WarpDogs posted:Phew, definitely do not underestimate items in this game. During the first boss my normal attacks were doing 80-120 damage and I was having trouble out DPSing their heals, so I broke out the "Throwing Axe" which did 350 damage to the entire group at once. I had three more of those so a single brave chain brought them both down my next turn. It ruled Where do you get these? That first fight is a horrendously unfun slog where I can't kill them but they can't kill me and I have to reset the game to get out and I'd love to just be past them so I can play the rest of the game. Edit: finally beat it, in think I was less frustrated with the fight and more just with having to skip 6 cut scenes each time I had to redo it.

Some of the accessories that are easily accessible in town provide huge bonuses to HP. They doubled the HP of my White and Black Mages. That solved a lot of my early problems from them being so squishy.

I enjoyed Bravely Default, I did not play Bravely Second. I very much enjoyed turning the combat encounters way down for most of the game until it was time to farm, then turning them way up and auto-battling. I like the idea of crunchy job/team combination stuff, but I don't have a lot of tolerance for time-grind. I do my grocery shopping tomorrow. Sell me up.

While not as nice as the sliders in the first game, this works too. I'm downloading the game and going to start playing tomorrow. Does this have a town builder and "bring a friend for a big gently caress off super attack" mechanic like the first game?

So far no town building, but you do get a boat that brings you back lots of various stat increasing items (exp,jp, stat boosters from what i've seen so far) while you have the switch in sleep mode. It uses the internet and presumably your friends list to say you ran into them on your journey but you don't need to connected to the internet to use the feature.

Hope there's a performance patch in the pipeline. Game feels like its about to come apart at the seams anytime you open a menu. Would like faster battle transitions too...

Not just friends, anyone else who is on a boat adventure. There's a lot of random names when I come back to collect my loot. Evil Fluffy posted:While not as nice as the sliders in the first game, this works too. Also, low level monsters will run away scared so you can walk past them. To counteract this monsters at your level will usually charge at your location (technically the location you were at at the start of their charge) but you can still slash at them beforehand to get a free BP boost. At the beginning of the game you have a knight who isn't technically in your party who will (for me) frequently pop out to do 600-1200 damage or cure me for a lot. I guess kind of like the FF3 remake but I actually like him a lot. One cute thing I like is that people who you fight and win their asterisks from lose their asterisk costumes which I found to be a really "well, duh, that makes sense" moment when I saw it.

I've never enjoyed these games for their difficulty I play for the exploration and story. Even still I've had a party member die during a fight and had a party wipe for hitting the wrong sleeping tree.

5 hours in, almost have the whole party finished with freelancer to get both jp up abilities. Having fun so far still! Definitely going to be harder to beat the next bosses without the helper anymore.

Minor complaint but I hate how the sleep mode passive island thing has to be sleep mode and not just time since you last opened the game. Annoying that the timer freezes if I play something else.

Not sure how useful this is because the weight mechanic is stupid and ruins the game, but you can steal strong stuff from rare enemies. There is a Treant that spawn in the northeast section of the first area of the game that is a pretty high level rare spawn. Here's how you steal from it: 1. Learn Magpie on a Thief so you can steal rare drops 2. Learn Spearhead from 2 Beastmasters, one of whom is the thief with Magpie 3. Steal x4 with the Thief 4. Flee with the secondary Spearheader 5. Reset to title screen if you didn't steal the rare drop From that treant specifically, I got a 130 ATK/114 MAT spear that weights a poo poo ton. I am sure this is useful for rare spawns throughout the game to some extent, but once again, it's too bad there is an arbitrary weight mechanic that exists only to force you to level your chars. edit: also note, that the thief special can't steal rare items even with Magpie. As far as I can see, anyways. I tried it about 10 times. BabyRyoga fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Feb 27, 2021 |

I think I like the weight mechanic. Makes gearing something to think about and at least so far the equipment choices have felt fairly meaningful.

Wow, I'm sure this falls off later but just having 4 Freelancers stand in front of something puny and then foraging for all the ether and attack items in the kingdom is giving me some mighty fine returns for the cost of holding down a button while I watch netflix.

That's how a correctly implemented weight system works. I think you misunderstand how the one in this game works. As you level up your characters, you gain more capacity. It's nothing more than a check to essentially REQUIRE that you grind levels. The spear I found for instance is heavier than the max weight my level 17 chars can equip even if they were naked.

It seems like an anti steamroll via lucking into rare gear thing which...like..Why do they care if people do that in a single player game? If you find an out of depth piece of equipment you should feel good about it.

On top of that, it is too restrictive even for store bought stuff. Try to BIS a char in the first 5 or 10 hours in the game, and you'll almost certainly be over.

I'll just have my chars with a sword, a helmet, and a necklace walk around with no armor because it's too heavy to fill the slot. Gonna earn the right to use armor by leveling up!
