If you do all of that you get to see the final ending which resolves one big thing and also gives you a small nod to one small thing.

I 100%ed this game the other day and it was great. Got both endings and the special extended ending, and the "curtain call", all on Hard difficulty all the way. Picked up a copy of Grand Kingdom afterwards which I plan on messing with after I play Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

Not sure why people didn't like Oswald, he remains the funnest (for me, anyway.) I think the idea really is to just stay in shadowform and spam with him though, he just does silly damage. The only thing I had trouble with was the Horn Mountain rock golems. He has real issues with those. Jumping to lvl 1 Velvet after murder-beasting for the past few hours is kinda rough!

The gameplay is what kept me from getting really into the first one but they've fixed it so now it's really cool and good. I'm taking a two week break due to travel before I hit the Doomsday chapter, I feel like I never got a good feel for Velvet. Pretty much every boss fight took a while. Is there a particularly good way to grind up phozons and whatever else? I'm guessing rank 9 xtra phozons but I remember getting quite a few from stuff like the ooze fights because so many enemies. Same for bumping up materials, I guess it's pretty much just grind for stuff like cocoa?

this game is great and has even better combat than Muramasa, which I loved. I can't wait for Vanillaware to tell us more about that mech game they are making next.

I've really disliked playing as Oswald, even more than Mercedes. At least she had a playstyle change up with being focused on range, Oswald's just a worse version of the two other brawlers, even with berserker mode Part of it's probably fatigue from hard mode tho, I ended up switching down to normal after struggling all through Winterhorn mountain

Finally sat down and finished it out, got the true final ending, had a blast. Velvet's last trial was a fun challenge! The only boss in the Armageddon rush I really dislike is Gallon because it takes forever and you have to do it every time ugh. But yeah, great game, A+++ would recommend to anyone who likes beat-em-ups. I still like Oswald.  Honest Gwen is probably my least favorite because of how her flying mechanic works, it makes perfect sense for the character but the time-to-turn and it's hard to get her to land where you need her to. That's not saying much though because I like everybody. O D I N S P H E R E Probably going to go plat it tonight, just missing a couple of the 'eat three times' things.

Velvet is super cool and I like basically all of her physicals and then how easily her first psypher move stunlocks things. Her movement's weird and really forces you to commit to going somewhere because of big windups before it actually happens, but I'm digging it for now

mistaya posted:I still like Oswald. I think Gwendolyn is intended to ease new players into the game somewhat. She has the least twitchy movement which is good since you don't have to track your own flipping around while also learning enemy movement patterns, and she's also the tankiest character with her shield and all those ice moves that immobilize enemies.

I'm glad she had her aerial moveset though. It's one of the twitchiest in the game and you can air combo for days.

Lol I got ganked on the last bar of Velvet's Armageddon boss, down to normal for the refight we goooo Since I'm probably getting the ~true ending~ tonight, what's there to do once that's over with? I see that I'm only at 50% trophies with 2 bosses to go in the ending. Also, should Maurie's food trophy have shown up by now? I thought I had eaten one of everything, but idk if there's postgame recipes or something

There's a few recipes that you only get by eating three of certain dishes. Also you need to get a single character to level 65 for the all abilities trophy, and you'll need to play through Armageddon a few more times to get all the scenes. There's also a postgame boss rush.

I just beat this game, got the good ending. The final boss rush was tiresome though. For the entire game beforehand, the key to success with everybody but mercedes was literally "spam the pow attack that hits a bunch while wearing vamp ring, power stone, and mars bangle." Then none of the last bosses are solid so all those sweet-rear end multi-hit moves just fly right through things. I was on normal so it wasn't any trouble but it did slow things down considerably. Went back and read the thread and I am really surprised people were having trouble with Oswald. His multi-stab attack is the best out of anyone's and you can just do disgusting damage between that and the pp skill that also zerks you. None of my boss fights during his chapter lasted more than a minute and a half. Also surprised to see complaints about grinding. I never had issues staying on-level with the areas I was in and I never grew food that wasn't fed entirely by rosemelie's. I did bee-line gourmet first thing every time though. I aggressively ate food at Moury's and the pooaka cake and I also cleared out whole levels though. On the whole I liked it a lot, it's a huge improvement over the ps2 version.

Because Leifthrasir is an actual thing in Norse mythology and makes perfect sense with the game's setting and story.

I've played the first 2 stories and finding very hard to start the third one. Grinding a lot of food to eat 100+ dishes and a lvl 9 Yoghurt at once is a pain. I know that I don't need to, but how can I say no to getting 40+ levels at once

You definitely don't need to go that far, though I would at least recommend saving as much money as possible in all stages prior then sinking it into top-tier ingredients to hand off to Maury along with the Yoghurt potion. Until you reach that point you can basically do whatever you like. I didn't really go super optimizing on Gwendolyn and she still came out a similar level to everyone else, just lacking skill levels because I hadn't been sucking everything into Phozon potions.

Yeah, I did 90% of Cornelius without using the restaurant and my only problem area was the twin shadows miniboss. I think the main problem is that I don't like Mercedes weapon and I'm trying to find an excuse to avoid playing as her. Valentine Coins are shared between all characters, right?

I only saw that this had released a few days ago, but it looks like it's worth buying the game for a third time. Does it change up the core loop of the first one where you suffer through to unlocking the forest and kitchen, stop to spend several hours on a mulberry/yogurt farming spree so you can survive, then play through the rest normally? That was what killed my attempts to replay the original.

You don't ever have to stop for extra resources like that, no. Just as long as you're eating at Maury's whenever possible, and spending all your V-bucks between levels.

That was what killed my attempts to replay the original. The new combat system gives you such a huge amount of tools that you can pretty much punk the game forever on Normal difficulty. Some fights will give you pause on Hard but by and large it's just good old slaughter-everything fun.
