W.T. Fits posted:Question about Asellus - does she need to have all three of her Mystic Gear skills equipped to benefit from the stat boosts when she transforms, or can I just equip one of them so that I can fill the rest of her skill list with tons of magic and get the mastery bonus? You only get the boost from the one(s) you have equipped.

Using a tripod site in 2021, who'd have thought?

I remember getting Saga Frontier on PS1 with a strategy guide and it didn't share any of this loving information. I still somehow beat all 7 characters, mostly on the back of DSC (including for the stupid combo fight).

Okay Gen learned Shadow Reversal and Blizzard, those are katana techniques I think? He also learned Clear Water. Not sure what else I should use to get Tres Flores or Spray of Life. Fei-on has Slide, Suplex & Collapse but not Giant Swing. What move should I use to give him the best chance of learning it?

Fei-on doesn't have the talent for Giant Swing, so you should be good to just use whichever you want out of Tumble, Suplex, or LocomotionG.

Gonna save right before the boss rush to get all three endings and then use the full mystic one for the NG+ chain.

Tallgeese posted:She has 0 gun talent. She still learns gun skills really fast. It's always been weird just how fast characters pick up gun skills. You can have guns akimbo, quick shot, and cross shot on someone even early on in the game and with a decent pair of guns they'll hit a lot harder than sword users who will have sparked double slash and *maybe* smash or heaven and hell if you got super lucky or you fought stuff in the swamp or biolab since they are higher rank than normal. Hell, while skilling Asellus I had her take a single shot each fight (with a dullahan) and I think she had everything except guns akimbo before she learned triple thrust and iirc Asellus is also a 0 or 1 for learning guns techs. Oddly enough I think Blue and Rouge might be the ones with the highest base learn for gun skills and since int also affects your chance to learn gun techs (I think it might affect martial arts and sword techs too) they're going to pick up gun skills really fast later on if you want to have them go that route. Vandar posted:Doll is so fuckin' cool. Silence looks like they want to be just about anywhere else. He probably went to Luminous right after this picture. W.T. Fits posted:Oh, also, I finally managed to finish the Arcane quest, which is something I think I've ever finished before in this game, so that's a thing! IIRC she only benefits from the ones she has equipped. You can test it pretty easily by equipping one with the least amount of +strength, transform and punch an enemy some, then equip all 3 and do it again. If you have stuff like Suzaku absorbed the damage difference will be very noticeable. lets hang out posted:iirc if the localizers had done the combo names correctly it would be MULTI-MULTI-MULTI-SLASH MULTI-MULTI-MULTI-MULTI-SPRINKLER because Gen got in on the action too  SaGa Re:Universe does the shortened names still and it's so good. Though in both versions you can still get the tried and true Smash Smash Smash Smash Smash.  MonsieurChoc posted:I've not managed to get Spray of Life on Gen or Rosario Impale on Asellus. Fight stuff like Dullahans in the biolab, you'll get life sprinkler pretty fast on Gen if you're using shadow reversal.

Chimera enemies have the highest glimmer rate of any random encounter and you can find them in the Bio Research Lab. That's how I got Spray of Life on Lute and Captain Hamilton in quick succession last playthrough.

Inspector Gesicht posted:Would monsters be worth a poo poo if they could freely stock and equip techniques? I think something like this would help, but I feel the major issue behind monsters is their inability to approach the damage that any of the other characters can do. Even with some of the higher damage moves and in forms like Dullahan, they’re easily going to be out damaged by characters with attacks like spray of life. I think monsters shine in a few areas (swift heals with magic heal and doing final bosses early with an underdeveloped party since you can beeline a few end game forms), but they don’t really have the utility, damage, or flexibility of the others.

I just managed to climb out of my poverty-hole and paid of the weirdos who give you the easiest of the four if you just give them gold. I now feel save again to make another attempt at the IRPO-card (after buying a ton of very specific protection gear, of course), followed by the swamp card. Oh, but first I'll go visit spooky ghosts! Nothing can go wrong here, right Asellus?

Is there any way to delete a quick save? I randomly made one at the start of Red's scenario and I rarely use the feature so every time I accidentally select Quick Start I get thrown into the Cygnus

I would make some redundant saves in case you accidentally do something you didn't mean to, like how I (Red's story) accidentally boarded the Cygnus at what appears to be the point of no return, but had a save to go back to, even if it was from just before I'd sparked Red's last DSC part

Yeah, you can do a magic gift questline at any time up to your character's story's point of no return. You can only do each once so if you recruit someone after you've gotten a gift, you can't get them that gift by doing the quest again.

So just hire as many humans and mystics before undergoing any trials or picking up any cards/runes. What stuff isn't tied to any main quest and is strictly optional?

I actually can't think of anything that isn't part of anyone's main quest. The magic quests are a big part of Blue's, and even the Bio Research Lab has main quest stuff for Asellus now (though it's technically optional still). There are a lot of places that are optional for most protagonists but part of the main quest for others, but I'm struggling to think of any dungeon/area that nobody has a main quest related to.

Abyss Bat, Earth Dragon, and Gen's special sword are the things I immediately know of that have no connection to main quests. As for areas, I can't think of any.

Furdo's workshop is still optional for everyone, though Asellus has restored content there. That's kind of it- pretty much everything gets used for somebody at some point. The mimic chests in Mu's Tomb aren't critical to anyone, I guess?
