Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

This looks great. Definitely going to try it out.

Starting my first game on Custom difficulty -- Hard but with the Added Enemies slider set to Elite (adds 1-2 enemies per battle, one of which is a "special version of the enemy, with more abilities).

Really cool that they have such granularity with the difficulty settings, there's 9 different sliders for different aspects of the game, rather than just having the standard Easy / Normal / Hard option most games have.

Also I'm pretty glad they let you set the gamepad icons to Dualshock buttons.

From reading further reviews, sounds like there's a LOT of customizability when it comes to building your characters.

Apparently each unique story character has their own custom class, but the hidden final classes are only available to generic characters. It always bugged me in FFT that it made little sense to use generic characters once you got the full set of story characters in Chapter 4.

Ah okay quit reading and geeking out and start playing the game already Pharmakos, my gosh.

I’ll check it out. Since Hatorade your video game and board game library seem to align with mine almost identically. FFT and Ogre tactics were some of my favorite games as a teen but haven’t aged very well, hoping this scratches that gaming itch.

Played a couple missions last night. Plays great so far, I like the class unlocking paths and ease of dual classing.

Lol at this image. I hope it doesn’t become an insane micromanage fest 15 hours into the game.

That's...overkill. I have like 5 custom units I run alongside the main ones and that's it. I dont even really use all the main story heroes.

Yeah my guess is that was just an advertising screenshot to show the amount of customization they have on appearance, unless the game changes drastically or you’re playing on super hard I’m not sure you’d ever need that many.

I do like the injury system, it promotes using different characters so you don’t just have a bunch of bench warmers like FFT or disgaea.

I might have to bump up the difficulty a bit... These sorts of games I always end up grinding out abilities asap instead of focusing on the story battles, I'm starting to out level encounters even playing on Hard w/ Elite enemies added.

Got the Crit bonuses from Scoundrel and Ranger stacked up on Reiner. Working towards the Crit bonuses skill on Peddler now.

Anadine did Knight up until getting One For All, then swapped her to Scoundrel so she could combine OFA with a bow. Working pretty well if you plan the turn out right, makes it so every time a character attacks an enemy she'll add in a plink shot with her bow too. Will be better once I get those Crit bonuses for her too, her damage is kind of low right now for it to be as OP as it could be.

Otherwise I've got a pair of recruits that are both working on Wizard and Mender, swapping back and forth to stay even. A Templar+Knight combo, and Scoundrel+Ranger combo I'm working into a Reiner clone for injury replacement purposes.

Kyrie doing her special class of course.

Yeah I'm definitely pretty hooked on this game, stayed up til 3AM playing despite having to actively fight nodding off.

Yeah I’m hooked. Wanted to stay up and play but had to leave at 4am to catch a flight today. Must unlock classes!
