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.

That's how I understood it, save for it being the whole universe.  I acknowledge the Great error of my conviction. Nyaa. Either way, for the story it doesn't really matter If It's One or the other.

So I cracked this game open again at the weekend to see where I was.

128 hours in, level 75.

Last played in January, 2012 that's over 3 years ago. frown

So I thought, why not? And where did I emerge out of my save? In front of fucking Lorathia. Having not played the game for 3 years how the heck am I going to remember how the battle system works. sad

You need to level up a few more levels.

Well you should be able to easily beat that fight by level 77. And to finish off the game I was level 79 but it was TOUGH. So you wanna be at least around level 80 to finish the game.

Just use that area right outside the fight you're at now to level up some.

Find one of those clear crabs. Come up behind it....save your game. Beat it, save your game. Load that save....the crab will be there again. Rinse & repeat.
