^burtle posted:My wife was merciless with the dialogue lines from XBC2. She still asks for local snacks. What is it with JRPGs with voice lines in battle and everyone constantly screaming over one another / occasionally themselves somehow, anyway? I remember Star Ocean 2 being the first game I noticed it in and I hated it so much that I never finished that game.

John Wick of Dogs posted:Lol I just killed the red mage on the first move with three godspeed strikes holy drat Do the secondary hits from Godspeed all tick independently? I always guessed that the balance point was that if you stacked up three of them in a turn that you only got one secondary hit.

John Wick of Dogs posted:No they all hit Sounds like I need to give Team Godspeed a run and roll with like 3 thiefs or thief subs with a whm/brd and just explode a boss in one round. Edit: How's Ranger in this? I'm getting ready to head to her obviously telegraphed dungeon and am looking for something to class change my thief primary to now that thf is maxed. RNG/THF sounds like it'll still be pretty rad and able to turbo explode single targets.

Is there anything to increase regular drop rates from monsters? I'm in chapter 3 and went back to the earlier zones to do some grinding and started trying to fill out monster entries, and I noticed in the chapter 2 zone the monster drop rates are absolutely abysmal. Rare Talent x 4 seems to make the rare drops virtually guaranteed, but the "common" drops are now super rare. It almost feels like a bug. Removing rare talent doesn't seem to help. Is that just how it is?

PageMaster posted:Spirit master would be so good if it didn't basically cancel out my entire berserker character. What's a good main to sub spirit master onto? Alternatively what's a good main damage dealer to replace berserker? I already have a swordmaster main with vanguard sub so looking to try something different. Maybe a thief? Dragoon dual wielding spears with berserker as a subclass for massive aoe damage to insta-gib trash encounters. Stick on the beast whisperer passive as well to stockpile an army of captures in the process. DeathSandwich posted:Do the secondary hits from Godspeed all tick independently? I always guessed that the balance point was that if you stacked up three of them in a turn that you only got one secondary hit. They all hit one after another. So if you fire 16 Godspeed strikes then at the end of the turn it'll tick 16 times. At that point, if the enemy isn't dead then you're about to be.

Turns out any time your connection is disconnected while sailing, the game auto-turns off online connectivity, meaning you have to manually enable it again in the settings every time.

I should clarify that I'm kind of a broke brain completionist so I was trying to clear away all the ??? from monster entries. Stealing is a non-issue, it's specifically the common drops that seem to be ultra-rare all of a sudden.

You don't mug enemies 100% of the time though. I've been mugging with indiscriminate rage and magpie while doing jp grinding to get the occasional phys defense booster bun. Rare stealing off of the optional bosses also is highly profitable for breaking the game if you are able to maneuver around their weight requirements (the Baal optional boss north of wiswald has a 117 atk/110 matk dagger as his rare steal, but it's 30 weight. You can steal and run and still keep the stolen items as well) berenzen fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Mar 9, 2021 |

Ok, not to complain, but I can confirm my drop rate problem seems to be a bug of some kind. Just fought a single troll and it dropped a hi-potion after the battle, no stealing, then checked its monster entry and both drops are still listed as ???. Wish I could give a warning as to what I did to glitch my game but reloading a save didn't fix it.

I am really liking this game. The reviews put me off initially but it turns out it is another turn based job heavy JRPG and nobody wants to play those anymore I do think it’s kinda dumb that I can’t abandon side quests. I was accepting a bunch of quests and thinking why can I only see the old ones still

It's very, very clunky and limited but it's there. This is a solid game but desperately needed so many QOL stuff.

SKULL.GIF posted:Why would it possibly be implemented like this? Probably because of the goofy way the switch handles online connectivity, where certain things function one way when and only when connectivity is on and another way when and only when it's off, and ne'er the twain shall meet. So it probably has to do that in order for your boat trip to continue running if your internet connection gets cut off. That's my guess anyway, since it hasn't happened to me.

I feel like this Beastmaster second specialty was not created with the assumption that people would be giving 3/4 of their party Beast Whisperer. Anyone with Beastmaster maxed is ludicrously overpowered with it (more than double as strong as any other party member who isn't a maxed Beastmaster) and I've steamrolled the last couple bosses I've encountered as a result. In the (Chapter 2) Archer fight I also noticed that the boss's add was weak to Light, so I looked through my beast collection and found one that casts Banishra. I used Off The Chain with it and it did 8000 damage.

That said, I think it’s only disabled when the game gives an error about connectivity being interrupted, so you probably don’t have to check the settings every time you go sailing to make sure you get better loot. Key word: Probably.

I did the survey Nintendo sent me about this game and complained about how poorly implemented side quests are and also the lack of a map in dungeons and how annoying all the boss counters are. If everybody does the survey maybe they’ll get the message??

While dungeons would be better with a map, they've all been so straightforward to get all the treasures and get to the end, none have really been mazelike at all. All reasonably short length

I hated the Lost Woods-esque area. All I wanted to do was to take a look at all routes to get the treasure chests, but 70% of the paths put you back near the beginning. That was the only one that frustrated me, and a map wouldn't have helped.

I beefed it and wound up dying on the Shieldy McShielderson fight. One of the adds has an instant death attack that he loving loved, up to and including a 4bp spree of oneshot killing three party members near the beginning of the fight. After that I was just so far behind playing catchup between the other assholes doing their thing, the shield guy throwing out blinds like candy, and just trying to stay upright that I ran out of pheonix downs, RIP. Time to break out freelancer forage spam for more downs and rejigger my strategy to punkout the death spammer.

I'm mid-Chapter 4, but I love the (job combo spoilers) combination of Shieldmaster and Swordmaster I've put together, where Adelle can tank hits for everyone with Defender of the People, gain BP, and then on subsequent turns pops Fluid Stance and then Fluid Left to counterattack and take a BP away from the attacker. I've locked down the two occupying commanders I've fought so far in Halcyonia and Savalon this way
