When do I get access to a class other than Medic Gunner with Daze, or a class with Launch that isn't tied to a super art (whatever those are called)? Currently I'm in chapter 3 and have unlocked war Medic, thaumaturge, full metal jaguar, the dual sword class, and the sword/shield tank

Sorry to repost, anyone have any ideas here? I don't really want to search online because im trying to avoid story spoilers and it's easy to bump into stuff on accident.

Whats weird is I don't really remember overleveling being a problem in either of the first two games

Your level would spiral wildly out of control if you did all the side quests in XC1.

But there were dozens more side quests in XC1. This just feels like it wasn't playtested.

Do you get faster travel options later in the game? This world is bugfuck huge and most of my time spent in game is walking around and I’m kinda sick of it and just wanna get on with the plot.

you should have access to skip travel really early and that lets you pop to any landmark or camp anytime

Keep in mind Medic Gunner's Daze can be shoved onto other classes, it's a Master Art. You do get other sources of it but only much later. As for Launch, there's a class with it as a Master Art in Chapter 4, very hard to miss.

That doesn’t solve the problem of stomping around for 30 minutes in Dannagh trying to map the place out before giving up and porting back closer to the main quest marker. I appreciate the amount of effort but into making it seem like a real world but god drat.

u could just not map the whole thing out. if you're bored with exploring and just want to do the main plot, you can. nothing's stopping you from doing more exploring later

Right, though it does start on cooldown when it's set as a sub art so you can't open fights with it if you do that. Either way thanks for the info

Still in ch 3, the full metal jaguar class has turned chain attacks from a 60k-80k damage affair to 200k-300k+. Also builds up TP like no one's business. The chain attack music is so good too.

The second area in the game is just gigantic. At this rate the game world is going to be way bigger than even X.

if i have one complaint about the class system its that the game likes to auto-swap your gems and accessories to whatever it deems the most "beneficial" to the class, even when it's flat out wrong

like if I switch someone to a defender role it'll take the gem that gives a flat +30% bonus to attack when canceling and replace it with a "add 100 extra hp" gem. Which do you think is better for a class that wants to grab as much aggro as possible, game???

also i recommend sorting accessories by type and scrolling through until you get to the weirder ones, I had a legendary accessory that lets you revive people no matter the role you're in just sitting there. I don't know where I even loving got that thing.

If you’re on a modded console or using an emulator, you can use cheat #25 on this page to unlock downleveling before the postgame. You need to register a gbatemp account to access the page but it works great.

Is there a benefit to ending an Ouroboros early before overheating? Does it lower the time before you can use it again or something?

it might have a longer cooldown time if you let if overheat? but the more important difference is if you cancel it yourself, you can hop back into it if you need to in an emergency while the cooldown's at half, whereas if it overheats it needs to be all the way back at zero

It only does this once per char per class. After that it remembers what you had previously last time you were that class on that character.

yes but the game also encourages you to constantly switch into new classes and the default options it chooses seem to be bad every time

also if I, for example, switch noah back to swordfighter to get a break art, the game goes "oh, you want your swordfighter setup? okay!" and gives me the accessories I had equipped in the first hour of the game

just had a very fun moment of gameplay and cutscene synergy where I killed a boss with Sena & Lanz's Ouroboros Chain Attack Finisher, only for the cutscene immediately following it to feature the two of them punching the boss's lights out in that very same form
this happened again on the bossfight in the middle of chapter 4, I genuinely can't tell if the game has multiple versions of some of these end-of-bossfight cutscenes depending on who you were controlling

Jesus, the fight against Alexandria's group seems really hard for their levels. My whole party is 42 and this is a fight against (I think) 4 level 40 enemies, and they just completely erase my party within like 20-30 seconds.

I've gotten heavy Digital Devil Saga and Squid Game vibes from this since I started and it's continuing to ramp up. At end of ch 3 and this game has been really clicking for a while. Like XB2 it needed some time to get going for me, although not as much time.

They spawn in the world individually. They’re solo uniques with a small squad. Pretty sure you first run into one a bit after you get the ability to climb cliffs or after you can climb dunes. There’s ? Marks on the map where they are
