Topic: The Legend of Legacy.

@Dezzy, I think Canis left the site a couple weeks ago (said he might be back, but it would be 6 months down the road, at best).

Liking what I am seeing here. Adding this to an already lengthy "need to check out " list

@Raider70: Put Stella Glow in that list as well. That one looks really good to me.

Check the link out I put in this news story.

@Spoony_Tech:

Love that trailer .. I read the impressions thread and I really think I might like this even more than legend of legacy. Like the look of it and the Srpg lean
On the list it goes !

The demo is available to download, it comes with the prologue and the first two dungeons, and as usual the save file is transferable to the full version.

I'm downloading it, hopefully it's good.

@Morpheel: My day was so busy I had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder! I'm also so knee deep into Persona Q this had also made me forget.

I played a bit of the first dungeon. The game looks amazing, it's really pretty.

You can choose from several characters, each one with their own stories and motivations.

Combat is like in any standard RPG, but your stats and abilities seem to grow as you use them instead of just leveling up your character.

It seems you heal after every battle, and there doesn't seem to be a way to pause the game or any menus to look at so far. The start and select buttons take screenshots. Edit: now that I'm out of the forest, I can open the menu to change equipment and stuff.

You make money by selling loot from chests and maps, the more complete the map is the better it sells. The map just autofills as you move around the dungeon.

I never thought of a map being valuable but that makes total sense. People would pay good money for a proper map.

As far as the story goes, the island just appeared there one day, so exploring it is the hot new thing to do, it seems. That's why mapping the dungeons is profitable.

I've reached the main town and now I can open the Y menu to do the typical RPG menu stuff.

Also, it seems the merchant will only buy each map once. I'll try to complete the first map before selling it.

I'm interested to know how long the demo is. I don't mind a long demo but Atlus seems to have the longest and I don't want to jump into something too long as it will interfere with Q.

I'll let you know when I reach the end of the demo.

Edit: your HP heals after every battle, BUT if a character faints, their max HP will go down until you go rest at the inn.

That's an interesting system.

I'm all for changing things up a little. Every rpg should be unique in certain ways. Like what you're saying so far.

Well, a bit more info:

You can use elemental stones to learn new abilities, use them a bit and the character will assimilate the ability and will be able to use it naturally without the stone.

The dungeons seem to be rather expansive, each room is huge and with several exits. It'll take a while to complete each map.

Also, it seems that to get more places to explore you need to get maps. I just bought another map and it opened up in the world map. (BTW that's how you visit places, there's no overworld). I assume there's other ways to get more maps in the full game.

Also, another one of the playable characters randomly joined my team. The team can only have three active members at a time, but you can change them at the inn.

I downloaded the demo, but probably won't get around to it for a few days.

@Morpheel: Sounds like you're getting close to the end of the demo. However with Atlus you never know. 10 hour demos are almost their norm.

I do think that's all the content I'll unlock in the demo. Playing though all of it will take a while though.

I played one hour and I just scratched the surface of the first dungeon.

Definitely going to give this a go after work. Been really keen on this for quite a while now.

Drops Oct 13, same day as the new Corpse Party. That'll be a fun week!

Started playing the demo of this, since I really have nothing else going on 3DS wise.

I picked Eloise as my starter character, for reasons...

Very beautiful. The game's art direction, that is (seriously, this game looks gorgeous in motion). Seems like a pretty decent JRPG so far (just got back to the city after my first foray into the forest).

I just got to the city and talked to the Adventure King as well. So far I'm not feeling this game. Art direction aside it's as generic as I've seen in an rpg in a while. If course I need to play more to see more of where this is going but it's been so so for me.

So I'm guessing we're getting the demo in Europe a year later, like the release date?
