Wazy sucked till he revealed that not only did he know he was the rear end in a top hat in his plot, but also that he has a burning heart of manliness of his own.

Woah, spoilers. Also, Wazy was cool even back in Zero and made the Garcia fight significantly easier by punching him a lot, which for some reason inflicts -50% speed.

it gets easier as the time chamber starts showering you in increasingly ridiculous rewards

as long as everyone's weapon/armor/speed/accuracy(for fighters) is up to date you can wing it early on with whatever crappy accessories or quartz you find

you can challenge them whenever in the corridor, the VM table also lets you pick any opponent you've unlocked.

e2: also protip you can find a random next-level weapon/armor upgrade for whoever's in your party as a random drop in the dungeon sometimes. it's not common enough to outfit everyone or be worth shooting for but it makes it worth changing up your party when you run through. it also stops at +3, after that you gottta pay out your rear end for all of em

a lotta yall still dont get it

mirror holders can use multiple Shuffle Scuffles on a single Void Spire

so if you have 1 Trial Key and 3 Dreamland Hills you can create 3 new Spires

Tonight's Shuffle Scuffle event is essentially a minting event for both Sealing Stones and Phantasmal Shards

I don't think the people in falcom are secretly fascists IMO they just occasionally don't think things through

Japan just has really different takes on rich and poor stuff. I mean being a rich stuck up bitch thats secretly misunderstood somehow for example is a staple character in moe/kawaii culture. It doesnt always translate the best in localizations though. It's also a bit of a culture of if you're on the outskirts of society somehow and not making it then you must have done something wrong and its your fault. On the other token theres plenty of stories in Japanese pop culture about discrimination and oppression of "the common people" and what not. I mean the villain faction of the first 2 trails in the sky games are more or less the nobles with the good apple ones of course just happening to be the ones you find in your party like Laura and Jusis

I haven't had a chance to play it very much yet, I can say that it seems like they are trying to make it somewhat more difficult compared to other Ys games. I got to an early game boss where they really force you to parry attacks (some with not-so-obvious tells) or you get rendered into a piece of garbage within seconds. There hasn't been any enemy diversity in the first chapter of the game, but everything I've done so far has felt very tutorialish.

The only problem being there's only so many moments in the game where he's actually available and in your party to use the Egg Loop.

once damage and hp start getting nutty defense doesn't really matter but before then there's a place for it

In CS 1&2 depending on which version you're playing you can get a poo poo load of Zeram Powders/Capsules that were originally DLC, you can sell like half of those for more money than you'll ever need and keep the rest for emergencies.

Nah. Even in chapter 1, the boss is hitting for like 750 on normal (before str buff), and upgrading to armored vest reduces that by like 40. It just does not matter.

And then in chapter 2 you can buy the only armor in the game with speed.

Choose the slow parcel shipping to save, so it took like 4-5 months to get here. I think he's an overrated character and a total jerk. But he was cheap and on sale.
In other figurine news, I threw in my pre-order for Fie.

I have the Altina figure.

At some point when I have more discretionary income, I'm going to try and get the Rixia, Renne and Fie ones.

I also saw that there's going to be a Tio and an :siren: Estelle :siren: figure eventually.

tbh with every flirty man in this series (Olivier/Olivert, Wazy, etc.) I'm legit unsure if Falcom writes them as bisexuals or merely "straight but flirts with dudes to get funny reactions out of them".
