I still remember earlier when I said you are occasionally given experience cards as quest rewards? This is where those become handy. Stockpile them, and if you need to boost your family members in base level you just need to eat the cards like candy. So what importance dose base level have compared to stance level? Well, for starters, all equipment is locked to level pre-requisite. As a result, it will not really matter if you have excellent stance skills if you are wearing a canvas sack of Sword of the New World Vis and monsters can kill you with a dirty look. It is a quasi-overwrought system that takes some getting used to but feels elegant and comfortable once you have.

  One interesting thing I noticed while dabbling in this beta is the option to let the game play itself. If you so desire, you can get right in to the guts of the action, but there are also options that allow you to just slick a blanket control option and let the game take care of itself. For example, you can click a Sword of the New World Gold button in your interface and then click on an area in the distance from where your group is. Your avatars will then travel to that spot, attacking anything they encounter along the way. You can also set commands to loot everything on the ground in the exact same manner you set the assault mode, so you can just run a gauntlet killing everything and then run right back picking up all the Sword of the New World money dropped from the initial run. You involvement in the entire process is minimal. serving mostly to just make sure the AI has not tripped up on itself. Is this system good, or is it sanctioned boot play? That is a matter of perspective really, but I found it interesting that the option is even available. Sword of the new world has an exceptionally vibrant visual style. If I had to boil it all down to one word, that word would be opulent. Never mind that the setting itself, Victorian-era old Europe, was rife with decadent detail-try mixing that with Asian flair for anime-exaggeration and you should hopefully have at least somewhat of an idea why I am try to get cheap snw vis. I have seen some people in game bring up comparisons to final fantasy, but as I have never dabbled in that franchise I can not confirm their veracity. Personally, the graphics make me think to buy vis. I will play the game long time.
