I'm tempted to name our hero Marche, but I'm not that terrible a person.

This game has a cool story and concept but godawful mechanics.

not even getting the cool class for my self-insert generic was worth that.

You usually get a big red letters "low loyalty" before that.

One of the many mechanics I hate about this game.

I love this post, and this movie.


Nothing of the sort sadly. No warning, just straight up "gently caress this poo poo, I'm out"

I had decided I wanted to grind a little to bump up the levels after the difficult fights at the end of the last chapter. Did one fight in the wildwood and that popped up and she left, I checked the loyalty of everyone else and they weren't far behind her.

It's ok though!



I'm not going to lie, the loyalty mechanic made me quit the game.

I'm legitimately not sure why firing on people who attack your team decrease loyalty (yes I get the whole chaos frame thing) but it's pretty bad!

Swordmaster in this game is terribad, but Ninja Hobyrim will absolutely destroy anything he gets into melee with.

The Palace of the Dead is what finally got me to put down the game, and I legitimately did the Galgastani Death March because I am a moron who loves necromancers.

I can't say this enough, you don't actually need to death march 90% of the time. You can get special character though enough choices in the story to prevent death march.

Some of the story choices we haven't touched yet though so I'll hold off. But honestly if you are death matching you are doing it wrong.

I...what....DAMMIT!

Yeah this is where interest in playing the game usually dies as it becomes a grindly slog.

I got in long enough to turn the generic named after me into a lich and quit.

TheGreatEvilKing
Mar 28, 2016





I remember them doing a pile of damage with a not-so-great range.

Then again I was an insane man who ground a lich to augment fire 7, so maybe I should shut up.

There's a specific setup where you get a map with 3 clerics and set your mage to auto-battle. The mage will throw their lamest, weakest version of elemental *missile*, the clerics will outheal that but not actually hurt the mage, you go wander off and make a sandwich and come back to your powerful crazy town nukers.

I didn't manually grind it out, that's insane.

Someone had fun writing that quest. Shame its hidden behind so much arcane silliness.

TheGreatEvilKing
Mar 28, 2016





She would also make the Necromancer class worth using as I recall.

Don't feel bad about burning out, this game has so much arcane bullshit it's a miracle you're still going.

Thanks for the LP, I don't blame you at all for skipping Palace of the Dead and the rest of that crap. That's just soul-crushing lovely tedium.

TheGreatEvilKing

I always wonder who comes up with this crap in game design meetings.

"Ok...they have to collect a specific item hidden in an optional dungeon, THEN make it to floor 22 of the repetitive agonizing post-game dungeon"

The room is stunned silent. A single, solitary tear runs down the director's cheek.

"This is the greatest idea I have ever heard of. Let's waste hours of developer and QA time on this. Truly, I am a genius."

There is like 1 useful necromancy spell, and it's the one that deals damage and gives you mana equal to damage dealt.

It's also fairly useful if your only Augment X is darkness, but gently caress that system to hell!

To add to the jealousy thing, IIRC Vyce has it bad for Catua who has it bad for Denam.

Meanwhile some of us just want to be liches.
