Baby Babbeh posted:IIRC you can gently caress yourself over if you put like 20 levels into a magic class and then try to spec into wizard Nah, even then. Especially with the Dark Arisen gear, you could do 200 levels as an Assassin then switch to Sorcerer and not be really any worse for wear. Min-maxing is really not a concern. Play what you want!

Not that anyone here probably cares too much but the last English video I saw of SO5 made me curious and I was hanging out on the SO5 Gamefaqs boards to see if I could learn some stuff about the game from people playing the Japanese version. Granted, Gamefaqs message boards so take with grain of salt, but something like half of SO5's OST is reused SO3 and SO4 tracks. That's kind of saddening to me. I said not too long ago that the default fallback position for most JRPGs is "at least the music is good." I liked the music in SO3 and 4 well enough but reusing that many songs just makes me figure they probably skimped out on the music entirely for this game.

Nihilarian posted:the very last class I tried turned out to be my favorite, the Magick Archer. IIRC, as the game went on, all the fights got really drawn out, because it turns out the MA has a pretty defensive stat growth, and it really impacted my enjoyment of the game. I don't remember any Dark Arisen gear that really helped, but I guess I may never have gotten any of the really good gear. I had a hard time fixing the character, because the growth rates after ... Level 100? Get reduced by a lot When I played the PC version I did Strider for a bit then went to MA and aside from a few fights, obliterated everything. Hunter Arrow and Ricochet Shot brutally destroy Dark Arisen in general and Explosive Rivet is also super good. Knowing when to swap between Staff and Daggers (especially if you have one of your dagger moves set to the MATK buff) is incredibly useful. I think the only thing I had real trouble with was the Drake but I was doing that way too early anyway.

SO5 didn't get as big of a budget as the other games, so I guess that means the soundtrack didn't get as much attention. Aren't some of the battle songs pre-order dlc, though?

Mill Village posted:SO5 didn't get as big of a budget as the other games, so I guess that means the soundtrack didn't get as much attention. Well the Collector's Edition includes "Six background battle music themes from Valkyrie Profile, Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria and previous Star Ocean titles that fans can play during battle" So I guess so. Ya know, the more I think on it, the more I'm tempted to buy this game, maybe even the Collector's Edition. Thing is, even if this game is total garbage, I really respect SE or tri-Ace or whoever for getting their poo poo together. I've paid no attention to this game up until a few days ago but I have still heard a lot about it the passed several months. They've done a really good job of creating awareness, marketing and that kind of thing. If this game bombs, it will not be due to lack of advertisement. They've done about all they can to hype it up. I even heard they had a simultaneous localization done for it, like NieR. Dunno if that's true or not but it be cool. I wonder who's localization it anyway. 8-4 did the last game.

Almost everything about S05 is basically SO3 redux, a game you hate-gently caress at every opportunity or mention of it

Tae posted:Almost everything about S05 is basically SO3 redux, a game you hate-gently caress at every opportunity or mention of it You're right, I do bitch about SO3 a lot. But three big differences I know of that might help me like SO5 are: 1. It's not even half as long as 3. 2. The voice-acting isn't even half as bad as 3's. 3. The whole full party battle system is intriguing, even if it ends up making the combat kind of shallow If nothing else, it will be a very brief bit of blandness, as compared to a huge slog of awfulness. But I'm just thinking out loud, really. I probably won't even be able to afford the Collector's Edition, anyway. I got other commitments at the moment. It's just that, a poster on Gamefaqs said this game might be disappointing but it's just a "setback." And I thought "wait, isn't this the test case to try and revive the SO series?" And I felt kinda bad thinking about how I hoped it would crash and burn. I suppose my buying/not buying doesn't really matter. It it does well here or not, that's up to everyone else. To be honest, after I go to bed and wake up, my charitable demeanor will probably have faded away to nothing and I'll be like "gently caress this game' again.

psudonym55 posted:If I had never played an Atelier game before which one is a good one to start with? I'd say Escha and Logy as well if you're still wondering. Meruru is my favourite but part of that is it building on stuff from Rorona and Totori to cap off that trilogy. Escha and Logy has a lot of QoL improvements and a much better combat system, definitely the best entry point. If you like it enough to want more jump back to the plus versions of the Arland games though.

I can see the appeal of Assassin in Dragons Dogma, but I'm just not feeling it yet. It definitely shines when climbing large monsters and attacking weak points, but Warrior just seems superior in places like the Catacombs. Granted, I don't see any increased mobility at lower vocation levels so maybe that's the issue. I'm going to try to max the vocation before I switch again (if I do). Maybe I just "get" the whole swinging a fuckoff huge sword thing.

If you mean chievos then you'll probably need the grade shop for some of them and that's a second play through. The less than a minute kill chievo is one I am thinking of.

Besides that, yeah, you can do everything on one run. It isn't as bad about it as a lot of games but there are some missable sidequests, and some of the triggers can be obscure, so you'll want a guide.

Maybe I just "get" the whole swinging a fuckoff huge sword thing. Assassin really shines with a sword and the counter move. If you're good with the timing you can just one shot normal sized enemies left and right while not being touched. They are kind of a glass cannon class though — you want to be picking guys off and targeting weak points when monsters are distracted rather than wading into the fray the way you do as a warrior.

Strider gets the best DPS move in the game with that spinning body saw move. Most of their strength is maximizing your dps with instant reset.

I know the game is obviously incomplete in some ways but I really enjoyed it minus any boss fights that lacked weaknesses. it feels like it's on rails, and the boss fights with no weakness suck definitely, but I think taken as a sum of its parts it is an above average tales of game and a middling to fair jrpg. that's OK and I like it. just finished the plague town, so his opinion is subject to change

I picked up Escha and Logy on the vita. I'm presuming you increase your combat ability from crafting more than by leveling up? Level ups don't seem to make the characters that much stronger. Mostly just been throwing explosives at things.
