'''Variety in combat''' is essential, both within fights and also throughout the game. Unlocking new moves over the course of the game doesn’t always make sense when your character is experienced from the start. We could introduce new Daodan abilities over the game, but that makes game replays annoying for the player who was used to having all the end-of-game abilities. We can either take the simple approach and offer a New Game Plus, or else we can give the player most of their abilities up front and try to create changing environments or sets of enemies over time that require different kinds of skills to be put into play. All this being said, new content over time is probably less important than just making sure that the basic mechanics are fun enough that the player still enjoys them after dozens of hours.<br /> | '''Variety in combat''' is essential, both within fights and also throughout the game.

'''Special attacks''' can end with a cool flourish, unlike regular animations. But if the character misses with such an attack, or there are other enemies around, they shouldn’t do the flourish.<br /> | '''Special attacks''' can end with a cool flourish, unlike regular animations.
