Ubisoft's new JRPG "Child of Light"

According to the writer, several things were planned but ultimately cut, including a final dungeon. The Confessions set up for a new game.

That's probably why I felt like that ending was rushed, then. Anyway, if they end up actually making more games and expanding the lore… I certainly wouldn't mind.

I wish we'd seen more of Cordelia. She was so out of focus I forgot her name for a while.

She's only there for about two scenes and she has maybe five lines or so, so yeah, she wasn't exactly there much. Hasn't stopped me from occasionally trying to sketch out her hair from memory.

For the person updating the character pages, here are images of Cordelia, Norah, and Umbra, and Young Aurora.

More evidence that parts of the game was cut:

If you get to the final boss, run from her, then beat her, a new area called "Palace of Lemuria" opens up from the map of Lemuria. 0 stardusts and 0 coffers, no enemies, no way back (other than via map travel). Basically a Dummied Out area.

It happens on PS 3, not sure if it does on other consoles.

I don't remember seeing that on my PC version, but I can check when I get through my new game+.

You can run from bosses?

So this is coming out for the PS Vita.

Seems like it may be an Updated Re-release of sorts, considering that there's a new/updated enemy at 1:05 of the trailer (that blue thing appearing along with the stone griffin). If that's the case I hope they polish up the ending of the game.

Bought it, playing it, just saved Magna from the infestation of spiders in her heart and completed the side quests of turning the apple to gold and locating the flying pig, Achilles.

It's really good so far! I thought the rhyming thing would get annoying, but the characters have a lot of charm and it's really good so far. Now to head to the Cliffs of Erin and find a Moon. Or a Sun. I've forgotten which one.

I do know that Norah seems to be acting like a jerk to my entire party (mainly Robert. :/), though, and the Golem is really useful, considering he's DLC.

Also, good combo once you've got Aurora to get 'Slash (All)' is to team her up with Robert and just hit all of the enemies simultaneously on a sort of endlessly slow spam attack.

Holy hell bunnies, 4 year necro:

Sequel teased during announcement of Switch port.

I'm excited for a sequel, but a little sad at the port cause my Wii U is practically a paperweight at this point. If they port Super Mario 3D World the only reason I have to keep it will be gone.

Today's the last day to grab the game for free...if you have a Uplay account.

I only have a Steam account, so is this game worth grabbing a Uplay account and linking it to my Steam one?

Having just finished it, it's a very good game, but fairly short, especially by RPG standards. I'd say the regular asking price of 20$ is already worth it, though I suppose it depends on how much you like JRPGs

My favorite things about it are the graphics, music and poetry. <3 Do you know if the updated version has a proper final dungeon?

Noooooooope. Straight from Nox to Umbra. This is my biggest complaint about the game, after it's attempts at poetry

Aww, I was hoping they'd add the cut final dungeon XD;
