DLC, NG+ or sequel?

[Gryphon Nerd]

Well, the title of its own speaks for itself. Does anyone know if there will be a sequel, dlc or even new game plus?

As generic as it sounds, but I kind of want to go through with NG+ to go through the game again, look over things that I might've missed the first time, but also go with the abilities I unlocked if that makes sense.
I dunno, its just me wanting to carry things over.

atm they should focus an rebalancing the whole fight system. There is no challenge at all.

There's new content planned for next year that should make a fresh playthrough worthwhile!

Nice! I am looking forward to it!
And I don't mind the combat system. The way I see it, the game is very rpg light and is more focused on the storytelling, and that is okay in my book.

Not everything needs to be a gruel and grinding challenge.

I agree, why everyone constantly wants RPGs, especially like this one to be challenging? They should be balanced and fair, because the whole point of RPGs is to tell a story and allow you to affect it and play a major role in it, I don't like RPGs like Dark Souls or Elden Ring where there's thousands ways to die, OHKO moves etc.

In a video game, the threat and menace of an enemy exists in both the writing and the actual encounters. You can't really have the struggle between the hero and the villain without the struggle between the player and the game. As it was, the end of my story was something along the lines of:

"Seeing his friend trapped within the god's grasp, bursting with not only his own worked-up rage but that from the sound of Bruce's random-ass tooting, Verm unleashed a whirlwind of blows. Through that furious onslaught, one might never know which strike was the one to turn Siobhan's cage into merely a hand once again, such was the force of them. Free almost as quickly as they were trapped, Siobhan rationalised calmly that perhaps the wand was ready to fire.

The wheel spun.

The flint sparked.

The tension was oversold.

That gigantic roar of a single flame lived barely a fraction of second but made its lasting impression; disappearing just as quickly as it, did too well over a third of both hands' HP, had they even that much left in the first place."

I mean, I'm not going to get as poetical as Meredith did and I also hate 'Souls' level of difficulty in games; but I would like a healthy balance in whatever this NG+ mode may offer and perhaps a rebalancing that doesn't just see Verm doing an Omnislash every turn.

A challenging fight or even bosses with one big 'death' move adds a lot of tension, and in turn the overall experience. A whole bunch of encounters here seemed really daunting narratively (4 Owls, Viper, White God..) and they gave me a legitimate "Oh Sh*t.." feeling going in which sort of didn't pay off a lot of the time when they're doing ~15 damage to one party member while I'm multi hitting them for hundreds per round.
(I ended up equipping that helmet which dropped your armour into the negatives and I actually had party members die on me, so that was a nice bit of self imposed balance )

Do you have a timeframe in mind for the content or achievements? I'm hyped to play but wondering if I should just wait a bit longer?

[robnek]

FWIW I'd love NG+ with an expanded level-up grid/higher level cap, a few secrets and (mainly) more character moments.

[Darius]

ng+ would be nice

[Smurky Turkey]

I do wonder about how that new content making is going, a short update on it would be nice

[GrandMajora]

Watched LoneWolfie do a full playthrough. At this current time, pressing 'Continue' after finishing the story causes the game to crash.

There is a very, very wide breadth between Small Saga and Dark Souls. Honestly, even the classic example of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, a game literally made to introduce people to RPGs in the early 90s, feels more challenging than this game. This is why I'm a fan of difficulty settings - I always play Shin Megami Tensei or Persona on hard, not because I'm some sort of showoff, but because it's more fun to me, but my friends play on normal and that's fine.

It feels, to me, like the game is selling itself short when the boss themes are SO gorgeous, the animation SO detailed, and the combat relatively unique and enjoyable, it would be nice to be able to sink my teeth into it more. As it was I never wiped, nor did I ever even come close. It felt like a tutorial. I would've liked some difficulty settings; I hope they'll be considered for any DLC or sequels.
