RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

As Dragon’s Crown inches toward its August 6 release date, Atlus and VanillaWare have revealed still more details:

• As previously mentioned, you’ll have an AI-controlled partner in the form of a rogue, Rannie, who handles treasure chests and locked doors. A fairy named Tiki will also serve as navigational support, hopefully with as little “HEY! LISTEN!” as possible.
• Characters will be customizable to some degree, with players picking their color, voice, and messages for various events (greeting, selection, dying, etc.)
• You’ll earn skill points upon leveling up, which can be spent on either class skills (those unique to your character) or common skills (which anyone can learn). For instance, Gold Healing is a common skill that restores HP when you collect money.
• Exploring dungeons may trigger certain events, such as meeting new characters.
