still too early to say...
it has some two new weapons (as the game package stated) and it's open map...
u can straight go outside wifout loading...going from own room to outside town also does not required loading...
though when u have accepted a quest, going outside will require loading...
same goes after u completed a quest and it need to load for story acting...
similar monsters encountered for now...the imp, the big worm, the fire heads, ok maybe a new mini boss - like a giant bloated imp...
new NPCs, new story settings (but similar plot iinm) - been awhile i last played Toukiden: The Age of Demon.
the character creation is kinda huge & details - lots of faces, eyes, hairs, etc to choose.
u can even set how big your chest to be...
maybe it's as detail as The Sims character creation
there's this Demon Hand thing...a new mechanic...but i'm not quite sure how to really use it for now...
and bcoz it's open map, u can speedrun now...faster than the normal sprint...
oh u can also now set commands to your NPC ally...
whether they shud defend, atk, or whatever...
Woot, sounds interesting~
I enjoyed the original Toukiden. Gameplay is simple but not as simple as the Warriors' series.
The graphics of the original Toukiden is pretty amazing too, it's definitely far better than Ragnarok Odyssey and sharper/finer/crisper than Soul Sacrifice.
The open-worldness of them game do seems a little odd from your explanation, which is the same from the previous review I saw. It doesn't seem like it was done properly since rather than loading, it should've allowed instant travelling to quest spot (or nearby area).
I'm actually sold for the game, but still thinking whether I should buy and play it first or finish Freedom Wars first since I already have that for quite some time. -.-"
