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.

What the hell is a buff anyway?

A spell or item that raises your stats.

But all my assigned moves for Melia are buffs. It never seems like she attacks anything at all.

That makes 4 people that beat the game. I think only 2 fully completed it. And yes I am in Spain. Enjoying a holiday.




Vader how much of the sidequests did you do?

Well today I will try some of the new high level stuff but I easily did 100.

And no one fully completed it, you telling me you got all those achievements and did every quest, no.

Yeah, I'm wondering, what does it take to consider the game as fully completed?

If she's spamming buffs, then she shouldn't be attacking anything.

No wonder she wasn't doing anything. angry I thought her buffs were spells which were either enhancing the group or attacking the boss.

Fucking game! My team I've used for over 100 hours has to be swapped out to beat a boss? For the girly girl and the ball of fluff? I would rather bitch slap them both. angry

GG, I didn't use either of them, and I beat her.  Don't listen to these fools and their so called 'tactics'!
