Exactly what I'm doing. Saving the four combat classes for last.
No, I'm never letting it go.

I did that expect for the other three combat classes I didn't choose.
Hell, I still haven't finished showing the butterfly the town yet, lol

I had to kill the nap dragon a couple of times in a row for some loot. Level-5 is toying with our feelings.

Yeah I am trying to get to Expert now on them all before moving the story along any more. I am at Port Puerto now but haven't done much there aside from get materials for crafting.
Does anyone know what special effects the Ancient Stone gives a tool you craft as a Blacksmith?
But yeah, it slows down communications a lot. Wish the buttons were a bit bigger too.
Or QUERTZ in Europe.

QUERTZ? Which Euro peasants use that? QWERTY is the way man.
A better keyboard would be nice but longer messages would be the real megaton.
Also, more gestures.~~
I think Gato meant QWERTZ which is standard for German-speaking countries (and some other ones, I think).
Apparently French keyboards have AZERTY in the corner. Figure that one out!

Typo since I had the word Quartz stuck in my head for some reason.
What daydreaming said, yeah. 😊
Yeah, that would be nice too. I tend to try to use my fingers so I don't lose my stylus somewhere (which happens way too often to me...one time it was in my shirt pocket and I didn't realize it for a couple hours -_-), but it's kind of unwieldy for that.
The lost stylus, I know that feel bro.
So this is my usual position playing 3DS games.
See the resemblance? Cool as fuck

He's high from the stylus plastic mixing with his alcohol =P
I think I am at my seventh Stylus now in only one year. Some games require one, like this one, because developers don't cater to people with thumbs thicker as a pencil, apparently.
You need to squint a little bit more for the Clint Eastwood look. ;DThe lost stylus, I know that feel bro.

I have a normal stylus and still do that :lol way easier than having to put it back or risk losing it.

No, no.
It's her way to repay my deep-seated dislike for her personality and mannerisms, I'm sure of it. 😡

This is what I'm doing too, and I'm loving every minute.
So how the heck do named magic attacks work? I was wandering around, throwing ice balls and raining icicles down on things, and then the ground started to glow and I eventually unleashed some heavenly ice ball or something. It had a name; I forget what. I did something to do that, right?
That was the Magicians special skill. Just like every other fighting class, magicians can unleash a heavy-hitting attack on their enemies when the special skill gauge is filled up and glowing.
Oh, I see I had no idea I had a special skill gauge 😒 Thanks!
So torn on the writing in this game. On the one hand, there's SO MUCH of it, and it's really ... inefficient, I guess the word might be? To accomplish virtually anything in the story you'll have several character interludes, travel back and forth between two spots repeatedly, interject several asides, and so-on.
But it's also really charming and well done, and puts a smile on my face a lot more often than most RPGs manage.
I didn't skip any of the Life training missions because I like all those story bits and character interludes, but I still have a hard time getting past the pages and pages of dialogue it always takes to get into one little fight.

Worked all week and haven't been feeling up to playing. That all changes tomorrow afternoon!
So I bought the DLC, and it's kinda annoying that the DLC is already on the cart and just locked away. Well, I guess it's better than downloading it.
Anyways, I've finally reached Puerto Porto, but I think I'll try to focus on the story and unlock Al Magiik before doing my exploring, since I seem to have a lot of requests that require that area as well.

Got to master or higher in everything now. Wizard/magician was pretty rough since I haven't put many points into intelligence, plus all the SP you use up. Song was nice though, it made up for it. I think I'll give that golden swordfish another go, and then progress the story.
Oh shit. I actually have a vague memory of seeing an ally get healed during battle and thinking "oh the game must just automatically heal whoever is lowest in HP. I didn't think to actually try that while playing!
Maybe now my earth magic will go up. I haven't touched it at all yet.

There is the occasional funny line, but the writing is overall very weak, mostly due to the structure of the game. If you have hundreds of speaking characters, it's gonna be very difficult to develop any of them beyond the most superficial level. If the quests can be done in any order, it's impossible to progress a coherent plot.
Of course, the main story, which is linear and doesn't involve so many characters really isn't very good either. I think the problem in games like these is that the writers are swamped with writing dialog for 90,000 fetch quests and just don't have time to do a good job on the important parts.
If you lead allies away from an enemy and they're standing still (generally), they'll heal themselves with potions.
I noticed that as well. I'll try healing tomorrow and see how it works.
I just hold the stylus in my right hand. I'm able to hold it between fingers while still able to grip normally and press buttons. I find myself doing this even on the XL where the stylus holder is right there.
What's ya'lls overall opinion of this game so far? I picked it up on the whim because there wasn't anything I wanted to go with BB GCU promo.
I made a character with the demon horns hair style, ha. Haven't progressed past that yet, in my home and some female wants me to get the mail.

What is the purpose of sneaking? I skipped Hunter tutorial and still have no idea why would I sneak to monsters instead of running.

I wish I could carry more than 3 bounties. I was having a lot of fun exploring this cave.
The stupid bat destroyed one of the bounties, lol.

If you have enough decent SP potions you can kind of cheat. Keep using your charge chop and when you run out of SP quickly cancel cutting and use a potion the trees energy slowly refils but on higher trees it refills pretty fast but if you are quick enough you can resume chopping before it's totally recovered.
I really need to up my strength by ten or more points, aren't I? Ugh, and here I thought I'd focus on Dexterity and Intelligence for now but I need my Carpenter recipes to make new stuff for my houses. 😣
What a dilemma.
yo Gato, could we maybe team up with Daydreaming again this weekend to kill the Typhoon Bird? It's my ultimate Hunter challenge
Not all of the lives can fight very well. It allows gathering classes to sneak through dungeons and such. For example, as a Miner, there are ore nodes guarded by boss monsters. I am able to sneak past and mine in peace.
I was the same way until I reached the second area. It felt like I had freedom to what I wanted and there were plenty of areas to explore. The area around the second town didn't seem the same, and I felt the story hurried me along a bit.
I'm level 22 and headed to the third town.
Doesn't work with the really strong trees though, maybe something like a Strength charm or something that refills my SP automatically over a period of time mixed with some Miracle potions could do the trick though. For that I would need to get a higher rank as an Alchemist though. Basically, I need to become the God-Gladstone (God in all Lifes) to get everything that I need to chop down a fancy golden tree.
I'm in, just tell me when. (Hopefully not today/tonight though with Halloween and all that happening)yo Gato, could we maybe team up with Daydreaming again this weekend to kill the Typhoon Bird? It's my ultimate Hunter challenge
Tomorrow evening would be totally fine with me though.
Not so easy when the thing between you and your goal is a Pickaxe Golem.
I'm curious what level you guys who are starting each life before progressing the story are hitting? I was level six just from three lives. Doing nothing but completing my life quests got me level 19 before I visited the port.
Also, I have a request:
Before the game was released here, there were several official images posted that gave suggestions of life combinations. For example, angler/cook/mercenary. I suspect these were posted by NoE and probably on their Facebook. Anyone have a link to these type of images or remember where they were from? I'm curious what combinations they suggested. I only remember the mercenary and paladin/blacksmith/miner combo.
