If you have more than I think 256 accessories it will just silently vaporize any new ones you pick up instead of warning you. It's very easy to hit the limit when you're smashing with gold chips and you could be farming some item and never actually get it in your inventory unless you actually sort thru and sell stuff frequently

i always thought esmeralda had the most wonderfully arcane spells and particle effects. and those weird Elly's Vierge arts that were called "AERODS" or whatever were also really cool and mysterious seeming. Xenogears lore is top notch. I bought and then lost that 300 page book about the religion, culture and geography of the world called "Perfect Works" and it owned so hard.

big deal

xenogears is cool.

I want to play more of this game because i'm interested in where the plot and combat mechanics will go and I paid $60 but it feels like I'm sort of slogging through it without even having 3 blade slots unlocked yet. like I can do all these special chains except i can't because my characters all have 1 or 2 blades. should I grind to advance story stuff or should I juggle equipment and blade stuff and try to beat these plot guys at the level i'm at. or should I give up because I don't actually have the patience for this type of game. $60 though

force the plot along until you unlock stuff, 2 blades is no good

I got to chapter 5 quickly because of this. You don't get all your abilities or party members until you advance further in the story, and the story keeps doing poo poo like "Now you can't use the blade you spent all game using at all" except it carries over into the sidequest stuff. Like I have no idea when I'm actually supposed to do sidequests

Chapter 5 felt like the first time I could do what I wanted fully except I still don't have my full party

I've put like 35 hours in but I can't actually decide if I like this game or not

I can say that it feels fuckin great getting 3 blade slots unlocked at the befinning of chapter 4. I still want my full party though

I'm just a bit further, I have no idea why (chapter 3 ending) a giant robot face appeared on screen right before Mythra woke up but I'm very excited to find out.

From spoilers I know that Poppi gets different forms later -- when she does , does it just work like an upgrade or can I like switch between them during combat as if they were different blades? I like her but I really don't like only having access to one element during combat. If it doesn't work the latter way I probably won't bother doing Tiger Tiger and upgrading her

it works like other blades and you can change the elements

I love the combat in this game but it's also making me look forward even more to Octopath Traveller because I want a Switch RPG a la Bravely Default that I can just mindlessly grind in while watching TV lol

Unlocking new mechanics are pretty cool, but not as cool as meeting Zeke for the first time. What a trip.

I beat chapter 3 and then got a crunchyroll subscription so I could watch Joni's Bizarre Adventhre

edit: really got into the game in general at that point , I guess it's just having all 3 blade slots and party combos and stuff that did it. I bought it right when it came out and just sort of chipped away at it for a while but now I'm in chapter 4 and having a great time

I probably spent like 20 hours in chapter 5 just doing side quests. Once you have 3 blades and party options it's fun to just hang out in the world

My favorite part is when side quests are split into like 4 parts and you get to the very end of the very last part and it wants some blade skills yoh don’t have and you can’t turn it in what thefucj

Chapter 4 kind of dragged, the town was cool but there was a lot of busywork and dumb poo poo. Hope chapter 5 is better. Morag is cool as hell although between her and poppi 2 I dunno why 3 of the 6 guaranteed blades at this point are fire.
