverse buffs. Would the game crash since the damage is divided by Def or would it be infinite?

    I found an EXTREMELY annoying bug here

    A multiple hit attack (like Legend, Tank Gun, or Blade Blitz) seem to have it’s damage increasing every hit. The annoying thing is, the damage displayed on screen isn’t right. Example, Legend dealt 40k at the final hit, but the foe health is decreased very slightly (About 4k only at the last hit). Fix it, and I’ll be happy :love: :love2:

    Looks really well so far, got to 20th wave on Late-game/ epic setting, but then a LV 36 Cosmic Monolith ownt me. Since I managed to blast through 20 waves with enemies growing on level from time to time, I suppose I can say balance isn’t a problem, the game is just right when it comes to challenge. Now some game mechanics stuff:

    -foes’ debuff resist seems to substract from the ammount a debuff decrements said stat. Example, debilitate reduces Defence by 50% and the enemy has 50% resist to DefenceDown, in that case it just won’t work, ever. If the foe is 20% resistant, its Defence will go down by 30%. I kinda like this change, in EBF4 the chance based protection made some fights way too random and unpredictable, it sucked big time (looking at your, Dark Players…)
    -while we’re there, equips that strengthen debuffs absolutely kick ass, definitely going to rock them when the game launches
    -buff strengthening equips aren’t too shabby either
    -buffs/debuffs override each other, so if one of your characters has no buff and another one has 90% Defence buff and both get hit by attack that reduces Defence by 5%, they both end up with 5% debuff…not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to be and not sure if I like it
    -didn’t bother with summons too much, but in general it seems fine. Though I think some enemies are too hard to catch, the chance is so damn low even with equips that boost the chance…maybe add some usables a la Master Ball to help catch the tougher beasts
    -don’t know if you are planning on adding stat boosts again. It sure was fun to grind stats, but leaving three out of five chars to deal pitiful damage isn’t, and spreading Ham and Cake in EBF4 was inefficient. Maybe add a limit to stat boost or apply diminishing returns so it makes sense to spread the boosts.
    -Legend still sucks (not as hard as in EBF3, but it’s weaker than it was in EBF4), come on, it looks so cool and yet it is almost always better to use elemental skills (especially since Matt has 100% elemental attacks now)
    -Matt’s Cleaver seems nerfed quite harshly. I debuffed a Golem’s Defence by 60% and even with 70% attack buff it didn’t kill him…come on, in EBF4 Cleaver could take more than half HP of some bosses.
    -other than that, the Limit Breaks are OK
    -will weather change during fights? Certain weather types have crazy strong impact on battke, for example perma Bless for everyone. Would be weird to rely so much on weather.
    Other stuff:
    -I don’t really like the new tank and 7th heaven replacing Kyun. They ain’t bad but why fix something that isn’t broken? Valkyrie was so badasd, and Kyun is iconic.
    -this is actually me nitpicking, but oh well. Not fond of so many new skill names and animations, the previous games borrowed and recycled a lot in beetwen installments. It gave them some unexplainable sense of integrity (or hearing the Golem’s theme from EBF2 in EBF3…felt so great back when I first played). It’s nothing major, it’s just that some of the original feel is gone, but hey we have to move on.
    -NoLegs is a great addition, I can see his super high Evade tanking overleveled bosses. Other than that, his skills are both useful and fitting, nice job there
    -that battle song is a really nice remix from EBF2
    -as an old MapleStory fan, it’s good to see the Berzerker making a return

    First of all, congratulations! I think your graphic dessign is one of the bests and friendliers to players in all the market, incluiding both indie & not indie developers. I bought EBF4 a year ago & I still play it from time to time, for it offers so many variations.

    Also the art looks hugely improved in EBF5, even when your previous games were frankly well designed. Cheers for that too.

    Regarding bugs, I found impossible to catch a lvl 5 Topaz Golem with 17/941 HP (that’s only 1,8%!), even using luck and debuffing it & causing it negative conditions. I tried for almost 30 minutes. Am I ridiculously unlucky, or is it normal within your criteria for catching foes?

    I noticed that if the enemy has 50% resistance to debuff (like, the ones reducing stats) it’s (nearly) impossible to inflict that debuff on them. I tried to debuff War Mammooth’s attack more than 10 times and it didn’t work a single time.

      So far I think nolegs is going to be more of a support character. Offering buffs that otherwise couldn’t be easily given with other skills from other characters, such as “Lovable” and “good luck”. He also has the highest base evade of all characters, so he would really help with surviving against bosses.

    Great, but one minor thing. When you check whether the skill is physical or magical, magical attacks show the icon for Magic Defence, rather than Magic Attack.

    I do not believe single-target buffs should have a recharge time, because if you want to buff a lot of characters you will be spending several turns anyway, thereby already fulfilling the role of staggering out buffing. The same goes for single-target debuffs. Also, I am not sure why switch player still has an icon in the tactics menu, as you can switch in one click by just clicking on player you want to switch. Dark Pulse and Dark Pulsar could be combined into one skill al la firestorm/icestorm/thunderstorm, though you would have to put a note that the spread increases cooldown by 2. I’m also not sure why Snipe has a cooldown as it is essentially an accuracy boost, for one player, for one attack, that requires them to use the standard attack. I think you should bring back the cluster missiles effect for airstrike, aka the “centered” variant. All mass healing skills should have the option to target one player with no cooldown as opposed to the standard spread. I also think you should reduce the cooldown of MOAB and Star Blast from 10 to 5-7, and Dispel Buffs from 5 to 2-3, as the former’s cooldown renders it used, at best, once per normal battle; and by the time the latter recharges, a buff put one one round after would have a chance to degrade by 20% anyway, and most statuses would be timing out. Arrow Rain and Combo Shot could be combined into one skill. Screamer should have a single target version. When a character is revived by an effect that would otherwise give auto-revive status to a living player, it would be nice for them to get the status, plus the revivication. Finally, could you give the percentage chance for capture when attempting against a foe?

    Thanks and good luck!

    I think you need to modify the Viking hat, it always gives the male players the status Berserk and doesn’t stop unless they’re purified. This brings problems when trying to use other skills that are not offensive since it uses the player’s turn and cannot use again unless using Haste. Can you modify that? 😐

    Hope you’re still checking this thread. I’ve noticed a few more things since last time:

    [GAMEPLAY BUG] Cooldowns for moves are shared between party members. For example, ‘Fire Spin’ has a 1-turn cooldown. If Anna uses it, NoLegs must abide by the same cooldown counter, despite having not used the move himself. (Granted, it’s really only an issue if players will be able to share moves in the final game. No clue if this issue affects enemies in any way, though.)

    [HAIR] You can interact with Anna’s hair, moving it from side to side. Now I know this was a feature with Natalie’s hair that you removed before the demo, so I have no idea if you wanted Anna to still have this feature or if you just forgot to remove it for her too.

    [OPTION/IDLE ANIMATION BUGS] When idle animations are turned ON for PLAYERS and turned OFF for FOES, many enemies will still have some aspects of their idle animations, including:

    Pretty much any enemy with basic circular eyes can still blink. (eg. Dogs, Bushes, Bears, etc.)
    Pretty much anything that “drips”, still “drips”. (The Ashen Gloop’s lava, the Sandstone Boulder’s sand, etc.)
    The Fallen – The thumbs on their free hands lightly fidget.
    Beheaded Fallen – Head bobs up and down.
    Burned Fallen – Sword glow radiates.
    Bears – Ears and tail wiggle.
    Worms – Wings flap. Eyes pulsate.
    Cutie Worm – “Bow hair” moves.
    Voodoo Dolls – Hair moves.
    Matt Doll – Feather moves.
    Dragons – Behind the head, plumage/hair/appendages sway.
    Slimes – The various appendages and doodads sticking out of the top of their heads move. For certain slimes, their mouth moves (eg. Big Sand Slime).
    Slime Mouse – Ears wiggle. Electrical sparks appear.
    Slime Bunny – Ears wiggle.
    Bushes – Leaves and branches sticking out the top of their heads move.
    Cats – Ears wiggle. Hair curls move.
    Stone Idol – Arms move up and down. Eyes move.
    Metal Idol – Eyes move.
    Wooden Idol – Arms/Legs move back and forth. Leaves sway.
    Mage Dog – Cowl moves back and forth.
    Rescue Dog – Ears wiggle.
    Marble Boulder – Brown “shoulder pads” move.
    Obsidian Boulder – The gem at the top of its head gleams occasionally.
    Amethyst Golem – The amethysts that cover it gleam occasionally, similar to the obsidian boulder’s gem.
    Crystal Gloop – Crystals “glow”.
    Electric Bat – Parts of their wings move up and down.
    Jet Fish – Jet glow radiates.
    Demon Mirror – Disconnected bits on each side float up and down.
    Seaweed Chomper – Eye is shifty. Seaweed on the back still moves. (Probably similar issues with other chompers.)
    Blue Creep – Eyes pulsate. Jaw moves. (Probably similar issues with other creeps.)
    Pink Squid – Eyes pulsate. Ear-like appendages move. (Probably similar issues with other squids.)

    There’s probably MUCH more, but I can’t be bothered to check every variant of every enemy. This issue works both ways, by the way. When player idles are turned OFF but foe idles are turned ON, these specific animation traits don’t occur at all.

    My heroes got scorch from monolith; when they got -50% health debuff i summoned flybot to convert it to buff. But next attack Nolegs died as if he still has low hp, and this buff seemed to apply (to Matt) only at next turn. I reckon it’s more convenient to change hp right after the summon.

    I have a concern about the cooldown system. If all of a characters elements can be covered by skills with no cooldown, how would the standard attack not be pointless? The skills would just always be better in every situation. Also Lance would have the only cooldown-less all-targeting healing skill.

      Isn’t standard attack sorta pointless in EBF 1-4 anyway though? I can’t remember the last time I used it, with the exception of equips that allowed mana drain which aren’t a thing here. To be honest, I am not really sure why it is kept. :wut:

    Just a few pretty small things that I ran into (the second one may be a mistake on my part).
    -When I berserk a bear and then remove the berserk status from it with a water attack, the “angry” expression on it remains on it until its turn.
    -This only happened once-and it might have been my imagination (or incorrect recollection), but there was a time the morale status was given to all the enemies-then I captured one one of them and the morale statuses seemed to have disappeared off the other enemies while it was still my turn.

    On side notes. I’m liking the cooldown system. Feels better than the mana system imo and allows for better balancing. The new types of status effects are also pretty interesting (I particularly despise the “hungry” status effect, haha). The weather system is a neat addition too. With all these sorts of weathers, I’m wondering how many areas there will be in the game. Overall, good work so far.
    Also, in regards to the capture system… i notice that there’s a maximum number of summons that you can use during the battle. Will we be able to switch outside of battle? 😡

    I gotta say I am very impressed with how far this game series has come. And I also like a lot of the new changes that have been made, especially the the turn cool down system implemented in the special skills. Now I can’t report any errors or system crashes because I forgot to take pictures of those while playing the game because I was having so much fun. So let me just section my thoughts on the battle system right now.

    Special Skills – Alright so I believe that replacing mana with a turn cooldown was an excellent choice and improves this game a lot. In previous games mana really didn’t matter, because items could easily refill mana and each character still had a lot of mana to spare, so there was really no reason for me to care about which skill I used at the time only used skills appropriate for the right enemy. With the cool down system this makes the game more difficult and challenging. There were many times while I was playing in more difficult battles that I told myself that I should’ve saved this skill instead of just using it right away. Also, the skills have just the right amount of cool down, some necessary skills need very long cool downs as they are very powerful and useful and other skills do need short or no cool downs as well I would be pretty screwed if they weren’t available. I also like the new skills I am seeing. With Matt, I feel there is more variety in the type of elemental physical attacks with the new bomb and wind element attacks. Nathalie feels the same in her skills but the skills I love the most was the Rainbow Blast. This in combination with the bone staff (too lazy to type the name) debuffs all the enemies’ defenses so either Matt or NoLegs can hit very hard especially when they are buffed in attack. I can’t say much for Lance or Anna as I rarely used them, but I do see situations where they are useful with their skills. An example would be Lance being to debuff both the enemies’ defense and magic defense and I find Anna more useful when she had a powerful healing spell that can bless allies, which is important because of the amount status effects in this game and how hard they can punish you if you aren’t careful. Now NoLegs in his skills are very surprising and can be used as both a very strong support character and even a heavy hitter. Skills such as the Nine Lives skill that heals and grants auto revive was very useful in a tight situation, the Sushi cat was a very good healing skills as well as granting luck, the haste skill helps give more strategy if I want to use a skill from another ally, and his attacking skill combos are very useful and powerful as they can clear a whole wave. In general I love the skills implemented here and the amount of changes made.

    Weather/Staus – This is something that I wasn’t expecting to enjoy, because I didn’t know how the weather was going to affect the gameplay and I thought it would just be nonexistent as well I never really found weather to be the main changing factor in RPG games. But here there are so many weather effects and in combination with the amount of statuses that can be afflicted from the weather, as well as potentially helping/damaging either the foes or allies, is a great change. I found myself both loving the weather benefits and also hating how much I get punished for not paying attention to the weather or it just completely screws by either debuffing me or putting me in a position where I am vulnerable to certain attacks but in a good way. And with the many status effects, this can really punish players if they aren’t paying attention and can also benefit the players if they use these status effects against the enemies. This also makes the bless status more useful, as there are many times I was afflicted by negative status effects. This compliments the game’s difficulty and I can’t wait to see the environments I will be in when fighting enemies as well as the status effects they will bring in battle.

    Enemies – Now I will say that I am not overall the most excited about the designs of the enemies as I feel they are about the same I would expect in previous games. I don’t dislike or hate the enemies in designs but I still like the art style and I appreciate the new enemies. What I am really excited for is the amount of new possibilities these enemies bring in battle. What I mean by that is, is that with the new type of status effects as well as new attacks I am seeing it brings much more difficulty. There were absolutely many times, especially in normal difficulty, where the enemies can potentially destroy me if I wasn’t careful. Some new status effects or moves such as the reverse buff/debuff especially pissed me off as I always would buff my characters before attacking only too have it reverse on me and starting over again or getting one shotted by enemies. The disable move also made me angry as I couldn’t use the skills I needed at the time forcing me to re-strategize. But what really makes this game more difficult is the more stronger enemies. This just makes me more afraid of machine enemies in general now. I also want to say that the nukes are now always something I worry about because they can one shot the characters with wrong equipment and preparation. The dragons, golems, monoliths, and other minibosses I feel are more difficult in this game. Even if I had the right equipment to deals with these guys, the new attacks, buffs or debuffs by these guys proved to make a challenge, as in previous games, I could handle enemies more efficiently because of the skills I could use constantly. But with the cool down and the constant debuffs and health and stats management, I think my characters died more in this game than in previous games. This is not even taking account with other enemies other than the harder enemies that can potentially buff the enemies or debuff my characters, so it isn’t like the other enemies aside wouldn’t be a problem because they can be if I ignored them. All of that being said I enjoy this change for its difficulty.

    Equipment – I actually found myself to experimenting more different types of equipment in this game than in previous games, as equipment was a very huge factor in trying to have more powerful skills, debuff enemies, having more attack or defense, and in general just being able to defeat the enemies. Now I wished we could’ve changed equipment before battle as I wanted to use equipment each time I enter a new battle, but I found out that changing equipment between battles has become more important. In previous games, I really didn’t worry about the equipment I wore, just the equipment I felt I liked more. But the new type of equipment i found to become more useful especially in different scenarios. Now I still didn’t find myself using all types of equipment as some I didn’t find useful, such as the ones that improved catching enemies, Although they could be really useful when farming for summons. Now I gotta say that I like the fact that some equipment improves defending by buffing a character, as I never really used defending in previous games and now they are more useful.

    Characters(or just NoLegs) – Now I already enjoy the characters in the games and I really do not need to explain the others as they already have the same feel to them as in previous games, but the new skills and equipment they bring are still interesting. Now NoLegs in general is just fucking adorable and cute in this game and is very powerful and useful. The most common team combination I found myself using was Matt/Nathalie/NoLegs, as they all bring necessary buff I need every time and compliment each other well as well. Now despite having very powerful support skills, NoLegs is a heavy hitter and even has a high evade to dodge attacks. The combo attack of having to hit 3 times and hitting all other targets while gaining an extra hit for each killed enemy is useful for clearing waves. This is also very helpful as NoLegs has different elemental takes with the same properties. In combination with the right equipments he can do more physical damage to the enemies, even more so than Matt. The problem with using him is that he is a glass canon as he has the lowest HP in general compared to the whole cast. There were many times I wasn’t taking into consideration of NoLegs health as I have already buffed my characters in defenses and even in evade. But then I see NoLegs one shotted and I am like oh shit I have to revive only as he is very useful and I needed him for support. Overall NoLegs is a great addition to this game that so many people wanted. I especially love the equipment as weapons he has as they are both powerful and very fitting for NoLegs.

    Overall I think this is a great change in the battle system and I hope to see more. Now I will say this, as someone who has played all the Epic Battle fantasy games, even though this isn’t considered to be the best and most game changing in terms of RPG games, I do love the changes being made here and I am glad that you are dedicated with this series.

    why does it seem if you have target badge/ angry faic that gives target status on defending and turtle gi that your limit break bar fills slower with target(or is just defend)?
    if so then is the turtle gi + target strategy = like 80% boost to limit break even viable?

      Limit break increases depends on damage taken, so if you’re defending it will fill half as fast, yes.

    Not sure if this is intended, but Natz’s Genesis does not revive dead allies in the back row. The skill simply says “all allies” and I assumed that it would revive those in the back row. If it is working as intended, I’d suggest maybe making clear that it revives only those on the field. If it is supposed to res those in the back… well that ya go. 😐

    So I’ve encountered a Topaz Golem I got him down to 11 HP, and am giving him a thorough attempt at catching. I understand some foes simply cannot be captured, but will there be a message or something that alerts you to whether or not something resists being caught? For example, this Topaz Golem. If he can’t be caught, I currently have no way of knowing if I’m just missing Graveler with the pokeball or if he not allowed to be caught. I’m assuming you probably already got some sort of message that will appear when something cannot be caught in the works, but if not, something like that would be nice so I don’t sit here forever thinking I’m just REALLY unlucky with catching this golem. 😛

    Hi. So first bugs i found. –
    -After Natz got sent in the backup team because of the turret thing, her debuffs and buffs remained over Ana who replaced her. They dissapeared after she got hit though.
    -Lance sometimes get the charged attack buff because of his equipment but there is no animation. It becomes hard to notice. Would be nice to see him charge his gun to know that the laser can be fired.
    -The Dragons and squids feel strange because their necks suddenly end when they are in the second row and third. The squid tentacles also just cut off but you can extend them off till off-screen. The dragons necks ends could be hidden behind:-make neck long enought till it goes off screen, give some dragons a mane or spike than cover the neck cut,..etc Just saying. You are not forced to do it.
    -I will look for more errors but please read the rest.
    I know it just opinions but …
    Ok, you are not forced to change the kyun animation if you don’t feel like it. At least make it optional to get Lance’s old tank. I preferred the design of Vlakyrie over the new tank. Also please, for Matt’s multi slash limit break, i preferred the old one where he dashes from his spot to hit the foe instead of first walking in front of the team then doing it. Takes a lot of the impact out. Noting was more satisfying than buffing matt, debuffing foes defenses then using it to see Matt suddenly move, almost warp, to the foe and hitting it making Akron’s eyes bulge and hearing a satisfying distorted sound. It takes a lot of impact out when he first walks in front of everybody then does it. Same with Lance’s charged gun attack. Seeing his charged gun fire suddenly in EBF4 gives the feeling that the gun became unstable and had to fire immediately instead of the walking in front of team then firing thing.
    Everything else is good though. Animation, music, Etc.
    My criticisms is that some of the original feel is gone. Been following your games since Brawl Royal. The new tank feels and looks lighter than old valkyrie so Lance’s Dio limit Break looks weaker when he falls on enemies. The Multi Slash Limit Break has lost its punch kind of feeling if the player walks then slashes away.
    Those are my opinions. I will try to find other bugs but if i do, should i comment here or on your twitter? :wut: Sorry if i sound selfish. Making changes to a game is extremely tedious but please consider. 😥 😥 😥

    Hi

    I really don’t know if I should comment here about this but oh well
    I am just here to ask about something
    Well, many people including me liked some of the old characters you have created as well, like Lazarus and Grey Mage for example, and wanted them to appear again in the games somehow.
    I think it would be kinda cool to somehow put these characters in EBF5, like NPCs for example, they could make some interesting conversations.

    Also about the demo,
    I actually think that there’s a very small graphical error with the players’ faces when they have low HP,
    For example, when I made Anna use “Piercing Shot” and she had low HP, something strange happened with her mouth.

    Other than that, I find everything here very awesome. I really like how everything is thought with a lot of detail and the new artstyle is very cool.

    It looks really good so far, but I have a few visual things you might want to change. On the settings screen where you choose gameplay and graphics options, the grey hover outline for “Content” is messed up. When hovering over any of the options in the “Content” section, the highlight that appears when hovering over the words is shifted off. Also, I like the fact that enemies drop their items in small bubbles, but I think having the items fly towards the players when collected is weird. Instead, maybe have the bubbles pop or dissapear when the mouse hovers over them, because the player technically IS the one controlling the party members, and it makes more sense for the player to collect the items, rather than the party members.

    Nice demo!Can’t wait for the full game.I love the foe capturing and all of the new skills.

    Now let’s start counting the bugs and stuff that needs to be fixed: 1.if you try to capture a foe that has effects/buffs/debuffs and fail,those will disappear and will come back only after the foe attacks.
    2.one time after I killed a foe it’s debuffs were floating in the air: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8-9dPJ2SWvDNkFEcnZBMUFYTjA

    I think “Snow cats + Bubble blast” combo looks broken (and, actually, the whole “chill + wet = freeze” concept). If foes have zero freeze resistance, it is possible to spam them every turn, killing enemy without any damage received. With some resistance it is also very good. Maybe add some cooldowns or reduce chance of inflicting those effects.

    Could not freeze Blue flybots and Big mud slimes this way though (normal freeze worked on Bid mud slimes). Don’t know why, I didn’t find any notes of resistance to freeze, and big blue FREEZE text is misleading (http://i.imgur.com/JgVXqo2.png bits are Frozen, but bots are not and act on their turn). Should make it consistent – add resistance and remove text or add the effect. I was able to freeze some other bots with chill + wet combo.

    Couldn’t capture thunder type golem with 30 hp and 0-1 status effects on him and luck on me for more than 20 attempts. First I thought that was one of uncapturable foes, but then I met Turrets, which cannot be targeted with Capture at all, so the golem should be capturable. Other golems were captured no problem. Maybe I am just unlucky though, it’s impossible to be certain where chances are involved.

    Frozen enemies after failed capture attempt break the frozen animation, but the effect is still there, as well as the Frozen icon. Looks weird, maybe make Capture attempts to cancel Frozen effects.

    Will try my best to find more in the future.

        Yes, now I realise that heal cancelled the freeze. But I think it is still an inconsistancy. Damage cancels freeze, healing cancels freeze. Damage + freeze leaves enemy frozen, but heal + freeze doesn’t.

    you should remake some limit breaks and skills:

    -black hole doesnt have chance to kill multiplayer but instead kill user(so recommended to use when have auto revive and should be use at the end of the battle since it wont let dead players gain exp)
    -and the machines(godcat’s machine) that cast supernova, black hole,genesis and absolute zero are weaker or only as strong as those skills? :wut:
    -most of the normal skills are somewhat weak
    -can you make skills split into 2 cartegory(the default skills and shareable skills)? i found it easier to use than the new one 😐
    -can you let lance have 2 options: one is to use the small pistol that look like a small version of Lance’s big gun behind him; and his original gunblade
    -Last one: we all knew the reason why blade of destruction and lance of creation dont make it here, the reason is for too OP, but why you have to take away Equilibrium(Matt’s sword) and debuff Lance’s accelerator? the new legendary weapons in here are cool but i still prefer some of the legendary weapons in ebf 4 better 😥

    Hey, I noticed another bug. I captured every foe I had and once I had 18 summon-able creatures , I couldnt get more that I could summon, I could still catch more foes but they wouldn’t show up in my summons section of a players’ move

      Same. I made a comment about this earlier when capturing was being shown off; that with all the summons we’d need some sort of summon management system, a scroll bar, or multiple pages. Also, it’d be nice to get some kind of indicator whether a foe is capturable or not rather than infinite spamming of the capture box at low hp, unsure if it will ever pay off. I generally gave up after 3 rounds of all 3 chars failing capture, and am thus sure I missed some 😥

    Hey, I noticed something. Every single move is either 100% of an element, 50% of an element, or no element. And the only attacks that do 50% of an elemtn are weapon based attacks. I don’t like it this way, I want there to be 75% elemental attacks, 80% elemental attacks, 25% elemental attacks, and so on,, in the epic battle fantasy four it was like that

    Found a bug:I tried to capture a dragon that had some debuffs on it.After I threw the box and failed to capture it,the debuffs weren’t there anymore.The game wasn’t showing them.After the dragon attacked it showed them again.

    Ok, time for a real bug report
    I played this till wave 5, then switched tabs for like three minutes, then this tab resest automatically(so I didn’t get rekked by the monoliths). IDK why, it just reset. Can this be fixed?

    Hey I found a bug, it constantly dropped medipacks over and over at lance without me even doing anything. It was probably some equipment that casts medipack between turns but it did it about 200 times and it is still doing it. I was on wave 15 fighting two ancient monoliths. With lance natalie and ana on the field with matt and nolegs on backup. It was about to be our players turn whuile the ancient monoliths just went. ❓ ❓ ❓

    Might want to take another look at the description for tribal mask. Additionally when Natalie has haste, and then changes with e.g. Anna in the back, then haste will disappear (Checked this by making natalie return to the front)

    Hey, nice seeing the game here O_O (The demo, but whatever)

    I’m not sure whether that is supposed to happen, but I used tempest with Matt, then attacked with “doubleshot” with Lance. After the monsters attacked, I wanted to try some other skilsl from Lance, but found them on cooldown.

    Also, Natalie doesn’t have heal in the earlier stages oO? This will make the Epic diff much harder 😀

      It’s probably the “disable” status. It sets all the cooldowns so that it’s like you just used all of them.

      Zero is where foe’s strength and damage is reduced to 25%. At normal/easy, it is likely back to 50%. Hard,being at 75%/80%/95%. And Epic/other mode being insane and super difficulty. Basically Zero is easy, but easier,

      Berserk is not always a Debuff, it’s sometimes useful, incase you don’t know what Skill to attack with, or are going CRAZY! And yes, Lovable is likely a buff. (Due to the fact that if all players have that status, some foes may surrender,)

      Wet doesn’t remove burn, water damage does. They’re usually the same thing but not always.

      Sorting system for Summons could be:

      3: Cost (amount of summon points required)
      4: Element (and how much % of that element. If even, then they’re sorted in Capt. Order)
      5: Name (useful if you’re hardcore and use names for setting up orders yourself)

        speaking of summons, one of the text pop ups for a successful capture is “enslaved”. despite how on the nose that is, turning “offensive content” does not disable this line, i assume it should.

            i dont know if this whas meant to be, but you can see the health of the enemies in the right under corner and in EBF4 you needed to scan them first to know their health.

    When you don’t collect the items by hovering the cursor over them after the enemy is defeated, after some time (around 30-60 seconds) the items get auto-collected. :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

    So, a few things so far:
    1. [GAMEPLAY/DEMO BUG] Cooldown timers seem to be retained after fleeing battle. To clarify: I fled the battle, changed some options, went back into battle, and noticed moves like “Debilitate” and “Heal More” were still on cool down. (Obviously, refreshing the webpage sets everything back to default as it’s supposed to.) Now, I don’t have any idea if cooldown timers are intended to carry over between battles in the final game (I’m guessing not) but it’s at least a small issue with the battle demo itself.
    2. [GRAPHICAL BUG] When enemy foes evade capture, any status icons they have disappear, and do not reappear until the enemy is interacted with again (like being hurt/healed.) To be perfectly clear, the status effects are still present, the icons are just temporarily invisible.
    3. [TEXT ERROR] The description or “Sushi cat!” doesn’t mention its cooldown timer like other moves.

    Also, a question: I know you mentioned some time last year that you were making some changes to the better emphasize the backup system, which included players not being able to attack on the same turn they were revived, and players being revived while in backup. Have you decided against some of those changes, or are you still thinking of tinkering with the backup system later down the line? For what it’s worth, I thought those initial balance ideas were somewhat sound and at least a little bit interesting. (Except for not being able to change equipment in-battle, I’m glad you can still do that.)

    1. Matt Roszak Post author

      I didn’t go with those particular ideas, but there are a lot of new mechanics that encourage using backup players, such as cooldowns, and buffs which affect backup.

        I really like the cooldown system. Gives the Revive spell even more value and from what you said, it is really encouraging using backup characters. From what I tested. No Legs and Anna were both capable of buffing allies evade or using fire spin, is it intended that they share the cooldown?
        It’s interesting that more than 1 person can use a particular by the way, not sure if it is just for testing reasons or possible in the real game, but I like it somehow.

        Here are some thoughts I’d like to add aswell:

        1) Lance’s Hyper Beam:
        It isn’t counting as elemental skill, right? Having so many elemental buffing options on equipment makes individual elements very powerful, but compared to this the Hyper Beam damage feels like not fair(low) for taking 2 turns. My thoughts about this is., could an 100% element usage could be useful for that skill, I mean pure power? Maybe make this spell count as elemental skill if the weapon changes the element of it? Also status effect chance seems to be higher on that skill which I really like, maybe make the tooltip state this advantage aswell.

        2) Character only flairs:
        Thinking about some which can be only equipped by individual characters supporting only individual characters properties. Just to give one example with Hyper Beam. A flair, which occasioally charges it and makes it do 100% elemental damage. Matt’s Slicing Cyclone gets his cooldown removed and slightly increasing the status effect chance on that skill.

        3) Status chance increasing items:
        How much higher are those exactly and could it be possible to include those recalculated chances in the skill itself?

        4) Equipping Items during battle:
        Could it be worth to think about giving those items, which give status effects, also giving them when changing equipment immediately? Like Matt equipping a Dragon Helm which immediately gives him “Morale” for 1-2 turns. Haste does help out much about changing equipment during battle and immediately using it, but maybe it’s still nice to have any direct buffs just like with those which are triggered when defending.

        5) New stuff flair suggestions:
        – one which increases counter attack chance or gives a counter attack chance(for normal attack) if the weapon hasn’t any. As side effect also could be lowering evade of the character.
        – one which increases the limit bar gauge gain when taking damage or instantly dying.
        – one used as defender item which increases base hit points and buffs the player’s hitpoints whenever being physically hit by 5%. (same can be done for magical attacks)
        – one which increases the elemental portion of damage when hitting an enemies elemental weakness
        – one which revives the wearer after 2 turns when he/she is in backup with 30% HP.
        – one which might distribute 1/3 of the damage taken to the 2 other allied players.

        6) Capturing monsters:
        My guess is that there will be a limited amount of different monsters which we could use in battle? Haven’t tested so far if there is a limit. My suggestion here is. When we have a monster already captured and want to use the capture skill to get more of them, could it be possible to display (just like the “?” for scanned enemies) their effect on release? People might not remind all of them.

        I Don’t think cooldown should carry on after battle or players would jump in. get attacked one turn and flee. Then come back again to reset cooldown. Also too much randomness can make game too difficult. If you go against dark physical damage foes for example and your holy weapon is matt’s it would be harder If barrier skill is matt’s You got matt both on offense and defense leaving you less chance. I don’t think randomness is a bad idea but leaving permanent mark to your game might make some games almost impossible. Also makes speedrun and guide less reliable.

        That’s basically what Morale is: Cannot be killed in one hit if HP is above 50%. But I guess it would be pretty useful! And Auto-Revive is also sort of related to that, “Get killed but do not die?”
