Captain's Log #3: Battle Shortcut Keys

Hi Tacticians,

We’re back with another log - our third one!

Have you ever found it frustrating to switch weapons during battle or to move your mouse just to click "Wait"? I know I have. That’s when I remember there are shortcut keys for the battle command menu, and that’s when I’ll end up pressing the number keys to switch my weapons or "Wait".

You may have noticed the numbers next to each menu option within the battle menu. Until now, those numbers would change depending on the situation and character—sometimes "Wait" would be assigned to 3, other times to 4, or even 6. Based on your feedback, we’ve made a huge improvement in the Winter patch back in December 2024: we’ve assigned fixed keys to each menu option!

From now on, you can always press the "`" key (next to the 1 key) to "Wait" or "Defend". Likewise, switching weapons will always be done with the 4 key!

Catch you in the next one!

Captain's Log #2: Helmets On, Helmets Off

Hi Tacticians,

Happy New Year! I'm back for log #2!

In Lost Eidolons, we worked hard to ensure the playable characters' faces are very visible during battles and even in close-up combat scenes. But then some players asked, "Isn't it strange for characters not to be wearing helmets during battle?" And I learned that many players prefer characters wearing helmets for realism.
So, as we started working on Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, I made a firm decision to include the helmet option this time. And now, in the character information window, you’ll find a Helmet ON/OFF option in the upper-left corner of the character illustration.

When this option is enabled, you can see the 3D character wearing a helmet or hood during battles and event maps!

In the next game, we’d love to create a foundation where players can edit helmets and appearances directly or indirectly. Stay tuned!

See you in the next one!

A Year to Remember

Captain's Log #1: Changing Character Names

Hello Tacticians,

Welcome to a new series of logs where I highlight some details of Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. These might not be game-changing features, but I hope they add to your experience—especially since many of them are rooted in your feedback.

In this first log, I’d like to talk about character creation options.
For those of you who played the original Lost Eidolons, you’ll remember the protagonist was Eden. The game followed his story, and he was designed to fit my vision for the character. This meant Eden wasn’t customizable. However, many of you shared feedback that you wanted the ability to change his name, gender, and appearance. Thinking about games like Elden Ring and Fire Emblem, I’ve always found the ability to customize the protagonist’s name, gender, and appearance to be very appealing as well.
That’s why, from the very early planning stages of Veil of the Witch, I wanted to include these customization options. Of course, I wanted to offer even more, but with limited resources and budget, some of the more extensive features had to be set aside for a future game.

Even so, I thought it would be great to let players change the names of other playable characters, not just the main character. This idea came from my experience streaming XCOM 2. While playing, I renamed characters after friends who were watching, and it made the experience so much more immersive and personal.

In Veil of the Witch, you can change a character’s name by opening the character information screen and either pressing the T key or clicking the T key icon below the character illustration!

I can’t help but imagine how exciting it would be if, in the next game, we could let players fully customize everything about the main character—from their face to their appearance and more!

See you in the next one!
