Is there anything I should focus on getting with the Bliss Points?
I only been getting more bag space but I'm about to hit the max on that.

It doesn't matter. I've gotten so many just from playing. Pick whatever you want. This game is far more casual than you would think reading this thread with all the obsessive min/maxing players God-ranking every life.
That said, if you aren't playing every job, the shopping+ perk is useful since it allows stores to sell crafting materials you'd otherwise need to harvest yourself.

Pets because they are cute, some storage space wouldn't hurt either.
Bliss rewards are not really useful (from what I have seen so far). Even pets, by this point, you probably already have tons of allies.
EDIT: Oh yeah, Zing is right. Shop upgrades are very useful.
I'm still having nightmares about that fight. I guess I stumbled on it without proper equipment or even any partners along with me.
I had to shoot my bow a few times each time to avoid the attacks, and I did like 10-12 damage a hit. Literally took over 2 hours. Never want to think about that thing again.
Do the merchants having wider variety stock ones. Always helpful.

At level 42 on Chapter 1, 3 million Gold, killed Napdragon with my friend 10 times now.

You have to use the shield to block attacks. Hold X to actually use it.

Using a shield. Every time you block a hit from an enemy it increases your shield level, like when you use a sword or other item basically.
Edit: Gah beaten!

Is there an easy way to spot someone you've StreetPassed? They're just like "they are in your town". :/

Seriously. It was the Treehouse presentations back at E3 that sold me on it, I didn't even look at the reviews.

Their marker on your map is blue, versus the usual golden dots for npc's. I'm pretty sure they're aways outside of buildings in castele proper, or rather, the 3 areas with vendors in them.

does anyone know what skill level you need to get an easier time doing master crafts? Like, with 50~ vit could i do the prongs portion of smithing with 2 hits?
Seems like Colin fell in love with me.
:3
wait a second
is that a horse on your picture? or a camel?
how do you get to the Ancient Ruins with your horse? He just seems to hit an invisible wall sooner or later in my game. It usually happens when I try to get to another town.
Nah, I can't go in with the horse*. Left Alfred outside with Colin while searching the place for some Onyx.
Apropos horses, I wish your buddy horse would fight enemies like the ones in Skyrim do.
Edit:
* Oh, I think you haven't unlocked the "Get your "own" horse" bonus yet. The ones that get rented are not able to go to certain places, no idea why. Buddy horses can be named and can go to more places.

Oh no no I unlocked this bonus a long time ago! Come on Gato I just crossed the 44 hours mark, I should know about the horse thing by now
But I mean it seems like I can't go anywhere with my horse (which is my own by the way, named it Horsey) (because that's real original, haha). He just won't go in Elderwood, for example. So I don't know how you managed to go to the Ruins with him.
Hence the fact that I never ever use him. He's just useless to me, and I'm forced to dash my way through Reveria

Did you find the StreetPass character? For anyone having trouble, you first need to visit the Guild Office to make them appear.
Also, to raise your friendship to 100%, enter and leave a house, find and talk to the character again, repeat 4-5 times.
Nah, horses are amazing. (Music Warning!)Oh no no I unlocked this bonus a long time ago! Come on Gato I just crossed the 44 hours mark, I should know about the horse thing by now

You can carry bounties a lot faster by horse, that's why I use it.

When you approach an NPC you can recruit, press the X button to bring up their Details page, then press Y to add then your party. (Same as pets.) You have to earn the right to recruit them though, rather through the story or by being at a certain level in a given job.
Do you have the DLC? That plays a factor to in NPC usefulness.
Haha, what level is your character now?
I hope you agree that Mage life is best life. ^.^

Not that high, just 15 I think. My work schedule this past week was beyond stupid so I haven't had much time to play, hence all the late night cram sessions. I'm still working my way through all the jobs (getting the to adept or apprentice) before moving on. I haven't gotten to Wizard yet.Haha, what level is your character now?

I have this weekend off so I hope to play some major catch up then.

I should be good then. I must be doing it wrong.
Oh.. that explains it. I didn't realize it was exactly the same as pets. I do not have the DLC, but I know a few character's told me they'd join me if I wanted them to.
I have to admit that as I get deeper into this game I am not as fond of it. I think I join the chorus of voices that would prefer the story get out of the way and just let me quest and have fun. I get overwhelmed by suddenly having a bunch of butterfly quests appear, and other quests sprinkled through the land in areas that the story doesn't even lead.
It feels like they put too much arbitrary stuff. That or they cut out too much. I can decorate my room, but it's vastly inferior to Animal Crossing, which I also play, so I feel no need to do it here. I have to go to some special hut to color furniture. I can have pets that pretty much do nothing. Allies seem more of a hinderance than a boon, as they attack so slowly and just cause trouble (just had one "accidentally" attack some god tier tortoise during a small battle). Like the furniture, I feel zero desire to grab an ally.
The story also introduces some oddities, like me being vastly over prepared for the port area, and having many quests for it, only to have it all arbitrarily blocked off because I didn't talk to the butterfly. Then I do get the story to that area, and the game treats me as though I am a newbie and have never set foot there, with the game dialog even stating as such, despite the fact that I already visited, shopped, and hunted stuff in the area. And what's the deal with the quest to kill Napdragon after a whole chapter of the game is devoted to saving it and making it a friend of the kingdom?
The combat is also super ultra extremely simplistic.
I guess I would just prefer a more focused experience. It seems to be scatterbrained either due to too much content or having key elements cut out. I Have 19 hours under my belt and I'm going to take a break. Paraphrasing a post from someone else earlier in this thread, "I just wish the game would let me play".

Ah, I see. Yep, it's just like pets.
If you do ever get the DLC, your pets and allies will get stronger the more you use them with the Friendship System.
Piercedveil

I just realized there are bonuses with the DLC even before you finish the game. I must have missed that in the OP the first time I read through it. Is it worth purchasing the DLC now instead of waiting until I finish the main story? I'm about 20 hours in at this point, and a few chapters into the main story. I was originally planning to purchase it after I beat the main story since I thought that's the only time it would add anything.

If you are gonna get it regardless, I'd definitely get it immediately, so you can make use of the content that's available during the main game, the biggest one being the Friendship System. All the time you are currently spending with your pets and allies is not being put to good use without the DLC. With it they'll get stronger and be of more use.
Plus you have access to pet birds, dragons, extra customization pieces and more vacation homes during the main quest, in addition to the tons of extra stuff post game.

Looks like I'm going to go buy the DLC right now then, haha. Thanks for the info, I wish I would have known sooner. Oh well, I'll be spending a ton more time with this game I'm sure so it shouldn't be a big issue.

Yeah, don't worry about it. It doesn't take that long to raise friendship with party members, just make sure they travel with you everywhere. The more stuff you do with them the faster it rises. My first pet is almost maxed out already.
Check out the new pets too after you get the DLC. The birds really rock IMO.

Anyone have any favorites in terms of NPCs for their party? Lately all I do is take out my bird, Dog, and that's it. Keep thinking I should up my friendship with someone else but I really don't know who is cool to take and who is a waste since there's so many now. :/
I saw the first post had some suggestions but those seem like people you don't get till later on. I only just wrapped up chapter two.

Note that once you have your own named horse you can saddle him up from any mount rental stable, not just Castele. This will let you get beyond the towns and to the other wilderness areas with him.
I haven't used too many yet, but if you have Paladin at adept, I used Porthos for a bit and he wasn't bad. I usually just let him take hits and walked behind whatever the enemy was. Isobel (expert paladin) I'm using now and she's decent. One of the ones you can get after chapter 3 I really liked

NoE did a really lame job of explaining the DLC, and NoA just didn't talk about it period.
We've been trying to get the word out, but a lot of people are still misinformed.
