Be honest, do you really think any game he's made besides Nier has been anything besides an unmitigated shitpile of trash? Like yeah, the stories are usually crazy as hell and that's real cool and all but Drakengard 1 and 3 are beyond bad in all other areas. And even Nier, which I like quite a bit, has probably a dozen utterly questionable design decisions. I very much hope that Platinum has quarantined him well away from any actual game designers.

Hell in my experience you have enough time to bait the meteors into the safe zone, run out and back in and take zero damage

There's no POINT to doing it this way, but it's more lenient than it looks

Part of this is probably due to the shoestring budgets he usually has to operate with; no sensible CEO would ever give him an adequate amount of cash for projects like his.

Yeah there's quite a lot of time to move around.

One thing that probably needs to be mentione re: SophieEX is that burning your Sprint so you don't die is less dps loss than getting raised and dealing with sickness, but I rarely see people remember to do it.

The discussion was people jokingly going "Yo man let Taro Yoko write a class questline in 4.0". I don't think anyone was talking about letting him take over or letting the shoestring budget team that Cavia is do mechanics. Calm down.

My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

is there a good idiot's guide to crafting in HW? especially if it's 3.4 relevant. i'm coming back to the game after a while so I dunno what to do other than the good old 'get every craft to 50' routine.

i care a lot about crafting gear for my ast, so is it reasonable to specialize crp/wvr/gsm and gear myself? or is this a giant waste of time since i haven't even started hw crafting?

Getting good enough gear to craft 4* is quite easy now IMO, if you're in a goon FC. Get the materials, bother goon friends to craft you an ironworks set, do some melding, done. I only have 3 crafting classes at 60, but all 3 of them can do 4*.

Getting crafters from 50 to 60 can be either cheap or quick though. Spamming leves can get expensive quickly on some classes.

Don't worry about specializing until you're ready to do 4* crafts, since that's the only thing you need them for. And which ones you pick doesn't matter much in the long run. CRP/GSM/WVR are all you need for the final products, but you'll need intermediate materials from literally every other class. No matter what you pick, you'll have to rely on someone else for at least part of it. Personally, I'd suggest going ALC/CUL and one of your choice.

Late Night Robot Fights is looking for people! We're forming a late night static (schedule tentative, but it'd be on or after 8PM PST weekdays/maybe more flexible weekends) looking to punch some robots with the end goal of clearing A12S before Stormblood comes out. Send Ad Astra a message on Discord if you're interested; I think we need all roles, but non-DPS are preferred.

What's the latest news on the squad mechanics? I remember someone saying there was new info coming to light soon-ish.
Do we know where/how we get new chemistries yet? Do you only get them from missions or from training, too?

Considering theres no full squad report that includes the chemistry column to show off new ones from training results, probably an incredibly safe bet to say they only get picked up on mission deployments

I'm not, I transferred off a while ago to play with irl friends. I guess I'll pray that they can do it or I'll have to suck it up and start the journey of being able to do everything myself. :rip:

So pretty much level every craft to 60 unless I have friends to fill in the gaps for me?

I'm currently trying to decide between Mudfish and WTFast, and i can't even get back on with either. I'm not sure i understand mudfish as well as i would like (I only downloaded it a few days ago tho), but while WTFast seemed to work really well, they seem like a shithole of a company so i'm kind of torn.

Participation earns you a jewelry piece based on your tier.

Ranking earns you the season reward. S1 and S2 were armor. S3 will be a mount.

Mudfish is the best based solely on that it costs a fraction of any of the others. I think I paid $10 like eight months ago and I still have enough left for another year or two.
