The healing sound from absorbing HP gets really old, especially with how many hits you can deal. It's too bad they didn't tone it down in some way. I forgot how much of a jerk Mercedes looks like before you get to her chapter and see the poo poo she's going through.

She's still a jerk for most of that too, though.

True. But knowing the details helps a little. I'm probably just being influenced by the ending, if I'm remembering what happened right.

Stelas posted:Cleaned away the game in one long push today. What a good remake, but man, the final bosses kind of felt like afterthoughts compared to some of the trials. Cornelius' propechy boss barely did anything, which was probably for the best since I had poo poo-all levelled up that could hit aerial targets without going right through them. I ended up mashing it down with normals.

Rascyc posted:Those bosses do kinda suck yeah, but they are made worse if you fight with them with their prophecy characters except for Velvet's. If you fight with them others they are a bit more fun at least. I dunno. I mean, Cornelius' sucked, but Oswald's was fine once I found a place to stand to easily hit his head. Mercedes has Spirit Call and Infinite Ammo at that point so she didn't care about a drat thing, and Gwyn's seemed totally suited to a lot of aerial motion. Velvet's was easy, but only because I'd decided the Hello I Am A Helicopter move was worth using. Without it I can see it being a bit harder.

I got stuck on the drat Cauldron for a literal hour. Even with Overdrive potions it would take like 20 minutes to get it down to its final health bar, at which point I'd keep getting killed by the drat tiny missile barrage when the core is exposed. Worst loving boss fight.

I finished the Cauldron off first try and I'm satisfied as is given the afternoon it alone stole back in the PS2 days. Just stood at the top and used Round Flare to break everything up there rather easily. Jumped down to the plug (  ) and used the early spell that throws crawling fire on the ground as well as flame road and just beat on it with spiral drive. It took like 3-4 minutes but was relatively painless. Had a lot more trouble with Gwendolyns though as I forgot my set up with her entirely and it's a rare example of a boss unable to be stunlocked to hell and back.

It's very possible that you are somehow cancelling the cast before they're fired off. Are you still getting the startup animation for it?

How did you bind it then? As the first four unregistered ones shown on the skill screen are 'free binds' and as such work regardless of whether or not you're in the air. Furthermore unregistered binds shouldn't conflict with it if you just have the ice spell on circle and nothing else. edit: questioning when it's midnight weeeee InfinityComplex fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Jun 20, 2016 |

Man, I haven't even finished Gwendolyn's story yet and I'm already caught reminiscing about all my thoughts back when I played the original. They did a really good job keeping the feel of it. The redone combat is pretty great too. A lot more flexible and exciting.

Mercedes is just loving ridiculous. Banshee call, Spirit call, and whatever the other one is coupled with a vampire ring just turns the entire screen into a math book. Also the Mandragora skill sounds worthless but just use it, it works on any that you throw on the ground so you end up with some hilarious army of flailing freaked out vegetables all over the place.

Finished armageddon on the flight back home and although as a whole its a really powerful collection of scenes that ties most of the thing together, I cant help but feel that Mercedes was absolutely hosed over it. Yeah yea shes annoying for most of the game but having her mature as a character from a completely ignorant little girl hunting frogs to a competent leader of her country and completely humiliating Odin only to have her die in despair having just seen the man she loved dead seemed like worst possible outcome for her. Sure her actions guarantee that the world doesnt get hosed over again by Onyx later on but she never gets to see it happen unless shes sentient in tree form.

Velvet is one of the easiest characters to play and frankly I think she breaks any difficulty over her knee with only one or two moves. Here's my first attempt at the chapter 6 boss with her It's on normal but should still show what I mean

Her fire attack that rolls through the floor combined the the spiral drill will carry the game for you. You'll want to upgrade the one where she spins around with her whip on both ends too for stationary mobs. Fire pillar is also good I guess.

She goes from kinda sucky to god mode once you get the drill. Just tough it out until then. I liked the very first fire bullet skill myself. Until you get drill I just used the first chain move and the grab that flips people around.

So basically what I've been doing already: relying on one or two skills that hit the most often and cheesing away. She's definitely my personal favorite of all the characters, and is the most fun to play IMO. Thanks!

Velvet has a skill that's like "does more damage the further away you are from enemies" but all her skills shove her against enemies so I spent a good portion of time wondering what exactly I was doing wrong. Then I noticed it only added like, +10 or so to my damage at best and decided not to worry about it and just cheese away with her insanely broken moves. I honestly think it goes Cornelius > Velvet > Gwen > Mercedes > Oswald in how easy it is to break the game. I still don't understand what I should be doing with Oswald whenever I go back and play as him- he attacks soooo slowly when he's not in berserk mode that he's auto delisted to A rank most of the time, and as a Berserker he doesn't get the same air-time on hits that the others do so when enemies float or whatever it's all about jumping up and down in place trying to hit things. He has a million different passive boosts so I don't know what attacks are actually useful.

Okay, so I finished the game, and it's just been stuck on one screen. Am I supposed to reset or something? I didn't think we had to do that since the N64 days. edit: Nevermind, my controller just died  Rascyc posted:super duper true ending So I know that the idea is to match the right fighters to the right bosses, but does this lead to the same thing, or is there somehow an ending further beyond that?

Double post, but I saw everything in the game, finally. About the last scene, is the Curtain Call supposed to imply something about the world? Did it somehow reset to before the apcalypse, or is it just a bonus thing? Otherwise, is Alice's world supposed to be ours, or somehow the one that came after Erion? And who is the guy talking to, and why are they supposed to be writing Odin Sphere? Prolly overthinking this, but I'm curious. edit: And is there anything else after unlocking all the scenes?
