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.

Are you sure you're on the final battle? I've returned to this game to finally finish it. I have nearly 120 hours played and am at level 76 and 75 for my characters. Fought a level 75 boss when I was at level 74 and she kicked my ass. It didn't help that my teammates would go and stand in the pools of acid during the fight. Fucking retards. Doing a few quests to get more levels and will return to fight her again soon.

Geez, I felt bad that I have Xenobalde but haven't played it. Well, that's better than playing to the end and giving up like a bunch of cowards.

I had trouble with her also. But she is very weak against ether attacks. So using Melia and Riki will end her quickly.

You don't understand, this bitch dazes your whole team and "It didn't help that my teammates would go and stand in the pools of acid during the fight. Fucking retards. "

Iggly I don't refuse to listen to your advice. I can't be arsed going back to it yet. Still haven't bothered beating Ganon at the end of Skyward Sword either.

This is the game that doesnt end, it just goes on and on my friend. Some people started playing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue playing it forever just because this is the game that doesnt end...
