Hello, I stumbled on your game by pure coincidence, when I was searching for something new. As I played and completed The Last Sovereign more than once, I wanted to find similar game and my prayers have been heard!! XD But honestly I mostly like two parts of the game: First I like that each character has a unique fighting style and Second it's the language of the game, after TLS it's cool, because in there most of characters talked normally I guess, not plain, every character had "Character" but yeah I don't know how to say it well, here though I like noble talking style. And the banter between characters is really fun. Yeah, so if you will continue to keep the quality of the game until the end I'll be forever grateful to you. If you could do it, here's my thoughts for more powerful form, maybe like some sort of not super mode per se, but maybe like а combining spell for Elemental and Ariane for example, like her magic becomes more potent or stronger. Only once per battle and need high loyalty. Maybe need some hidden or important event for this to be able to activate it. Anyway that's just my thought feel free to ignore it if it not in your style or can't be made. *And sorry if there are grammar errors, English is not my native language.)
ReplyDeleteHey there ^^ Glad to hear you've been enjoying the game! Yeah, the world really needs more ruler rpgs like TLS. XD Was my inspiration to start on Noblesse long long ago.
DeleteYeah, I know what you mean XD Beyond the period feel, I do my best to ensure that everyone feels adequately distinct. So, I'm most pleased to hear that you think so! My thanks for sharing your thoughts. ^^ I quite like the banter myself, so always good to hear others do as well.
I have every intention of doing so if I can, though!
No comment on the thoughts there at the present time, but it's fun to see the idea regardless. ^^ We shall see if things ever go in that direction.
(No worries, was quite legible imo!)

DeleteThanks for answer. Also wanna ask somethings , but if you don't know or it's a huge spoiler, feel free to not say anything. So first, will we be able to get Cassander on our side? And in our party too. And also, will there be any other way to get something like Eris's gift? Maybe some event or way, or at least something similar? Also really wanna ask about Medea, but I'll wait and see what will you cook for her. Also, I'll say, they make really good couple with Ariston. Anyway, will be glad if you can answer at least some of those, but if not, I'll patiently will wait for continuation of the game. Cheers and good luck, may you ever be creative.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. ^^
DeleteNo comment on that one. XD There's been some discussion of such topics on the discord, though, if you're interested. Lots of speculation over there in general. As a player character, the Rune Knight is most likely* to be a New Moon only party member, though she could appear on other routes in other capacities. But as per the *, not saying for sure one way or the other at this point in time.
Glad you enjoy those two, though. And thanks!
Thanks for answers. Well if we could get her some other way, it will be nice, but if not, that's cool too, makes it unique in some way. Here's another question that's bugging me. Will the portraits of characters be unifed in one style, like all characters will have portraits in style like Lorena, Desponia and Ligaea? Or it will always be a mix? Because honestly, i very much love Ariadne's sprite as it is. But i love the new portraits of Lorena and Desponia more that old ones.
DeleteI don't plan to redo everyone, no. You can probably expect new outfits for characters like the ones we saw for Ariadne and Calysia (depending on your route) this chapter, though. The ones I've redone were those whose old art was at a lower standard of quality compared to Ariadne, Lorelai, Eris, etc.
DeleteOkay, thx again for all of your answers. I'm eagerly awating new chapters and new party or loyal members in the future. Have a good day!
