The banter being very easily missable if you dont' have the right members in your party at just the right time is very lame

And of course if you miss one, you can't go back and do it. Can't reread them either. So yeah, it still sucks. I'm hoping someone puts them all up eventually.

Ok. Finally getting around to play. I never played many JRPGs back in the day being a Genesis kid. I have no idea why this scratches an itch I didn't think I had. Playing this game is so relaxing.

I have hit major choice paralysis in my party. I need to figure out what cross-classes to do and go get all the shrines after I get the last party member (which I am at). Thinking: Therion - Hunter Primrose - Scholar Olberic - Merchant I guess??? Alfyn - Cleric? That gives me every job but man it does not feel optimal. And I'm not sure what to move around for more coverage. The choice paralysis is real.

Does the Dialogue get a little less flowery and verbose after everyone’s first chapter? I’m getting Persona 5 flashbacks of pressing through dialogue that doesn’t really add anything to the plot and seems to repeat / drone on endlessly. When H’aanit have a 10 page long soliloquy to a mindless monster about the circle of life my eyes almost rolled out of my head.

Goofy faux-archaic dialog is the gimmick from H'aanit's area, which is remote and rustic. They speak differently in other places.

Are there guaranteed to be Travel Chat convos with all other seven party members? I just did Primrose and obsessively swapped party members after every event and never triggered anything with Olberic or Therion.

Mega64 posted:So for Chapter 2 you can swap characters in and party chat with them, but only if their moment hasn't passed. So I got one-on-ones with Ophelia and Primrose since their dialogue triggers at the end of Alfyn's quest, but I missed out on Therion and Olberic's. Kind of a shame you can miss them like that, but I'm sure all of them will be floating around the internet within a week or two anyway. odd, how do you know if you're going to "miss" on something? curious if the game has a notice when these are available.

I normally avoid game specific threads to avoid spoilers. I don't go into the BotW thread from when it came out until I had every shrine done. But I had to post an experience and see any comments on it. (crosspost from Switch Thread) 3 Characters so far. Randomly encounter a cat creature that apparently has 3 HP but runs away most of the time and I kill it and got 1000XP when I'm used to getting like 9. LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! LEVEL UP! I seriously gained 8 levels at one time with my lowest character, and 4 or 5 with my highest. what the gently caress Loving the game btw

theshim posted:The obvious one to me is switching Cleric to someone else so you're not putting all your healing eggs in one basket, maybe trade that with Scholar? That's definitely my first thought but I also want Prim to be nuking people constantly thanks to her passive. Are cleric heals based on elemental attack or defense? If it's the latter I could make olberic a paladin which would be pretty fun.

This game has a *very* simplified and more gamey version of the NPC interactions found in D&D CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and I kinda love it. Also, after playing over 100 hours of the Trails in the Sky games I'm kind of relieved town NPCs rarely get new lines of dialogue and you never have to speak to them multiple times to hear all that they have to say. Very efficient.

Alf can just be a BP battery with the merchant skills

Very disappointed to learn that you can't lockpick without Therion, even with the Thief subclass. I thought his path action was Steal, so he effectively gets two. One to interact with NPCs (shared with Tressa) and a unique chest one for those of us that cannot leave chests behind.

Tressa can find money lying around, H'aanit can capture and summon beasts, Olberic can Boost his Defend command, etc.

Every character has 1 path action and 1 talent, it's just with the exception of Tressa and Therion they're "a path action and something you can do in combat"

I was trying to figure out a way to fit Apothecary Primrose into my lineup (  ) when I realized that the thing that makes apothecary cool, i.e. the mixing, is of course Alfyn's talent  Why couldn't they just have these things (concoct, pokémon training, etc.) as part of the job like in real job system RPGs!?

I actually like the fact that each member has something unique to only them. I just wish Therion's wasn't "be able to open a box".  Alchemist is still pretty decent as a job, you get good single target healing, a status cure/immunity buff, and poison is a lot more hard hitting than you'd expect it to be.

You could just run back and pick it up later during free play. The boxes I have opened have had better gear than I've been able to purchase. So is the stuff Therion can steal but Tressa can't buy for whatever absurd reason. The devs just really really want you to have Therion on your team.
