It is annoying when they're following you in the middle of battle. But unless you got bows, I'd recommend skipping fights.

So I haven't had any quest board quests show up in a long, long time. Is there a certain point at which they stop popping up on the boards?

Yep, the AI for the followers is almost as bad as the pawn AI most of the time (they're telling me the enemies are weak to fire, they're a fire mage, yet they're not using their fire...wtf). Your best bet is to avoid all combat until you get the person to their destination.

i saved the escort quests for NG+, you can buy up to 5 port stones and lay them anywhere you want to teleport to. i just get the quest, make sure the NPC is present and warp. profit.

Did anyone else see the Dark Souls Easter egg? It is a bird nest at the end of a broken spiral tower. You can climb up and stand on it, it blinks but nothing happens. It is at the fort north of Gan Soren.
Who sells the fairy stones the cheapest? The Black Croiw sells them for 20k, seems like I saw them for 15k somewhere else.

Those nests are all over the land, you can destroy them to get some loot, it's usually an egg, rotten egg or golden egg, sometimes you might get a kindle as well.
As for the Stones, I buy them from the Fournival guy in the Noble district, house directly across the castle. He sells them for 10K a piece, ( I can get them for 9K now).

Love this game.
I still feel like I'm doing something wrong, even though I have the best weapons and armor you can get so far (I'm like 3 hours in), every time I venture forth on a quest or something I die! I'm level 12, but I hired some pawns that are level 25 and I'm still getting my butt kicked.

In case anyone's still wondering:
All the other minor dragons have the same percentage for dragonforging, 0 stars = 0 percent, 1 star = 2%, 2 star = 6%, 3 star = 10%
Also, LTTP on this, here's my pawn and my current arisen.

I'm a few hours in. Are there ANY quests I can do that won't crucify me to the wall? I mean... Come ON. Surely there must be SOMETHING I can do that won't get me annihilated?
I was super-impressed with the game for the first few hours, but right now, not so much. The game doesn't seem to do a good job of showing you the way to anything you can use as a toe-hold to get into the game.
Ah. I'm not the only one.

they stopped showing up for me, that's why i entered post game. but i couldn't solve some in my journal. new quests might show up if you finish your current quests.
somebody help with this!
Of course there is. You can go to the capital and there's a bunch of care bear quests in the capital you can use to level up. Otherwise, the rest is mostly a matter of trial and error to learn how combat works and to improve your skill. This, like Dark Souls, doesn't really hold your hand. You get some quests and then you're on your own to explore the world and figure things out.
I don't see anything wrong with that. If you expect the game to hold your hand then you might want to stick with Final Fantasy.

Quest log is cleared in ng+. Fresh start BUT you still keep the credit for quests completed in the previous game.

Breath and take incremental risk, pay attention to your Vocation, the more skills/techs you buy the stronger you'll become, follow the main quest (speak to people in the encampment) till you have access to gran soren, STOCK UP ON CURRATIVES (greenwarish/mushrooms for stamina) and push forward, you WILL get stronger, and by default your enemies will become easier to deal with, just push forward.

My Assassin (right) and Ranger pawn (left).
Assassin just may be my favorite vocation. Getting a parry move really topped it off for me. It looks so sweet too

Hard to notice, but my victim of that is above and to the left of me

Why won't my dumb ass pawns heal themselves? If i try to give them a healing item, they take it, but dont heal themselves. Am i missing something?
I had some difficulties at the start, but i'm finding the game quite easy (or let's say managable), strange.
Nothing close to Demon's or Dark Souls, anyway.
You just have to find the right way to fight each boss and have good pawns on your back.
Only excpetion is for the escort missions, because the people who you escort are dumb as bricks.
Oh yeah, walk carelessly in front of the Cyclop right when he's swinging like a motherfucker, sure.

Oh, also, do you get any more than just the one Portcrystal in your first game? I'm standing right next to mine right now, and I'm wondering if I should pick it up in anticipation of post-game, so I can put it at
, or just leave it at Bluemoon Tower.

played through my first hour today. made it to the first town outside of the village, beat they cyclops and made my first pawn. i like her better than the main char i made. i want to play as her!
can you change your characters/pawns appearance, or once you create, its pretty mych set?
is the pawn i created my main pawn for life? can they die permanantly?
any quicky tips or things that i should be mindful of in my first playthrough?
thanks.

1. yeah, there's an item you can purchase later on to edit your appearance.
2. for life, and they can't permanently die. They just go back to the rift so you can resummon them.

You get one per playthrough and you can have Black Cat make forgeries for 300k each. You can make as many forgeries as you want and place them all around Gransys.

Nice troll attempt.
I'm serious. Granted I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard from multiple people and I'm not sure why they would just lie to my face
I can go test it out now I guess lolSeraphis Cain

Nope. Forged Portcrystals don't work. This is pretty well-known by now.

cool thanks. so can you change your apperance fully? body type, sex, and everything? what about your pawns appearance, same deal?
thanks.
I'll tell you this now before you end up asking, it's a little confusing how this works. First purchase the item with RC, then exit your game and go to the main menu and one of the options is to Edit your character.

I had to escort some old guy from your starting village to some old fort in the far east. Easy enough. Well, aside from the place taking close to an hour to get too, the trek there was a bitch.
The bandits you come across are fucking ridiculous to kill. Some die quick, but then you get ones that seem to be immune to magic and take ages to kill. Doesn't help that they can kill you in 2 seconds..and that generally you have to take down 2-3 at one time.
You go off the road to the left along the beach...more bandits. Go right, and I get over run by Saurians (?) as well as a
.
Then when you finally get to the home stretch, there's a nice little surprise waiting for you...
It's actually quite interesting to play an RPG where when someone casts Blind on you, the entire screen goes black. That was fun haha.
After that quest (which took me a few days to do as I rage quit and took a break from) I went back to the inn and saved. Upon saving, I was alerted to someone had used my pawn. She was returned to me with a new Bow, armor piece, and 12 500 RC.
Now I kinda feel bad by gifting my random pawns with objects like a brick, or a rock when parting ways hahahaha.

A fucking Dragon!!!!! My first attempt did fucking jack shit. My second attempt managed to find a weakness, but given my squad was dead, I stood no chance. 3rd attempt, I decided to go right around him just so I could finish this fucking escort quest. I was a lvl 17 Sorcerer btw.

some trolls in the weekend confirmed thread tried to pass this game off as a tech failure because the game is "letterboxed". Because capcom slaps on the letterbox + copyright + logo when you do a screenshot.

the forged Portcrystals don't work. not sure why ninjajesus is posting it like it does. I know. someone else ITT said you could do it and I wasted 300k.
not even that. He's played it for 15 hours!

The last Wyrm Hunt Quest I'm doing says that "any errand you have taken on will be left to another to complete". Does that mean I'll be able to continue current quests after this last Wyrm Hunt Quest? I've been delaying this to complete Side Quests.
1. Yes, you're able to change both your main character's and your pawn's appearance. Eventually, a man at The Encampment will be standing by Rift Stone where he sells skin color, hair color, and something else I forgot; you use Rift Points to buy them. At Grand Soren, I think you can get hair style change, hair, facials, etc. Then, at the Main Title, you can character edit.
2. The Pawn you create will be your Main Pawn. Yes, he/she will be permanent. If he/she dies (ie: disappears after being down for too long), you can pick him/her up in the Rift Stone. I believe you have the option to venture solo, I haven't tried yet, so I'm not sure. You're also able to have 2 other pawns join your party, making it 4 people total (in case you didn't know).
3. I recommend saving a lot. Actually.. A LOT. Because monsters can get pretty tough. If you venture enough where monsters almost kill you in one hit.. I recommend waiting 'til you get at a higher level.
I don't know how else to answer, so hope this helps.
EDIT:
Also, bring curatives for yourself. You'll need them. Eventually you'll find a few Healing Springs through Gransys. I recommend bringing Empty Bottles. You can fill them up like you do w water and oil. They heal the team.

Status effects in this game are great. They're not just annoyances to shrug off--most will actually endanger you.
This is something I love about Kingdom Hearts, too. Casting Float and then Stop on all your enemies, slashing the crap out of them, having Stop wear out, and seeing everything spasm in mid-air afterward = omg.

Yeah I didn't bother with forging them cause I got myself fucked with forged Ferrystone lol I forged one, took it with me and left the other one in the storage and when the quest was over and I was ready to go back to Gran Soren I threw the stone and you should have seen my face when it hit the ground lol

God's had his chance.
lol ... oh man. Best spell ever. Just finished the missions leading up to "the Final battle" - spoilers for the previous missions/s
It's kind of crazy at this point to know I can kill a Chimera in under a minute without much trouble. Make my way to the western gate and as you walk into the first courtyard and those 2 armored trolls and a double handful of harpies come bowling at you ... i stood there and thought "welp... shit. I'm not positive I can man handle ALL this at once... " had to run more than normal. Revived one of my pawns for the first time in a long time. Managed to drop everything in still good shape heading into the actual hold but was down to 4 or 5 bottles of curative. The Lich's took one or two more but were CRAZY easy to kill for me. All that not moving doesn't really help them out much.
To those that have finished the game proper - I'm creepin up on 60 right now.. strider and assassin 100% with a stamina focused augment list with the heavy hitters (except night time only enhancements) like preemption hanging out for damage increases. Can I tackle this last mission and will that put me at post-game if i do?? I'm itching to get at that Ur-Dragon...
A question about Aelinore for those who beat the game.
I completely missed giving her the jester hat after meeting the Duke, which I think locks me out of the Arousing Suspicion quest. Am I now locked out of any future quests she gives or involving her? Duchess in Distress, for example.
Is there any way to start Arousing Suspicion even though I never gave her the hat?
