Crystal Presets
We are preparing to reorganize the crystal equipping system. You can now equip crystals more comfortably in the newly created crystal-equipping UI, rather than by inserting them into equipment. In addition, this crystal-equipping UI includes a preset function, so you can quickly change to the setting you want according to the situation.
▲ Modified preset and a family-based function.
Currently, the development of the crystal preset system is almost complete, but originally this function was prepared as ‘character-based’. Even if you set all the settings for character A, character B is to be set up separately. As the original system is character-based, the intention was to bring the new system character-based as well, but when I actually made a preset system and did a playtest myself… It was definitely a bit disappointing to be character-based. Therefore, we are currently working on changing the modification preset system to ‘family-based’. Once set, any character can apply the effect immediately and use it. I wanted to show it through the lab as much as possible today, but I ask for your understanding that a little more work is needed due to additional work. Let’s finish it well so that it can be useful. thank you
