Just powered through this and unlocked online and man, this game is a ton of fun. This is easily the best Vanillaware game I've played.

I had a fighter at lvl 35 (cap for normal) and pretty much all level 35 S gear, and I couldn't do it solo. I used 2 dwarf and an amazon a.i. to meatshield long enough so I could reflect back enough green orbs so my cover survived an extra round of dragon's breath.
I think I only had like 30 hp left, definitely only one hit. I used like 15 health pots (3 slots).
Send me a message if you guys need help, it's super frustrating solo or with braindead a.i. (psn itsnervedamage).

I tried it with my level 31 Sorc and I still got my arse handed to me.

Almost a week after release, a full week after my order status changed and Amazon still has me at "shipping soon"...
I'm not getting my art book am I?
Easily the first time that Amazon has let me down on a video game release.

Playing on normal.
The closest I got him down to was 10% health but my party wiped and it's obscenely difficult to dodge the Dragon's attacks AND those damn skeletons.

I'm playing as the knight, is there any way to take his helmet off? In the art book there are sprites of him without it. Thanks.

He only takes it off briefly in his idle animation.
So....uh.... I think I just stumbled on a bug.
I beat the game on Normal, started Hard, and immediately switched back to normal to finish a quest (beat Ancient Temple Ruins B by yourself) and got the talisman for it... on Normal.
I then switched back to Hard and just finished a 6 B-Path level run that should have gotten me 6 Talismans. Upon completion, it scrolled through the "Congratulations" messages ("You got the Blue Talisman!") but then immediately upon entering town I hear the narrator say "Collect the 9 Talismans to weaken the dragon".
...wait....9? That can't be right, I just got 6.
What the hell, I don't have any Talismans in my inventory. I switch back to normal and see that I have the 1 talisman for the Ancient Temple Ruins.... Crap.
Anyone run into this, and know a way to fix it? I'd hate to abandon my character!

Don't worry, the narrator just says what you have to do, you don't have to care about it.
Oh dear. When did you order yours? I didn't order too long before release and I got it on release day.
So it doesn't matter that they aren't showing up in my UI either? Or on the Level Select?

I don't think I've seen AI so useless as I did on the B-side of the Pirate's Cove
Then doing the fortress B-side
While on the boat they just stood there. The tentacles attacked me and only me so that part we failed as the boat crashed. On the actual Kraken they just stood there and kept getting killed. So awful for some reason
Then doing the fortress B-side
They just stand in front of the game and get killed in seconds by fire. Seriously how the fuck did the AI go from alright for most of the game and turn into complete morons for the rest of the game. I don't know how anyone can solo this fight. I know I'm supposed to use cannonballs on the cannon to break down the door. Too bad I drop the cannonball the second I get looked at and with my AI partners being ridiculously stupid I'm getting hit constantly because they are either dead or standing there on fire.
Ok, well, I fixed it but it took a while. I just went back through on normal and did a boss rush, running right as soon as possible and skipping all chests. After getting all the Talisman again, I fought and killed the last boss. It reset everything and I can finally get Talisman on Hard again (checked by clearing one B-path and going back to town).
That was....strange.

I'm glad you got it worked out. It definitely sounded strange and I'd never encountered a similar issue. Hopefully, it doesn't pop up again.

For me they will load the cannons with cannon balls. A bug maybe?
What happens if you make it through without capsizing?
Also if I go to hard mode, will I have to redo all those side quests?
I picked up the bones of a Japanese player. I'll see if they have hacked gear. If so I'll bury them and hope I don't get a drop.

As a sorcerous what is the proper balance of armour versus spells. I tend to go almost naked spells wise and load up on my spells. I let my wife (amazon) take all the damage/punishment.

The door would spit out fire and destroy the cannon before anyone would do anything. They honestly just stood there and just died the entire time. They all had at least 2 rezzes left but after two minutes I was basically alone. Not sure if it's a bug but the boss was down about 30% from max and that was it. The cannons kept getting destroyed until finally I found an exit and escaped. Was really frustrating.

It's weird because I've seen them stand in fire and die and I've seen them do things like double jump over chasms (Forgotten Sanctuary).
They are pretty decent usually but they definitely fuck up sometimes.

If you don't know what you're doing when on the for b path with the
the better strategy is to do as much damage in the room, before attempting to exit and
I think it should be locked to each players column. If there are two players, have 2 stoves and bowls for each player, and so on. I just had a round where the guy was a far better cook than me, but was using 3 out of the 4 stoves to boost all his stats, practically leaving me with 1 stove and no good ingredients.

end up on the path where you have to use your shield constantly.

You don't have to collect the talismans in any particular order. And the stable cost isn't actually too bad, you make it back without trying, especially if you chain dungeons together. It was a bit annoying at first to me but I quickly got over it.
I don't understand what your problem with this is.
Ya not sure of the problem with this.
This game needed a money sink SOO very badly.
I woulda expected at least 2x the cost of the stables.
I collected the bones for the next character with my previous, so that I could complete the quest instantly every time I got it.
You can, but the bosses required to collect the talismans are leveled (assuming each needs the alternate route). I've typically found that you need to be around the boss' level to properly fight.
Also, this game has plenty of money sinks already (appraising always costing more than being able to sell, resurrecting, etc.). Though this complaint is probably only an issue near the start of the game I imagine.
Actually if you've chained a few dungeons and a couple of cooking festivals you can take out the B path bosses way below your level. I've done a few almost 10 levels under.
I'm still in normal collecting talismans. Rather, I'm completing side quests and collecting talismans when a chain takes me somewhere I don't have the talisman from. I've not really been giving any attention to the level of the boss and have collected them in a fairly random order so far. Pretty sure I was under-leveled for a couple. I'm an elf, though, so mileage may vary.
I also only appraise things that look like they'll be useful, which means not many items at all. I have more gold than I have anything to do with and I have for quite some time. But different people will obviously have different experiences. Hopefully it won't bother you much once you get further in.

Got to level 99 and beat the last boss on the Inferno .
All that left is to beat the last 3 stages of labyrinth of chaos before go to another class .

Is there planned story/additional level DLC for this game? Would I be missing anything if I imported it?

By a long shot.
I'd agree to this.

While I'm not sure about the solo X boss quests, I do know that you can set the difficulty back down to normal for some quests you've taken in the later difficulties and complete them. I assume it works for everything, unless special items are difficulty locked.

Some would say it's unfair to compare this to arcade titles, but I'd have to say a resounding, "Yes." to your question nonetheless.

So is there anything actually interesting about the Fighter?
I've played the Wizard and the Dwarf and those 2 are both different. The Wizard is you regular spell casting guy and the Dwarf hurls himself at the enemies and can throw the enemies as well.
So is their anything special about the Fighter? I've been playing him for a while and I'm at lvl 11 right now and he doesn't seem to have any awe inducing moves. So far I've just been playing him like a typical warrior and pressing square for combos and circle for the usual power smash. There has to be more to him I'm missing right, unless his shield allies move is his special ability.

I would say it's my favourite of this generation of beat 'em ups with RPG mechanics, with Double Dragon Neon being right there beside it.
Of all time? Nah, I think it ends up being a bit too shallow for it to be numbah one and the blatant Vita-isms of it end up being a drag on a controller. But it's good, it's really fun, and I would easily call it Vanillaware's best game thus far. Quick burst dungeon romps with randoms makes it stand out from their past output, as well as the other beat 'em ups of this gen.

Nothing I've heard of yet. I'm also not sure how likely there will be any ever.

wow, the game completely changes once you unlock online and turn it on.
The order of the runes doesn't matter.
Haha, after doing a few chain runs with online peeps, I got some lvl 79 bones. This should get me through all of the difficulties
(I'm level 29)They don't need to be entered in order.
