#Ethereal Graphic Effect Makes It Hard To Parse The Battle Board

The Ethereals change is a great idea, but not so great is the effect used to represent them. It makes it difficult to differentiate the Illuvials on the board at a glance and leads to being more reliant on the stats panels, which seems like bad UX.

Some options:

  • Showing the Illuvials as ethereal when the battle is playing out may not even be necessary. Just make it known before the user goes into the battle.
  • Have a button to toggle ethereal mode on or off
  • Use a different effect that doesn't alter the color scheme of the Illuvials.
  • Use an icon over their heads or in the panel somewhere.

The black and white on the scan popup also suffers from this issue. Its hard to tell at a glance if my team stands a good chance of winning the battle as i cant see their affinity.

Of course I can press caps to toggle the cursor and work it out that way but its nicer to have the quick gut feel

Would be cool if they could upgrade the ethereal illuvials to be colored so they could be more easily recognized.
