Real time

[Archaven]

It's been awhile i'm away as been pretty busy with work and personal life. I saw previous update that there's this real time. I really like the idea of this real time battle. My question is, it's possible to complete the game on real time without paused in potd?

 

Is it micro heavy? Is it even possible without micro at all? I'm fine with some micro but anyone can share their spell/abilities hotkey setup?

Looking forward for realtime playthrough.

 

Thanks!

I think you're referring to Magran's challenge in the secret menu, the magran looking face below all the options in the main game screen.  The challenge is basically you can't slow down or pause the game, which I guess plays to "realtime", but you can still get around this to take a breather by going to the game menu, character sheet, etc.  It's totally doable since I've done it and I'm sure others have as well.

 

If you practice a faster speed in regular mode prior, i found it not too bad since the normal game speed is pretty lenient after getting used to it and it pretty much plays like an RTS game, but targeting and selecting can be a bit annoying especially in situations when having to stop your characters with a LOT of stride from running all over the place and getting disengage attacked everywhere.  A lot of times I find myself playing in speeded up mode anyway so if you're used to a lot of speeded battles it might not matter much except in the cases where you are setting up your queue of commands in critical moments (eg. beginning of battle, big boss damage, etc. ).
