Famitsu/Dengeki: Hands-on w/ α & Future β Plans

[Kirb]

The only thing I don't like stat allocation is messing up or wanting to change later. Anyone remember RO years ago where people basically had to remake their character every time they wanted to change their stats?

This type of thing is only good if you can pay (in-game currency or something) to reset your stats so you can re-do them when you need to.

They've already stated multiple times that you can reallocate your stats, probably a quest or something.

Luck is for critical hits and things like that. It is not for drops at all.

Every game ever that has a luck stat works like this. From Secret of Mana to Ragnarok Online.

Metroidvanias disagree.

[freddiepines]

Quest-based or Gil fee respec would be swell.

Nitpicker.

[arus2001]

Well, it's certainly not the only game(s) where luck functioned in a TH manner.

Besides, leveling a pure Luck character would probably be a bitch after a certain point even if PLs were possible to some degree.

[Azurewrath]

Just max out a character, respec pure luck, use that character as a TH bot. =D

[bluefan]

Where did they say luck would have any bearing on crits?

Typically, SE games luck status pertains to critical hits.

I very much doubt Luck will have any effect on drops, but there's always a possibility.

[Kirb]

I really doubt that luck pertains to drops as well, because that could get ugly really quick. It probably has more to do with critical hits and HQ chances than anything.

and like I said before, I'm expecting that there will be restrictions as to how much you can place in one stat in relation to all of the other stats, so you can't just dump everything into 1 or 2 stats.

Why not? SEs been implying complete free character growth, so I don't think there should be a cap. You'll obviously need to be a bit head smart and not dump everything into just one stat. Great system to separate the bad from the good :D

Added some more info regarding Guildleve difficulty level corresponding to party size

[Khamsin]

I think it would be pretty interesting for luck to determine how good your lots are, how often things drop for you, and how often your talisman for the odin fight is accepted.

[Yekyaa]

^ I lol'd

[scottykai]

I'm really looking forward to spending a whole day in character creation

So you can pick the difficulty? That's a lot of content if they all have different drops/rewards!

[Zumi]

Usually luck is for crit and not drops. In FFX it was for crit, also effect hit rate and evasion.

[scottykai]

I'm really hoping race doesn't play too much a role in stats.

[SephYuyX]

I mix of PSO, a mix of RO.. Me likey.

Yes, you can choose.

Fuck all this stuff is getting me excited, and i try not to get hyped for games
