I'm not sure if it made for a more enjoyable experience tbqh. Mallow: I have to admit losing early game thunderbolt made things a lot tougher early on, ESPECIALLY the Kero Sewers. He has very affordable magic attack and a variety of elemental attacks to choose from. Mario: I kind of wish I had invested in his Magic at level up rather than attack. I made it to Yardovich now and the dude is kicking my ass. I also love the creative use of the unique items within the game now. The renewed focus on elemental weaknesses is also great to see. I love the renewed emphasis on elemental attacks and the appearances of the Axem Rangers in early parts of the game. Got it! An in game hint is probably not a bad idea there cause it comes out of no where with no warningĬontent mode so far, truly amazing the years of work are showing in spades. You also don't have to be anywhere near max level to beat Smithy. You can still fight a bunch of superbosses before Smithy if you want to (including General Guy), and you can fight them in whatever order you want after Smithy (although there's a recommended order). With them locked behind Smithy, this can't happen anymore. There have been complaints in the past about running into these superbosses and just dying. We want Smithy to be an important fight, so he's now the gateway to the superbosses (and is balanced accordingly). In previous versions, you could trivialize Smithy simply by farming the right equipment from the available superbosses. The non-Mario bosses are almost all hidden until after Smithy has been defeated. This is Super Mario RPG, not Super Fantasy Pokemon RPG. Regarding the superbosses, most of them are locked behind Smithy. DK is planning to come up with a list of all the major differences at a later date. There's a couple of late-game balance tweaks as well. In general, enemies in content mode deal significantly less damage and take slightly more damage. Is there a reason for specifically locking content like this to be strictly post-game? It feels so good to beat a boss earlier than you're supposed to, but I cant even get into ice cave in v9. Are those bosses unlocked after beating Smithy? I just remember beating the ice cave way earlier than I was supposed to in a previous version, and I loved doing that. I'm asking mainly because I've been playing on the previous public release of v9, and I noticed that I'm not running into any superbosses during the main game like I did in previous versions. But will all three modes have the same amount of bosses and late-game content? What exactly are the differences between the versions? I briefly tested content mode, and I saw that numbers were significantly reduced to be more in-line with vanilla.
