        I imagine that’s a design consideration.- same with Ultima and other big spells. You get a big payoff after a big wind-up. It’s trying to telegraph that if you want speed you should build your party differently using junctions

        At least there was button tapping to power up so there was SOMETHING to do during the forever animations

      You missed out on the tomb raider demo disc that came with PlayStation magazine (probably issue 73 based on the fact I have it and I wasn’t subscribed very long while demo discs were a thing) Same era.

      If you went for a swim in the pool, and swam into the side, you’d not only get a constant intense vibration, you’d also get to see her swimming motion, and I don’t think it had breath mechanics yet (or at least she wouldn’t die in the demo zone), so you could take your time. Win win.

      There was also a vibration test in the menu if you just wanted no frills.
