I'm on day 7 and the text messages are the funniest thing so far, me* got the biggest chortle just because I'm tired and it just hit me. Only thing I'm having trouble with is figuring out how pins get assigned. It only let me use 2 charges and 1 distance and 1 melee and okay, drowning in different distance pins, but got that uber pin and equipped it to Rin to try it out. Now he can no longer go back to the old pins I had him set up with and Mina is in a really uncomfortable spot to use his so a lot of it falls to one or the other and I kind of just want to go back to what I had before. If I go to my master pin list it's only letting me put distance stuff on Nagi and I'm just ??? at this point.

I had a really weird glitch once where I couldn't change pins except from the recommended options but closing the menu and reopening it again it was fine and I could change pins as normal. Also as far as i'm aware the only limitation for pins is that you can't have multiple with the same input. Otherwise it's totally free form.

Where on the menu is the option to return to previous days anyway (and is there a way to bail out early and return to the present)? Also in regards to the second point, if you complete a sidequest on a previously completed day and then eject without finishing the day itself will said sidequest still be counted as completed? At least they added the ability to skip cutscenes you previously watched this time at least. Also how much of a postgame does NEO have? Is it just Another Day (and how does that work this time around) Larryb fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Jul 28, 2021 |

There's a difference depending on how you select pins - if you press the confirm button on a party member's equipped pin it will only give you a list of equippable pins (so everything that is blocked by other party members is filtered out). If you just push down instead of confirm you'll get the full list, and if you select an incompatible pin the affected party member will get your old one assigned instead.

YggiDee posted:I missed a sidequest in Day 5, I don't wanna redo Day 5 Yeah, this one feels pretty bad  specially because I noticed it just when the time travel stuff started, so i got like a third or whatever of the day to go through, knowing that i can't reach the part of the map needed for it. And with how these sidequests are working and that map looks, I gotta assume there's a half dozen folk locked behind that one i missed.

I thought I was steamrolling poo poo pretty hard so I bumped things up to hard and kept on steamrolling, but then I ran into my old friend Mr Shark from TWEWY DS in a three part chain battle and got literally killed in one attack in Round 2. Glad you’re doing alright Mr. Shark, you sucked then and you suck now!

My problem with shark Noise is less their damage-dealing capability, and more how annoying it is to pull them out of the water. Wastes a lot of time, which is really not cool during a Dive.

Even on Easy the game seems a lot less stingy about handing out EXP than it’s predecessor did. Sharks are still annoying though (until you can pull them out of the “water” that is) Also as it hasn’t happened to me yet what happens when you lose a fight? Do you go back to right before the battle or are you given the option to retry/reload from your last save ala the Kingdom Hearts series?

Easy just reduces the damage you take by 50%, it doesn't increase the damage you deal. For the privilege of that plus bad pin drops, you...get your EXP and PP halved.

Lance Lunge pins are sadly very few and far between. Even when you do get later ones, they do not last anywhere near as long as Honor and Sacrifice does.

Larryb posted:Yeesh, so what’s the advantage of playing on Ultimate then? Better pin drops/EXP? A lot of the high-end pins (including, importantly, one of this game's equivalent of the Darklit Planets set) are locked behind super low-chance drops on Ultimate. That's the main incentive. You can also only farm Scarletite, one of the two postgame-only material pins, through drops on Ultimate. The only other sources are one (1) pig, and TOKYU HANDS 3F, which only sells a limited amount. Rea fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jul 28, 2021 |

Scarletite was kind of a nasty trick from the first game, because you got loads from story events and therefore it was easy to assume it wasn't a super limited resource. Does this game do anything similar?

Does this game do anything similar? Not particularly? The elementary particle material pins (Axion, Dilaton, Dibaryon, Sfermion) are the closest thing to original game Scarletite, but they're given out through non-farmable sources (Scramble Slam first-time rewards, pigs, scenario rewards, etc.), so as long as you find every source of them, you're not gonna miss out on anything that requires them. You don't have to grind a shitload of other materials to get them, like you did with the original game's Scarletite.

I'm fond of Massive Hit (the big charge kick; it has real good synergy with lance lunge) and the Rock drop so far. Massive Hit is also good for Sharks! Gotta wait for them to try to attack, but it's a great combo starter if you can't hit the fin fast enough.

So far I’ve only ever found the two mentioned above

Jeez, (D6) getting Scramble Slam points is awful. Nearly cleared the map entirely and I have barely 10k despite hitting reduction 4 chains and getting a 5x combo bonus regularly. How are you supposed to even get close to 60k?

Speaking of Scramble Slam, it seems like you have the opportunity to make certain choices during the match (like teaming up with one group against another). As such, does what you do during a slam have any major effect on the story going forward (like making certain social links easier to get or something)?

Moving on to Day 6, Scramble slam is ongoing and annoying to get points for. It looks like you have to individually make each turf noise a 5 chain and really lay into it with the combos but most things just don't have the health for that, my kingdom for more sharks honestly. Plotwise... I mean it's very obvious that we have more weeks coming here to deal with all the questions being raised but that the gang isn't curious as to how the Ruin Bringers are always on top is slightly annoying given that they never take part in the missions and in fact sit whole days out. The whole Reapers Game is also noticeably less brutal then the originals but I guess that one wasn't quite running as normal... interested to see where this goes.

Also Brooding Bunny (or the pin it evolves from anyway) is a pretty good pin for Nagi. It takes a bit to charge but you can wrack up some extra damage by switching to another character while the boomerangs are tearing into your target. The enemy damage reduction you get from playing on Easy can have its advantages despite what others said before (for example, I was able to clear a Noise chain about 6 levels above where I was at the time without much difficulty and I’m on the end of Week 1 with zero deaths). Pin drops are irrelevant when you’re already nigh immortal and don’t care about 100% completion. Speaking of, to save me some time searching where’s the boss of Week 1 Day 7 hiding (in fact is there just a complete walkthrough of this game somewhere so I don’t have to keep asking these questions)?
