Trying to prism Shiva and Ifrit in the coliseum as lv10 is hard work lol

I can get about 2-3 chances to prism before I'm dead, then I'm kicked out of coliseum

Do I only need to prism 1 at a time, or I lose it if I fail battle in coliseum?

Level 10 is a bit early. Level 15 will give you a lot more durability.

Use the elemental items to kill one of them immediately, you only need two for lethal, so you should be able to take them one out before they can even hit you and then imprism the other. It might take a few tries.

Welp, I just prism'd both on first try after post lawl, lv10 is fine

My strategy is both Lann and Reynn M sized, riding on Mythil Golem and Magitek Armor

First turn = unstack both

Shiva/Ifrit seem to always kill the L size first, use black nakk or tama to fire magic on ifrit and bablizz from shiva fight reward on Shiva

2nd turn = try to imprism Shiva or Ifrit, if Lann/Reynn fails, wipe it

3rd turn = you should have at least 1 more prism attempt, try to prism the 2nd

4th turn = if prisming on 2nd failed, use phoenix down and make prism effect stronger by using fire/ice spells again for higher prism chance

This should get both prism in 1 go, just takes lucky rng. I tried about 10 times before this strategy worked

There's really no need to imprism both in one go, killing them is super easy and then you get a few more tries before they wipe out your party. There's no benefit to it, you're just making it harder on yourself.
 
I wouldn't go out of your way to get the arena Star mirages early – they're generally not even that good. Better to invest the XP into something that has more transfigs and thus more boards, as their stats and versatility are way better in the end. Behemoth, Giant and Tonberry lines all great options, in my experience.

If you want the summons,
just use the evolution ones. They're much better than the Star ones. You won't get the final forms until later but the S and M versions are still pretty good in the meantime.
 
Finally got my game, it's so great :D

Especially those sweet sweet FFXIII-2 references with Choco-boco-lina XD

She even has the same voice actress, so awesome <3

I can't believe that some people can not like her.
 
Is there a way to get the Japanese VO DLC without the day one edition? Just read that not all copies from SimplyGames and TGC are day 1 editions even though they were supposed to be. Mine still hasn't arrived, but I ordered it from SG.
 
I love the Ifrit description, particularly where it says
Famous among the FF faithful, since he usually shows up early in the story.
 
So I see the vita version on NA PSN is rated 'Cero Z' and cannot be purchased without a credit card. Welp at least Chen had to courtesy to break the purchase before I buy it but I that didn't stop me from loading my account with the moeny first via amazon >< Dammit Chen!
 
I bought the EU version early, just arrived. It's a regular edition, not a day one edition. Does this mean I can't get the Japanese voices? I can toggle the setting, but 'voiced dialog' defaults to off and I can't turn it on. Can't find anything on the PS Store yet either.
 
I'm in chapter 8 or so, I went back to the cave dungeon at the beginning of the game with the evolution of the mini-golem that can learn smash so you can break that boulder and in the next area I gained so many levels lol. I don't think the game quiiiiiite expects you to do it at that point, I was level 15 and over the course of exploring that area as well as capturing the two missing mirages there I was level 25 and had increased my gil by like 4 times my starting amount. Good stuff.

Also reading posts since last night made me realize I had totally forgotten about the Coliseum, I'm going to go do that first thing.

Japanese VO is part of the day 1 edition DLC. Some stores got the regular, instead of the day 1 edition :/.

You can either return your copy and buy another one or wait and see if SE decides to make the Japanese VO available to buy.

Exactly what I did. Hung around there for a little too long and it made the following chapters waaaay too easy, though.

Same here. I kept screwing up at imprisming Zapt so I was there longer than I should have been. When I was finally done I was like level 30 already lol
 
That's uh, kinda dumb. Guess I'll just try to warm up to the english voices, cutscenes without voices is kinda weird otherwise.

The Day One edition was supposed to be pre-orders only which seems to have actually been what happened here, as opposed to with most games their "day one" editions being the entire first run on shelves for months.
 
My desire to explore as much as possible the first time I encounter new areas has dimished entirely. Went down the secret area in Pyrewood Forest and encountered the
Magic Jar
before I had the item needed to capture it so now I guess I just don't get that this playthrough.
 
Glad I picked this up. It's quite adorably humorous and joyful so far.

I'm liking all characters so far - I think some people are so the-serious - let a little silly joy in your lives. Choco boco lina!

Or you could just go back when you get one of those items like an hour or two later?
 
I have the Vita version but decided to pick up the PS4 version too after seeing how good it looks in screens, and I'm glad I did. Oh my goodness this game is so charming. The first half hour or so didn't leave the best impression but it's your standard JRPG wordy intro so I just dealt with it. Once I got out of the first town I was hooked.

Can you attempt to Imprism (or whatever the word is) as many times as you can while the monsters are in their catchable state? It failed for me once and I was able to attempt again but I was under the impression that I was only able to attempt once and subsequent attempts would require me to buy pokeballs? Unless that tutorial message meant I can only have one of each monster?

Do SP points scale as you level up? Cause right now my Choco Chick is level 4-5 and it definitely doesn't seem like I can reach the other side of the board where the level 10 node is by the time I actually reach level 10.

Edit: I can't speak for EU but I'm in NA and the copy I got off of shelves yesterday was Day 1 edition.

Is there anything I can capture nearby or before that can prevent that?

Some Mirages learn an ability that prevents enemies from running
Right Claw
.

I'm starting to encounter Pokemon Problems where I have a ton of Mirages I wanna use but only so much space and need for certain ones in certain areas.

Lil Yuna is so adorable I wanna stack her on my head.

You can attempt multiple times with the same pokeball. You'd just need a new pokeball if you wanted to catch a 2nd one at a later time

Magitek Armor P (Demo Bonus Mirage) has No Escape on his Mirage Board. Cactrot also has extremely low health so unstack and hit him with your weakest character do get the prismtunity.
 
Still no update from sony about the vita version in the ps store with the bugged rating.

Credited 40$ on my wallet and can't buy the freaking game. So frustrating holy shit.
 
SE uk store never send emails about anything, no idea whether I put delivery address as home or work. Assuming they've even shipped it..

Easier way is to use a mirage that has the subdue skill, it's the same as false swipe from pokemon, It has an effect that leaves enemies at 1 HP, and if you use it again while 1 HP left, it does 0 damage

Slyph, one of the first mirages you get in the game has that

Forgot all about Subdue. Yeah that's a much better idea.

I wanted this game so bad, my hype for it was bigger than FFXV. But with these problem with the Vita version, I lost interest. The 40$ that I credited on my wallet I already spent on other game.

Its sad, but they did not give a fuck for Vita version.
 
I ran into that encounter, saw I didn't have the item and just ran. It was still there after and I can go back any time to grab it.

Yeah I stuck around and defeated it. I got wrapped up in the new battle music and didn't stop to think it could be the only one in the game since it was accessible so early.

fuck man... wanted to play it so bad this weekend. Will leave the 40 dollars there, but if in a week it doesn't get solved will pre-order ffxv already lol. There's nothing else i want to buy at the moment
 
For some reason, I thought this was going to be 39.99 on both platforms. Ah well, finally ordered the Limited Edition since it was the same price as the normal version for PS4, should be here in a few days.

I really appreciate the impressions in this thread. The demo impressions weren't great - and I haven't had time to try it yet, but it sounds like a fan of older school turn based battle systems will feel right at home here.

I'm still not a fan of the 3D chibi artstyle, but I hear the stacking mechanic is fun and basically required the chibi art, so I'll give it a fair shake.
 
Question for anyone past the forest in the beginning.

How do I transfigure my Cockatrice into a Valefor? Also, is it permanent? I have the Valefor memento, but the Prism Case shows nothing on Cockatrice.

I ran away and went back to it later so I didn't defeat it like you did, but there have been other one-time monsters like in the Mirelurks (sp?) or the Holy Dragons in the ice cave that I couldn't capture because I didn't have the right elemental or whatever on me, but I can't possibly imagine that you won't be able to get that stuff later either via the coliseum or having them appear as regular enemies later etc. Having a game about collecting Mirages then having a ton of them be one-time missable would seem dumb. I've also already seen two enemies that were in Mirelurks (again not sure if I'm remembering the name correctly, the high level purple cube monsters) pop up as regular enemies in a later area.

You choose what form you want to transfigure into, it's not permanent.

I have it in my stack currently. You have to purchase it on the Mirage Board and then Seraphie will allow you to transfig in the Prism Case.

Ah.

My brain spent so much effort in equating concepts to Pokemon that a "pokeball" which doesn't break if unsuccessful was incomprehensible =P
 
There was something about Enna Kros that was bugging me, and I finally figured it out this morning: her outfit is extremely similar to Fox McCloud's. Just a weird thing that probably only bugs me. :P
 
Uh so just unlocked the intervention quests. What are the icons next to the quests listed about? Are they some sort of currency or something?

Arma Gems are used to initiate Intervention quests and buy champion medals. They are earned strictly through boss fights throughout story (also very low chance of earning them in online coliseum battles). Then enemies drop them in certain dungeons post-game.
