Now things are getting interesting.��

IGN eyes on trailer and screens

A lone warrior chopping through an army of robotic warriors with an outsized Cloud Strife-like energy sword. Colossal war machines advancing though a misty canyon, shooting anything that moves. The few remaining human defenders hiding behind simple wooden shields that are no match for high-energy weapons. Welcome to the world of Monado.��


The debut trailer for Monado: Beginning of the World premiered today at E3: 2009, and first impressions for the new Wii RPG are that the beginning is going to be pretty exciting. Things kick off with that canyon-set battle, revealing more and bigger enemies with an interesting steampunk design. Things likely don't end well for our lone warrior, as we soon segue to a young blonde hero discovering that energy sword - now inert - only to see it flash blindingly to life the moment he picks it up. Your standard JRPG Hero's Journey (tm) is definitely in full effect here, with just a dash of King Arthur.��


Gameplay appears to be open-world, where you'll traverse lush jungles, glowing forests, climb sheer walls, and encounter the crumbling remains of a conquered people. It looks nicely textured and details pop, animating at what looks like a smooth 30 fps.��


Players will pick up two partners in their travels, and while combat initially looks turn-based, we saw all three party members attacking simultaneously. Transitions into combat are completely seamless; characters approach enemies, draw weapons, and it's on. One scene showed your team (wielding much smaller edged weaponry) surrounding a lizard-man enemy, who didn't make much of a dent in their lifebars before it was downed. A much larger lizard-man (a good twenty feet tall) and giant mutant crab monster probably fared better.

Unique Monsters, some suprise sidequests, filling your collectapedia and filling out the map.

I'll go back and look, I didn't spot much before. I need to get a gate, gate 3 I think open in sword valley but I don't know how.

Switch is in a building. Activate it and you open the gate.

I went to the top of Mechonis field.

WOW

This game is so badass, love the music and the moving gears and stuff. They seem to have locked off galahad and sword valley now.

My inventory is troublesome now. I use the collectopedia, I sell non-star or quest items and I use items to rebuild colony 6 yet still I barely have any room for new stuff.

Sharla is starting to die a lot now, I will have to boost her defence at the expense of  ether. Looking at her stats though, she has a better defence and HP than my Shulk and yet she gets battered so easily? Why?

Because her tits are hanging out. Why are you still using Sharla?

To answer your question, check your agility stat. Shulk probably avoids more attacks.

Problem is I have Sharla with three gear pieces which are Unique i.e with unchangable gems. I really need to just use items with slots and fiddle with the gems to raise her stats in the way I want. I also played as Dunban last night as my main character. Holy hell, he performs his arts so quickly, almost double the speed of Shulks. You can just batter people to death fairly quickly.

Also I have the shades on Dunban.

LOL I can't stop laughing in the cutscenes.

GG you are far enough.

Take a look at this

It is a spreadsheet detailing all the side missions, unique monsters, gifts, secrets etc. There are no story spoilers.

I'll use that for Colony 6. Most of the other stuff I seem to have done by myself.

Some dude on GAF just did the story mode in 60 hrs. He's missed out on so much, I feel sorry for him.

How far along are you anyways GG?

I am now fighting high level monster to collect level V crystals and to level up. I also raised all the affinity between my team mates to max except for Dunban <=> Riki's relationship, which I will do shortly. I am crafting high level gems to help me defeat the level 105, 110, 114 and 120 uniques (remember level cap is 99). After that I will rape the final boss and probably start game+ and do all the sidequest I missed, because the choices I made.
