It's like a real RPG now!! There's actually EXP in it!!
There's still no random encounters so no explicit grinding (There will be a place in New Pax where you CAN grind if you wanna, but we'll get to that later!) I've found that it's a lot more satisfying to see numbers go up over time as opposed to one line of text saying "You leveled up" every time you beat a kind of important enemy.
And with every level up, you'll get an Upgrade Crystal, which can be used at any time to get a fun level up screen with a choice to permanently upgrade HP or MP by 5! (This is another big Paper Mario inspiration haha.)
This is probably my favorite change from the whole overhaul, the whole level up system feels a lot more satisfying and customizable now!
Next post will be a very simple one, talking about items!
