Every time I get a new job, I'll be switching one character over to that job. So eventually I'll be running with an all-chapter 1 job team, then all-chapter 2, and so on. That way every job gets a fair shake in the spotlight.

How badly does that handicap you? That is, aren't there bonuses for being a higher job level even discounting the abilities, that you'll be missing out on through constant job rotation?

So I was going through the jobs again, and I forgot: What's the diference between the White Mage's Epic Group-Cast and the Black Mage's Group-Cast All?

the White Mage's Epic Group-Cast: spell effects don't diminish when you group-cast them.

the Black Mage's Group-Cast All: group cast even normally non group-cast magic.

e;f,b.

Years later, and EPMs, emote is still kicking. Also, I hate the merchant job. Why should I spend my hard earned pg, when I can just light stuff on fire, stab, or punch it to death?

How many other jobs have a literal infinite money loop though?

Yes, but it's super slow. As in, "rubber band down the A button and leave the game running overnight" slow, IIRC. Unless I'm sorely mistaken it gives double-digit healing (and thus pg) each use.
You are - the videos I saw show 1100-1500.

You still want the rubber band.

No dualcast. Sad!

Dual cast is redundant with the brave/default system, so red mags gets bp-manipulating abilities in exchange.

I love that they gave the pirate the traditional pirate accent, but named him after Turkish corsair Hayreddin Barbarossa and not, like, Blackbeard.

..."Redbeard" isn't that far away from "Blackbeard."

Yep. The latter part is going to be a lot of "I'm playing this so you guys don't have to."

Yeah, I have a save file for this game pretty much where you'd expect someone to say "gently caress this, I'm out."

Honestly, while I understand that the "repeating your quest" thing might not be for everyone, I never felt like it grated on me, perhaps because I found it paid off in a pretty spectacular manner in the end. But that's just me.

I'm curious to see that spectacular manner, because about 2-3 more updates from now is where I said "gently caress this game."

Got a source for that? I know it stimulates the neurons that detect heat or abrasion. In turn that can cause inflammation with a large enough dose, which on the one hand means more blood flow and on the other hand the possibility of a toxic interaction. But I don't remember anything about directly creating heat. What would be the mechanism for that, oxidation?

Shortcircuits a particular muscle protein.

quote:

Yasser Mahmoud has found that capsaicin can create "heat" in a more direct manner by altering the activity of a muscle protein called SERCA. Normally, muscle contraction initiates following the release of a wave of calcium ions from a compartment called the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR); SERCA then actively pumps the calcium back into the SR (using ATP energy), causing muscle relaxation and renewing the cycle.

Capsaicin, however, can attach to SERCA and "uncouple" this pumping activity; that is, the protein still burns ATP energy but doesn't use it to pump calcium. Instead, all the ATP energy is given off as heat. This uncoupling, known as thermogenesis, is one important method of staying warm and is most often seen in hibernating animals.

Mahmoud notes that capsaicin is the first natural compound known to augment the thermogenesis process .

So I had been meaning to play this game for a good while, and seeing this lp got me to actually grab a copy of this game.

I binged it in like 2 months

I started the same way but couldn’t get past Chapter...5? One of the repeating ones but after the shape of the plot is very clear to everyone not a protagonist.
