Late game spoilers:
Why in God's name did they give me back Alisha for that Maltran fight?? Girl is getting bodied and basically leaving the damage up to me burning through all my life bottles. She sucks so bad lacking the optimization of the rest of my party. I honestly don't see what the issue was with her leaving the party. It seemed pretty intentional given everything else.
Issue that most people seem to be having is that the reasoning and Rose's introduction are kinda rushed, Rose's character voice acting took place a year after the other characters which leads people to believe she was a last minute introduction, and apparently there's some art in the game files that shows Sorey and Alisha doing the final boss dual mystic art, which is what Sorey and Rose do in the final version of the game. All this leaves people to believe that Alisha originally would have had access to armatization and never left your party. Kinda understandable why fans of her would be upset, although her personality is still kinda boring compared to Rose.
Character art? Where? That just adds fuel to the fire about parts of it being rushed up like anything to do with Alisha >.>

I have been slowly chipping away at the game. I am now ~9 hours in and presumably about to face a boss in the Museum. I am enjoying it a lot so far, I guess I haven't played a typical JRPG in so long that I forgot how much I enjoyed them. I find it pretty relaxing to play. None of the characters are real standouts besides maybe the Toph impersonator I just met, but none of them really annoy me either.
Alright question is there a way to
yes or no answer will do trying to avoid spoilers
Save ednas brother without actually killing him. Im at the point where Sorey decided to deal with edna's bro but when i went there seems like they just gonna kill him.. i dont wanna see him dead

No.
Can't tell if someone faked it or not, but here.
If someone did fake it, they did a good job at it.

Huh... yeah if someone faked it, that's a good fake.
Any tips into obtaining higher grade in battles?
I made sure to turn off all the auto-guards etc that halves the grade score, but I still find myself only being able to get 14.something grade in battles if I used a mystic arte, and not the consistent more than 20.+ that some of you guys are able to get...

I could never get down if it's truly fake, but Tokrin posts photoshops and joke images all the time, and sometimes they're pretty well done. They're the only source I remember seeing for this image too.

Spellcasters?
Making enemies follow you and gathering them together before you trigger the battle is a good way of making the grade score go even higher. Wait for a shadow to appear under them so you know it will be a dangerous encounter. The fight will also be harder though.
It also depends on what difficulty you're playing at, a lot of people are playing on Hard and beyond itt.

Told everyone man, they only did it so you'd listen to the best song in the game for a couple hours. They were really proud of it and were like "It'd be a shame if people didn't listen to it for an interminable amount of time"

Okay. It wasn't that bad. There was only really that one room that gave me trouble because there are a zillion symbols facing every which way.
Yeah aside from a couple troll moments, if you check the walls + floor when you enter a new room and plan ahead the dungeon is mostly ok. The very first room where you have to use the power is supposed to show
that the effect only lasts for two squares
I do think that it would be enough if you were
teleported to the entrance of the room instead of the start of the dungeon

Groups of spellcasters can kill you very quickly in this game. The AI doesn't seem to be that great at interrupting them even with the strategy setting set to do so.
Best thing to do there is armatize with Edna and spam Earthshaker which knocks most spellcasters down on the second hit, once you land the first one you can just keep chaining them until they're all dead.
Level Designer A: We have to do a water level. Y'know, to make people suffer.
Level Designer B: Ok. Any goals ?
Level Designer A: We are going to do something that's even more infuriating than the OoT Water Temple.
Level Designer B: Great. Let's do this.
I think it was something like that when they thought of that dungeon. It was a trolling level all along.
Just beat it and I am mentally recovering from that final boss. Did anyone else find that INSANELY hard? I've been playing on Moderate all game but dropped to Simple and still barely did it.
I feel like I did something horribly wrong, but I dunno.
My party could not avoid the long reaching attacks, so I basically had them just be dead the entire time while I avoided the attacks and chipped him down. When he charged up I revived and tried to focus him, but barely got through the third one(I failed here a few times). To say nothing of the AI sometimes deciding to not be armatized, which made the seraph go down quickly.

Jus bought the game today i gotta say the combining with a seraph seems super op so far but the design is really good and love the moveset

Nope. I expected it to be more difficult, honestly. What level were you? My party was all in the 89-90 range.
I just ignored the attacks of his Armatized form and kept attacking his torso dead center. I made sure to keep my HP at least at half full. Went in with plenty of Apple, Peach, and Grape gel. It was bit of a juggling act at times keeping everyone healed up and on offense, but I managed. The two phases on either end of his Armatization were simple, as he telegraphs pretty much all of his attacks.

Ok, that statue skit in the museum was pretty damn funny, lol.
There are detriments to armatization, but as far as damage dealing it's your best bet throughout.

Yeah, pretty much. Lailah Armatization FTW. You can even use it to resurrect a KO'd character.
Wow, I was around level 60, haha.
I was crushing the dungeon leading up to it though.
Freezasaurus
Member
Yeah, I kept running into
the various Boss Hellions in that place and steamrolling them. It was pretty fun.
Yeah Fire armatization is like by far my most used. Followed by Earth, and Water and Wind are both way down there. Wind is disappointing, it had a lot of potential with all those swords but unfortunately it's too awkward and the spells are merely okay. The wind mystic arte is awesome, at least.

Earth is very good, too. Because it has that healing circle spell tied to R2.

Are you serious?
This entire time I thought there was no revive spell in the game.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Water is good for staying back and hitting enemies from a distance. Arrow Rain (I think it's called) is also really good for taking out groups of enemies.
Wind is pretty lackluster until you get its amazing final spell.

It works between the human character and the Seraph they're tied to. If you get KO'd and your Seraph is still alive, you can Armatize to get back into it.

I thought you were talking about Lailah's Blast Gauge heal while armatized. I already know about the trick to revive human characters with armatization.
Too bad it doesn't work the other way around (seraph KO'd, human not).
Freezasaurus
Member
oh, no. Lailah's R2 just does a little heal. I find Edna's R2 Healing Circle much better.
Switch out the Seraph and they'll revive over time and heal

Yeah, avoid those until later. They don't even chase you IIRC.

Yeah, it's a good idea to stay clear of those guys your first time through an area.
Yeah it's great and very powerful. Water is good too, I just haven't used it as much plus there seem to be quite a few enemies who resist Water or so it seems.
Edit: a skit I just saw through a sidequest
Rose: "killing is a sin"
No shit, weird how nobody cares that you do it all the time

Water is good in certain instances, but it's by far my least used Armatization. Though the game really, really seems to enjoy putting Mikleo back in my party after every single cut scene.
