Hey folks, I've made cleared files for all the characters so you can start CS2 with a max AP/level 80+ (Rean's 99, actually)/danced with whoever you want.

Just download the .dat and .bmp of your choice, and go to C:/users/username/Saved Games/FALCOM/ed8 and dump them in there. Rename the files to an open save slot (like, save384.dat) and once CS2 rolls around you should be good to go.

I thought that in CS2 the only thing it tracked is who was eligible to be danced with. Not who you actually did dance with.

Really not enjoying the primordial fights in Ys8. They have far too many hit points, they do too much damage, and there are way too many of them. It wasn't too bad until I go to the bit where I had to fight some who were underwater in a swamp :argh:

Laura was in the running as well, I just didn't include her in my post because 4 names in a row look kinda bad to me... BUT PLEASE DON'T DISPARAGE JUSIS. He likes horses and fencing and I think he is cool.

Not sure if it's not the reverse. Towa WOULD be more interesting than she currently is if, like Emma, she secretly liked boys' love smut because it would mean she and Angelica would get into debates all the time whenever they were alone about whether yaoi or yuri smut was better and Rean would inevitably have a bonding event where he would secretly overhear one of those discussions.

Just want some advice for Star Door 5 in Sky 3, how do you beat door's boss on hard difficulty? If you don't remember, it's Analece versus Richard.

I didn't play on hard, but the way I beat him on normal was to sandbag as hard as I could. Use all your items and all your EP on healing spells. Focus on keeping the buff up and bash the crap out of him.

I couldn't real deal appreciable damage without her 50% strength buff and even then I had to pop a last second S-Break to pull it off. Felt good though.

Side thought: I wonder who would win in a 1v1, Rean or Analece. The two eight leaves school users (besides Richard and Cassius but Richard lost to Analece and Cassius can beat anyone 1v1 because he's Cassius)

That doesn't seem to work since he does so much damage and even when buffed, I don't do enough to him. Hard difficulty gives me access to Clock Up EX and Clock Down but I can barely get one of those out before I just get smashed.

Your opponent always leads in with his S-craft, so don't lower your own defense immediately. After that, use Petal Dance and lay into him. Only use Eight Leaf Blitz if you have a good amount of CP since you need your self-buff in order to be able to damage him at all, though you CAN use Fallen Leaves to squeeze in extra turns every once in a while if your turn and his line up nicely. You're probably better off not using S-crafts since you need the CP to buff and delay and S-crafts' delay can be dangerous since your opponent will get at least two free turns after it and you can damage him without S-crafts just fine. Use your EP on healing...Anelace is a crappy caster anyway.

Edit: If you have Clock-Down, put it on him. Not sure if I'd also bother with Clock-up Ex, since you don't have a lot of EP and buffs run out kinda quickly.

Hard to put into context. Does Rean use Ogre Mode?

On top of that Sky 3rd is "endgame" Anelace. We have yet to see where Rean ends up at the end of his series unless Anelace herself shows up to tutor him or something. Also is Anelace immune to delay :cheeky:
But in general Anelace is more advanced if it comes down to a pure showdown using the Eight Leaves School.

Don't undersell Richard though. As the game says he perfects the form specializing in defense, which given his in game performance is a bold faced lie, but anyhow. Since his form focus on defending instead of offense comparing him and Anelace based on their duel seems weird.

The bluh bluh huge nerd in me would legit like to see something like this. I've felt this series does an ok job at equating story power levels into the actual stats a character has. It's not perfect of courseand takes many liberties but it's not completely out of step with the game mechanics.

Though if we went by pure numbers then Class 7 is hella swole considering it doesn't take them long to get to SC numbers at all.

In sheer numbers, sure, but in the realm of "getting-poo poo-doneness" Class VII has NOTHING on Estelle and her buddies.

Anything more I say will get into big CS2 spoilers.

Are you supposed to use it in a specific area of the desert or just press use it on while there? I tried to put the sandbag in the water or whatever and it didn't work.
