just ignore him. he tends to enter conversations he has nothing to do with just to flame people for no reason whatsoever.

Enough about the window, have at thee!

Some screen grabs from the link that Dark Nemesis posted. Have not seen these ones yet. Really liking the environment variations!




Looks like Shanoa is in Feline/morph form here.




Arachnoa?






Lots of outdoor areas!

Hi! Now THAT's an interesting game. The morph thing seems to be interactive at last, not like the usual morph-and-tackle ones from the latest games.

There should be a Loli transformation glyph.   


"Loli Shanoa and adult Albus. Sittin' in the tree. 
F-O-N-D-L-I-N-G."  =^.~=


kyaaaa~   XD

And a glyph with that you can kill people irl who annoy you on internet forums. That'd be awesome.

I love you, Erimocard.

Platonically, that is.

[Omegasigma]

after reading alot of this, has anoyone else noticed the glyph system is more like the soul system in the sorrow games?

It's actually a little more interesting than that considering the glyphs also constitute the games "standard" weaponry. More like Soul System meets CotM's cards perhaps.

Yeah and aren't the glyphs suppose to have special attacks too?

There are two types of glyphs. The first is equipped to either x or y, the latter to R. The x or y type glyphs are swords or fireballs or whatsoever, the r glyphs are techniques you need to proceed like the hookshot thing we saw or familiars. If you press up and x or y you will unleash a combination attack, that will consume hearts and is made of both glyphs, that are equipped to x and y. So if you have two sword glyphs (don't remember the real name) equipped, you will slash at enemies with a giant sword, like seen on one of the first screenshots. Also, having the same glyph equipped to x and y allows you to use it pretty fast by pressing x and y in turn.

I wonder if they really do make a combination-attacks for each combination. That would be an awesome lot of different techniques. But I guess they won't. Some combinations will likely result in the same attack.

[darkwzrd4]

And some combination might be like the crush attacks of previous games, I would think.

theres also the Enviromental Glyphs, of course, which seem to modify the environment around Shanoa, but only where they appear, like the one that shatters the frozen water so she stops sliding around.
Of course, you can't seem to equip these glyphs, or anything like that. It'd be cool to have glyphs that would alter the temperature, to cause ice to melt and such, although it'd be a bit like Lunar knights weather control system.

so, no fall down+die death after all.

it looks like the pork one where the character just flew up without even leaning back.

Watch the IGN video where she fights the first boss, she pretty clearly falls when she dies. Maybe she has a different animation if she's killed in the air, that'd be kinda cool.
