The Magic Seal system in Dawn of Sorrow changed

[StephanFS]

For those who are going to ask about it: it's now a Quick Time Event. They didn't remove it, they just changed it. Press buttons in order.

[Toyoch]

That change sounds good to me.
I wonder how stylus controls for other two titles are handled; Portrait of Ruin's Sisters mode and Order of Ecclesia's Albus mode.

Did they fix the luck glitch too?

[Harlod]

Thanks! I was wondering how they were going to go about this. Wish they had the option to turn it off completely, but I won’t complain about a QTE.

This.

How do ice blocks work in this version?

Not me, this sounds stupid & GAY to remove even the ability to manually be able to draw the runes. I guess I'll be getting this one on my Nintendo Switch since that version should HOPEFULLY still support manually drawing it on the Switch's touch screen. Thanks for letting us know, now I know not to waste my money on the altered Steam version & instead get the purer experience on the Nintendo Switch.

Fellas, is it gay to...adapt a hardware-bound mechanic to a port to a different platform? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Listen man, I'm the biggest defender of the original magic seal system and even I know this take is bait.

I guess it is if you're a Nintendo fan.

Man I don't know but I just beat the Flying Armor boss and all of a sudden I want to listen to Donna Summer songs nonstop.

Oh, you mean like how people who used DeSmuME in the before-fore times did it?

[Ritz]

That's a good change.

I never liked that. In theory, it's super cool, but in reality, it was frustrating. Sometimes I barely beat a boss, then tried to do the seal, got it wrong, and then had to fight the boss again.

It always felt they wanted to use the stylus in some way (as it was an early DS title), and they simply forced it in.

Another example was the blocks of ice... it was a totally useless power.

I'm glad they learned that they were not forced to use the stylus in later titles...

In fact I vaguely remember it was a Nintendo mandate at the time, or at least people assumed it was.

Nintendo and sony have both mandated using features like that in early titles. It's why the first Uncharted has those godawful sixaxis based grenade controls
