I keep reading "this skill only applies to standard attacks/standard attacks are not really a thing in this game". I can understand that they screwed up status infliction, but it annoys me that the game creators can't keep track on whether or not their own game encourages the player to use standard attacks. Anyway, even though this game has the skill system, I'm getting the impression that the meat of the customization lies in setting up the party rather than customizing the individual characters.

Since the races are bound to the classes, I'm not sure they have any mechanical significance at all.

Then weapon speed modifiers are a bit funny. Apparently, if a guy with a knife fights a guy with a spear, the knife guy is expected to get the first attack.

One point of strength increases Scott's damage with 1,2% while one point of agility increases his damage with 1%. That said, if you keep adding more and more strength and agility in equal quantities, eventually agility will grant more damage. Strength has the problem that damage is proportional to the square root of it while agility has the problem that damage is proportional to it + a constant and that Scott has more of it than strength.

The escape formula does indeed look very weird. Ether your escape rate is very good with 85% or more chance to escape or you have a rather lovely chance of escaping unless you really rack up the number of turns. With a formula of 40 + 40 * sin (A * 0.075 + 0.82), you hit the 80 mark at close to A = 70. So, it looks like a formula that's supposed to go from -31 to 69, only they cut it off at A = 10, at which point you gain the benefit of having 60 more AGI and LUC than you actually do. If they want to cut of the formula at -32 and 10, then 40 + 40 * sin (A * 0.075 + 0.82) would have made more sense.

Well, we can then also discuss how the game mishandles weapons and armor as well. I do understand though that the more you know about a subject, the more annoying it becomes when games miss-educate people.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Also, that is a very huge, Sephiroth-sized katana. And a lightsaber, apparently. Anyway, it's ridiculous how much behind the gladiator got. Is the culprit the subclass system? Both Scott and Sidney are subbing gladiator while Rose obviously isn't since she's already one. Naturally, the gladiator was balanced with the gladiator skills taken into account while the Buccaneer and the Arbalist were probably not.

kvx687 posted:Well, it obviously involves befriending the Deep Ones somehow, since they're the only remaining faction, and the emissary said something about proving that the two races could live together... I'm guessing you'd have to get to the Porcelain Woods without ever killing a Deep One, and then probably a fetch quest or something to prove your sincerity? Anyway Amoroad.

I think that the very first part of the path towards the true ending makes sense, promise Olympia to keep the city a secret and then break that promise. Playing by both sides (and hopefully milk them for as much information as possible) makes sense enough. I would go so far and say that the third path should have been about you playing by both sides and that way get a more complete picture of what's going on than you would if you stick to one side only. Now, the happy ending could have easily felt less forced if the writers had been willing to make the deep prince stay evil. Make it so that in order for him to escape, he needs both the power he lent the princess back and he needs the deep city king dead. Originally he planned to corrupt the princess and hope this would eventually lead to the king's death and her being his puppet. However, once the adventurers came by, he saw another opportunity. The adventurers saw a tragedy, a sister who loves her brother, but said brother cannot remember her and wants to kill her. What he he offered the adventurers a way to "cure" both of them? What the cure really does is to disconnect them from their respective source of power. The princess' power would be returned to him and the seal on his prison would be weakened just as if the deep city king was killed. That way, the happy ending becomes a bait he uses to trick the adventurers into freeing him.

If the Pale Horse are about safety first, they should all be hoplites and monks. Personally, I find the image of a guild that has ridiculous defense, but almost no fire power and therefore really slowly whittles their enemies down more amusing than a guild that uses nothing but farmers just because.

If there are clones in the battle, then Damage per hit = (Base Damage * Skill Multiplier) ^ (2 * Number of clones) This should probably be Damage per hit = (Base Damage * Skill Multiplier) * 2 ^ Number of clones

Let's see the strategy to fight it in a longer battle. First off, equip all party members with the Ribbon accessory to prevent all status effects. Make two characters elemental damage dealers and two physical so that if the boss switches to defensive form at random, only two of them will be killed. The fifth uses the weak weapon trick. Equip one representative from the elemental and physical damage dealers each with final attack + phoenix materia combo so that they immediately get back on their feet after being counter cheesed. Whoever has the lowest Max HP should probably be the one with the weak weapon and have a final attack + revive materia combo. Seriously though, what the heck?

Electric Chair I'm curious how the Yggdroids will handle it. I do have some ideas after looking trough their skillset, but I'm not able to figure out an actual strategy. This reminds me, the Yggdroids sounds like really fun concept in another game where you don't have a skillpoint system and therefore can have a lot more skills available.

If you're only going to do one execution, can you add a short summary of the other execution methods?

The firing squad gotta be the Gladiator/Shogun combo employing the Warrior's Might cheese. I think we voted for the method that requires the most explaining.
