Planned Adjustments/Improvements

Overall Policy/Approach to Game Adjustments

The following points received the most feedback in the Alpha Demo survey, so we will prioritize improving these points for the full game.

Action

We will improve the complex inputs and timing windows for Insight Skills, and rebalance Spirit gain/loss to create combat that encourages more proactive play.

Optimization

To address issues such as unstable frame rate, crashes, and long load times, we will optimize rendering and loading processes.

Graphics

We will optimize rendering and textures, and adjust lighting and effects to improve graphics quality and visibility during gameplay.


Detailed plans for the above points and other points are as follows.

Main Planned Improvements

Player Actions

  • Unify the Insight Jump and Insight Aerial Skill responses to Critical Blows so that the resulting action changes based on the enemy's state.
  • Widen the timing windows for successfully landing Deflects and Insight Skills.
  • Make adjustments so that successfully performing an Insight Skill restores more Spirit.
  • Add skills and special effects that reduce the Spirit cost of your next action after successfully performing an Insight Skill.
  • Make adjustments so that you can perform a Fatal Strike on an enemy in Spirit Disruption via a successful Insight Skill, even if they are no longer nearby.
  • Improve the homing performance of the Insight Jump toward locked-on targets.
  • Improve the hit range and homing performance of aerial attacks, making it easier to hit airborne enemies.
  • Increase the amount by which Strong Attacks and Martial Arts reduce the enemy's maximum Spirit gauge.
  • Add a skill that preserves your Quick Attack combo count when you successfully perform a Deflect or Insight Skill.
  • Increase the Spirit damage dealt by Strong Attacks based on how many Quick Attack hits preceded them.
  • Review Wizardry Spells with limited uses, and improve the performance of those spells.
  • Add Wizardry Spells that can be cast while airborne.
  • Adjust the performance balance of Divine Beast Manifestation.
  • Add a Warrior Dispatch and equipment special effect that gives a chance to restore Wizardry Spell uses when defeating an enemy.
  • Add the ability to switch weapons while airborne.
  • Widen the window during which item use and Wizardry Spells can be canceled.

Enemy Actions

  • Improve the visibility of the telegraph effect for Critical Blows.
  • Adjust airborne enemies (such as Yayu and Feitouman) so they no longer move to heights or areas where attacks can't reach them.
  • Improve the behavior when enemies return to their original position after leaving the combat area.

Optimization

  • Stabilize frame rate through optimization.
  • Shorten load times for Fast Travel and retries.
  • Improve model pop-in during battles, field traversal, and other situations.

Graphics

  • Improve model texture quality through optimization, and enhance the visual fidelity of distant models.
  • Improve overall lighting quality, particularly indoors and in dark areas.
  • Improve visibility by adjusting the brightness of Demonic Qi and fire effects.

Controls/Camera

  • Add customization options to gamepad configuration.
  • Improve the keyboard key configuration so Shift-related inputs can be customized individually.
  • Fix a bug where certain inputs were not being registered.
  • Adjust camera behavior during lock-on to make it easier to see enemy movement.
  • Adjust the camera so it no longer sways heavily from side to side during aerial combat or aerial actions.
  • Improve lock-on target detection so that switching lock-on targets selects the intended enemy more reliably.

Level Design/Field

  • Increase HP and Spirit damage dealt to high-Morale enemies.
  • Review elevation changes and terrain width in the field to improve clarity around inaccessible areas and ledges.
  • Adjust the flow so that dying inside the Phantom Realm lets you restart from within the Phantom Realm.
  • Reorganize the placement of stage models and effects to better guide players along the intended route.

Tutorial

  • Add reminders for each tutorial at relevant points in the field.

  • Make various other balance improvements to numerical values.

UI

  • Make the activation icons for stacking effects (such as stagger and status ailments) easier to see.
  • Improve icon size and equipment slot visibility across various screens.
  • Improve the map so you can zoom out further.
  • Improve the map to show the number of exploration elements in each region and how many you've collected.
  • Add a feature that shows any missed elements on the map after clearing a battlefield.
  • Expand the display range of the compass and improve the visibility of elevation icons for displayed objects.
  • Make various other interface and usability improvements.
