File:Mitsumete Knight R - Gameplay sample World Travelling, & Special Event Samples

説明
Gameplay sample showing World Travelling sequences, as well as a Special Event, in the game Mitsumete Knight R : Daibouken Hen, on Playstation 1.

One of the nicest touches in Mitsumete Knight R are definitely the World Travelling sequences, IMO. When you travel for the first time from a place to another, a sequence where you and your two partners will walk towards the new place will activate. During this travel, enemy squirmshes can occur, and your partners can also stop and ask you some questions. You get Relationship Values by answering to these questions. The questions not only affect the partner who asked it, but also the other partner, depending if they get along with each other or not, or if both are in love with you (thus jealousy will factor in), or both. Expect catfights between the two partners to occur if you're not careful and favour one of them without using diplomacy !

Please pay attention to the girl's walking animations in those sequences. Kudos should be given to the programmers, as, thanks to little details in animations, such as the wobbling of the hair, you really get the feeling the characters are either walking (in the first sequence with Sophia and Lesley), or are riding a camel (in the second one with Sophia and Linda).

Since a few fights occur during those travelling sequences, you also get to see a little of the Battle System. It's a classic system, a bit reminiscent of the one in Lunar Silver Star Story : you have regular and Special Attacks, Special Attacks being divided between those which Power-up your chars, those which use special Sword Skills (MacLeod's Horizontal and Vertical Special Slashes skills remind me a lot of Alex's Sword Dance, as well as his power-up move), and those which are pure offensive Magic.

In this video as well as the "Rescue Partner" one (which will be uploaded later), I'll try to show you a few Special Skills so you see how good their animations look. You'll note that Lesley's Meteor Shower magic (actually called "La-Flare") causes slight animation lag ; this is the exception, as all the other magics with heavy animation I've seen do not cause slow down.

Finally, near the end of the video, you'll be able to see one of the numerous Special Events in this game. This one is triggered if you bought your partners' respective standard swimsuit beforehand (well, the CGs where you see them playing in the water that is).

There are actually two kind of Special Events : the more standard ones such as this one, and those dubbed "Dates", which actually are more akin to Star Ocean 2's Private Actions than to dates in Tokimemo or Mitsumete Knight, and which can be activated if you sleep for the night at an inn in different rooms (you have the option to sleep either immediately or for the whole night, and either all three in the same room or in different rooms). I'll come back to those Dates Special Events in a future video (which will come much later, as I don't have recorded footage for this for the time being).

Enjoy the vid ! :)
