disposablewords posted:I'm just constantly getting my poo poo rocked in SaGa: Scarlet Grace, and I don't know if that's just how it be in the early game or if I am unutterably incompetent. Early in Urpina's story yet, but it'll be like a "Normal" difficulty fight that'll turn out to be three boars who can each two-shot any of my retinue if they feel like it while taking a lot of focused stabbing to whittle down. Hell, is there even any way to predict which of your team is getting targeted so that Protect moves feel more useful instead of hoping they're not a wasted turn? I'm not seeing anything on that in the UI or the Tips section. The boars are gonna ruin your day until your fencer glimmers an Interrupt

Scarlet Grace wants every encounter to possibly kill you. It can be exhausting after awhile.

I think most of the times enemies will generally smartly attack you by frequently targeting your party members that are casting or weak health wise? I might be talking out my rear end since I haven't necessarily gone on a mechanics deep dive, but this is generally how it felt for me. I think some roles have some effect on targeting but :kawazu:  Losses on boars are basically inevitable unless you get a good chain of multiple Unites

Yeah, enemies are usually relatively smart and will try to target people they can take out, or people going after them they can stun/sleep/etc. Shielding allies is good for making sure late-acting allies don’t get stunned before they can move, or that the one party member in the middle of a group doesn’t get focused and killed for an enemy unite attack. They’re also amazing against aoes since the the shielded ally takes no damage but the one doing the shielding doesn’t take any extra, so you take a lot leas damage overall.

Formations can affect who gets targeted, I think they usually say as much. But yeah, you can mitigate damage a fair amount by having techs that inflict ailments, proccing glimmers on those is semi-luck based but rapiers get a fair few of them, and I think bows have a paralysis skill early on.

As someone who is also starting a playthrough of Scarlet Graces, I'd really recommend getting a shortsword user if you haven't already. I haven't seen all their techs yet but they come with a load of disruption, including Matador (interrupts a blunt action, sending them to the bottom of the action queue and dealing a truckload of damage), Mesmerize (puts a target to sleep, with a surprisingly high success rate) and apid venom (a drat near guaranteed poison move). I basically started doing a lot better once I was able to appropriately disrupt dangerous attacks. Also related, a bow user to consistently quell ??? actions is really, really handy.

Clarste posted:Wasn't the story trying to pair her up with the other dude? They had a good ampunt of that going on through the game. And then there were three cutscenes in a row near the final dungeon, each one focused on a different duo of party members talking about their attraction to each other. It almost felt like some kind of parody by the time the third one started up.

The main thing I dislike about Disgaea 2 PC is they retained the jumbo sized UI from the PSP version which makes inventory and unit management a chore. I never noticed any actual issues with playing the game though.

I've been sitting on Scarlet Grace for a while as something I should play, had someone else online regularly talking it up. It's pretty much just good timing that I finished up something else right when the Emerald Beyond hype was reminding me to play SG finally.

HGH posted:So people say. quote:最初はこのタイトルを「テイルズ オブ」ではなく「アライズ」と呼んでいたんです。「発生する」、「生じる」という意味の「アライズ」。最終的には「テイルズ オブ」として整理がなされていくんですけど、ごく初期のときはそれくらい「このチームで新規IPを作る」という気持ちで検討を進めていました。 quote:'Originally, the game was just called 'Arise,' not 'Tales of Arise.' Eventually, the title was restructured into Tales of Arise, but at the start we were approaching development with the idea of making a new IP. quote:開発的には不安でしたけどね（笑）。特に最初は本当にどうなるかわからなかったので。先ほど述べたとおり、「テイルズ オブ」チームが作る新しいRPGと考えていましたので、「テイルズを変えなきゃいけない」というのが逆に命題でし。 quote:From a development standpoint, I was worried. I didn't really know how it'd turn out at first. Like I said, we were thinking of it as a 'a new RPG created by the tales team.' I was always thinking about how to create something different from 'Tales of.'
