After playing the demo, I love just about everything about this game. Seems like a mix between Zelda and Secret of Mana, attack feedback is great, and Very Hard seems actually balanced so far for a higher difficulty mode. Also was taken by surprise and love the magicite system, with actual meaningful effects that directly affect your gameplay.

There's just one big problem that I can't get over: the characters talking all the time. I think Elliot saying the same line over and over for charged attacks is kinda dumb, but I'm used to it for anime games. The REAL problem is your companion.

Both she and Elliot will say something LITERALLY every single time you do ANYTHING. I actually started laughing in the tutorial dungeon, because they both would say something practically over each other like "hey I think that switch did something" when the thing the switch did is right in front of your face. This is every single time anything happens.

I started laughing because it reminded me of that silly Youtube series about what OoT would be like as a "Modern Game," except it was real and right in front of me

Hey yall I was just wondering what yall were gonna purchase this game on im leaning more toward the switch 2 side but im not sure yet. Just curious on what others thought.

I just realized this is the closest I'll ever be playing something that feels like Dragon Ball Z Legacy of Goku/Buu's Fury in modern days. I love the concept and gameplay is interesting. I still haven't fought a boss fight but this game has mad potential.

My wife and I were excited to sit down and play the new demo for this but we were bummed that the fairy doesn’t seem to be anywhere in the story at the beginning. Could someone who has finished the prologue demo tell us if my wife will get a chance to join me in co-op during the prologue or do we need to wait for the actual game for that?

Edit: preferably no spoilers please!

Been playing for almost 6 hours exploring and slowly grinding magicite fragments. But I've got 8 full drops of life and 3/4 shards for a 9th, wondering if it's in this demo or not.

I've played quite a few hours of the game.

• Found the Doorway of Time
• Did quests for townfolks
• Found the Tome and the key
• Travelled back in time and followed Kaifried's trail of corpses to the ice cavern (where I'm at right now)

I was fully expecting the demo to end when I went through the ''Doorway of Time". But no, the demo keeps on giving. So has anyone already completed the demo? Where does it end?

Is there suppose to be doing anything in the extra ruins or dungeons?

Im in the forest ruins and after 5min I did the whole turn around no boss anything?

There's also a kind of desert cave in the present that you can't do anything much? and a kid of tunnel with 3 exit?

As the title asks.

Are there now two demos available? Or will my original demo simply be updated with the new one?

Square Enix has detailed on its website the changes made to the final game in response to player feedback gathered from the first Switch 2 demo.

Another preview, another website that got blown away.

Adventures of Elliot is quickly becoming the most anticipated game of the year.

As some who play from octopath1,2 and triangle strategy damn what a glow up!!!

This is easily the best evolution i seen, i kinda afraid this one will not be good because they shift up genre but i was completely wrong, Its fun to know enemy pattern the weapon is fun i like the artstyle, the story concept seem intresting its the most action adventure out there Feel like playing old Zelda and castlevania at once

The cons to me probably I play at very hard difficulty and health bar basically useless because enemy just gonna 2 tap you however i have fun figuring out the strategy still its kinda daunting especially when they took ability to heal

Cons number 2 is the price especially in my region to me while its fun they shouldn't full price this, in indonesia the price is as pricey as Pragmata or Requiem so sadly i gonna have to wait but its amazing surprise

Anyone know if this game has a world map, or if the entire game takes place on this one island?

The embargo date for previews was clearly up this morning as multiple sites are now posting preview coverage of Elliot with a unanimous opinion that this game is gonna be awesome!

We've got some RPGFan coverage pinned to the highlights and I just found this article from RPGSite.

I played the demo on switch 2 and loved it! But am curious where others are planning to buy and play it? Dunno if I should just continue adding to my steam library, or try it on the new switch 2. Please share me your thoughts!!

tldr; if you have save data from any other SE games on a given platform, AoE will grant you in-game bonuses for that same platform. List of SE games with bonuses:

since i have all of my save data from these other games on steam already, i'll personally be getting AoE on steam as well!

Hi everyone,

I recently got to spend some hands-on time with the upcoming The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, as well as have a Q&A with the game's Producer Naofumi Matsushita and I wanted to share my preview and Q&A with everyone here! As always there is both a written and a video version of this preview for your preference that go over changes since the last demo and what to expect in the game. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer any that I can, but do keep in mind there might be a few things I am not allowed to talk about still. Hope you all enjoy!
