Clarste posted:Then you just don't switch to Iai stance in the first place? I can't see it being worth it to waste two turns switching back and worth. I'm not experienced with this game, but if Battou has the AOE skills, it could be worthwhile to switch back to Battou if you have a boss that doesn't start off with adds/mooks/minions, but summons them later in the fight at a specific HP threshold or after a certain amount of turns or something.

I'm proud of you. I wish only that when I joined SA at the ripe young age of far, far too young, that I had become cool as fast as you have, instead of taking until uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Aww. Thanks. Glad that we can make amends for my shithead days. God, I cringe so hard at myself back then. I was so dumb. Not anymore, though. I'm cool now.

Hmmmm. How does boss AI work in this game? Is it a set pattern of "use Flame Breath, then normal attack, then Claw Swipe, then go back to step 1"? Is it random what skills they use?

Jesus, that sucks. I do remember that on Gamefaqs, our old pal Dr. Fetus had did some datamining for the VFD classes and their skills, and the Samurai long-term slow self-buffs weren't bugged there, at least. Also, let me just quickly put on my 'Mythology Nerd' hat for a second and explain where the name "Murakumo" comes from. Murakumo is short for "Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi", aka "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven". It was the sword that the storm god Susano-o pulled out of the 8-headed serpent (not quite a dragon, but close) named Orochi after getting it drunk and beheading it. He presented it to his sister, the sun goddess Amaterasu, to make up for a feud, and it later became known as "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi" aka "Grass-Cutting Sword" while being used by the hero-prince Yamato Takeru.

I'm surprised that nobody has made any jokes about Richter being the group's Tuxedo Mask... and then who's Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako (for the record-Satsuki is Usagi, Mio is Ami, Koron is Rei, Youka is Makoto and Chisa is Minako. I will accept no substitutes.)

I do like the fact that no matter the class combo (assuming you keep a 3-man party the whole game instead of rotating around like LPers do) you have at least one person who can heal, either actively (Psychic), passively (Hacker) or through items (Trickster)

Araxxor posted:Incidentally, Samurai is basically the Fighter analogue while taking elements from Samurai as well, as 7DS Samurai was a lot like Ronin, and that's not exactly an ideal design for a simple offensive class. Trickster is basically the Rogue analogue. Psychics are a mish mash of Mage and Healer, while Destroyer... doesn't really have a direct analogue, they're pretty original. Though they do expand a lot upon the Samurai's Unarmed skill tree from DS. There's no analogue to the Knight though, as a defensive support like that was likely not ideal for a 3 man party, especially in a game that took out the row mechanics. And then VFD further remixes and makes weirder classes. Agent is Gun Trickster with Hacker tricks and fun combos with any class capable of elemental attacks, God Hand is Destroyer who can heal and buff, you've got classes with even weirder subsystems like Banisher's limited ammo count on top of Mana and playing card games with Duelist... Rune Knight has the fun and odd combo of being a healer, a berserker, a Dark Knight type and a mage all in one. Samurai can keep the Sheath/Unsheath mechanic but also mix it up with a new dual sword fighting style. Fortuner is a support class that can absolutely debilitate foes while keeping the party buffed and regenerating. The only class I'd say that stays mostly the same is Mage, which is just Psychic again. Like, VFD has issues, I'll fully admit it, but I do really love the classes, they're fun to play around with and have some neat experimentation.

Jakuri/Jaqcli is indeed awesome, but I never liked romancing her. While for the first Ar Tonelico I am a full 100% Aurica boy, I kind of flip-flop between Cloche and Luca for 2.

Will admit it is throwing me, coming from VFD, because that Samurai EX Skill animation is reused (loosely/roughly-the character models there have slightly less chibi-y proportions, plus the 3DS has more graphical fidelity than the PSP does) for the dual-wielding style there.

Oh it's not the reused assets that throw me-I've been seeing stuff that I saw first in VFD be reused since the first couple of updates-it's just that in my head I still associate that move being done by someone using two swords.
