Five Thoughts/Questions
1) Sorry for the lost footage early, but I didn't lose much. Just some fairly mundane task turn-ins and fights.
2)
I assumed the random support folks only joined the fight if I called
for it, but it seemed like they were coming it willy-nilly and booting
my party members out while doing so. It frustrated me at the time,
though in hindsight I don't mind I guess.
3) That said, a minor
thing that bugged me disproportionately was the game devs giving their
names and titles (I assume?) to the support personnel. Makes this feel
like an amateur project, idk. I like that sort of thing being relegated
to a secret easter egg, not what seems to be a core mechanic.
4)
I really like the surrender mechanic after you kill a leader. It's a
neat and flavorful incentive to go about combat in a way I wouldn't
normally.
5) Is it possible to escape combat once I'm in it in
the open world? I'm glad I couldn't just so I could capture the utter
terror of being stuck in combat with a group of level 99s, but would be a
nice tool going forward. XD
