So has anybody played the tial version that's been released on ps4 and xbox stores?

I'll be honest I'd never even heard of it till I saw it available in the store (trial version) 

Its being advertised as a anime-style "souls" game but with more characters and story and after playing it I can see why. Its published by Bandai Namco who published the souls games and while it doesn't seem as punishing yet, apparently people who played the closed beta said that was very hard and you died alot, you can see the similarities. Fo

r instance you collect "souls" when killing enemies which can be used to level up or learn new techniques. The combat is also very similar except a bit more faster paced. There is also a online element which isn't avaible on the trial version yet but is going to be soon when bandai Namco add it and an extra dungeon to play next week.

Also the character creation in awesome, had alot of fun creating my main character with loads of options and editing to do.

I played the demo. It absolute feels like anime which I love. I'm not really sure the depth to it?
There are three classes, Fighter - Ranger - Caster. Will they give you more later?
When you "max out" a skill you can unlock it and use it for any class. I like this.

But how many skills are there? I stopped probably some where in the middle to play another game. At that time I'd maxed out all the skills you "start with" and had "bought" all the skills you get from each class except the last fighter one.

I also think I'm missing a lot. I couldn't figure out how to "focus". And the only way I could figure out a drain was by R2ing them. Which seemed to be an instant kill that regained me some "gift".

It had a release date of LAST year - I'm not sure what happened. They were aiming for September 2018. Not sure what happened to delay it an entire year.

I'm not sure how many classes there are but there's more than those three as I unlocked a new one called berserker. Also when you enter focused state if you hold R1 and press triangle you'll launch the enemy and do a combo, I think that's what you mean anyway.

I've beaten it. I found it being a bit easier than "souls" games judging by this trial version which is actually a good thing. Definitely will be getting it on release. Also they announced today, that they will release update for trial version whill will let you export your character from trial version to full game which is nice for those who love to spent a lot of time on character customization.

I've not played the trial (Is it a timed thing, or can I just download it whenever?) but I know I'll be buying it anyway, since it looks amazing!

Theres no word as to whether it's timed but they're adding new content to the trial soon so there's still time to try it out, and you can import your character to main game so it's worth the time aswell.

Literally died 20+times fighting the queen final boss of the depths dungeon you access from your home base. Now that did feel very much like a souls game. Had to level up to 35 to stand a chance.

I've done everything the trial has to offer now. Levelled my character to 40 and Just waiting for the new trial content to arrive now. If anybody fancies kooking up online then lemme know. Not sure how it works yet however and it might just be random who you play with online like the Souls games.

Also I apparently missed getting the "backup" person after you lose one. So adding a second person amazingly changed the game.

Not sure what this means. Do you mean that you were assigned a CPU partner, and couldn't select a different partner until you lost your first one?
In that case, how do you go about losing that partner? And are they gone for good if you do?

What I think they mean is, there's a point in the story that you lose your partner but later on you meet somebody else ( ot sure if they're missable) however you do get the choice to reject their help or accept it. I accepted it. Later in the demo you can select a partner at the mistle their are 3 characters in this trial and all seem like they're linked to the story. Sometimes they might die but they will revive once you get to a Mistle which are bacially the Bonfires like in the souls games. 

Also just incase people didn't realise, when you speak to Louis in the base and demo says "thank you for playing" if you go back to game you can carry on and learn some more bloodcodes and also enter the "depths" which is basically the dungeons on this game and are good for levelling and getting rare materials. This is also where you can select cpu partners.

Still no word on the trial update. I'm sure it'll be later this week though maybe Thursday. Looking forward to both the new region to play through and also getting to know the multiplayer aswell, although if its like Souls games which it does seem like it is then I'm familiar already.
