Sidequest marsh spoiler
I'm not at endgame yet so I can't say how it exactly ties in, but at the sidequest in the march where you've got to go to the top of exile fortress they mention that the spiders were the enemies of the giants. Guess that has something to do with it.
Figure this is a good place to ask. I've got potential spoiler questions regarding the skill trees. Read on if you know information about them please.
Does anyone know where to find good detailed information on how to get the 4th and 5th skill trees. I've been looking around and everyone online just seems vague and not 100% on how to unlock these things. I've gotten Melia's 4th tree and I need to get Skulk's because he's about finished leveling all 3. I assume I can't access the 5th set because of how far I am in the game, but 4th should be open game for everyone.
Yes, I got that part. And even more, considering I finished the game and most of the endgame. It's just... That part of the background story is very elaborate, but seems to lead nowhere - unless I missed something important. Either way, it's lore, and I really appreciate it's existence. Helps to make the world feel even more alive.Antagon said:
Lore spoiler, nothing about the actual game storyline:
It seems the White Spiders caused the extinction of the giants millenia ago, after the Soothsayer died. Why did they wipe out the giants, but not the Homs, Nopon or High Entia? It seems they ruled over Bionis for some time, then basically vanished for some unknown reason. Are the giant spiders now dwelling in caves even White Spiders? Or are they some much weaker (and presumably far less intelligent) bastard offspring?

I knew about that part due to some japanese promo video showing it and it still freaked me out. The sidequest related is great by the way
When you place the mirror onto the shrine on top of Exile Forest, I was like "yeah I'm sure there's gonna be a spider jumping on me or something", then there's THREE of them... I really hate spiders >.<

This game is amazing, holy shit.
Some boring hunt quests, but I guess Monolith is just trying to make you more familiar with the area.

She's there right after you fought those earlier spiders. Got killed by them (they cheated, knocked Sharla off of the fortress), went back a bit later for revenge and saw no spider. Until I ran over to the altar and saw a spider leg coming over the edge and a red icon above it.
Location / storyline spoiler, about 60 hours in for me but most seem to get there earlier:
Was let down by sword valley. I knew that it looked somewhat boring from the intro, but hoped that was only a small part of it and the rest would be more exciting. But no, the whole area was boring. Was kinda affraid that these boring environments would continue, but luckilly the fallen hand / arm after that was amazing again.

im so glad that the BEST RPG OF ALL TIME is getting the attention it deserves.
My copy shipped a few days ago. Oh man, this waiting is killing me.
Anyways, for those who are new to Dolphin, I have a little tip that I use with some rpgs (specially Tales of Symphonia) that works with any game.
You need to do this:
1) Download Joy2Key: http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey English Version.htm
2) Find a button that is not used in the game and assign the "TAB" key to that button.
3) That's it!
What this does is while you're in game, if you hold that button, the framerate is unlocked, speeding up the game x2 or more. Kinda like the speedup button in Chrono Cross or FFXII International. Release the button and the framerate goes back to normal.

I'm now beginning gem crafting in the hope it'll give me what I need to actually hit the super bosses.
I used up 3 rare green crystals with agility plus at 43%, took Sharla and Shulk, got a Fever effect, the craft went into Megaheat...and I ended up with 2 Agility VI 50 gems...just perfect
Now I need to repeat that process one more time with Agility, and a bunch of times on other effects as well.
Gem crafting is really about luck, you can choose some parameters but ultimately, I don't see a sure way to obtain what you want at all times. But oh well, it's only a matter of saving and reloading.
On another note, got a total of 250 Affinity Coins minus the ones from super bosses, but there's so much I want to link that would help me against them If we get one more coin per unique in a new game +, maybe it's better to wait until then but with all the new releases coming, I don't think I'll have the time to refinish the game one more time. So I hope 250 will be enough.

lol why the title change
So I'm trying to think back, is it commonly agreed to switch out Reyn for
once that character becomes available? Seems to have aggro/toppling skills, which is what I was using Reyn for.
Minor spoiler because it's pretty obvious early on that that character is joining you but, I'll err on the side of caution.

Yup, about to do this myself. This thread is making me crazy.
No more new quests! Done the maximum that can be done in a playthrough, ticked them all off on the wiki and ended up with a grand total of 423 excluding story quests.
My God. Now I've just got to:
- Get the rest of the arts manuals.
- Finish grinding hearts for everyone.
- See all the Heart-to-Hearts.
- Finish learning everyone's skills (one certain individual is miles behind for some reason)
- Uniques uniques uniques
- Finish off the last remaining play awards.
- Actually finish the game.
Already up to 162:08 playtime.

nabbed a copy of this off a friend, got it working on the wii.
Really fantastic game so far. I've sunk 11 hours in and I'm only onto the Bionis leg section (though I am a compulsive finish absolutely everything before moving on kind of person). My only main complaint: What the fuck kind of a name for a protagonist is Shulk?

The most intense battle I had so far.
The fucking bitch kept using Artes III, over and over again. Poor Reyn.

I'm bailing out of this thread until I finish the game. I don't even want to see any more small, accidental spoilers. But I just want it to say that, six hours in, it's exactly what I was hoping it would be. That rare kind of game where I may take a couple of vacation days off work to finish, because I don't want to do anything else.
How much longer of the story?Phenomic said:
Decent amount still, you're maybe 70% of the way in?
Not all that long, you should probably be starting to get on top of them now if you want to have any hope of doing them all. Especially the ones in the area you're in, the last couple of areas and the next few.
It's pretty hard to not miss any at all if you're not using guides though. Even if you do every one you've got in your list there's still a chance you'll let one NPC slip, or you'll miss one that needs something from one of the missable areas and is therefore missable in itself... Probably just best not to worry about it. I don't believe any of the really important ones that give you skill lines etc are missable.

Oh, you've now played more than me. I'm at 160:18 (although I spent a LOT of time reloading the game for drops and monsters)Varion said:
There are still quests I don't have, I'm at 420 excluding story quests but right now I'm into gem crafting.
1) Need to grind AP to max each art (got all books)
2) Need to grind SP for the last skills (only very few left)
3) Need to kill the 4 super bosses (shoud've beaten the other uniques, 250 affinity coins)
4) Gem craft quite a bit to boost up my gear against those super bosses (now I know quite good how it works so that won't take long)
5) Records achievements to complete if I feel like it
6) Find the remaining quests
In no particuliar order.
Although I'm wondering if only 250 Affinity coins is enough to get everything valuable against very high level bosses :/ It would be easier to down them in NG+ but I probably won't do a second playthrough anytime soon...

How I am supposed to kill them?.. Do I have no other choice than grinding? I haven't found someone to trade that item with.. .. Oh and I still don't know what -area spoiler-
