Thoughts on Libra of Souls mode

[Ghosttown]

I am playing SC6 for several hours now and I have to say, I really like the LoS mode. Bandai put lots of effort and love into it, creating a long lasting story with your very own character, including a few choices, influencing the progress. It's just sad they did use in-game cut scenes so rarely (actually I only remember Geralt).

Collecting stuff, levelling up your Soul and following a nice story. Thumbs up.

Would be way cooler if you could unlock CaS Items with it..... they missed a really good feature there >.<

It's really fun! Remember to backup your save, though. The game tends to crash while auto-saving. Lost hours of progress thanks to that

True. So far I did not find anything to unlock further items, is there anything either? In it's predecessor you could unlock tons of stuff just by progress.

That's a shame :(. Did not have crashes so far, just frame drops when playing via Steam Link.

Not everyone likes when some essential stuff is locked. CaS parts are essential, IMHO, and it's better to have all of them from the beginning unlocked. We just need more parts.

CHECK!

LoS is actually really fun. I almost stopped playing it after the 3rd 'slippery stage' in a row, as It seemed just silly, gimmicky and overall shallow.

Sure it might not be the deepest fighting RPG of 2018, but entertaining enough to run trough a second time. It gives a lot of bad habits, and an odd way to see weapon damage compared to the normal game.

I really like that they added a 'real' storymode to the game.
Those are rare these days in fighting-games.

Locking out more then titles would get the hardcore pure online crowd start yelling.. but about what? ..as most of them claim to hate all CaS things anyway, getting even close to ranked mode.

Some complained that you have to unlock Inferno in Singleplayer..
Well what do they need him for, as he's only usable in singleplayer anyway?

I think the unlocking in LoS, tied to just LoS mode, is a good compromise (even if I wouldn't be sad over 100000 more parts added for CaS over time, or even as soon as posible)

Played it for 40 minutes and kept yawning, too much reading and not enough fighting

I liked it, personally. It's a great way to get you familar with each character's fighting style and completing missions feels satisfying in a way, I guess.

[zachillios]

I like it, wish there was a way to upgrade your weapons in terms of slots and attack power. It's good, not as good as Weapons Master in my opinion.

I haven't done it yet, i'll get to it once online starts to dwindle.
Also kinda wanna port one of my CAS from main creation, which isn't allowed i guess?

[Garble]

Unfortunately the only way to be able to play a CaS is to recreate them from scratch. There's not too much stuff to duplicate though, there's only a couple screens you need to get the list of numbers from but for the most part it's a fairly quick process with the coordinates for body shape, colors, patterns, stickers, and equipments. Still annoying but it doesn't take too long.

Overall I like it too though I hope the AI gets updated to be both less cheesy and less exploitable. As new stages, CaS parts, styles etc. get added I hope they get incorporated into Libra as well.

Yepp, I missed some more stages as well. Especially for the story mode LoS it's sad the stages are so recussing and often do not fit the cities your character is currently in. Not to mention parts and stuff, unlocking items by gaming is one of my biggest motivators to play on.

[ShadowSplit]

Given I only use a single character throughout the series, the Weapon Master I see as superior mode in every way. LoS is just a good way to waste some time by farming coins. Not to mention obnoxious character with constant soul charge, life steal or what's worse being Kilik or Azwel.
