Are there bp rewards in 3rd for maxing out in SC? I'm already aware of how different the setup is for that game so I cant really see it.

I was getting tired of going back and forth between the notebook and my equipment to do orbment setups, so I made a thing to keep on the other monitor. (Status effects are on there to make the columns even. :v: )

Yes, you get a CP-auto-regen accessory for A ranking SC, or a CP-rate-increasing accessory for B rank.

Yes, early on, feel free to throw cookies at enemies. It's rather expected and is good for bursting healing assholes down.

Thanks, the death cookies did the trick. Pizza cake.

What's the highest BP you can earn in the prologue? I got +14, but I chose "The enemy" when Anelace asked who dragged the two of them out to the forest, and I was wondering if "Kurt" is the actual best answer, since...you know.

Also it took three playthroughs of the prologue for me to notice that Kurt uses the exact same attacks in the last fight. :downs:

Oh the gladiator accessories? Nice. Do you get both for A rank or just the belt?

No, they're called Seal of the Sun/Moon respectively. The gladiator items exist too, but you only get those later in the game.
I think you only get one, but I'll have to check my savegame.

i picked kurt, and anelace's answer made it sound like that was not the right choice.

When I fought him, he spent the entire battle trying to cast.

Everyone in my party could impede with Crafts, two from a distance. He never got a spell off.

It made the party's claims about barely winning ring pretty hollow.

It's nothing to worry about, just to confirm. It only affects some flavor text in the end. Nothing major at all.

I said "A third party" because the other two answers didn't make sense. Friendlies wouldn't have stripped their weapons and the enemy wouldn't have left them alone or alive. I guess I was kind of right? :shrug:

Brandish definitely doesn't gently caress around on the later levels. Later on you meet enemies that erase your map and I couldn't help but slow-clap when I got to that point because wtf.

Hmm. The most recent update seems to have broken the "select a topic" box during the Murder (... er, knockout) mystery in Ruan. It was working fine when I was last playing a few hours ago, but now I can't select choices via anything but the mouse.

I figured it was gonna be a plot thing, so I just took Kloe with me cause the other two jobs were for monster kills and I wanted my healer.

At some point during the chapter, there will be a Bracer quest about a peeping tom at the Hot Springs. Should be after the first chunk of plot.

Or just keep Olivier in your party the whole chapter.

In a case of incredible irony, I would like to report a typo.



This should be "his skill with a gun is legit."

This sentence seems familiar.

Quick thing about the magic descriptions. What does Sylpharion actually do? It is marked as "Support" but has no effect noted for it. It is either missing that or it is a damage or healing spell and should have been marked as such.

[edit] Btw Sara, are you considering trying to get a piece on localisation and PC porting up on Gamasutra? A lot of the stuff covered in the blog posts are a good fit for a Gamasutra piece.
