[quote name='opterasis']After watching some footage on GT.com, so am I.
Does anyone know how the leveling/upgrading stuff will work in this game?[/quote]
Im assuming its like the demo, you level up after acumilating enough EXP which nets you Attributes points(200 pts or so per level) that you can distribute between Three different Catagories such as SP, Health, and Luck(which require a different amount of attribute points like for luck it takes 8 att points to gain 1 in luck)
Upgrading stuff is done from LOOT drops from Enemies, Synthesis, and Shop. The Loot drop is frequent, which is very good in my oppion.
The learning of abilities is handle very differently then what Im use to. you talk to a character who then allows you to pick a SKILL to learn, the skill then gives you guide lines of what you have to do to LEARN it so you can actually use it. One guideline I saw was for the HEAL ability which required you to slay numorouse different types of monsters (I forgot their names).
This game caught me off guard at how fun and deep it is, definitly on my top 5 most wanted games for 2008.
