*This is a safe haven for gamers who value game mechanics and systems, because that’s what makes anything from 8-bit to 8k, equally enjoyable.* *Thanks for taking out some time to watch my stuff! I appreciate that!* - Alex What do you all think about this kind of combat system? I have played quite a few RPGS with similar battle mechanics and although it starts out fairly basic early one, give it a few hours and it really starts to show its unique elements. Really fun stuff and tons of flexibility with all the hero classes!
Thanks for the tip and tricks it really helped, I played the demo and beat the secret cat boss fight recently and instantly fell in love with this game, I already pre-ordered I'm so happy this game got funded for this game to finally come out.
Technically Valkyrie Profile is a tri-Ace game and they made Exist Archive some years ago, which is quite similar to the first Valkyrie Profile. It was mostly ignored because people didn't like the character models, though.
Your video elevated this game from "ehhh, might be interesting, seems a bit gimmicky" to "i can really get behind this, i should give this a go" for me.
This is a useful guide! The combat can honestly be a bit overwhelming with your four characters. And man the combat feels great! Like it had some punch to it! And I love the puddle chick too!
i have been playing this game for 2 days and im loving it, for me its the best single player game released since sekiro... The only problem i got its the lack of information the game gives you for almost everything
i have to constantly recheck skills to remember what to do lol I'm currently stuck though cause the walls I'm trying to jump are too spread apart and too high up for me to be able to traverse them... like i know its possible but i just can't do it. that parkour stuff is probably the worst part of the game for me especially when i wanna hurry up and get to the story
Valkyrie Profile fan and Indivisible player here, watching your video for the first time. Thanks for this breakdown. I made my own tutorial for beginnners, but it's a slower and longer video because of all the time I spent pausing the combat to explain stuff. Your video's a good primer, which I hope all new players watch for a quick bite of advice.
Just reached the port city in the game and while I do enjoy the characters, sound, and story, I'm not fond of the battle system. For myself, there is too much going on on the screen at the times when timing button presses is important. I'd enjoy the game a great deal more if blocking didn't require such precise timing, and didn't drain your iddhi bar.
This was a great guide! I've already beaten the game, and played backer previews, but I still learned some neat tricks from this. I'm sending this to all my friends who I'm trying to get into the game -- it's a GREAT primer for the combat system.
I really love the aesthetics & art designs in this game. So beautiful. Also, I think tales players will find the combat right at home with the whole comboing & juggling like fighting game.
bruh =_= thank you so much ! i didn't knew that combos are so very important in this game i thought enemies are naturally tank sponges and i always run out of spiritual meter because im holding the all block button instead blocking with one specific button or hero ... this was really life changing and now im enjoying the game!!! those Negative reviews was not relevant at all because they're not playing the game right
I still struggle with the blocking and telling the difference between when I need to do a clean block or can block with the whole team. The game should really let the enemies in practice mode attack you instead of just standing there
This is a pretty good game so far. Just got it last night. However, it is SUPER hard so far. I don't use one character at a time, I send all characters all guns blazing lol. Granted I am new to the game and will probably get better later.. but so far it's been the only thing that's saved me several times. Never thought I'd like a game liek this, but pretty fun. Great graphics and sound.
Oh my god... I remember seeing this game being demo’d a couple years ago and thought it looked alright. But now? Holy shit it’s so polished! Definitely going to add it to my steam library now
I love the art and the story is cool, but the combat just got too furstrating for me, one moment its managable then the next encounter is way too difficult, i ended up getting so frustrated I never went back to it.
I might as well consider your game picks as games you recommend. And man, I like the games you pick to play and review. Have you done Ride to Hell? Fantastic game!
Yeah played it a long while ago and loved it I'm normally not in to turn-based combat,but man did I love it in this game it's fast paced and man the movements are so beautiful.
Thanks for this. The game is so obtuse as to its mechanics. I'm not sure i'll stick with it due to me not really being a fighting game fan at all, and i'm pretty sure i'll hit a blocker sooner rather than later which will just tune me out of it.
Thanks, that was more informative than the poor ingame tutorial. As somebody who never really played fighting games I might go with a refund option, as the game fails to teach you these things properly and from what I saw in your video it just feels overwhelming. Yeah, juggeling, I do that all day, but only with my life... ;)
Some of the battle mechanics in this game could spice up turn-based RPGs Just imagine: Incoming big attack! L: DODGE! R:Brace for it! Button Blocking timing depending on the party formation! Put your tank in front of your glasses cannon!
Goodness, brain freeze, even with this explanation I'm still finding the combat confusing, I only just learned about the up down attacks which the in game tutorial didn't explain very well, I hope I don't get wrecked later because of this 😤
I bought this game today and I am hating the combat. I can't get the block timing right, so every battle nearly wiped my team. I'm on the first boss and can't get it lower than 80% health before wiping my team. So frustrated.
FriskyMeerkat if you have full idhi( not sure on spelling) you can hold the right bumper and then tap the left, it will refill your teams health. I’m on Xbox, but assume PS is the same
Yeah just got platinum, all i say is absolutely no need for tactics just go all in - combat is that easy. Keep upgrading ure attack, mixed with good blocking which is fairly leniant. Most bosses went down with just one rush of attacks
None of this actually works. Blocking doesn't do anything and there is no way to actually do a "high" or "low" attack. All you can do is mash the buttons for attack. There's no way to do a combo higher than 2 or 3. What is everyone else doing that I'm not?
Really digging the Water elemental lady, but the game doesnt seem like my jam outside of the Igavania gameplay. Could never get into the Valkyrie Profile/ Riviera style combat.
Hello. Could you please explain to me how to switch Ajnas weapons during combat (not for exploration)? During combat she has combos that include her fists, her axe and now her bow too for me. I am asking since it all feels random which weapon she is going to use. It feels weird to me that sometimes she attacks with different weapon. I thought she is going to use a specific weapon depending on what enemy I have her attack (flying enemy for example) but it does not seem to be the case. Sorry if I am explaining it confusingly .... to be honest I am absolutely clueless and all I know is that it feels weird and beyond my control when sometimes she attacks with an axe and sometimes with bow or fists and I am left feeling that it sure would be nice to actually CONTROL which weapon she is going to use. Sorry ... thanks to anyone who can explain this to me.
Anyone else unable to use Ajna's focus to resurrect fallen team members? Game controls say to use LB + RB but that does not work. I've seen streamers use the ability without any difficulty so this is becoming quite frustrating for me since some of the fights are quite hard without being able to use Ajna's heal/res...
Started playing this game this morning.... did not do ANYTHING like this. Glad I watched this video. I actually have a bunch of those characters and try out some of those combos pretty much right now. I just got the 3 iddah bars unlocked so I'm excited to wombo these monsters. Also didn't know about the ATB thing where it charges faster if you do different moves. That'y why Ginseng and Honey are so fast, I always alternate between healing and her attack which boosts the heal lol.
I loved Valkyrie profile and happy someone made a “spiritual successor” I hope they do the same with Star ocean some day because I hate how square treats it.
This game deserved so much more attention then it got...damn you gaming community...always ignoring these amazing games and going for the overhyped crap... Buying more star wars trash from EA instead of supporting great developers that make innovative games.
Sadly the game is so easy that the combo system is just a way of making fights last longer... Pretty early on, mashing everything is not only a viable strat, but THE viable strat (bar some gimmicky bosses). I can't stress enough how sad that is, because the base for an amazing system is all there and each character plays and feels completely different..
@@xProtobro well I wasn't in this vid but if you're wondering how to attack it's whatever button the character is assigned to. If you're wondering about the big super moves you press R1 1-3 times to the desired level strength and the character will perform.
Instead of explaining how combat works, you spoil characters and features (irrelevant to combat but relevant to overall game experience.) I can't even begin to explain how stupid this idea is.
I would love to see a FF game using this battle system, but it'd just be pegged as a Valkyrie Profile knockoff just how some people are doing with this game.

it looks really good but like, £30 is quite alot of money. ill prob buy if a sale comes up tho
I enjoy action side strollers, I don’t usually play RPGs, but the way combat is implemented in this games seems intriguing.
Thanks for the tip and tricks it really helped, I played the demo and beat the secret cat boss fight recently and instantly fell in love with this game, I already pre-ordered I'm so happy this game got funded for this game to finally come out.
How do u reverse a grab?
bro,can you help me? how i use up n down attack with keyboard?
Since SquareEnix won't make a new Valkyrie Profile, it is good to see someone step in and make their own. Definitely gonna get this.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Sharpshooter still stuck may i ask?
I'm subbed to a lot of gaming channels, but this is the first coverage I've seen this game get!
The game looks so fun to play and amazing thanks for explaining the combos and the stuff
Welcome!
I do like that to stop them blocking you basically do a high-low mixup.

Combat looks just like Valkyrie Profile and i love it.

@BoomstickGaming question: You said you need to do a reversal to counter grab attacks. How do you do reversals?
Great video! I didn't know about the gold damage or the attack cooldowns so this really helped; cheers!
When. The fuck. Did Indivisible come out???
Oh my God the hype is so real for me right now.
This looks really interesting!
I finish this morning and I absolute feel fantastic with the end. *Cries in spanish*
I really love the aesthetics & art designs in this game. So beautiful. Also, I think tales players will find the combat right at home with the whole comboing & juggling like fighting game.
Great info dude 👍
Why have i never heard of this before? Nice video
I'm gonna have to remember this video the day I decide to pick this up. Game looks REALLY fun.
This game looks great. Informative review.
Thank goodness for this video.
Thanks for the info.
Just got the game yesterday (longtime Skullgirls player), and was glad to have looked this up before starting.
This game looks really fun but I'm not good at fighting games and that part intimadated me
Wow this game looks awesome
looks interesting, might actually get it
bruh =_=
thank you so much !
i didn't knew that combos are so very important in this game i thought enemies are naturally tank sponges

this was really life changing and now im enjoying the game!!!
those Negative reviews was not relevant at all because they're not playing the game right
Ooh. I'm glad I watched this. I didn't notice that guarding enemies had blue health bars.
Why doesn't it teach you how to do this? I've been playing for hours and I can't get past bleu. Any advice? He's too hard so i had to ragequit
This helped alot thank you. Guys super attacks is op and blocking is good.
I still struggle with the blocking and telling the difference between when I need to do a clean block or can block with the whole team. The game should really let the enemies in practice mode attack you instead of just standing there
Game looks interesting now I see combat instead of just a trailer.
I LOVE Xenogears' battle system, and this looks like a cracked out version of that, gonna have to check it out
108 combo at the start?
METAPHYSICAL:D

Nice video, looks really good but does anyone know if there an option to turn off the stupid/annoying screen shake gimmick??
I saved this video for later but I guess I won’t need it anymore cause I already beat the game, lol your welcome for the free view
Thank you for the video. I got my butt kicked by a spider until I watched your video. That spider went down. Lol
I love Razmi.
Having the water healer & the Aztec girl is so broken. One heals the other sets trap disabling enemy turn/gain fast iddhi (energy).
How do initiate battle without taking damage?
JUST TELL US WHAT BUTTONS TO PRESS ON PC!! Been struggle to counter grapple, there no setting to tell you for help.
How do you break he guard armor?
How do i guard crush wont let me
make more of these. I want specifics combos!

You have to wait until you have 1 full gauge before you can use resurrection.
