It says 21h Eastern, but I'm pretty sure it said GMT-5. Right now it's daylight time, which is GMT-4. So that's 10P EDT. Sure would be nice if they'd just use local time, or list GMT and "server-local" or whatever. But even when they do, it's annoyingly inconsistent.

Ytlaya posted:One minor issue I have is that I do find the plot a bit harder to follow than Genshin's was. Genshin's main story is generally very straight-forward and introduces things to you pretty gradually, while this suddenly thrusts you into a scifi setting. I don't really have a firm grasp of the broader setting here, while in Genshin I could pretty quickly grasp "it's just a world with countries, and each country is lead/represented by a an elemental god (and there's probably other stuff going on, but it's not directly relevant to the plot yet)." It definitely has a real bad case of the Proper Nouns, but I sorta feel like they're just leaning on you being an "amnesiac" in their reluctance to actually explain anything. I hope this comes out for PS4/5 sooner rather than later — it feels a lot like the UI is getting in the way of itself, and I'm hoping this is just because I don't have a huge phone, and not that someone genuinely thinks it's good design to make you have to carefully avoid hitting some other button to hit another one. Thankfully, this has only felt especially bad in the character trials, so it's not too terrible. Mostly it's just got that classic onscreen controls shittiness, and there's not much of a way around that beyond supporting controllers (which doesn't seem to be an option?)

Unlucky7 posted:Are you able to return to the first area later? I see the big level 11 enemy and I do not have a healer yet, and I hestitate to pump up my current characters, not to mention that the required character is taking up a slot that probably be better served by another character for that particular fight. I managed it just fine the first time around, the only person who I leveled up was the spear guy, because the game forced me to. It's not too difficult, and the trial character helped trivialize it. I'm not terribly much further than you are, but I'm still hanging out in that space station, and there's no way they're not letting you come back, since the map's helpfully pointing out how many chests I've not opened (presumably all in areas it wouldn't let me go to). Hell, it was probably worthwhile to fight it and get some levels for doing so. e: ↓ They're plainly 3 different choices, that's fine.

Cirina posted:So I discovered that there's a secret game ending, which I really was not at all expecting. That was peculiar. Anyway I really like it when the games don't just dangle the option before you, but actually go through with it like that. Endorph posted:this game honestly feels 100x less obnoxious about it than genshin, you can advance earlier in lines, character animations are way snappier rather than every line being accompanied by a slow nod, dialog is largely way more to the point It's nice that I can just tap through dialogue, but slightly less nice when there's enough text that it's scrolled within its little text corral. Wonder what level I have to be to pick up my crap from that web event. Turns out you a) have to actually confirm it once you've started, and b) be level ??? (it didn't seem to say when I looked)

What level does the game expect you to be at once you leave the station? I've been milling around collecting stuff and doing quests, which made me begrudgingly level my dudes up to 10. But there's lv. 17 FOEs milling around, and I found some 19s. So I'm wondering if it's actually worth my while to bother with those or if I should just get on with it and start my exciting space adventures and come back later. Hell, I'm not sure I even have enough stuff to level anyone up that high.

If you don't talk to everyone, how are you going to hear all the writers calling themselves trash, or complaining about padding out nonsense with even more nonsense, only to be upstaged by someone better at padding out their writing with more nonsense? Probably nothing to read into there.

The correct philosophy is not to bully march, it's to pick the dialogue option that gives your traveler that fantastic smug face. Nine times out of ten, this is from bullying march. It's kinda annoying that add-on elements don't affect shields. I was all set to make use of this fox lady, but her electric addon not doing anything to shields makes it pretty hard to convince myself it's worth bringing her. Same goes for serval over herta, really. Doesn't help that these iceworld robots aren't just all weak to electric, you still have random things that are weak to wind or whatever the gold scale thing that isn't geo. I get wanting to make enemy design work with the team you're guaranteed to have, but it seems like a pretty massive penalty to not be able to break stuff, and that's a pain. Especially when the game seems rather keen on tossing you into battles without being able to see the encounter's weaknesses. Kyrosiris posted:

I swapped over to japanese to give that a listen and it's interesting how it's so much less cartoon-y sounding. I'm not really sure if I like a non-chirpy march, but the only real drawback for me is that you don't really get herta's various degrees of enthusiasm for spinning in the japanese track. Also I spent ages chasing astra's dog around the station to find astra's dog, and while that was a thoroughly underwhelming experience, it was far less annoying than realizing that "come back tomorrow" literally means "come back tomorrow," because this isn't genshin and you can't just make time pass. Now I wish to destroy the antimatter league for making it take three goddamn days to check the search history of some idiots. I have no idea why this annoys me more than stuff like handbills that only spawn a day after you've picked up the previous one, although it might be related to the fence guy by the theater, which is a series of encounters that are probably meant to be spread out over more than 15 minutes. Well, if nothing else I guess it'll prod me to carry on with the plot so maybe all my mans can become less underwhelming. At least I hope they do, even if it's just because I'll be able to fish up relics and fix gephard's energy issues. Dude's just kinda sad right now.

Garrand posted:I installed the japanese tracks solely to swap to when I put Herta on my team so I can listen to her go Kuru Kuru The various kuru's are nice, but they don't really sell me on her pure joy of spinning. Speaking of spinning, you can walk around in camera mode. Vast improvement over genshin, really lets you soak in those 'not nearly high-enough resolution' paintings and posters on the walls.'

Same. It's a shame I have no idea what 'date' it is, because I found a rehearsal schedule around there saying that the actress she voices was injured in some accident, and I've love to know if that's just an excuse for her not being in rehearsals or if time's looped in on itself. Also I now have a C5 Natasha. Why's the gacha gotta be like this, I haven't even left iceland yet. e. Adv. rank works like in genshin, right? Where if it's capped, the unrealized points are just banked until you uncap it? Story-wise I'm not allowed to get past 20 just yet, but I cannot possibly stop myself from talking to everyone and buying random crap that looks like it's for a quest and killing stuff to open chests.

Captain France posted:Holy poo poo. I like how she's way more excited when she gets to twirl more. Also I got her to lv 30 and got two of her cone and now herta alone's probably enough to tear through that, just slamming a diamond into some bird things and then twirling her way through whatever survived. I'm also pretty glad I noticed that serval and asta's 'aoe' are actually 'multiple hits, even if there's just one guy.' Means they'll tear through a single dude's shield, since the damage preview only reflects the shield damage of a single hit. Serval in particular is way better now that I can upgrade her skills and stuff. She was super underwhelming at 20/20.

 This game really is batting 1000…… Still a bit weird that it asked me if I was really sure I wanted to move characters around to do the mission I'd selected, but: a) nice to know that my guess was correct, and that's why genshin locks you out; and b) thank god that isn't a thing here, shame this'll never actually come to genshin because it's open world and that's a lot more trouble than just reconfiguring a train car.  Also I found a lady stuck in a robot.

I'm glad complaining works. Now I've got a hook, pela, qingque, and shushang to play with. …all of which came from the standard banner except qingque. Rate up total bullshit, as usual. Too bad they'll have to wait forever, because that stamina item seems rare as hell and I should probably save that for later (and never use it).

Xalidur posted:I play on Steam Deck via Moonlight about 90% of the time myself, but unlike Genshin the game doesn't play too badly on mobile. Looking forward to PS5 version anyway to cut out the middleman when I don't specifically need it to be portable. My only annoyance about it on mobile is that the camera controls are just like, the top half of the screen and that's slightly annoying when I want to move and look at stuff. So yeah, it'd be real nice to have it on playstation instead of the stupid way I've got it on pc. The radio thing was cool, except I found it when I wanted to turn off the game and instead I was standing around looking at a weird flat hologram radio for like 10 minutes. Since that triggered when I'd finally almost finished iceland, I assume the 'neat trick' is that the amber eras will pass faster as the game progresses, because you're doing stuff and that's probably related to whatever that god's trying to wall out.

But I'm not quite sure because I got theater stalking, then the space station lady who can't talk, then I got the wubbus, presumably because that's when I actually did that quest line. But then today I got more theater stalking. I suppose I'll know in 3 days if it's just a separate set of 3 questlines or not.

Black Griffon posted:So what's the play after getting Seele? Hold on to my specials and wait for the next banner? Or mindlessly keep pulling in hopes of getting someone new, realizing you're real close to that next 50/50 and then winning it again, leading to mild annoyance. It's fine. I really wish I could figure out what type of damage each area wants; all I can really determine is that it feels like every fight has something weak to wind/imaginary, but that's plainly just because I don't have/didn't bring one. I'm running around space china with sushang, qingque, fire-me, and natashalol already e-6 and it's mostly fine, so they're my priority for ascensions just now (since I can't actually manage the FOEs at 40/40 now). But I do feel like the game badly wants me to be wandering around with march and dan, even if he's insisted on staying home and then changed his mind and is off having his own adventures. Well, March has suddenly gone up in my priority list because I know she's got a debuff cleanse that I suddenly have a desperate need for. But is there anyone in particular I should prioritize ascensions/boss-item needing traces for besides those 4?

Sometimes the trail you blaze is over the feelings of a chirpy anime. It's fine, she probably likes it. It's not like anyone else on the ship's really going to humor her.Draxion posted:Natasha also has a debuff cleanse, if you're already using her get that one. Yeah, I'll see if she needs an annoying boss fight for it (although I guess if I ascend enough people I can just outrace the 2nd phases). I was going to just drag March along because I already unlocked her cleanse and I vaguely recall ice being a weakness element for something in the fight.

I vaguely assumed that was because she's secretly a god or whatever term they have for god-touched people. But that's also based on assuming it's doing something weird like rating things based on how human they are, which only sorta works for like, tingyun or herta's dolly. It was a nice touch that the trailblazer's score is your starting ATK, though. e: Ibblebibble posted:For some reason there's another "unknown" category where it doesn't refuse to give a rating, it just skips the line that has the rating.

I am a little disappointed I needed to actually do the daily quest for this idiot kid's ghost story about a toilet.

I'm 430 Hertareum, 180 Shields and many, many Strales (naturally, quests there are only half-available) from buying out the respective local shops, and I've already exhausted sidequests like mine-cart wrangling and compass twirling. Mostly wandering around talking to people until you stumble on a quest to go mining or fix someone's emotional support robot or find a vase to fill with trash or whatever. There's plenty of hidden quests, as opposed to someone sending you an sms asking for help. But it's all in the oldschool rpg way where you gotta rub your face on everything.
