The game saves video clips of the final turn of every chapter specific boss battle and plays them after you finish a character's final chapter/Ch. 4 while the credits roll. It even has your party comp with their specific jobs at the time.

Yesterday I learned I can boost spells. The game suddenly got so much more easy

I'm really enjoying this game but for some reason I'm having a hard time playing it for any extended amount of time. It might have been my busy weekend but according to my save file I've put about ~3.5 hours into it over the whole weekend, but it feels like I've easily played 10 hours or whatever. I've started out with Therion and just went clockwise, finishing up H'aanits chapter 1 and then moving on to Ophelia. Now I'm on my way to Alfyn and everything's pretty fun and I'm enjoying it but I end up doing a Chapter 1 of a new character and then I'm just kinda done. Feels like there's a ton of downtime with all the cutscenes and people walking three steps before continuing to speak which takes like 5 minutes to pop up another text box and yada yada yada. I hope I can get into it a bit more in the near future because as I said, I'm really enjoying the game in general. It just feels like it drags a bit.

I had a Vince style series of reactions when I started boosting Therions ability that gives sp and saw it go from half to all to 150%.  Therion is my favourite sp battery. I brought him along to a dungeon where my other 3 party members were level 26-27 and was 10. His constant levelling meant that Cyrus was never wanting for sp for the whole dungeon.

I think usually I would be against not giving experience to charterers who aren't currently in your party, but good it's satisfying to take a level one character and have them rapidly jump up in level as you go about your business.

Yeah it feels like leveling up was designed to be something of a resource. I found myself getting into a fight or two before a boss just to trigger a level for healing early on.

I'm starting to wonder if I should do something other than Thief on Tressa. Her "Sorry!" when stealing items is very adorbs but it just feels sad to have her only utility be to give away SP and BP to other characters, I miss dealing damage with her. What other job would be a good fit for her?

I've found that the SP/HP stealing abilities actually deal pretty respectable damage. Her wind spells are as useful as ever too.

I think Apothecary, because of Endless Items. I haven't had a chance to confirm it yet, but with Endless Items from Merchant you should be able to Concoct with a chance of not using the items? Otherwise, her stats are all around fine so she can really do anything just fine, if not amazingly. Dancer would be good to turn her into a support class OneDeadman posted:I find that the steal Sp ability does bonkers amount of damage also this. It is always two attacks, so they both get the benefit of being boosted. It's nice.

I am honestly not sure if it's working but I think it is.

This game is good but has me hopeful that OT2 will have a more cohesive story with more character interaction. I know that would be difficult, but I hope they figure it out. For me the game feels really hollow story-wise. I love the characters I have, but I'm currently trying to get all 8 characters and that means spending several hours without hearing the majority of the characters speak since their stories aren't being continued.

I have Tressa as a Apoc anyway and it's working out pretty well. She deals a good amount of damage and is great for single heals and can restore herself for basically free with her resting. That said I am just starting her chapter 2 so maybe she'll fall off and stop doing like 1-2k off a full burst.

Donate BP is s o g o o d and I love my support Tressa who uses it and thief's Share SP/steal SP to enable everybody else to be all flavors of kickass. She's a little battery  And with her donating BP I can nearly always have enough for Olberic to use his Divine skill on Broken enemies, which regularly hits for over 20k and I'm only just after chapter 2

Tressa is an adorable apothecary and Alfyn is an adorable merchant but I feel like it might not be a good idea to have both of those on the same team  really though, apothecary and merchant have the cutest costumes on basically all the characters and I'm sad they're not as good to double up on as say, Scholar.

It would have been easy but it would require them to sacrifice a bit of player freedom. All they would've needed to do is require you to recruit everyone before moving on to the Chapter 2s. It's what most people are doing anyway so I doubt many would have minded.

The one thing stopping me from rolling with mostly Alfyn, Primrose, Therion, and H'aanit first is that I can't decide what to do for subjobs if I don't want to double up (though maybe doubling up isn't so bad). I know Primrose is by far the best candidate for Scholar with her high elemental attack, but I'm not sure about the others. I think Warrior makes a lot of sense on either Therion or H'aanit, but neither Cleric nor Merchant seems like the best fit for Alfyn or Therion. Cleric on Alfyn would just be for the couple of buff spells it provides I think, which I'm not sure if I could do better with. I realize I can switch things up, of course, but I'm wondering if maybe a different starting foursome would be easier to work with subjob-wise. Hm.

I feel like I'm the only one who really didn't like Primrose's chapter 1.  The overarching story about getting revenge on the people who murdered her father is interesting, but the sexual abuse stuff really felt kind of... not fine. I just feel like JRPGs might not be the right format for that sort of stuff.

I haven't even begun chapter 2 and she's dealing like 1600 damage to every enemy with her sword ability.

The fact that you can overload a party members SP by using a boosted Steal SP is pretty neat.

Yeah Warrior H'aanit seems extremely good. She seems to have a high crit rate and sky-high physical attack so boosting those even more seems like a very strong choice. IcePhoenix posted:

SP stops being an issue pretty quickly at which point Therion is just there to steal things in towns and be a BP battery Also anyone have any tips for the sorceror boss? I know I'm under levelled at 40 but he seems pretty solvable. Reflect magic doesn't seem to work though. acumen fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Jul 16, 2018 |

acumen posted:SP stops being an issue pretty quickly at which point Therion is just there to steal things in towns and be a BP battery Reflect works BUT his spells hits multiple times so if you want to reflect it all you'll need more stacks of reflect on you. I messed around with it during the battle and it did reflect some spells back that hit his weakness a couple of times but I don't think it was super worth it. I was around 40 when I beat him with Tressa at 45. I think what you need to beat him is HP at 2k or above and being able to survive 1 barrage of his charged up spells. Other than that it's just a matter of getting a constant stream of damage in on him.

Harrow posted:What does it do for him, out of curiosity? Serious question, because I'm still pretty early on and I don't know what I'm doing yet Gives him good weapon coverage and makes him a good utility character in general (he donates BP to Prim constantly for me). Also I haven't tested it yet but Concoct + Endless items has the potential to be pretty hilarious (though I suppose you only need to be a merchant long enough to unlock that passive before switching to something else). The real answer though is that his merchant outfit is incredibly good.
