Rascyc posted:The hard mode is prob one of the most balanced turn based RPGs I've ever played. Probably the only one in recent memory actually. Hard mode goes between decent challenge to RNG bullshit. They really should have balanced each boss individually rather than slapping a flat stat buff for hard mode.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Hard mode goes between decent challenge to RNG bullshit. They really should have balanced each boss individually rather than slapping a flat stat buff for hard mode. After about lvl 20-25 or so, the RNG falls off sharply since you have more access to your toolbox. The first round can still be RNG poo poo before you get any turns in, but even that's pretty easily countered by just bringing in the backup team. Act 3, on the other hand, has some fights that are either RNG hell or really expect you to completely retool for the specific encounter.

Is there any way to limit characters being turned to gold? I'm on Trial of the Luminary battle and it's hard to complete it in under 40 moves when my characters keep getting turned to gold. I can win it easily, just having a hard time hitting the under 40 requirement. I'm level 58.

The real question to ask is: Is there a way to farm skill seeds? That would effectively reach the same goal.

I kept waiting for the chance to change that and was surprised when it didn't come until the weird postgame that i still feel odd about The start of Act 2 gave me a real sense of the protagonists at their lowest point that reminded me a lot of Final Fantasy 6. It really felt like it turned the game on its head.

What on earth determines Erik's steal, I've been here for five minutes trying to get mats of enemies rather than hoping they drop and got nothing but Failed To Steal.

On the topic of Act 3, the whole time travel thing seemed weird and cheap at first but seeing Veronica's poo poo-eating grin again and listening to her scream WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! as she nukes everything is good for the soul so I'm willing to let it slideExpect My Mom posted:What on earth determines Erik's steal, I've been here for five minutes trying to get mats of enemies rather than hoping they drop and got nothing but Failed To Steal.

Act 2 Arboria Yeah, after that the whole thing made way more sense, since everyone's gotten an Act 2 power-up and both twins' skill panels were suspiciously tiny. I just liked Veronica way more than Serena.

Some enemies are also easier, he had like a near 100% success rate on grabbing serpent souls from whatever dragon holding an eyeball is in the act 3 battlefield His Pep Mode increases his deftness, so yes, it does increase his stealing success chance. I have had two sets of Robbers' Gloves and whatever the mid-act 1 headgear is that boosts stealing success rate glued to him for all of the game and by the start of act 3 I rarely have too much trouble getting a steal from enemies.
