New Game Features: |
 |
| As the picture to the right indicates,
players can now switch weapon and shield configurations from the Item
Screen by pressing the CapsLock key while fighting. This function is
also useful for preparing another bowgun if a Hunter runs out of
bullets or arrows in his/her current bowgun. Warriors can now obtain
heavy weapons that require two hands to use. The equipment change
feature can be used to swap between two-handed arms to fight weaker
enemies or to a sword and shield for enemies with higher offensive
power. Have special blacksmiths in certain towns change the color of
your equipment. |
|
Player Attributes: |
In Episode 3,
attribute Medicines can be obtained to boost player attributes.
Attributes can change up to +-10% depending on the items or medicine
used. Attribute medicines and items are also effective in boosting
player status parameters because certain parameters depend on player
attributes. For instance, if players are short on defensive power,
they could make up for it by improving their Water attribute level. A
special bonus effect can be induced if opposite attributes (like
water and fire) are both maximized.

Gambling: |
 |
| Individual playing cards (King,
Queen, etc.) from a card set are hidden throughout the world of
ShadowFlare. Once you've obtained all of the playing cards and have
reached a certain area of the game, you may find a bonus card game. By
winning the card game, you can receive rare items and multiply your
gold total. |
|
Professions: |
Once a player reaches higher
status levels in Episode 3, some of the player's status parameters may
not increase very much if he/she has been keeping the same profession.
In Episode 3, changing professions allows players to acquire new
abilities and is necessary to increase certain player
parameters. There are also advantages to keeping the same profession,
and the player can improve his/her current abilities. However, as the
charts indicate, there are differences in certain parameters when a
player raises his/her level. In Episode 3, the difficulty level is
relatively high, so players are encouraged to experiment with
professions to obtain new skills and increase status parameters.
