Do I have to know in advance this happens so I can send the Rion to Alm through the Peddler or is there another way to get the Rion shield to its guy? That husband quest isn't done yet. You have to go to a dungeon later on. You get like 4 peddlers per character, don't worry about that shield quest.

cheetah7071 posted:The only time in the game that backtracking is cut off is that Celica can't explore the act 1 areas after you finish act 2. Just keep playing and come back to the guy when you get your third. Thanks. That initial cutoff, plus going back to towns at the start chapter four and finding them empty except for quests I hadn't finished yet, had me on edge.

I don't know about in advance, but yeah the peddler is the only way before endgame. You get more uses in a bit if you used the chapter 3 one on Celica's side, though.

Also, having played most of the game, I really dislike the 'everyone deploys' thing because most maps have so few enemies. And it just turns into a congested clusterfuck in the boats, deserts and most of the castle chapters.

Endorph posted:that isn't really the fault of the everyone deploys thing I mean managing 16 units on small maps with few enemies sucks. And it would be a really easy thing to change design-wise since otherwise you're overhauling almost the entirety of map and encounter design in the game to have larger and more varied maps, fewer but more meaningful random encounters etc.

i dont think id want them to change it. changing the number of units deployed would just make half the cast worthless and make the entire game feel even emptier.

I like the everyone deploys thing because it's forcing me to find niches for units who are underperforming or outclassed and it's actually pretty fun.

All-Deploy is the only reason why I still have Knights, because they're really bad as the game goes on, outside of Forscythe because he has freakishly decent speed.

Yeah a lot of these maps are not friends to knights. Why do they insist on not giving them any move? They already have low speed. Let them move up front to do their job! Did Dead Man's Mire for the first time. c Celica's maps really like to pile on the -move tiles.

The Maps could be the friendliest maps in the world, but so many maps in the 2nd half are just sniping Mire arcanists and witches that Barons just instantly melt except for one that has a hex shield. At that point in the game, Dreadfighters are your "tanks" if you ever bother taking defensive damage that's not your invokes.

I still find use for Knights in delaying pushes from physical units or summoned terrors so the rest of the army could deal with more important things. They don't deal any damage but they don't take any either so they do a fine job at keeping enemies at bay.

They also seem weirdly high on the attack priority. I think the ai focuses on stuff it can more reliably hit than what big ticket damage it could do? I have had situations where I was trying to feed a kill to a low def target and the monster went after Valbar or Lukas instead.

The amount of dick moves in this game is absurd, it makes Conquest Lunatic a breeze in the park. Why are these eyeballs so fast that they literally double everyone, including my fastest dreadfighters? And hit hard? And multiply?

Well, Mae is the same actress who did Makoto in Persona 5, so big surprise she's super good. Especially now that she has an actual script to work with. Actually there's a number of P5 folks on this. Gray is Ryuji, Celica is Futaba (!), Tobin is Akechi, Genny is Hifumi, Morgana is Tatiana... Anyway I'm going to be That Nerd and ask That Question: so there really is no reason to not wait on promotion at all? You won't get ~extra stats~ for leveling some? I should just blast these here villagers to proper classes now that I've beaten up some dorks in this shrine?

SpaceDrake posted:Well, Mae is the same actress who did Makoto in Persona 5, so big surprise she's super good. Especially now that she has an actual script to work with. I mean you will get extra stats from levelling probably. But promotion gains are only up to a class base, so villagers with 5 speed or 7 speed promoting to Mercenary always get to 10 speed. And the game isn't near long enough to max people without grinding a fuckton so just promote everyone ASAP.

The cast is closer to Nier, because Alm is 9S and this is an 8-4 joint like Nier. The reasons to wait on promotion is basically if you like grinding and you have some characters that have absurdly high growth that they will out-stat other characters without promoting I.E. Mathilda, Delthea, Sonya, etc.

also exp gain seems to be balanced such that a level 1 mercenary iwll level faster than a level 8 villager, for instance

Yeah, if your dudes are at the promotion base stats there is no reason to promote them until max level except for exp gains. I've had a few people who have gained literally nothing from promoting so far which, uh, kinda sucks Though at least all tier 3 classes have perks or increased movement. Like Barons take half damage from arrows, dread fighters shrug off mag with +res, Priestesses get sword access and healing, Sages get +10 magic accuracy and healing, cleric evo gets a 5 aoe heal around them every turn, archers get a horse, falcon knights get +10 might vs. Monsters. Uh... what do Gold Knights get? I forgot. Zore fucked around with this message at 02:33 on May 23, 2017 |

Having two clerics made my lizard brain somewhat angry but already having that much extra healing is making hard mode more manageable. Doesn't hurt that clerics are able to attack too, even if it's inaccurate.

Seraphim is one of the most accurate spells in the entire game. And Faye+Silque basically breaks the game for Alm's side.

So, I just learned that you can fail to get Atlas. He seems to not appear if you do the desert part of chapter 3 before visiting his location in the town. Looks like Celica's army will be one unit short. Oh well, from what I can tell he's not that good anyway compared to the rest of her squad. I learned this the hard way, when I visited the town, but forgot to hit that one location before going to bed, and forgot that I missed a spot when I started again. But not worth restarting the game and redoing all of the game so far over again.
