I've decided the worst character to recruit in Hundred Heroes is Paquia. 5 regular eggs (you've probably sold a bunch because of inventory restrictions) that have an 8% chance of dropping? Ugh.
And she seems quite important, like there's quite a few upgrades gated behind her building!

I'm guessing the Square Enix news means less Diofield Chronicles and HARVESTELLAs? Stuff they didn't necessarily lose money on, but didn't get enough of a return on.

Didn't they already say less of these would happen last year?

I think this year is about Foamstars/Forspoken etc.

Who knows. I doubt it affects any big series anyway. I hope we get more Harvestella type stuff though.

Thousand Arms is a game where I only learned about it through a blurb in a gaming magazine and that blurb was wrongo bongo about what the game was actually like so I always get a little nostalgic dissapointment when people discuss what it really is.

With item drop up and cj its not hard to get her stuff, and the upgrades locked behind her are just for her building which Ive never touched you can't make me game.

Yeah, even if Rebirth didn’t do that well, there’s no reality where Square doesnt finish Part 3 and release it. We may instead just not get another Final Fantasy remake which I am okay with. They instead move onto Final Fantasy 17, and maybe release it multi-platform from the start.

They are the lucky badge and super lucky badge but I forgot where I got them. CJ's basic rune lens move for 1 sp apparently boosts drop rates as well. It shouldn't take you super long with all that stuff, assuming you go to redthroat ridge and dont listen to the guides with wrong information.

i mean. they will probably choose to release multiplatform as long as one platform holder isn't holding out a bag of money in their face. if a platform holder does dangle a big bag for them, they will probably go for the bag again

I don't know if Babylon's Fall's gameplay style of "use both bumpers and triggers constantly while also pressing face buttons and moving both sticks" would have caught on regardless.

But it would have been cool to see it happen.

The Lucky Badge is in the optional sea cave dungeon to the right of Hishahn, the Super Lucky Badge is in one of the chests in CJ's recruitment dungeon. The Super Lucky Badge in particular is cracked and will absolutely flood your inventory with stuff.

I THINK that CJ's rune is a steal rather than a drop rate up. I think it's also a very, very bad steal, because once I saw the rune have a special animation where a chest fell after she used it, which I'm guessing was the effect activating. I used CJ in my party the whole game once she was available and used the Rune basically every time she had at least 1 SP, so the rate on it must be awful.

they should definitely make another harvestella because my $60 purchase of the first game made them break even on development budget and I promise I'll buy a sequel, so it's a wash for them at worst.

Oh lol, and possibly lmao, regarding CJ's rune. You can get a hero combo that also makes steal attempts but uh, its the literal last one you can get and requires you to have gotten every other character so helpfulness is approximately 0.

Id still play an Eiyuden 2 mind you.

Shes in the second area of the shops. If you have the rune store she is down and to the left of that shop.

Shes also useless until the final shop upgrade.

This isn't quite true. Your shops seem to Mega Man any shops you visit (with a possible cap based on upgrade level, I didn't notice any but I upgrade my castle and such as soon as I get access to a new tier of materials), and you can then buy and equip things for all your preferred characters at once rather than having to change your party like four times to get everyone. Well, I haven't tested the rune shop because it's so much more convenient to mess with runes via Sumire, but Frida lets you equip stuff you buy on anyone you've recruited.

Has anyone found the Cherry Petals in Eiyuden Chronicle? It's the last bath item I need for a complete set. Most of them were pretty easy to find, the only other tricky one is the Distant Flying Saucer, which is one of those ground pickups, hidden behind the fallen meteorite in the Eastern Desert. It blends in pretty well, so you may need to look closely.


EDIT: By the way, I've made some discoveries regarding the rare finds in Eiyuden:

-If any shops in a given town change inventory, they all do, even if the new version of the inventory is technically unchanged, and rare finds only show up in the "final" version of the town's shop inventories (Athrabalt's weaponsmith and armor shop upgrade following the Ice Cave, and you can obtain the Steamed Bread recipe at that point)

-Touching any shop in a given town will roll for rare finds and set the 30-minute lockout timer (also discovered in Athrabalt, where I couldn't get the recipe to show up, but I'd also just updated my team's gear, and realized that was the reason the shop wasn't giving up the bread; after I gave it some time and came back, the recipe showed up within just a few reloads)

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
took me 30 hours to realize XBX has a transmog system

when you max out a class, are you expected to move on to the others? i think that would be more to keep things fresh than getting stronger, since your art and skill slots are very limited.

"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"
Since you can use the weapons/artes from the mastered classes, you’re expected to go to the other classes so you can mix and match/pick up skills.

The limited skill slots hurt, but I guess you can just chill as a Drifter and reap the benefit of 5 skill slots once you’re done
