Just completed Chapter 3 and yep, this part was made by Platinum all right. Was anyone else playing on Hard for the story campaign? It's not giving me much trouble but I think that is mostly by design.

I swapped to Hard story difficulty right after Furycane and I never got a game over, though I had plenty of critical status moments. Hard story isn't particularly hard, IMO. Once I unlock the Ultimate difficulty I'll start doing story stage reclears for crabs and chests and stuff and we'll see how insane that gets.

They're from the mobile game. I was looking for them in the in-game listing too, thought it was weird they weren't there.

Oh no, I was using Ghandagoza, but I recruited Vaseraga and now I can't choose between the beef boys.

Up to chapter 6, caught up on all the available Fate stories, going to attempt some online co-op before doing the next MSQ mission. Game good.

one thing i've noticed with online is the matchmaking seems to have a lot more trouble finding a group when i queue up with a friend than when I go solo. which seems weird unless theres just a bunch of people queueing in groups of 3

I was hoping that it was just because Asian PS5 copies are only getting the patch today for some reason, but if PS5s in other regions are also having the issue that's disappointing to hear. I have like, 7 gold tickets I've been trying to spend for ages lol

I wish there was a way to stay with a group from open matchmaking. Maybe there is and I'm missing it.

Make it like MonHun, where you can vote to stick together if you want. But also let you queue up another quest right there at the results screen. Like vote to redo or pick a random one, etc.

I also haven't been able to join any random online sessions, and no one has joined any of mine that I've left open either.

Quick match with all region works most of the time for ticket dumping at least

Trying to do specific stuff though, it just network errors all the time while match making.

someone really needs to skim through the literal 15 minutes of credits this game has to see if platinum is in there, because just about every other company in the world who has ever thought of the word "granblue" seems to be (spoilers ofc in the art that's alongside the credits) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNAaut_6bhs

The director of the game, Yasuyuki Kaji, is an ex-PlatinumGames member who worked on Nier Automata and MGR as artist. I am pretty sure there are more names that are ex-Platinum in the credits but that's first one I remembered.

Is there quick way to say "yeah just spend mastery points and unlock everything above this point on the skill tree" when bringing up old crew members to a new level? You can use auto-unlock on something lower down but it'll only pick one branch at each fork in the tree.

‘Fastest’ I’ve found is to go down each branch’s bottom node on auto, doesn’t seem to be a quicker way.

i have a much weaker, if more recent card (GTX 1650) and im able to run the game at 60 fps with the model/texture quality at high instead of ultra. there's occasional dips during big bosses/when everyones spamming supers but nothing substantial. you should be fine, the game seems fairly well optimized. being in development for seven years probably helps.

Also Yodarha's insanely fun to play, but I hate how he doesn't seem to get a triple shroud stack if the enemy dies before his combo finisher ends. Really annoying on mob stages or fights with adds.

At least the AI is still pretty competant in Extreme.

only time I've ever seen the teammate AI collapse into itself is when vulkan bolla does its little platform elimination technique in bloodthirst.

Yeah the AI will perfectly avoid anything it can actually dodgeroll though, it only gets hit by boss mechanics that require walking out of a big AOE or to a safe zone in advance.

incidentally if you are running with ai party i really recommend full support build protag as an ai buddy. they can heal, they can buff, they can debuff, they can even rez. with all their skill slots dedicated to it theyll keep decent uptime on their support stuff.

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



I've seen some people say that you can spend a crewmate voucher to test a character against Sir Barrold and load a save prior to using it so that you can try a bunch before deciding. Unfortunately this didn't work for me on the very first voucher I got because it autosaved after spending the card, so now I have Percival and didn't get to try out any of the other characters. At least I'm liking the very simple gameplay with him because you never really need to use light attack at all, it seems like (skill>schlacht>skill>schlacht).

the thing is, right now (and probably forever), The Grind is The Content. saying it isn't worth the grind doesn't really matter unless your only objective is to beat every quest once, in which case no it probably isn't.

A lot of people don't know they are damage capped and wasting slots on general damage increases instead of utility. Run training dummy tests on your characters folks especially once you're in Proud difficulty.

AI can do damage with similar sigils, but won't combo/utilize character mechanics as well as a player. AI Siegfried and Zeta can surprisingly do their loops.

ATK/DEF buffs start mattering less at higher difficulties because everyone's already damage capped without them so you either slot in more attacks or debuffs instead. Skills that can Slow, Glaciate, Petrify (situational on Percy), or Paralyze should be slotted in. DEF downs aren't going to push past the damage cap though. Supplemental Damage are extra damage instances so they go past the cap

Rascyc posted:

You can save scum transmutes/transmarvels, but the RNG seed is set until the next quest completion. Abandoning a quest does not change the RNG. Curios are also determined the moment they're looted.

They are far stronger than any other weapon with significant innate damage cap increases.
