Yeah, besides the ultrasignals staying around too long, I think the balancing of the mode is pretty good, since the defenders have twice as many players as the other teams to work towards their ink total. A lack of communication is just more evident on bigger teams.

@Clamango
It goes into more detail in the bowgun specific patch notes, that’s just a general note to let people know there have been changes.

@Greatluigi
This is pretty standard behaviour for monster hunter. The expansions usually add some kind of new hunting action and the demos are there to let people try them out prior to release. Iceborne had one (for the clutch claw) and gen ultimate had one (for the new arts and styles).

@ReaperMelia @FroZtedFlakerZz Yeah the Australian 'M' is not recommended for children under 15, however it is just a recommendation. The next one up is MA-15 which is an actual restriction, being restricted to people over the age of 15.

Apparently the Japanese Twitter account confirmed that we’ll find out the exact date for the demo. Pretty keen

@Late You could actually change the main casts' names in the original Bravely Default, though it didn't affect the spoken dialogue.

@Varkster We'll probably be able to get them from EB here, since it's a subsidiary of GameStop. I'm probably going to get the Palico one myself.

@the8thark I don't mean to start drama, but the two 'M' ratings are not comparable. The ESRB's 'M 17+' rating is much more in line with the ACB's 'MA 15+' where as their 'T' rating lines up much better with the ACB's 'M' rating. For anyone interested in looking into the ratings, here is the links to both the ESRB's and ACB's websites explaining their rating systems.

@CromAstronomy Both Bravely Default and Bravely Second let you pay to use the time stopping mechanic in battle. Using the feature allowed you to interrupt an enemy turn to take a turn of your own, while also raising the damage cap from 9,999 to 999,999. You could still use it without paying, but it took a long time to recharge, which you could skip by paying.

Not exactly a game defining feature though, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you got through both games without noticing it, let alone using it.

@HotGoomba Yeah, there’s also the risk of the ACB just refusing to classify games, in which case it’s very hard to sell them. Stuff like Cyberpunk 2077 has to work really hard to remove references to drugs and gambling (or at least minimise them) or the game might not even be allowed to sell.

@HotGoomba Yeah I remember that, it’s probably because our ratings board is very sensitive about references to drug use and simulated gambling (the latter of which applies to Clubhouse Games).

An ‘M’ rating in Australia is not the same as the ‘M’ rating in US. It’s australia’s equivalent of the the ‘T’ or ‘12+’ rating that the series has gotten in the past.

@PhilKenSebben You beat me to it, and explained it much better. Quite keen for this to drop.

@Magician The first game in the series is capital ship based versus Outlaws’ in-the-cockpit dogfight focus. The gameplay is actually quite different to the original.
