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.

Hit the HQ option.
I'm at M,City central factory.
The next cut-of point is when you fight the bastard. You know who at Agniratha. I suggest you finish all the sidequests in Alcamoth, M Field, M Factory and Agniratha before proceeding.
So when exactly do I have to finish these quests by? I'm at C.Factory, then it's Agniratha? and it's the end of agnithara where the cut off is?
It is a bit further, but it is better if you do it before the end of Agniratha. And Agniratha is after the factory level.
Cool, thanks for all this.
Colony 6 is what's worrying me at the moment, so many items they need for further upgrades.
You cannot miss any of those items. You should worry about M field, M factory, Agniratha and Alcamoth. Those are the areas that will be locked out.
I can't seem to see many, if any side quests in M. field.
Is it like Alcamoth's quests which are listed under alcamoth but happen all over the place in different areas, like get monkey fruit from Makna forest?
Are there quests listed elsewhere which say get (X) from M.Field?
There are some from Hidden Village that require you to find stuff there. There is a Machina Refuge that gives you sidequests. Plus there are unique monsters there
Is Machina refuge in m.field?
Yes, I take it you have not found it yet?!
