Support NeoGAF

[SoraanTribal]

If I have one complaint so far, it's what you can't enter most of the buildings in the towns so far. I don't know what it is about more recent JRPGs this past gen or so, but so many of them have just had towns be window dressing for the most part. I miss the days of being able to enter almost every building I saw, talking to NPCs, grabbing a few potions/gil/money, etc. I mean, I'm still loving the game so far, but kind of an annoyance, even if it's a small one.

 

[Niraj]

Just got Rinabel.

"Can I join you?"

"No. Also, you disgust me beyond words."

I love this game.

That cracked me up lol

 

[Gaz_RB]

Man that option to summon friends is crazy powerful. I just summoned this one guy and he did like 2500 damage, destroying this boss I was fighting in no time. Normally I'd have just died and grinded but I hadn't saved in a while so I just dropped the summon on him.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

My copy just arrived. I can't wait to get started.

 

[MacGurcules]

Visited three stores to get a copy. I wouldn't have figured this game was quite so niche.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Game is amazing. This is a game. Not a lame. I love all the options and how you can make it as easy or as hard as you want. Can't wait to make my berserker.

 

[Loco4Coco]

What does adding friends through FC do?

 

[DarkChronic]

If you really want to know, I've tried to explain in the spoilered text in a way that hopefully retains a bit of mystery.

Spoiler

You start getting hints less than halfway through the game that Airy's not being totally upfront with the team. You can still keep playing and get enough reveals and revelations to enjoy the game, I think.

Definitely reassuring. Thank you!

Anyway, how good is the dungeon music? WOW. I am really loving this game, so far.

 

[LowParry]

Man, this game has some difficulty circles all over the place. Which I like. Gotta level up those toons. Though I kinda miss having the ability to rest up at the end of a dungeon. But eh, the grind shall continue! (Having the option to turn up encounters is a godsend for leveling).

I was just about to post about this. I was testing out the feature with some "guest" summons on the very first boss fight. Ended up 1-shotting one of the pair, and I decided to actually fight the other one normally, lol.

Is there any limit on summons?

One time use until the person you summoned re-uploads them I believe.

That's actually one thing I like so far. I've always hated having to explore towns because it was just tedious filler for me

One time use until they send a new attack.

 

[Barristan Selmy]

Hey everyone, just downloaded this last night, been looking forward to it. None of my friends have this game though, can you guys add me?

FC: 3351 4223 3557

 

[LowParry]

That's done through the save options with uploads right?

 

[Kadin]

Have a lot on my list atm apparently. Oops. I'll post again when I have room to add more.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I think you send the attack during battle. People receive it when they update their data. I think.

 

[demidar]

Hard is actually hard now, that first subquest beat the fuck out of me, and the second fight is even worse. So much HP.

 

[picklecannon]

Summon friend ability from the battle menu. You can choose to send attacks from there. At first I was hesitant because I didn't want to lose my special attack so I tried it out on some fodder enemies and you still get the attack and you send it to your friends at the same time.

 

[Vamphuntr]

The items you buy from Norende are so OP early on. Is it me or is black magic weak in this game? I'm in the very beginning of Chapter 2 and when my thief brave x 4 and attack x 4 I deal over 3000 points of damage. When my black mage brave x 4 and use a black magic the enemy is weak against X 4 i do about 1500 damage total.

Ohhhh. Very cool then. Suppose it a matter of keeping those up and active with folks.

Does everyone have Black Resonance?

I've always found magic will pale in comparison to regular attacks in most games though.

 

[Lumination]

I think I just internet-passed duckroll.

"nyanpasu~"

No, I'm not really using black magic as a secondary command on other characters. Does it makes a much bigger difference? I don't think it's worth it to "waste" a secondary command when it doesn't seem much useful so far.

I think I'm going to try to level Time Mage soon instead.

Black magic sure is great for getting around Protect spells. Also helps to equip a weapon that increases M. Atk. My White Mage deals more magic damage than my Black Mage (but my Black Mage sure is good at punching stuff).

 

[atbigelow]

Just got the knight job. Really digging this so far, as expected.

 

[SoraanTribal]

Ah, that was something I always looked forward to when I got to a new town - fully exploring it. :/ Exploring towns has always been pretty optional though and not something you had to do.

 

[joe2187]

Was surprised to find out that Agnes is voiced by Erin FItzgerald, I noticed her chie voice in one of the characters in the opening, didnt know she did Agnes as well.

She's been in every game I've played for the last two years!

Likewise I found the Knight Boss is the same VA as Ziggurat 8 from the Xenosaga series.

 

[Dice]

Passively building my town as I can't focus on playing right now, I'm running into some good stuff.

Spoiler

Going off to fight a fire mage soon? My fire resist and water sword will be ready.

 

[Busaiku]

Wow, Yulyana Woods looks awesome.

well, other classes that you have at that point probably don't have nearly as much Intelligence as Black Mages, so yes that probably does make a difference

but Black Magic is weak in this game anyway

 

[B.K.]

Or maybe setting no exp gain while developing the basics of a new job is a good idea.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I want to level up jobs to get more abilities, but I don't want to be overlevelled and make the game too easy.

 

[terrisus]

Mrgrgr.

 

[massoluk]

Just started this game, just wanting to say thank to Gaffers I already have friended on my 3DS, you guys make my game so much easier that it felt like cheating.

 

[The Ps4 Looks Great]

Amazing, I usually dislike the "ladies man" in rpgsbecause they are usually lame as hell, but ringabell is the bees knees

 

[Busaiku]

Dang, Ringabel going HAM.

 

[F0rneus]

I think I may have hallucinated a feature or something. I was under the impression that you could switch Auto on and off on the map. It's only turning it off right?

 

[Dice]

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I want to level up jobs to get more abilities, but I don't want to be overlevelled and make the game too easy.

Yeah, my experience with these sort of systems is that I either fully enjoy experimentation and become overleveled, or I go through the story at normal pace and see like 1/4 of what I'd like to with the systems. So far the only game to avoid this trap was Disgaea, which is essentially endless so it kinda doesn't count. The difficulty, battle frequency, and development adjustments you can make with this game are genius.

 

[RurouniZel]

I've added a lot of GAF peeps, but for some reason only 7 have managed to make it into my village. >>; Not sure what I'm doing wrong there. It's acknowledged at least 10 people.

 

[Busaiku]

Holy crap, the music for Moonshadow is amazing.
So freaking good.

 

[theprodigy]

you know the special music is tied to the character, right?

edit: wait you're already that far into the game?

 

[komorebi]

Looking for some GAF friends so I can get my town in fighting shape.

Please PM me if you add me so I can do the same.

[robotzombie]

Does equipping a shield remove the bare fisted bonus for a monk?

Also, my FC is 4339 2494 9752, add me!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

By the way, for those playing Japanese, is there an equivalent to Mrgrgr?

 

[mrjohill]

Hey does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the norende ravine when your running from the airship?

Also friend code is 0877-0929-0844

While on one hand this design prevents me from "wasting" time running through buildings, it also damages the feeling of scale in the game.

I think she says mugugu but I don't remember.

Agreed, this has bothered me from the start as well.

I don't care if there's nothing worthwhile inside of them, I like rummaging through people's houses.
