Some quick PC tidbits for Ayesha. I did get 4K supersampling working by creating a custom 3840x2400 desktop resolution in Nvidia Control Panel (I have a 16:10 display, hence the odd 4K resolution) and changing Ayesha's INI file to 3840x2160, but it doesn't seem as smooth as I'd expect ("4K" on the left, 1080p on the right):
Character shadows are also weird in these screenshots but that seems to be an intermittent issue maybe? Or at least, I saw a cutscene with Wilbell that had both crappy pixelated shadows and ones correctly shaped to the character.
There's also some kind of weird corruption going on after running the game for a bit, something like alpha transparency not working right on certain elements:
Based on the screenshots zoku88 posted of Shallie, I'm going to guess these are issues specific to Ayesha and probably has to do with the game being on an older engine. I think Escha & Logy was the first game to use Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors engine, so hopefully it's just Ayesha that has these issues. Maybe someone will figure out how to get some proper anti-aliasing working?
Now that it's the weekend, I can finally put some time in Escha & Logy. I started with Escha but I'm very curious how Logy's side of things are. Does he use the same crafting system? I haven't played this since launch years ago and didn't get very far thanks to FFXIV raiding consuming all my game time.
I also haven't played it since the original PS3 release, but if I remember correctly the way it works is that Escha does all the traditional synthesis while Logy handles improving weapons and armor. I think you have access to both types of synthesis no matter which character you play as, and don't recall significant gameplay differences depending on which protagonist you choose, but like I said it's been a while.
