I'm unable to participate because I'm pinching on every penny I get - when I can at least, I am a... fiend for books - so how about this: I'm making a thread to see how ya'll enjoy the newest update! Any gripes? Any favorite moments? I'd just love to hear you talk about it (And I don't particularly care about spoilers, the experience will be more than enough on my own (and I already bought the game on Steam - it's only a matter of time then (unless public drops first (I prefer the website))))!

Also there's a Fire Emblem-esque strategy mini game if you choose to attack the fortress with Calise and you can recruit from any not-demonic forces in the area to buff out your forces.

Also waiting on the public release (steam owner) but I got two questions if anyone willing to answer:

1. Is there different outcomes? I know there is two routes into the dungeon, along with the cultist strength being related to if you have done other dungeons, but do they (or choices you make during the dungeon) effect the ending?

2. Is there any differences if you were doing a corruption run of the game? Kind of building off of the last point, is there any choices if you want to do corruption?

If you go with the princess, you get a chance to exspose Kasyrra posing as the champion of Velun and can snitch on Prince Vrannus as a demon cultist.

Can we just stop with the Faceless Blade fights? Her fights are some of the worst because even with maxed out Agility, my party just struggles to hit her 80% of the time. In this (third!) fight, she also has lifesteal (don't think she had that in the previous fights?). I just had a fight against her go on for, I shit you not, probably 25-30 turns because I couldn't hit her to finish her, while she would heal a hundred or so HP in a single turn, meanwhile I was using attacks that restore HP, using healing items, and spamming Kiyoko shields to stay in the fight. I ended up losing. In the end, it was literally just a case of getting lucky enough for my attacks to actually land that made me win.

My issue with it (and I say this having not played the new content yet) is that the difficulty on dark is really inconsistent. 95% of fights are still an absolute cakewalk with a well built party and then you just get your shit kicked in by the other 5%. It doesn't make the game itself any harder, it just makes like 2 ish fights incredibly difficult

Speaking of Kiyoko and the Faceless Blade, it's worth bringing Kiyoko to the new dungeon at least once for their special interactions with each other. You'll know when you see them.
