Yeah, I think as long as you don't use the class-change items, the game won't give you dupes until you have every one you can use.

Either way ??? seed farming was really just exposed as a way to lengthen the game in the original. The remake had no need of it.

You can class change other characters while you're waiting for the full set and it should still give you one of each ultimately. Unless you meant actually using them as a consumable?

I was talking about class changing using them, though presumably using them as combat items is also a bad idea. From what I understand the game checks your inventory for what you have when deciding what the seed gives you. I waited until I had the ones I wanted before doing any of the class changes and never got any dupes, but IIRC in Natural20's LP of the game he got a dupe after class changing some but not all of his characters.

Well, gently caress me. I had a playthrough on PC I started that was almost done with the Benevedons so I thought I would just get the rest of the treasure ??? seeds just to check again. Something dropped a ??? in the shining ruins so that it disrupted the chest seeds, and while the first 6 did give me one of each, the first six included the dropped one, and the 7th one from the last chest was an old class change item. So I guess it's not the chests necessarily. Only took 4 from scratch playthroughs for it to do it like that for me. So probably just accurate to say the randomizer tries to get you one of each for the first six but also just sucks at it occasionally?

Any chance someone can recommend me a relatively modern (or something I can emulate) turn-based JRPG that's also hard as hell, preferably where the solution to that isn't just Do More Battles Get Numbers Bigger? I'm still deciding on what I plan to play after I finish up Atelier Ryza, but it fired up some old jrpg drive that'd been turned off for like a decade and it rules.

So like, how do you want the hardness delivered. Is it that you need to know typing, is it just that you're extremelt weak versus foes so you need every advantage, or something like random chance can ruin you and you're gambling time spent in dungeon versus your luck?

Can never go wrong with Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse. One of the best JRPG battle systems ever and also crazy hard on Apocalypse difficulty. But maybe you've played that. Sorry, I don't post in here much. It really is the most recent hard turn-based game I've played. No wait, Strange Journey Redux is technically even more modern than IVA....kinda? Have you ever considered gameplay mods and hacks? They get a bad rap from some on here but many like FFVII New Threat are fantastic.

The more I play Chapter 2 of Trails of Cold Steel 3, the more I really wish we'd get an official release of the Crossbell games. At the very least they've made a really good reason as to why Lloyd and the SSS aren't getting to play the hero here. And the great wandering bard Olivier makes his return  .

Definitely more in line with the first two rather than random chance, things like specific strategies and expending temporary resources or items to deal with situations. Dragon Quest 11 is on gamepass so that's a low effort try on my end, I'll toss that on the list. I haven't played a DQ game since fuckin' DQ Monsters for, like, the GBA?

Sab Sabbington posted:Definitely more in line with the first two rather than random chance, things like specific strategies and expending temporary resources or items to deal with situations. So I've been meaning to only bring this up after i beat it but gently caress it, why not. The gold standard for FF hacks are: FFVI Brave New World (SNES) FFVII: New Threat (PC) FFIX: Alternate Fantasy I've played all of these and can vouch for their great quality in terms of innovation and challenge without venturing into "oh god why" territory. Although I did find Necron pretty much impossible without Eiko and her Dispel .... But the mod I've been playing lately is for FFVIII and it's called Crystal. Basically, it's a Class Mod for FFVIIi whee every character gets a GF which leans abilities with levels (or select items) and those are meant to be that character's and nobody else's. Zell has Ifrit and is a Monk so he punches poo poo, learns abilities like Mad Rush (Berserk/Haste/Reflect), Quistis is a Blue Mage so she has Shiva who learns eh Aura ability (not a spell in this) and so-on. You can technically give a GF to whoever and have White Mage Rinoa use Black Magic but their stats are designed for certain roles and also it just kinda misses the point. I'm at the end of Disk 3 and have found it far and away the most creative and ambitious FFVIII hack of all time. More importantly, it is fair. Early fights in other FFVIII hacks can kill you but as the creator of Crystal noted, fight difficulty should respond to player options. As you get more options, the game gets harder. Never impossibly hard or unfair but still more interesting and requiring more thought than the original by far. Like, since Rinoa is the White Mage, who do you send to the Missile Base and who goes with you back to Balamb Garden? That is basically a snapshot of the kind of thinking that goes into this mod. Right now I have to swap out Quistis for Selphie (Black Mage) because Bahamut is kicking my rear end and I need her unique talents. (she is the only person who learns Double which is an ability and not a spell this time around and Bahamut has shifting elemental weaknesses) Finally there is SMT Nocturne HardType. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3299/ But if you've never played SMT at all, maybe hold off on that one. It's hard to recommend Nocturne for me because it's so primitive. IV Apocalypse obliterates it in terms of gameplay, as does SJR. But at the same time, maybe it's ideal to start with the weaker game....? Do you have a 3DS or will you emulate with Citra on PC? But yeah, I've played many mods but thee are the ones I would recommend as quality. They do a lot of intriguing things with the gameplay and make a game very different from the original in a good way. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Jan 3, 2021 |

SaGa Scarlet Grace is the kind of jrpg where you gotta think about your choices in every battle, and since there's level scaling it means you can't mindlessly grind your way out of a problem.

Cold Steel's never been subtle about Rean and Alisa being the defacto pairing, but goddamn CS3 is as subtle as a brick about Alisa really wanting into Rean's pants. I was also pretty cold on Musse as a character at first, but I really appreciate a character who can just prod things off-course with the right words in the right place without getting too chess-master-y about it. She clearly knows a bit more, but not everything, and half of what she seems to be doing is just to see what'll happen so she can find out from a safe distance. The script's also largely better than I was worried it'd turn out under NISA, especially when it has to incorporate about three different shades of subtext onto every single line spoken between Olivier and her.

It took me a while to come around to it but after CS4 I agreed with some sentiments that Emma should have been the main romantic lead, she has the most obvious throughline with the overall plot and it makes sense why she and Rean would be in constant company and would bond together. Whereas Alisa it feels like they ran out of stuff for her to actually do in CS3/CS4, apart from a few obvious moments that honestly didn't get played up as much as I expected. Not my problem though I picked Sara!!

The witch village is probably the most important location in CS4, and in general her clan is given probably the most direct relevance for the larger plot between Roselia, Vita, and the backstory for Erebonia, with Emma's relationship with all of them a big aspect of her character.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious Emma's got the most to do throughout the quadrilogy just because of her being tied into Vita Clotilde due to them both being Hexen Clan, Alisa probably got top-billing by trying to make her the "normal/average" option. It's a moot point anyway, because Laura's the best choice. Someone so much as grazes Rean in a fight and she gets pissed  .

Alisa is obviously the correct choice because Rean sees that with the decline of the aristocracy the only way to continue to live his privileged lifestyle is to marry into the rising capitalist class which will also give the Reinfords an appearance of legitimacy with the remaining old money.

This is reminding me that I gave Emma contacts in CS3 when she was temp available, then later on the rooftop she appeared with glasses again because Controllable Emma and Not-Controllable Emma are different. Except for like one cutscene within the barrage of cutscenes, she had contacts again despite not being actual playable during that, which was super weird.

Omori does something that Jimmy & the Pulsating Mass did that i enjoy very often namely when you go off the beaten path or into a hidden alcove or something and the game goes "You have now entered The Spooky Zone™. There are no exits from The Spooky Zone™. Enjoy your stay" doesn't happen often, love it when it does

If they wanted Emma to do things they don’t need to make her a love interest, she is relevant to a part of the plot...she doesn’t need to be a love interest. They could just integrate her better into the plot she’s already in. Instead she spends most of the game giving some very introductory exposition while the loving Cat spends more time being plot relevant and actually forms a more real bond with Rean
