Didn't see any thread in the first few pages of hot topics, so decided to create a thread. The 2.0 update came out yesterday and I replayed a bit of it to see the changes. Game is running super smoothly and the target is much better (as you find out really quickly).

My favorite change is the link attacks. They're a lot of fun to use and it's a neat way to reward good, aggressive play.

Some of the new quests are introduced to just show you how the new things they added work, but it's definitely different to go out alone with just one party member.

I looked at a video of it yesterday and I have to say, I'm amazed. I wanted to hate this game so much, but now I see where they're trying to go with the game. It looks very smooth, real yet fantastical, it looks to be an amazing game. Haven't played it yet but I'll get around to it sooner or later.

I'm glad to hear that they've made it smoother, the previous build was rather unstable. Hopefully DF take a look at some point so we can get an idea of exactly how large the improvements are ^^.

Have there been any improvements to the IQ?

Release this demo for the common peasants Square! I don't want to touch Type-0.

The demo got some nice improvements, specially frame rate issues. First build annoyed me a lot with that, but now even more crowded combats using teleports/combos are smooth and next to zero drops.

I could totally see a demo for everyone after the release date is announced though, now that the one targeted at the core fans was deemed as amazing.

I'm assuming you're referring to the AI, which I'll have to give you an incomplete. I didn't think the AI was bad in the first place, so I may not be the best judge you want, but my party members reacted with me in order to start link attacks, so that works well.

I just saw some footage...

Here are a couple of videos that show the combat, camera, cross chains and more:

AI still needs some work and im assuming the team attacks will be upgraded and you can probably learn more.

I love the addition of dodge roll and the camera is perfect now. I cant wait til they fully develop the weapon system and be able to use magic. Along with making aerial attacks better and cleaner.
