and some that seems wrong (I leveled up and my across the board weapon damage went down?). I'm still curious about this. I think the only way this could have happened is if you did something like equip the Safety Ring (it lowers attack to raise defense).

I give you my perspective: i started with the IGA games on the GBA with Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. In fact, it was the first game where i had to manage RPG elements like stats and leveling up. The game gave me an useful manual to give me a chance to learn these things. Without these i would not have a clue to these things. I purchases every 2D Igavania games since then. I backed for the Grimoire edition and had to beg someone with a Credit Card so he can pledge for me, Credit Cards are not very common in my country. I love this genre and want others to have a chance to fall in love with it like i did. Why are you agains a explanation for new players? Is there any harm? Previous games gave ALL players the change to understand the game. Bloodstained: RotN is not weloming for gamers that have never experinced these type of games. The manula in game is useless, the official site for the game is useless if you search for a manual or explanations, new players who find this forum and ask for help gets this toxic answers and the community is not welcoming to new players. This franchise needs new players to have a future. I just fired up my Switch to check it's place in the eshop charts. #14. Not great. It also does not set the Steam charts on fire. It may be an Kickstarter success but it does not sell well. I believe this will be the last we see from this new franchise. 505 Games will not publishg a sequel. The publishers were right, gamers of today do not want this games.
All it takes is a freaking manual site with the freaking explanation for new players. There is no harm about it. The game, the bublisher and the fanbase must be welcoming to new players or this is the end for this franchise. We already seeing that it does not garner new players, it does not sell well.
Are you really ok with this? Only garnering to vetarans will be the end of this new franchise because...this group of people only will shrink over time. We need new blood, new fans, new players.
Why the heck are you against it? Just freaking ignore the manual/help text IF there would be any. And the loding screen help textes are useless, the game loads so fast on my PC that i have only 1-2 seconds to scroll trought them and also try to read em.
After the ressurection of IGAvania it looks like i see the death of it again. And the fanbase is playing a part in it. This makes me sad. Newcomers are asking for help and the community(which already isn't really that big here) is being elititst.
And before you ask: yes it REALLLY is bothering me. Thes Switch version being bad, it not selling well and now this unwelcoming aura that is sorrounding the game...it is just all so frustrating. And now we also talk down understandable crtiticism about the lack of documentation IN GAME. A usable manual in game is the norm today ffs.
We the community are pretty much the only ones left to welcome newcomers and spread the love for this game because it sure seems nobody elso is dong it.
Please let us not botcher the chnace we get here to be welcoming to the few and maybe new fans if IGAvanias. We sure need them.

Not just the books but the start up load screens also give explanations of what each stat does. The load screens giving explanations is actually a problem for PC users with SSDs. Loading is literally done in a second and a half which gives barely any time to read them, lol. Even on PS4 the tips screen is useless. It doesn't let you scroll until it's loaded past a certain point, and then the game's loaded.

yeah, i tried to scroll throught them as fast as i could to get an idea what INT or MND does but when i get to them...the game already loaded. Why are these screens not included in the in game manual? Was this an oversight? Can this please be patched in? Would be really helpful to be able to read em.

legromancer you're right, the game should explain the stats. I can't remember ever seeing an explanation in any of the Igavanias, and I've played all of them. If you read between the lines you can figure it out by the way the stats are arranged on the page, but it should just be in the compendium.

What’s this I’m reading? Food buffs are permanent? This for real? I haven’t eaten any food yet because I don’t have ingredients to cook anything yet but are they really permanent???

Yep, just the initial use though. So I should eat at least one of as many types of food once then? Got it. I seriously would’ve never known you could get permanent stat boosts for food eating. That’s usually not how things go in RPGs. Its almost always temporary buffs.

Perhaps he attacked a demon that was more resistant to the weapon he's using so he mistakenly believed he got weaker.

Johannes does explain this at the beginning of the game, but he only says it once, and he says it as one of many tidbits of information that might be too much to take in all at once.

My issue is the 99 item limit, going back and fourth grinding Alkahest is a pain, would have been nice if the giants area had a giant ghost that drops at least x5 Alkahest like normal ghosts used to.

That isn't an issue when you can buy them from the store. Farming gold when you get Augment Gold ability becomes very easy. Like maybe like 2 million gold every half hour depending on the location?

I had no clue that was possible, makes sense now I still wished their were systems to make money from the shop by buying low using alchemy then selling for a profit. But that is more personal taste.

Alkahest is clearly overpriced. Also the droprate for flying beef is too low. I love this game so much I can only nitpick

I've been getting alkahest drops like crazy, I can't remember what was dropping though. Maybe those frog things?

What do the symbols meanu? what is "coverage"? How do stats work? THIS GAME NEEDS AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THINGS WORK!!!! As I recall, there's a journal (possibly it was two journals) early in the game that answer these questions. Have you been reading the bookshelves?
