Speed

[Suicidal]

I love this game, and games like this. But FFS, let me speed up combat animations/movement.

[Argile]

Without the cheat engine speedup, this game would be unplayable for me.

I don't know anything that sounds more torturous than playing the entire palace of the dead on normal speed.

...You do realize this game comes with a fast forward feature, right...? >_>

[hp78]

Yes, but even with fast forward on, I crank CE to make it go x3 faster.

Even with that on, it's still too slow. I dread the thought of doing PotD multiple times...

Once I get used to 2x speed from cheat engine (with in-game fast forward of course), the normal speed seem to be so slow.

I honestly have no idea, why they didn't give players an option, that you could set... in the options, for 'normal' fast mode, 2x fast mode, 3x fast mode ect.
The normal, ingame fast mode is not fast enough. Setting the auto skill animations to the short ones (or off I think is also an option) speeds things up a bit, but imo still not fast enough.

I'm guessing these are the people playing with A.I. on.

90% of fights can be done with just AI, as poorly programmed as it is.

I'm waiting for that Oz+Ozma fight with just the A.I., along with most of Chapter 4.

Unless you figured out a way to play multiplayer only, you too play with 'AI on'.
Thing is, maps are big, there are plenty of units, just waiting for them to move around takes time. The auto skills take time, the item use (need to get that magick leaf at round 1!) takes time, ect ect.

It's not so much of a problem in FFT for example, since often the maps are small, and you have 3-5 units, and are fighting more or less the same amount of enemies.
Here you can have 12 and might be fighting even more than that.
Yea, it's slow.

It's not the A.I. (though doing that really slows things down) It's simply the animations and walking. Just too slow, there's not a way to turn off effects, only simple and default. Granted, I guess there is a cheat engine, maybe I'll look for it since it seems there's a speed up feature, but it really should be in the default options.

Take Brigandine, it's slow by default between movement and action animations, but in the options it can be sped up and is then exceedingly 'playable' for speed. Hell, even if they had a selection like in some of the Disgaea games where for the first time an ability was used it showed the full animation, then, didn't. *shrugs* Honestly that's my only real complaint... I mean the level cap sucks, but that's due to their redoing things so there is a logic to it... unlike the crawl-like speed.

There's an option to turn on simple skills, or something, and fast forwarding already improves the speed by 2X, at least

Yes I know.
And guess what? Yup, still slow.

Then maybe you should play a game like COD, they can satisfy your lust for speed.

No need to become derogatory. You think this game's speed is fine, others don't. People can like to play a game like this and still not have the time or patience to sit through literally hundreds of battles at the speed this game provides.
