anyway i'm still slowly making my way through shallie and i didn't really appreciate them giving me three new characters and a new equipment tier all at once. obsolete gear is fine, but default gear is all but useless in these games.

i tend not to care much about the crafting until the options really open up and you can create blasphemous god-killing bombs

So I bought Atelier Ayesha because it was on sale and its pretty fun so far. One thing I'm worried about though, how strict is the time limit? I'm a few months in and only got access to bombs recently. Am I hosed if I just tool around collecting/hunting and messing with recipes or do I have plenty of time to just do whatever. I get this sense that I'm not progressing anything and I still don't really get the crafting system.

I get this sense that I'm not progressing anything and I still don't really get the crafting system. The time limit is very lenient. It's only strict if you're going for the A+Superduperbestend which is really not something designed for a first playthrough. (And it isn't a case of 'bad end' or anything, the best ending is just "you ace everything in the game" instead.)

It's not super hard to get the best end on a first playthrough even casually but what screwed me over (& will probably screw most) was missing a treasure contest

Alright thanks that's good to know. It seemed like a really chill game but even having a time limit puts me on edge so I was having a hard time just relaxing. It'll be a cool ride from here.

just remember to actually equip the stuff that makes you move/gather/etc faster or it won't do anything

There's also a very hidden map shortcut you find in the swamp (flooded area with a wailing chorus) that you need the closeted redhead with the fantastic themesong to unlock.

I look forward to the floating island. Is there any other benefits of keeping certain party members around for certain things? I only have access to 3 and it's already rough having to pick which 2 to pal around with.

Using characters builds friendship, which is needed to access their events and endings.

Sky's combat animations are pretty slow. They didn't bug me that much, but consider doing this if you want to speed up battles: Cake Attack posted:as requested, here is how to get 2x (or any x, yx if you will) battle speeds. In the first game's final dungeon, use the party members with the highest ATS and look up a map. Motto fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Charlie Bobson posted:Does anyone have any tips for playing through Trails in The Sky for the first time? So long as you don't make too many dumb choices when given dialogue options and do all the sidequests, you can hit Rank 1 pretty easily by endgame. Most Chapters have an extra Job (Side-quest) lurking somewhere. Go for a wander, and talk to everyone you meet. The S/M/L beside Jobs on the board means Short, Medium and Long. These grow shorter by main-story events, so if you see one marked as Short, chances are it'll fail if you go hit the next story event. Learn every new Recipe you can, stop and eat every meal you can buy at cafes and restaurants to learn them. Sit-Down meals are a better way to heal than burning through Arts and healing items. You generally make plenty of money, and only buy new gear the first time you hit the town of the Region for the Chapter, so you should dump a bunch of Mira to max out your stores of the basic cooking ingredients (the ones that cost like 4-10 Mira apiece). The road outside the Haken Gate in Chapter 1 is a great early source of Time, Mirage and Space Sepith to grind off. Just don't hit the baby birds with Arts. Joshua's your best bet for Set AOE arts (ones spaced manually instead of centered on an enemy). Shoot for getting him Hell Gate and then White Gehenna with his Quartz setup.

Might put you behind on sepith, but you probably get enough from chests and bosses.

Also, just doing all the optional sidequest fights will get you more than enough exp to get through the game without random encounters.
