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 are your tactics for using Shulk, Sharla and Reyn?
So Melia and Riki guys, what moves should I have equipped with them and what do those moves do? It's been so long I've forgotten how to control the squad orders, attack, defend etc someone remind me.
Tactics? Haven't you been listening to anything I've said?
I really can't recall much of it. I think I kept Sharla and Reyn focused on the main boss, while taking out all other annoyances myself. Of course, I had to keep an eye on my whole team to be sure nobody would stray into pits of acid. I do remember grinding a level or 2 before being able to beat her, I was about the same level as the boss when I took her down, it's not like I just kept levelling untill I was of a much higher level.
there is a fucking tutorial in the game. Use it.Reyn, sharla and shulk is the worst possible team.
I mean like proper tactics, use break, reyn will topple, then use daze etc.
that's not tactics, that's hpw you're suposed to ply the game! Besides, cut me some slack, it's been a year since I put the game away. In chain attacks, be sure to link same coloured attacks, have sharla heal as much as you can. Choose attacks for your squad that match up well. I can't recall anything specific for that battle though, I didn't alter how I played specifically for this battle. And last but not least: don't let Iga put you off with advice on how you HAVE to play. My advice might seem like that of a bumbling fool compared to his, bit I DID beat the game, so puh!
Thats how I beat the final boss...
There was no way to do it without a super healer, not riki or melia, I needed someone that can do crazy healing constantly.
That boss is easy. All I did was be melia, I had a good four of her main buff/attack spells (make sure to have regen, the red staff physical attack, her topple attack and the aura blast.) I give riki the healing art, some of the physical ones like backattack and the one that makes them bleed. For that boss have more spells, he has flame, ice, poison. Shulk just let him be, the key is to warn him when a vision happens so you can use the correct blade power. If you see a vision of a red attack, use speed spell on the character targeted. If you see a white attack coming cast shield (and hope you leveled it enough). There are some other tactics you can use but those are the big two. I used melia and I just kept casting the spells over and over, and using aura blast when a maxed the center attack, Keep telling your teamates to attack only the boss, ignore everything else.
Thank you, bookmarked!
So who was your tank, Shulk? No wonder he dies multiple times. I would have replaced Shulk with Dunban. If she does her talent arts, put her too sleep to stop it. Or topple her to delay it. Dunban will simply avoid all physical attacks, because he is awesome.
There was no way to do it because you used Reyn. That blockhead absorbs damage like a sponge. Dunban, avoids all damage and therefore negates the need for any healer. I beat all the most powerful monsters, with Melia, Shulk, Dunban combo. The most powerful monster outlevelled me by 21 levels.
