E3 Demo Feedback for the developer's team

This is true. We don't intend to keep those pop up tutorials since this was solely for E3 demonstration purpose. We're planning to replace it with more cinematic, and/or use NPCs to guide through it. 

I did love the direction of this game so far. For a prototype, it's very good. Some stuff I wanted to bring up that probably was previously mentioned:

1) Overall graphics are good but I believe need a bit more polish. Textures could be higher resolution and a bit more detail.
2) I noticed that cosmetics from specific pieces of armor (headband, boots, weapon, etc) appear on your character depending on what you equip but not for the body armor. Will this change? I would like it where every single piece of gear in the game reflects visually on the character directly. That would be very awesome.
3) Volume levels of music/sound affects seem low but this I'm sure is easily adjustable.
4) I had one glitch where my character kept moving left by itself after getting hit in the air by an enemy with a specific attack. It only happened once. I had to unplug the controller, pause the game, replug the controller and unpause it for it to work again (specifically in that order).
5) Please put in an awesome Game Over music/sound feature like Castlevania did. That to me by far is the best Game Over piece of all time in video game history.
6) Buttons on demo seemed to be mapped wrong when I was using my Xbox 360 controller. Not sure why. Was a 3rd party Xbox controller. Hoping the controller support will be fine tuned near release.
7) To me, maybe the visuals/overlay of the screen seems a bit zoomed out too much? Maybe could try different levels of zoom or maybe have a feature to adjust the zoom? Just a thought.

Overall, great work so far. Please take your time and put all the love and care into this game as I don't want to see this become another Mighty Number 9 dud. Don't rush this gem. I know Iga is leagues better than that .

Eh, I think that's immersion breaking. I actually like the button prompts popping up. At least with stuff like that you can turn off in settings in games. Video game characters telling me how to play a game just pulls me out of the world.

I'm probably the oddball out with this though. Save the energy and work for something else Inti/art play

Thanks Mana! Well...to me, it would appear that the main bulk of these comments by tally relate to things that either were stated to be planned for improvements in the update or aspects that I would assume would automatically improve besides. And what Vepar looks like is #1, that's what I have the least problem with =/

A lot of people just now getting into the game/have not seen it since the KS and/or haven't read the update may be giving a lot of the feedback, but their voices are indeed no less important. I don't know how better to communicate all of this than a quantity-based system that wouldn't require a bit too much of staff.

Keep the feedback rolling in, everyone! In a way, I also suppose it's a good thing that what the team is already working on is what people want to see. Add one more for command-input special attacks for me, if I'm not already tallied in that ;p ...I've posted so much elsewhere already of what I want in the game that I couldn't begin (and you wouldn't want me lol) to recall it all now, but that and perhaps the return of holy relic subweapons/attacks are my big ones.

Weird thing, but I think the hands that Miriam wields her weapon need to be switched, it'd look better, I think so anyway. Magic should be used from the hand that's more in the background, rather then the foreground. Seems odd.

Another nitpick, is that Miriam has an animation for holding her weapon, but it ends and goes back to the normal weaponless Miriam. Maybe have her holding the weapon at all times, as long as she has one equipped.

She also doesn't exactly put much emotion into the casting animations, she just lifelessly holds her hand out and shoots. Maybe give it a bit more life?

How about shard equipment combos?
For example. If you equip the morte cannon shard with another shard that gives fire resistance, you have a permanent fire aura that damages enemies around you.

It could be like gear sets that could change your playstyle in some way.

Cool, Mehve will check that out

I hadn't browsed the forums in a while, but was there any plan of a 'move set' archive for the game's pause menu? It might make more sense seeing these 'tutorials' as scribbled notes rather than NPC dialog.

The only problem (if you could really even call it that) I really had with the demo was probably the aesthetics of the menu. Everything pops out too much and just looks sorta... cheap? Especially with the some of the FONT CHOICES (ALL CAPS! ALL CAPS LAZY ARIAL FONT FOR DAYS! DID I MENTION ARIAL SCREAMS LAZY?). It would be great if everything in the menu could be made to look a bit more subdued and blend into the background. Maybe dress up the exp, HP, MP bar a bit too. It might sound nitpicky of me, but hey, small stuff makes all the difference.

Other general suggestions would be control customization, different themes for the menu (probably too much trouble but what the hell) and maybe color changing for the menu (or brackets) like what was in SoTN (again, prolly too much trouble).

One change that I would urge strongly is differently colored damage numbers for dealing and receiving damage, or at least change it so received damage appears over your head like in SoTN. Sometimes dealing damage and getting contact damage at the same time makes it hard to differentiate how much damage was actually done.

Overall it's great. Looking forward to the finished product.
