The only DLC party member who's worth it is Wilbell, and that's because her support attack is throwing her hat like Oddjob. Also make sure you download the free DLCs, the maps are a nice addition and the small music pack has a pretty neat remix of the battle theme.

fronz posted:That's about the halfway point. If you got bored there I don't think it'll be very fun for you. The game gets better in almost every regard from that point on (depending on which group you pick): more interesting sidequests, more characters, plot ratchets up, but all in ways that wouldn't change your opinion from "uninterested" to "interested", I think I love the conclusion Jack comes to if you side with humans. "Girls are weird. I'm going back to sleep."

You get seven party members total, not counting DLC. Sadly, Wilbell is one of those DLC characters, and she's the only one who's worth it because she's Wilbell and she throws her hat like Oddjob.

I always go for the guilty verdict, because it just seems to make more sense. Why do they still throw you in jail if you're found not guilty? I know the chancellor's corrupt (and, y'know, literally a monster), but c'mon now, that's not how incarceration works.

That's great and all but I guess I'm just waiting for the plot to kick into gear. Maybe when we actually meet this Magus fellow. Right now we're just getting drunk with Ayla and dancing and going to find who stole our Gate Key.

When you create your attack combo, the way they chain together will have an impact on how fast it is. In general, you want your next attack to begin roughly where the preceding attack ended, like going Left Slash -> Right Slash. It seems really obvious and all, but some of the later attacks you learn have some funky animations, so you'll want to experiment (by kicking people in town  ). One-handed swords are great, two-handers are okay (axes suck balls), spears are dynamite.The two best accessories are to be equipped together: one increases your movement speed, and the other one limits you to speed-walking. Mosey everywhere. As for recruiting people, they aren't kidding when they say there's some really esoteric requirements. However, there's some tips that'll take the pressure off a bit:

I'm a little late to Suikochat, but I would like to point out that Suikoden V has Haud, and Suikoden III doesn't. In light of being reminded of this, I think we can all agree V is the superior.

I did lament the loss of specific targeting on wanzers, but it ultimately mattered pretty little because when you were playing as Elsa's team, you would just barrage every enemy with highly-coordinated missile batteries, and as Darril's team, nothing at all ever mattered because you were a group of mismatched bipedal gods of destruction

S5 has like one of the longest intros in all of gaming, but ultimately I think the setup pays off down the road. There's a lot of plot points thrown out that get revisited later, and it doesn't feel totally out of left field because of that intro.

corn in the bible posted:That's completely true -- Nintendo reps said they would fund its development if they had a playable demo to show off the game, which apparently shocked everyone because Square Enix always does the gameplay and demos last. They said that it really helped pull the teams together because they had to work stuff out in order to get the gameplay and engine working, and basically admitted that Square Enix's workflow is retarded Not disagreeing about S-E's workflow nor is the rest of what you said incorrect, but Xenoblade was developed by MonolithSoft.

Dragon Quarter's my favorite BoF for a variety of reasons, but the largest was how the restart system allowed for a really flexible style of play. If you were more of a grinder and a brute forcer, you could amass party EXP and faceroll the game, but if you played tactically and really thought out your battles, treating them more like a strategy game than an RPG, you could push really far on a single run, if not outright beat the game. Plus the dragon transformation was baller as gently caress and given how "dangerous" it was to use up your D-Counter, it felt appropriately powerful. Dropping 100k damage on Bosch's stupid loving face in a single turn always felt good. I'll agree, though, it didn't really need to be a Breath of Fire game.

One of my strongest memories of BOF4 was the first time I played it as a kid, and Ryu breaks his sword hitting that one dude in the face in the first town, shouting out "holy poo poo" and my mom scolding me for cursing. I explained why, and she nodded and replied "actually yeah that's a pretty holy poo poo moment"
