Growlanser: Heritage of War

[Brill Weave]

Anyone playing it? What do you think of it? So far I'm not as impressed as I was with prior entries in the series. The combat system is arguably one of the worst I've ever seen. But the story is fantastic so far. I've come across several "WTF?!" moments in the time I've been playing it.

Finished the game. Was not impressed... defiantly deserved the sub 7 reviews it's been getting. Did love the story... but seriously awful combat.

Painful, and pretty bad compared to Growlanser 2 and 3 IMO.

Glad I burned a copy to try it out before buying, it really seemed like a step back to me.

I agree that the combat system is absolutely horrid. The story I thought was fantastic for the most part. I have just hit the part where you can give out the friendship medal to one of the women in the group. I still have no fucking clue how the plate system works

All learned skills and abilities on the flow are 100%.
All learned skills and abilities not on the flow are 50%

I have read explanation after explanantion and NONE of them were that fucking simple. Thank you!

Now how do I increase their levels up higher? I've been able to hit level 9 on a few assorted skills like Wind Edge and Fierce Strike. Is it just keeping a flow going from the start to the last spot available at the end?

The flow ends at the last spot, so yes.

They combine to a max of level 9.
You can only place 3 of any type ever (I THINK), I didn't get too far into the game before I got bored.
So, you need at least one in the main flow to max out a skill. With 2 others at 100% which are not in the flow.

And yet you still know more than I do Thanks again.

Haha, I barely made it to where that biomonster is awakened. Got a Gold Complete on the mission following that and put it down to finish WAV and never picked it back up.

One of the worst games ive ever played, ever.
The review over at RPGamer.com makes me lul.

Beat it last night. Last fight is ridiculously stupid. Ending is fairly weak, not even an anime ending. Just a bare bones epiloque.
