    Level Up Grind

    So I found it very easy to grind my team after completing the first mission "prison break" by going back in under Heroic. Fight the first encounter and after winning exit to the world map, repeat until at desired level.

    Game difficulty is pretty good without the grinding right now if you kill every enemy on each map. We'll see how hard it gets later.

    One bothering aspect is I can't change the position of each character in my party. I would like my favorite character to be closer to the screen In battle and my least favorite near the background. But no matter what order you change your party line up, their positions on the battlefield are pre-determined..

    And I also feel like the lag opening the menus is becoming more noticeable the more I play.

    For what it's worth, I'm playing using a 3rd generation iPad without any problems. Loading times are a bit slow (~8 seconds) but the game is definitely playable. I'll probably upgrade with the iPad Air 3 in Fall 2016, but I don't see any reason to upgrade before that.

    I failed to mention that it is also a quick way to get high JP and Gold along with the other items you get for crafting. A side effect that I noticed is when I am in lower levels I gain no XP now that I am LVL 20+

    Thanks for letting us know, man. I was worried about playing it on my ipad4. If it's only about loading times, shouldn't be a prob.

    As I've played more, I have noticed some sound effects in battle. They're just less than I expected. But still seem appropriate. So, it's mainly cutscenes that seem dry.

    Also, the music cues start after you have already transitioned to a new battle or menu. It might transition smoother if the music cues faded to the new one right before going to the new screen.

    Now, almost finished with the prison, and my only frustration (besides just key card fetching) is that some groups of NPCs only seem to have one dialogue chain no matter who I tap on and some have more. It's just hard to tap accurately on them. I am plying on an iPhone 6 though.

    This game is super interesting so far. I'm a big fan of the battle system, EXCEPT I struggle with knowing what all attacks do. I also feel like most bosses I have faced (4ish at this point) fall pretty easily to stun spamming + hippogriff attacks. I feel like my party doesn't really matter, except that they have enough HP to survive the devastating attacks.

    There is something cool and unique about this game. It feels minimalistic and complex at the same time. I also feel like it chucks money at your face, so even the grind for cash is low.

    I like this.

    Ok I want to apologize if this comes out rude, but this game costs a lot of money comparetivly for iOS games:

    - Sounds are missing / cut and there is mainly music playing?
    - The battle(UI) is does a clunky job in combat and a difficult job explaining stuff?
    - there are bugs which are blocking progression (for which a patch is on the way).

    Otherwise it has a nice graphic quality and vivid world.

    Please proof me wrong :)
    Wishlisted for now.

    I'm in love with this game. A few things could be tweaked and I hope you continue to update, but even as it is it's becoming one of my favorite mobiles RPGs. :)

    Adventurers of TA,

    Please find below some of the questions that have been sent our way and our team's answers:

    Q: Do you consider adding an auto save for when you enter a new area?
    A: Based on player feedback we will be working on a new save system.

    Q: Would it be possible to add a sort button for inventory? It's getting hard to look through everything.
    A: We will find a way to improve this in the future!

    Q: Just curious why choose your own server save rather than iCloud? I would have preferred iCloud.”
    A: The team will take this feedback into consideration.

    Q: Is it possible to consider for the future to add a kind of joystick for moving the griffin? Not a big deal, but I like my hand not to hide the beautiful scenery when exploring!
    A: The team will be looking into it.

    Q: Why is there no sound during cutscenes? It would add a lot to the atmosphere, even if just from Audioblocks.
    A: We might do sound effects, but we won’t ever do voice-overs, we do however encourage our most inspired players to go crazy with it!

    Q: I wish the battle attacks had impact sounds. They play a sound for attacking but there's no actual hit sound. Maybe the sound isn't strong enough?
    A: No impact sounds planned for now.

    Q: Any chance of the game showing up on some Asian countries that don't have the game yet?
    A: It will take a while for us to be able to branch out. We entertain the possibility, however for now we cannot make any promises.

    Q: I picked up some weapons, but I don't know who can use it - Could it be someone that has not yet joined my party? We need an indicator for weapons, in order to tell what can be equipped on who.
    A: In the equipment screen, the weapon will show up next to the character even if they do not meet level requirements. If you do not have the character the weapon/armour won't show up.

    Q: Any ETA on that Android version?
    A: Not yet.

    Q: Appreciate that there are different difficulty levels. Wondering about being able to replay levels because the monsters don't seem to respawn?
    A: Monsters only respawn in titan mode.

    Once again, thank you for all the feedback sent our way! We will be keeping an eye out for more interesting questions. You can always find us in our official Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey forum. (Which we won't link because it's terrible manners! :p)
