Comfy gameplay discussions only. No schizos here.
Expedition 33
op here im trans btw
doing some damage tests with Monoco
hm what can I do to do more damage
oh I forgot Burn Affinity, easy extra 25% damage
put it on
I do LESS damage than before
Wtf?
trannies hate this game lol
Maelle will win GOTY
Worst game I ever played, uninstalled and deleted the iso already
I love french women and their lack of shaving
Verso is mogging Maelle hard. What do?
Hows this run on steam deck?
(I don't have the oled)
Simon is destroying my asshole.
So is this french misery slop or what?
Yes but there's some actually funny humor in between too
Damage cap is so ass
What where they thinking
im 35 hours in and i feel like i still dont get lune stains mechanic
The game unironically became less fun after you get the damage cap removed. Enjoy having it while you can.
Damage cap unlocks later on.
Please never post this gain
Go all in on Last Stand + Death's Door crit nuke Maelle
again*
Just got to epilogue, where do i go now? Lvl 50. All the relationship quests are too high lvl it seems, and going back to lumiere is the end of the game?
how are u guys dealing this much damage
my sciel can do like 50k and I thought that was impressive
I just got the (Steam) platinum and I don't get it either
Do the final boss first, you'll probably already nearly waltz over it at 50.
Then finish up any lower level optional stuff, and then I think it's best to start with the Frozen Heart dungeon behind Monoco's Station, that's one of the best places to level before tackling the really hard stuff. High level enemies but they all have easy mechanics.
It's just each skill creates a color and can use colors for additional effects. Light can take the place of any color
The thing is I honestly don't think the mechanic matters too much because if you build her in such a way that you only focus on one element and then you don't need to worry about the mechanic.
Fucking whe.Ive just killed both axons
Oh i can kill renior and still play? Thought that would bring me to ng+
This is nothing, Maelle can do hundreds of millions.
...Well so can Monoco because he has a move that scales up extremely fast, but by the time you hit 100,000,000 every enemy in the game will be long dead.
is this AI or a mod
How about story discussion?
Anyone else think Act 3 Alicia-Maelle is a completely different character from Maelle? Even small things like facial expressions, voice intonation seem like they deliberately try to set her apart from the Maelle up until then. Maybe I'm just trying to read too much in it because she essentially becomes the antagonist. Moments like her erasing Painted Alicia without letting Verso even say goodbye really make her seem less empathic than Maelle previously was.
Once final boss is dead it stays dead but you can return to the postgame and finish up stuff. NG+ start becomes an option at any flag.
tfw 1:45 youtube.com
I'm genuinely surprised just how fucking GOOD this game was.
Holy FUCK, this sets a new standard when it comes to rpgs.
Fucking frenchies are the new standard.
This OST man. Even the optional endgame stuff has some hidden bangers.
youtu.be
squeenix should take notes
AI, but I have no doubt one will show up on moddinghaven at some point
Can we have story discussions here?
I hate how they killed off Gustav. Verso is cool, but he just ain't the same.
Everyone, I mean EVERYONE needs to take notes.
Holy FUCK.
Just the amount of balls they had to do what they did with Gustave, the combat was fucking fun and amazing, the leveling and skill system and creating builds.
The fucking STORY and how depressing it was.
The fact they managed to shoehorn some godlike beings in standard jrpg settings but this one made ACTUAL fucking sense.
No real happy endings and its just straight up depressing.
Can someone give me a Maelle build please
I'm not having fun using her
creepy black and white girl shows up in a dream and starts spouting nonsensical vague poetry like Genesis in Crisis Core
at the end of the game it makes perfect sense
They really did try to make an FF but right huh?
Damn this makes Xenoblade UI look minimalist
Destroy the fucking canvas.
EU will be cleaning up all the GOTY noms this year.
Split Fiction
KCD2
Clair Obscure
Steeled Strike
We Vergil now.
I did, Verso and Renoir are right
I hated it too, but its masterpiece tier though.
Too many rpgs play it safe and we have to mourn the death of some side fucker we don't give a fuck about and all our characters are sobbing their eyes out over some shitter that never had meaningful screentime.
Here, you actually FEEL it, one of the most impactful I've seen, probably the best done one.
And again it makes you respect the world and story and realize this IS a sad story, not an upbeat one.
The UI is the game's weak point, but the battle screen is the least offender really. There is just that much information to keep track of.
But why? Just dont let the crazy bitch inside it any more. Thats literally all they had to do. Renoir could have popped out and put lobotomized her but instead he tries to genocide everything
Verso is basically Marche if he had motivations and a viewpoint that amounted to more than being pedantic.
I want to fuck Maelle.
And Lune.
Why didnt maelle just remake gystave like she did everyone else? She went around and got every expeditioner's chroma, so she has his. I wanted to play gustave in my epilogue
how did he even get in here?
Here, you actually FEEL it, one of the most impactful I've seen
It's the opposite though. No one but Maelle gave a fuck about his death then he gets replaced and cucked pretty much instantly. Not enough time to mourn and properly feel the impact of his death. Should've saved it for act 2 or something to make players more invested instead of shock value.
What skills do you guys use for Monoco?
I want to fuck Maelle.
And Alicia.
holy fuck you can get the duelist as a skill?
Gustave didn't die to Nevrons, his chroma wasn't crystallzie but returned to the Paintress and then to Renoir.
I'm more surprised Acy 3 Renoir didn't try to use Gustave's memory in some way to waylay the party.
he gets replaced and cucked pretty much instantly.
This is what i hated about it. We should have been left with the three girls for a brief period to let that moment have some weight. Instead he is literally replaced and all his shit is equipped onto "gustave but better."
retard
I fucking knew Monoco is going to be busted as fuck.
But still I benched him immediately because it requires a right state of mind to start fucking around with blue mage characters.
You gonna expand on that or did you just pick me out of a hat to bait me for attention
I will only play this game if I win the jackpot In The lottery
Was it ever explained what the difference btwn nevrons and the "people" made by the paintress was? I thought that renoir was basically a nevron
I usually really don't like when vidya writers try to force bad/bittersweet endings in a pretentious way, but with E33 it works because it really is misery porn from the start.
I benched him because i didnt want to deal with solving his AP issues. I always felt short compared to the other characters
Maybe you extra rushed it?
It was super impactful to me, he pretty much was the "heart" of the fucking team.
No idea how you could not feel attached to him when he's literally the driving force of it all.
I actually felt pretty bad for Gustave when we learn that ||Verso purposefully waited for Renoir to kill him before saving the rest of the party. He then replaced him and then banged his friends. Truly made just to suffer.||
inverted status makes your character black
what did the devs mean by this?
Painted Renoir was just born as a human then given immortality during Expedition Zero. Not a nevron.
If we ever get DLC I bet it'll be about Expedition Zero.
Everyone is attractive, no homosexuals, huge emphasis on family and a love for life, the only black person with voice lines dies 30 minutes into the game, several suicides shown and mentioned, "badass" women are shown as weaker as the men and need protection, strong cultural and national identity with zero modern messaging. Games like this and Black Myth Wukong are like pouring acid into a tranny's eyes.
Don't get me wrong I was attached to him. But like I said the GAME rushed it. He gets killed, Maelle cried for a scene, the two other lesbians spent a minute grieving, then they moved on and he was replaced with the "Cooler Gustave."
I would have been more okay with it if he actually died saving maelle instead of basically dying having no impact. He didnt even buy them any time, he died instantly
The fuck?
She's agonizing over him for a long while, and then finally carve out a grave for him, and she STILL keeps writing in his fucking journal.
Do you even play the fucking game.
1v1 one of the STRONGEST entities out there
LOL Y HE DIE LIKE NOTHING
Didn't see the part he blasted him halfway across the cave and have him bloodied?
Gustave was a fucking BEAST.
Yes Anon, like I said only Maelle is really sad over his death. Everyone else just moves on and you get a better replacement literally right after lel
Not only that. If you do Maelle's Act III optional quest Verso reveals he could've intervened sooner and saved Gustave and deliberately didn't so he could manipulate Maelle into destroying the canvas without interference.
One of the only things I really dislike about this game is how easy it is to obliterate the endgame bosses. I had more trouble with the optional mid boss in the first area of the game than I did with Simon. Feels like the only real way to challenge yourself might be to do something like a no picto run.
the person he was closest to was most sad
Ummm...Yeah?
You expected Lune to sit down and cry all day when she was the one who convinced Gustave to man the fuck up when he said his whole group die?
Are you stupid?
Is this just story skipping?
That spoiler seemed pretty obvious to me. Made me annoyed i had to play as him afterwards. The game didnt need the act 1 "twist" and the game would have been more fun with gustave leading the charge. Its still fun but not the way i would take the story.
Gives me Last of us 2 feels, where people suddenly play as abbie but dont like her but still forced to play as her
Squeenix (well, Squaresoft) did do it first, you know.
They just need to remember who they used to be. Maybe something like this can remind them.
Dualliste weapon Verso is pure powercreep.
One person disliikes that, one person loves that. I myself prefer cheese combos existing, figuring the absolutely most broken shit out. You don't get that enjoyment out of moire "curated" experiences where player choice amount to just minimal stat increases.
I really like Verso though, probably more than Gustave. Ben Starr also did a better job with him than FF16 Clive. Less yelling yet more emotion.
Ive been playing using as few lumina things as possible and everything seems pretty balanced so far, though the trash mobs before the paintress did way more damage than either she or renoir did so im not sure what thats about
I can't parry or even dodge for shit so Verso is benched for me.
Maelle oneshotting anything on the first turn is my crutch.
I actually didn't mind Abby so much because I knew we would be playing as Ellie and not Joel. Replacing Gustav with Verso is just annoying even if it was done for narrative reasons. Doubly so as you said the story can clearly work with Gustav alive.
Can you stop avatarfagging and shitting up the thread thanks.
True, but this is like a perfected form of it.
It even perfects the whole "NOW A RANDOM GOD APPEARS KILL IT!!!111".
Its fucking brilliant, except in this case they aren't "gods" just regular people and the actual protags are just the creations.
So you instantly feel connected to the painters the moment their story comes out, it instantly makes the villains sympathetic.
Fucking genius.
I like it in this game in particular because it's either having to do rollslop memorization or just come up with a good build.
You wouldn't see me doing one shot combos in an SMT game.
tfw was having a bit of fun putting gustave in the gestral outfit
tfw the big emotional cutscene is with gustave wearing that stupid clown outfit
Not fair
just regular people and the actual protags are just the creations
But people are just creations of god. And these "regular people" are literally magical beings spending decades in a trance inside a painted world.
Act 3 becomes very Manet with Maelle in her swimsuit and Verso in Renoir's suit.
I do wonder if time flows differently inside or if the Painters are just hundreds of years old.
And these "regular people" are literally magical beings
Magical beings that die from house fires....?
Can you guys STOP story skipping???
2nd axon was peak gameplay the whole level was kino
I was hoping charm would be a bigger part of the game after i got the immunity charm. I liked the idea of being charm immune and casting "burden" on verso to cleanse everyone but i only got to use it once
ATB AND TURN-BASED GOAT
STAGGERSLOP GARBAGE DEAD ON ARRIVAL
Why cant they be magical being and also die to fire? Being able to create worlds with a canvas doesn't really have much defensive capabilities against fire.
Also you are very gay for avatarfagging. Like a huge faggot
wait why is this nigga so easy?
.....OH
Why is Pontiff Sulyvahn in this webm?
Comfy gameplay discussions
But the gameplay in this game is the opposite of comfy
If i wanted to replay this should i go ng+ or just do a new game? Is the balancing too broken for ng+ to be fun?
Its super comfy except the sprint is super strict and doesnt let me nudge the stick at all without stopping sprinting.
They aren't magical beings, you stupid bitch.
Are we magical beings for being in VR chat??
Holy fuck, how do you cope being this fucking stupid?
SHE'S 16
Where do you get that headpiece?
You need to have guitar hero tier timing in your parrys to not get one-shotted. That's not comfy
think it's the deluxe edition clothing back dlc. it has rose theme stuff
1 shot
Are you people even playing the fucking game??
equip a pictos that reduces dmg by 50%
another one that reduces it by 30%
another that gives me a shield
another that instantly gives me rez
another that gives me def procs when lower than 50%
GG EZ.
Maybe fucking try exploring the fucking game?
When was the last time a npc in vrchat gained sentience, had an existencial crisis and tried to destroy its creator?
guitar hero tier timing
But its 1 button. And the majority of attacks have an audio cue with them, you could probably parry easier with your eyes closed and just listening for it than watching the swing
their Ai is more advanced so....le magical beings
Holy shit, its really sad that this game will never be truly appreciated because low IQ shitters feel the need to play the game.
Stick to fucking CoD or Madden or whatever you fucking double digit IQ niggers play nowadays.
thx using Creamapi right now
where do you get the duellist skill?
I'm tone deaf
The highest amount of astroturfing I've seen so far this year, game is shit
the eternal tower or whatever its called
Not enough skills or slots for characters, so generally you find what works and never change. I think the further into the game I went the more boring combat got on Expert. So many useless shit too
Or just make her do Trick into Genesis every turn with 90+% crit. Kinda wish every Ice skill applied Slow atleast or more gimmicks cause Fire is so much better compared to the others just purely cause it stacks infinitely. Earth is your Break stuff, and they could have done something with Lightning
from duelliste, but since you won't have monoco at that point in the story, you'll have to kill him again in the endless tower (and I think he appears somewhere else but I've forgotten)
Mayhem and Genesis doesn't require you to engage in that mechanic
You can also just use any skill to get a light stain before using Trick when an enemy is absorbing an element.
Why spend an hour whittling down a superboss with little risk when you can do it in a couple or even the first turn anyway?
Sciel is fantastic when she's alone and equipped with full solo perks. she can actually solo bosses.
10 hours in
Just realized this cheevo exists
OH fuck, dont tell me this thing is missable.
Missing 1 Monoco skill despite completing all of the end game
Look it up
it's from grosse tete(the bouncy face motherfucker)
already killed him without Monoco and he doesn't show up anywhere else
That is quite literally any character early in the game
+50% damage, 100% crit and whatever powerful gives you is a hell of a drug
Because I play the game and you don't.
And they cap your dmg at 9,999 you turbo fucking dipshit.
Play
The
Fucking
Game
He's to the right of the stage performers in a corner towards the end of the harbor. Definitely missable if you aren't combing the area.
I'm only 3 hours into it and having a blast.
I was worried at first that I was in for a bad time since I normally fucking suck at QTE and dodging/parrying is huge but the game feels pretty generous and intuitive once I got the hang of it.
Hes in the Flying Manor too.
Why was act 3 so short?
feel a bit cheated t bh when Act 2 was like 20 hours
anime avatar fag
I beat the WHOLE game in expert mode.
I started the game on it and ended on it.
While you scrubs are having a tough time on baby easy mode, fucking PATHETIC.
Right at the end of the game so it might aswell not be in the game, no im not autistically gonna look for strong bosses and tediously grind my weapons for no reason when the game has already ended
And they cap your dmg at 9,999 you turbo fucking dipshit.
Play
The
Fucking
Game
How about you finish Act 2 and then come back to apologize.
Modern games basically never let you completely break the balance like this one does and let you just do 50 million damage in one hit to instantly kill the superboss
Dafuq? I already finished it and I didn't run into him. Where in there is he hanging out? Not that it matters now since I'm in ng+ so I'll just have to get it from him wWMHNS
hen I reach the world map version.
Act 3 has way more optional content including story content than you'd expect.
It's a shame they made some of it optional because doing it does mean you end up oneshotting the final boss.
Shill thread, literally turn based avowed tier with parrying.
Cant remember the exact location but hes definitely there somewhere. Just one though.
wWMHNS
fucking captcha
That is pretty much the ending of the game, stupid fucking BITCH.
Since the moment I finished Act 2 I went straight to kill the final boss.
Well whatever guess i'll start a new game and get it in 5 minutes and continue my save as normal
Googled what it drops just for curiosity
Drops one of the records needed for ANOTHER cheevo
For fucks sake, does anyone know if the game has New Game+ so i dont need to restart from zer-
Oh, someone already answered my question.
Do I just level Agility and Luck evenly? Other stats seem pointless.
Vitality 20, AGility 47, Luck 35, and after that you put everything in Might + whatever scales with your chosen weapon.
vit def and agi
luck if youre not dying
don't forget the stats on the pictos itself
He deserved better....
You should go straight to the final boss if you want it to be any kind of challenge, but after that there's an optional 25% of the game in the postgame.
the main game should have been 60 hours long instead of 40 with all of the optional areas being mandatory, what the fuck were they thinking
I had to install the slightly easier parrying mod and now I can parry more consistently but still not completely take the challenge away.
I installed ez mode
Do people seriously???
That is until you learn he was a fake human NPC that was literally created with paint on a canvas and his killer was the real human with emotions all along
No
Leave
but still not completely take the challenge away.
kek
Yes, you sweaty ape. I was playing normal mode and switched to easy and noticed i parried much more consistently. I installed the slightly easier parry mod and went back to normal difficulty. It feels just right, now.
Yes, i was promised a third act, all i got was a boss rush that needed some levels to split them up badly
Yes. What i said. How is it so hard to understand?
so just play on easy mode? clearly you know you're too shit for even normal so why keep lying to yourself
his killer was the real human with emotions all along
He was also an NPC. The real Renoir is the curator
Because easy was too easy.
Cringe story skipper.
will never get why gamers constantly want to play games on hard more, in your case fucking NORMAL mode when they're plain shit at them
this is why nowadays games on normal are actually easy and hard is the normal difficulty
So do you think the real Renoir and his family are some kind of deitys/gods with the ability to create life or just normies with a weird hobby and do too many drugs probably[/spoiler
It doesnt help im playing this on my steam deck. I can get mid 40fps on average with some tweaking.
The latter. If they spent longer in other canvas' time probably passes differently and conflict with Writers Guild probably hundreds of years long.
Not playing this game on expert mode is a mistake for everyone.
I played it ENTIRELY on expert and it was fun as fuck, stuck?
EXPLORE, get more pictos, lvl up, find more treasure, try out different builds, practice enemy patterns...etc
It's fun as fuck.
You don't need to parry.
SIXTY PERCENT of players just ran straight forward to the dock without exploring the starting area
Oh, so that's why devs keep making moviegames
Parryijg feels more instant than dodging which somehow feels worse yet should be more forgiving.
Most people dont know that you can spam the dialogue of the couple having sex and you get a lumina.
That's a you problem and you don't need to dodge literally everything either
They're normies. They live in a reality where people can create living worlds on a canvas that they can enter and manipulate. I wouldn't be surprised if the Writers have a similar sort of thing going on but with whatever medium their writing applies to(probably books).
funniest thing is those people will also rate the game as being really good while not even fully engaging with it, they're just following the herd even if the game is good
I miss Gustave...
I know parrying becomes more essential in late game so your argument is a wash
It never becomes "essential" at any point.
It's funny, I considered this the real tutorial as you can just spam the fight until you get it right. Same with second Maelle duel.
This is unironically the best RPG out there.
How the FUCK did they manage to do it.
To be fair I found the mime on my first playthrough but somehow missed Sophie's blind sewing teacher which gets you a costume for Gustav. Maybe I just got too distracted by the people that were boning behind that nearby locked door.
Ironically, later on it becomes THE worst weapon in game because its base damage is an ass and you cant get more than 1 extra turn so it becomes obsolete.
"One thing that we found recently is that as graphics get better and better, and as characters become more realistic and more photo-real, is that the combination of that realism with the very unreal sense of turn-based commands doesn't really fit together."
"Some people are fine with it. They're fine with having these realistic characters in this unreal type of system. But then on the other hand, there are people that just can't get over it. I mean, if you have a character holding a gun, why can't you just press the button to have the gunfire – why do you need a command in there?"
No, I never parried to beat any of the optional bosses.
It does not explain their tendency to literally assassinate each other's children. For some normalfag hobby it sounds really fucking excessive.
t. hour+ long fight enjoyer
kek
I am pretty sure its the opposite. By lategame you can, for example, shit out ungodly amount of shields. I did not try another setup but if it works you can get like 4+/turn, maybe more.
3 minutes actually
You never played the game
It becomes less essential if anything. Once you start getting the ability to apply shields around the mid game you are given far more room for errors.
I feel like the one that starts you with half hp and B rank is better later on.
Hi
Bro you literally have to hold your hand to not deal 8+ figure damage every turn with Maelle or Monke. Some of their skills are fucking unreasonable.
what a sick combat system. it really opens opens up around the time you get esquie. you get some good luminas and it gets really fun just destroying everything. AP is coming so fast I don't know what to do with it. Sciel+luminas where you give allies ap and rush on heal is the goat
That's just standard feuding groups behavior.
15 porn pics on rule34
90% are AI pics
Final fantasy killer ?
don't make me vomit
This sounds like a goalpost move since people insult you if you struggle to land parries early game whilst lategame chuds are stacking shields and priority moves avoiding it altogether. More like skill issues for everyone. LMAO, even.
I am honestly kind of struggling with figuring out what do I want him to wear. I do enjoy 10 free aim hit attack build though, it strong but not retarded like.. CERTAIN MAELLE SKILL.
your kind should be round up and shot
'Sup. Drop fren code or you're a noballs tranny.
what skill?
u mad ?
Would you?
people are too occupied with the game to jerk off
this is bad somehow
Gooners, everyone.
Gaulteram is comfy
Rule34 has a button to hide AI slop now. Use it.
EXPLORE, get more pictos, lvl up, find more treasure, try out different builds
I'm only a short way into the game on Expert but as far as I can tell the only advice that actually matters for playing on expert is to not miss any parries and to restart the fight if you do miss a parry, where parry timing is visibly tighter than Sekiro just in a one dimensional environment where you don't have to think about anything other than standing there and pressing one button
This will probably become annoying quickly
I seriously fucking hope this game is a success, it's a genuine masterpiece, oozes with fucking SOUL
it already is
Yes, would also pic related
the glazing of this mid fake indie ff clone is the biggest red flag
It's easy to hit the damage cap as early as act 1 and you can even 'break' it with multi hit moves doing over 10k+
????
There is only one chroma infused nevron that FORCES you to parry his attacks.
You have no reason to ever parry nor did I ever.
I dodged everything.
I played the game on normal, but by the time I got to the endgame optional content in act 3 my entire party would essentially die from failing to evade a single aoe attack, so at that point there's functionally no difference between the difficulties anymore
your mother will die from cancer
Beware of spoilers unlockable later on stendhal
I am convinced devs fucked something up with damage effectiveness. I am pretty sure people will record like 100 mil damage/hit with this shit. During my tests it was so dusgisting I had to throw it off the bar.
Parrying vs Dodging is about how long you want the fight to take. I find I don't generate that much AP if I don't parry, and later on the counter attacks can do hundreds of thousands of damage.
A single aoe attack would just easily get absorbed by 1 shield at that point in the game
Level 30 health/defense pictos also give you enough to survive a few hits
Is Sciel actually good? Her gimmick seems annoying. I know theres a blue mage guy later thats probably gonna be busted but also probably even more annoying to manage. I'm keeping Lune and Maelle in at all times.
is the game actually good? I hated every moment of FF7 remake
Simon does 8k damage
Every character is a meme but Verso and Moniko
I dodged
That's the same thing dumbass you're just pressing a different button, there's no meaningful distinction
Not failing the rhythm game appears to be 300x more important than anything else I do in game
Maybe play the fucking game and EXPLORE???
There is a million pictos that give you a ton of fucking AP.
I swear you retards need to fucking EXPLORE.
You can use dodger so you gain AP while parrying and there's energising pain that gives you AP just for using up your health/shields
For Simon you can just build 3x speed and revive the dead character since everyone will have Cheater at that point too
Yeah. It's more like ff7 classic+sekiro+freeaim shooter.
It's FFX meets Sekiro
/bag/gotposter
Yes, you gachaslop subhuman. You EXPLORE to find treasurs unlike that nogameplay kusoge you like so much.
every time someone someone ensures you parties/dodges are mandatory he is like 1h into the game and is getting fucked by one of the few above-the-average-difficulty enemies
After playing the game I am strongly convincend I can do a no dodge/party run, and only sketch part will actually be very lategame because I am not sure if I'd be able to get into shield spam setup without dodging certain things. Builds do matter in this game, shit for op ideas is laying around everywhere.
It isnt, try playing the game stupid fuck
if dodge/parry negates all damage then unless there's some form of time limit/dps race mechanic added to later fights it will always be more important than anything the turn based combat system is doing
I hate Sekiro/soulslop but love this game.
There is something so unnatural of having full 3D movement but being locked into needing to press 1 button at the right time, it works in turn based because what else are you gonna do but react to attacks while your character stands still
you can stop spamming now
Fapping to micro bikini maelle's tight teenage ass
durr stop spamming please don't criticise my employer's game
Am I on fucking Reddit? Are you Fr*nch?
no homosexuals
You did not look very closely at the people in the prologue huh?
am I missing something? verso was in expedition zero intended to destroy the canvas but he was painted by Aline, why did she paint him with the intention of destroying it when she painted renoir etc specifically to defend it
the earlier expeditions were search and rescue
meds
Does anyone know what the track that plays in the Gestral village gambling area is? it had vocals but it doesn't seem to be in the Gestral Village part of the OST.
I like her a lot
tfw chose to play hundred line defense first because I assumed that I would finish it faster
tfw I was so absurdly fucking wrong
AAAAA IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR I WANT TO PLAY THE BAGUETTE RPG TOO
WHY THE FUCK DID BOTH GAMES HAVE TO RELEASE 3 FUCKING HOURS APART FROM EACH OTHER
If I kill this guy right now will I ruin the game? I figured out how to parry literally everything but it takes at least 15 minutes to fully kill him with verso constantly S rank maelle constantly virtuose shitting out 9999s every turn
Unless there is some crazy shield application every single character can do, I can't see people getting tanky enough to survive late-game combos without dodging/parrying.
choosing shovelware anime sloppa over the GOTY
kek at your life
I hate the high level bosses that are present in the world map. A normal person would realise that yoú are supposed to face them at a later level, but I am stupid and spending far too much time wittling them down.
My Verso never reaches S rank because he kills shits before even hitting A
Just bee yourself anon, I killed the chromatic abbest at level 5, took me like 30 minutes.
Was that even a true story?
To be fair, the shovelware anime sloppa is my GOTY so far, I'm just mad that the game is going on for so fucking long. I'm pretty sure that I would have already finished E33 by now if I had started it first
You already ruined it by being autistic about parrying everything so just do you, the extra levels don't matter that much
It doesn't fuck up game progression if that's what you're wondering. All of the world map bosses are optional content.
For those who come after...
Just be aware that every story boss is always going to be a lot easier than side content. I had to actively skip turns just to see what certain story bosses do.
Maybe Verso's soul got infused with the painted creation, similar to how Alicia got "taken over" by Aline when she jumped in and got pumped out as a baby.
I like Maelle more with white hair, there I said it.
I like Sekiro a lot myself but yes the system works nicely here. But the director has made no secret that the game was a big inspiration and it shows in the gameplay and higher difficulty.
Even if you can build to survive things without parrying that doesn't change the fact that the timing mini-game essentially overrides all other gameplay. That's like saying
Yes parrying makes everything else irrelephant but the game is ALSO so easy you don't even need to parry!
That's not a good thing
One thing I really like with this game that I haven't really seen anyone mention is how the battle damage stays until you rest at a flag. Everyone looks really fucked up when you just barely clear a fight and they'll stay that way through the cutscenes. A lot of games just magically wipe all the grime away when you're not looking.
Renoir isn't Gustave
the little girl with the mask isn't the final boss
the world gets overexplained towards the end
it could have been a bit better still GOTY
Alicia is very cute even if she's crispy.
Hugs with Alicia
Got all of Monoco's skills. The only good footfag, I love his dynamic with Verso so much.
the little girl with the mask isn't the final boss
In a roundabout sort of way she is.
???? why is he easy? I want to enjoy this boss fight but I'm literally first trying him?
I am agreeing with you, once you introduce active elements as a primary damage-negate, the other options are significantly worse. They eat up a turn or AP that could be used for damage, meanwhile dodging/parrying is inbetween and facilitate more damage. Old turn based RPGs had balanced numbers for "expected" levels players would be at and you would rotate healing, damage or buffing/debuffing while in this it feels damage only, parry everything.
Who is actually using the 3 healing/revive skills Lune has? You get like a ton of Revive tints, that don't cost AP and any character can do instead of waiting for Lune's turn to rotate around and if you have no light stains it costs 5AP.
Who is actually using the 3 healing/revive skills Lune has?
I used Maelle's phoenix revive once when I ran out of revive tints and it turned a lost cause into a win.
you can literally fight Clair Obscur
Kino
probably gave a hard time to playtesters and got nerfed
he asks a lot of the player with so many attacks and you have to kill him twice. he should have been harder on expert for sure
i did find him way easier than the mobs right before him, his slashes are way easier to see and parry than those delayed attacks from the mobs
Well hers is a gradient attack and doesn't use a turn, but also is 2 revives instead of 1.
If they wanted the active defense then a better way to do this would probably to rejig the functions of parry and dodge so the impact is softer
Parry is now easier to trigger, REDUCES damage instead of completely negating it, still triggers counter attack
Dodge is now harder to trigger, completely avoids damage, costs 1 AP
So the expectation is that you reduce incoming damage instead of completely avoiding it. This still makes RPG defenses/healing/revival relevant. If you're in a situation where you really can't tank the hit then you go for the dodge but this reduces your damage because you don't get the counter, and it costs you AP. So you prefer the option which still hurts you if you can survive, due to better damage output
I think this meshes much better with the rest of the combat system
If Sciel had revives people would be using it. Lune's nuke is too valuable to turn her into a support.
Verso was voiced by based giga Chad Clive
can even get an outfit inspired by Clive
Based
Just finished the main story. So Verso end is the good ending right?
How? The only ways I've found to apply shields is one of Maelles weapons can steal them and Moroco has a R2 special that gives you two. I finished the game relying on parry counter attacks to do most of my damage because I couldn't get anyone to do shit with attacks/skills.
I want all the cosmetics but I dont want to go find them, mod when
solidifying, base shield, shielding death, shielding tints, aegis revival
So the games good? How often is a western turn based RPG good?
Only other stuff seems to be very contextual pictos
+3 on battle start only
+1 on reviving
+2 one time per battle when you go below 50%
Monoco is definitely the best choice if you just want 2 damage dealers and have him buff.
I don't think I have any of these pictos...
I'm with Maelle on the ending. Especially because the "fake" canvas world is more interesting than the real one we inhabit, not even a cripple and I'd choose what she did. Hell, the all the proof you need is the fact that people currently living in the real world chose to experience that world for dozens of hours.
The canvas world being fake is a matter of perspective anyways. It's very much the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance debate all over again.
Weapon scaling feels completely worthless. My party is at level 24 and I had to respec some into might, because I was fooled by a letter "B" next to a stat as if it's Dark Souls. But these stats barely translate into any damage. Maybe in end game it's better I assume there will be "S" scaling ranks and I'll test but for now it's useless.
Never
that's why I'm skeptical
Everyone was always fucked in my game because I abused auto death, death bomb, buffs etc and then auto revive. Half the fights were over before they began.
very contextual
You'll naturally trigger revive shields and below hp shields by failing dodges
Most of it is later in the game. You can even pick up overleveled pictos as soon as you unlock flying.
Did someone say there's something special for sparing all the nevrons? I've been killing them right after completing their quests lol
Spent like $12 for three months of pc game pass for the first time and this game alone already made it worth it.
Scaling just gives you extra incentive to invest in those stats. If you want to pump Vitality anyways for the HP, here's some extra dmaage or whatever. It's not meant to make you dump every fucking stat point into what your weapon scales with.
Well their real world already seems more fantastical and interesting.
unf
100 lumina which you'll very much need for the 40 cost pictos
Any good reaction streams of the ending?
Agreed, i'd rather have limited life in fantasy than suffer longer in reality. Still felt bad for Verso
It's a trade-off though, they go insane/walking corpse on the outside. So in the end leaving the canvas is the better option. I don't know why they can't just visit time to time instead and have the best of both worlds.
GET BACK IN THE FUCKING WHEELCHAIR
sexooooooo0000000000oooooooooo
As soon as you get swimming you can head to the bottom of the map back to the beach where the expedition gets fucked up at the beginning of the game. At the back of that area are 2 of those hand nevrons hunched over a picto that gives you +3 shield on combat start but reduces you hp by half. You just need to grab their attention and then run away so you can circle around and grab it so that you aren't pulled into combat with them because they are end game level enemies.
It's a noob trap, the best stats are vit def and agi. With burn you don't need much luck either, the crit rate pictos will be enough.
The Writers and the Painters seem to have some fantastical powers in the real world
It only lacks Verso's creations like gestrals
It's crazy how the lip sync is awful but the eyes and the rest of the face is so expressive that that I didn't even notice the lips after a bit. I really wonder what happened there.
Especially because the "fake" canvas world is more interesting than the real one we inhabit
Except that the reality that they live in has magic painting worlds and who knows what else.
I don't know if it's poorly automated or handmade but they could take some pointers from squeenix. They did some technical presentation on UE4 where their automated lipsync looks great for literally any language they throw at it youtu.be
how the fuck does this game need lower specs than the oblivion remaster
Hell, the all the proof you need is the fact that people currently living in the real world chose to experience that world for dozens of hours.
But have to leave the game at some point and move on with actual life too, no? This is the issue with Maelle's choice, she won't limit her time inside and Verso knows this (as did Renoir). She will end up exactly as her mother, and the cycle of destruction within the family continues.
def
he invested a single point into vit or def
Git gud.
Didn't beat the game btw.
they put some actual effort into optimisation. When I first opened it I didn't really think that, but I realised that basically every setting shift gave me an actual tangible increase in frames that I haven't seen a game do in years. I started at 45fps or something and shifted three settings down one or two notches, at which point I suddenly hit 70fps.
Coupled with the low filesize, this game feels like a throwback from a bygone era in terms of PC port quality.
apart from the fact that I keep getting Unreal Engine Fatal Errors every couple hours.
Beyond the intro festival the game is incredibly simple and basic. Regular gameplay is a linear hallway with occasional loadscreens into a turn based battle where your fixed camera is pointed at 1-3 guys and you watch canned animations
There's no reason this game should have high system requirements
Chromatic Glissando
There is a fucking consistent frame drop when it does its third hit of the tail strike and its infuriating me.
I beat most things first try because of it, didn't need to replay fights because I would be able to just get the pattern while tanking hits.
This is not a soulslike so just take your meds.
It's easy to make graphic settings which meaningfully impact performance when your game is entirely GPU limited due to just being linear corridors and turn based combat from a fixed perspective. There should be dick all CPU load here
waiting for smooch
Most people are in the honeymoon phase with this game but we really need to emphasize how dogshit the game balance is.
The game balance is not much of a issue because of the damage cap ( which is a lazy way to "balance" the game ) but once the dmg cap is lifted, the glaring balance issues are revealed and you can pretty much one shot the final boss if do just a bit of side content. Doing side content quests SHOULDNT make the player powerful enough to one shot the final boss, a lot of player missed the epicness of the final fight because they just one shotted the final boss. It just feels like the game punishes the player for doing the side quests.
I'm glad i rushed the main story and was able to experience the final boss to the fullest on expert
Renoir's Vanish attack
Is the second hit a gradient or what? Can't seem to ever get it right.
Playable Renoir DLC when, I love that old man
Also, guess the next game gonna be about them evil writers? How are they going to justify asset reuse since everything is locked to Verso's Canvas
Can't say I'm surprised
I remember playing Yakuza 7 when it came out and had just switched to turn-based combat and the balance was equally fucked up there to the point that one character's basic gun attack overpowered literally every other move he could get
Enjoyable gameplay but I wish the story wasn't about some stupid family affair.
If you're going to tell me a story about family, make it funny and entertaining like mgs with nanomachines.
Verso was the only logical option to pick.....It called move the fuck on lel
you can pretty much one shot the final boss if do just a bit of side content. Doing side content quests SHOULDNT make the player powerful enough to one shot the final boss
You're not wrong but isn't this always a thing in jrpg's though? Optional content always leads to higher levels, overpowered skills and equipment since they're usually intended for the optional superbosses and such moreso than the main story.
The only problem is the act 3 side content not leveling up the final boss. The side content before that is fine so it's not much of a problem.
Some JRPGs final bosses scale with the player level/gear to prevent this things from happening.
I also rushed the story, completed the game in around 20 hours then decided to some side stuff and the pictos you get are insanely broken. I might try NG+ but if there's nothing new to the story it might not be worthwhile.
Does anyone know what NG+ adds?
The side content before that is fine
Not really, in Act 2, doing a bit of side content made Pontiff Sulivan piss easy. he just metls.
there are optional areas with no story to them, but are long and have unique bosses
a characters side story is relegated to a tiny area and a reused boss
Lame
Yea, as i said... pre-act 3 the balance issues isnt much of an issue because of the damage cap. The problem appears after the damage cap is removed.
Thats not wrong and if you go out of your way you can oneshot shit even with pre-9999 removal by using good builds with multihits and APgen.
But game's overall quality is so high I cant really bitch about devs fucking up endgame balance of their first game ever. I barely know RPGs that dont succumb to any kind of overfarm.
isn't this always a thing in jrpg's though?
It wasn't a problem in metaphor
Metaphor combat was very well balanced and I only had complaints about early mana farming and the reliance on certain weakness implanting abilities late game which were too good relative to other skills, but never to the point of trivialising combat
NG+ is just more HP
That's not a common feature I think. Not sure I've seen that often.
Don't try to do all of the content otherwise you'll ruin all of the content
This should NEVER be the case
I wouldnt mind if this kind of powercreep could be achieved with OVERFARM. The problem is that you can one shot the final boss doing story related side quests and content, without doing any kind of grind.
some chink imported DoA bikini's into the game
Holy fuck my dick
Thought so. I might do NG+ in future then.
people who want to gobble up all the content in a game in one playthrough are scum anyway. Akin to mcdonald's eaters.
Is there an easy way to avoid this which doesn't lock you out of any content or ruin the RPG and buildcraft?
Like can I just not upgrade weapons so my numbers are smaller but I still get to interact with all other systems?
How do you get pictos to level 15? I see someone using a lvl 15 version of the one i'm using with big dick stats, i need it
Fight higher level enemies and they have a chance to drop same pictos but higher levels.
only really by having dynamic levelling so things level alongside you, but that has its own problems where you never feel like you're actually getting any stronger.
So the way to fully enjoy the game is rush through the main quest and see the ending then doing the side stuff?
Verso bangs both Sciel and Lune
Japan could never
No just play the game normally and rush the final act when you get there
What?
No I'm asking how I, as the player, can engage with all of the interesting parts of the game while still keeping it challenging and interesting instead of oneshotting bosses because I dared to try and optimise my characters which is what you're supposed to do in an RPG
Nobody wants to intentionally make a shit build just to keep the game hard, making a shit build isn't interesting. Can I optimise my shit, use the right skills in a clever way, wear the right equipment bonuses but just not upgrade my weapons so that my damage stays at a manageable level?
Anyone else having trouble with finding versions of the soundtrack that play during some boss fights? Like I'm unable to find the one that played during fight with Renoir in Old Lumiere and the one from Simon's second phase, to be more specific the one that starts playing after he forces party switch.
god damn that Seething Bouchelier boss music
I played on PS5 and sometimes the music would randomly stop, clearly a bug/issue.
MAELLE WINS
What did she win?
yes, worth to do it for cheater on everyone
Didn't like the story
Hate the "it was all a dream/simulation/whatever" trope with a burning passion
Also, getting me to care about some fag after hours getting to know the mc is too much
I wager people will like it, but it's just not my tea
I think some stuff just isn't in the OST. I heard the Manor theme isn't in the official OST despite being a record you can find and play in the game.
I wonder if it's so they can sell a deluxe edition of the soundtrack or something down the line.
So did anyone else just abuse Auto Death and Death Bomb and on-death Buffs such as max AP etc? Linked with auto-revive you could basically walk through the entire game. Then I also realised you can essentially use the backup party as an intro Death Bomb too. Set up 2 party members to kill themselves and death bomb, then just use your main party stepping in afterwards. Basically broke the game except some fights near end-game. Having a party member die to give the other 2 max AP also seemed ridiculous.
Tried not doing optional post-story side content before finishing the story?
Bit like rushing 4x counter attack kotr then complaining sephiroth is too easy
Isn't Death bomb countered by shields
Some of the tracks are like 12 minutes long and a boss song is like a section of it, so some of them are a bit harder to track down. Old Lumiere Renoir is part of Une vie à t'aimer.
I missed the auto death picto so no, I just nuked mobs with Lune+Sciel in one turn
Yeah shields are the only setback to it, but my setup had 3 bombs going off, so if they were still up after that they were dead the next round with Lune finishing them with one big spell.
Are you a bot or an Indian? What part of this question is hard to follow? I'm at the start of the game, does the game allow me to just not upgrade weapons to keep damage manageable instead of skipping the content to keep damage manageable because one is obviously preferable to the other
Oh you went for the full Jihadist build
yes, let's sustain the artificial fantasy world relying on the remnants of a child's soul locked in eternal suffering slave labor
We've got an Omelas resident here.
Did they ever explain the Nevron who backs off when it see’s the flower? Right in act one? My initial theory was all the gommaged humans were repurposed into nevrons, and that was Sophie’s one hence the flashback immediately before the boss fight, but later that was disproven when you find out who actually made the nevrons
You can ignore upgrading weapons but be aware you will find same weapons from higher level enemies as you go which will replace it with a higher level version. So I guess you can't really avoid that.
Not him but:
Respec and make your stats ass
You can try not upgrading weapons but you will miss out on the cool weapon skills + they come pre-levelled or upgrade themselves
I would say respeccing is your best bet because it doesn't change anything except numbers
A lot of lorebombs get dropped in the optional postgame content.
I had the exact same notion, I thought they were all the humans reincarnated into the nevron/monsters. It would have been a better premise. I even thought the old man was Gustave and there was some kind of alternate dimension/time travel stuff going on. I didn't like how they kept the story so vague only to be "we're all in a painting"
you can't really avoid that
I KNEW I shouldn't have trusted the French
Act 2 ending is spectacular. This is one of the most well executed twists in videogames. A lot makes sense and it all comes together.
Same but I'm actually glad it wasn't because it would be the predictable path.
Generals belong on shill retard.
it was indeed a too easy fight
:D
I can already tell by all the animation jank that this game is of poor quality.
You lost, Eric
i did find him way easier than the mobs right before him, his slashes are way easier to see
If you make successful parries more important than any other interactions you have with the game then the difficulty of enemies will be determined by how good their animations are, where better animations = easier fight
This game is garbage. I am glad that I pirated this shill slop.
1 mil isn't enough. I need it needs to be 3 mil
Same, the premise was so cool but that trope instantly made me lose interest. Even if it's predictable I would have loved if it was all real but they kept the twist that the Paintress was holding back something worse. What's there is still well executed for what it was aiming for but if it's some meta narrative that we should also be happy to clock out and move on instead of getting attached to that world/canvas then I was right to hate the French.
Verso is a great character but the game setting him up as the player avatar via the camp and relationship system clashes hard with his backstory and goals.
no I will not follow you Verso
there will be a lot of fighting
pic related
I genuinely didn't think I would be laughing this much from the game, a lot of the hilarity really comes from the gestrals.
500K copies sold
huge success
lol
I was shamelessly self inserting as Gustave so it feels like I'm cucking myself with Verso (which makes me hard)
Yeah I thought it was setting up Maelle to be the real main character but instead you take the point of view of this mystery nigga who obviously knows more than he's letting on so it feels odd to walk around as him.
I do also think having Gustave lead the charge would make the game a lot more interesting, we started as him, we saw firsthand with him the loss of Sophie and have that motivation to stop the paintress and he's overall a lot more relatable.
Also robo arm plus gun combo makes him a lot more cooler too.
But also it would have been a lot more interesting if Verso and him interacted.
Many times throughout I wondered what kind of conversations Gustave and Verso would have had.
the thread's been up for over 5 hours, what took you so long?
Even if it's predictable I would have loved if it was all real but they kept the twist that the Paintress was holding back something worse
this is your brain on atlus slop
I think they could've just lopped Gustave's other arm off or something. Have him unable to fight, but he still leads the expedition. Verso can replace him in combat, maybe by saying that he didn't get there soon enough so he's helping out in fights to make up for it.
Follow the rules. Generals belong on
Never played one, but that's what The Paintress is doing only it's holding back Daddy Shart from getting his third boss fight. Feels bad for Gustave to know it was all for nothing.
like everything about Maelle
design, voice, her abilities
she becomes a complete cunt by the end of the game once she regains her memories
Fuck's sake.
every girl in this fucking game is the best girl... how do you decide who will be your waifu?
im 15h in and still can't decide
that second Renoir fight
I see the devs were FF VIII fans.
Simon steals the party's shields
The dead are removed from the canvas
oh no no no...
You use fire. You create a fire stain. You use electricity. It consumes a fire stain for more damage (even if you didnt deal more damage it also creates two lightning stains). You use the cheap earth move, it consumes a lightning stain and does more damage, you create a green stain. You use the earth move again, it consumes another lightning stain and does more damage, and now you have 2 green stains. You use heal, which now only costs 0ap instead of 3ap because you had 2 green stains.
FF invented lions
I did all the postgame stuff, thats how I know who made the nevrons, but unless I missed it they don’t explain that specific one with the flower?
that's what The Paintress is doing only it's holding back Daddy Shart from getting his third boss fight
amazing interpretation
Replacing Gustave for a Clive-clone mid-game was a bit too much on the nose, especially with the same VA.
janny applications are over, try next time
gonna cry?
Sciel doesn't look good in any of haircut
cursed girl
I think Artist was my fave on her.
just got done with the tutorial, playing on hard
is it normal to get oneshot or lose 90% of your hp every fight?
i like a challenge, but when i need to remember the moveset for every enemy in the game to beat every single fight i think im just gonna scale down the difficulty just to not have to do it 5x in a row to learn the timings
Yes it is normal at start. It'll get easier and you can break the game 15 levels in.
nooo please don't talk about this game that just came out!
gg bitch
did it at level 20 with full team
Doesn't count.
Everyone inside the painting is real and fully sentient Just because there's another layer of reality above them doesn't mean that this isn't the case.
Even at the end, the real Renoir says that their perspectives are valid.
Spoilers about the endings, please dont look unless youve cleared.
The Maelle ending was clearly the bad one right? How she literally forced the world to be under her control and for Verso to live in giga despair when he was clearly tired of it all even going as far as getting him NTR'd by Sciels husband/family, guess it somewhat tells us about her character and not being able to grow up and come to terms with reality even though her real form is messed up from the fire and no voice, i'm actually glad I picked Verso's path at the end of it all
Also I guess it was the writers guild that made reality so shitty for the family out there to start with, I kinda wish they had a bit more on Clea other than just being the big sister, but I feel like she had part in some of the bad shit that happened
Or buy an ad.
weapon that starts her in virtuous
lumina that doubles AP gain from any source
cheater double turn lumina
every other lumina that boosts damage
first strike
Stendahl
Stendahl
Stendahl
Maelle is a goddess.
Isn't that the case though? I thought they said The Paintress who is Verzo/Sharts Mother was using the monolith to ration out the gommage caused by Daddy Shart as he tries to erase the place. The number going down is her strength waning and with her gone everyone is immediately gommaged.
i wish we had another male party member for my bro party
He was busy with his 6 anti-shill threads
fictionalized world
historically inaccurate
DLC/Expansion is basically guaranteed at this point. Thoughts?
I got the perfect candidate
I think I sad this earlier in this thread but Alicia-Maelle is essentially a different character from Maelle. The Dessendres are a dysfunctional, broken family (very akin to the kind of family pantheons of gods they represent to the Canvas world). Every single one of them is broken.
Source?
dude trust me
Is this the frog 9/11?
I'm getting fucked in the ass by the Lampmaster as a lvl 18 party, should I just come back once I grind it to 20+ and have an easier time?
I can't time my parries and dodges for shit
Stop breaking the rules and either buy and ad or post your general on
I can't time my parries and dodges for shit
No grind can help you there friend.
double burn picto
46 stacks of fire from that 9 cost fire move mael has
Verso's choice is ultimately selfish as well, he dives into the portal at the end to erase the canvas because he's suicidal. There is no good ending.
honestly I probably could do it but it will take like an hour or so with no Maelle's counterdamage
Should i level up agility exclusively
Sciels tummy
Lunes feet
Maelles ass
Shadowheart is a cutie
so overpowered compared to the rest of her family that the two superbosses are things she made
Is there post game content like Elden Ring or do you get booted to NG?
seethe brownoid
You can just do all the side content at your leisure or start NG+ whenever you want from a flag.
STOP TALKING ABOUT A VIDEO GAME THAT CAME OUT LESS THAN A WEEK AGO THIS ISNT STEAMCHARTS
i think you should blow your brains out
seethe brownoid
Said the frog nigger worshipper.
gee thanks anon
Don't engage with spam, just report it.
It's probably the easiest to parry boss in the game. It just has bloated HP
Will there be any fights in A3 like in A2 where your team members are "stolen" and you are forced to fight with others? I know you dont have to fight anything in A2 during separation.
Renoir and Clea did nothing wrong. The rest of the family are useless fuck ups.
That Lune staredown at the end if you choose to side with Verso.
Don't think I've seen such hate depicted so coldly. Verso was a bitch for turning his back to her, the least he could have done was witness her final moments.
not really but the strongest optional end-boss can erase your party members so they can't be revived
Does anyone know if a 1, 3, 1 party set-up is possible? Just beat the final boss and going to do the side content and want to experiment a bit.
what the fuck is wrong with you?
you have four slots for passive temporary currencies. each ability spawns 1 or 2 of fire earth nigger currencies, or universal.
each spell you cast automatically uses the required currencies - provided you have them - to enhance the spell effects.
healing spells provide the universal currency so after a turn of healing you can make up for the lost dps with a guaranteed boosted spell.
Yeah I was just thinking if I need to make other 2 team members usable or not, because if that wouldve happened again in A3 I would be fucked probably.
I was told there were no consequences for doing it and free rewards from fighting them.
God damnit. Just fucking kill me.
Do you ever stop hearing Shart whenever Maelle opens her mouth? It's very distracting. It's making me want to play in French.
I can't believe that Maelle is fucking dead.
Stendhal in you are path
Your response Nevron?
You probably should, it's nice to be able to win a fight with your reserve team when you would have otherwise lost
If you just wanna stack shitloads of lumina points on a couple of guys though you can break the game like that
I turned off tutorials and play on the hardest difficulty. How the fuck does parrying and blocking work? I felt like a RETARD fighting Melle I got fucked up.
What is the name of song where you fight Alicia in Reacher, killed her 1 hit and totally missed it
There's a sound cue that you can listen to for parries. Dodges are pretty simple though.
When do you get this btw?
I'm currently pirating this, what difficulty should I play at?
After you unlock flying.
I must have missed some then, because I've unlocked flying and I didn't get these 100 luminas.
this game is so fucking ugly
Expert unless you're a shitter. It's so satifying.
No schizos here
You dont understand. They made a good game on purpose to shit on japan. Its a psyops! A PSYOPS!
But that's cheating!
This chick reminds me that I simped pretty hard for Vanille in ff13 when it came out.
i feel like maybe im just not into RPGs anymore neither this, metaphor or xenoblade got me hooked. im not one of those doomers either, i like modern videogames and have no issue getting into other modern stuff; i just can't seem to like these games. feels weird man.
Anyone on new game plus yet? Still going to do all the side stuff before going into new game plus but just want to know if it's actually a decent challenge. Felt like I missed out on fighting a lot of the story bosses since my party was pretty broken and ended things in a couple of turns.m before bosses were even able to do anything.
Does the game have Japanese audio?
Egg behaviour
behind this door is the most powerful force you ever felt
are you sure you wish to open the door?
yes
are you really sure
yes
proceed to oneshot the "threat" with Maelle's Stendahl
...
I'm going to have to do a no luminas, and no Maelle Act 3 ability run.
NG+ is hp bloat, if you get to level 99 and build your characters well you'll still one shot everything.
French is better
i'm not online much, what does that mean
Is there even a single cute boy in this game?
Game needs expert+ mode where main bosses have double the health so they stop dying so quickly
Very based thread.
Eggs hatch into trans
gameplay discussions only
it's a movie game and 99% of all discussions are about the gay asian webnovel tier story
make numba go big
such gameplay
wow
it's the same easymodo shitshow as any other jrpg and there is nothing to talk about other than damage numbers
? eggs hatch into birds, Monotremes or reptiles.
Post pics
God I'm glad this game sold like hotcakes and has spent a week locked in the top 3 of the Steam global best sellers. It's almost like your opinion flat out doesn't matter at all.
Just a friendly reminder for the half dozen marketing shills ITT that are talking with themselves in an attempt to astroturf this game.
so i'm looking at the Japanese opinion on the game, a lot of them can't handle the lack of mini map and get lost like bugs trying to find an open window before dropping it
mind = broken
buck = broken
getting lost in a corridor game
Absolutely insane just how trash japs are at video games.
Pontiff shows up for absolutely no reason
Did Anon Babble break or something? Nothing is getting bumped.
i was just watching G Gundam and the eiffel tower is the same way
lol they got hacked again
Just after the point where Gustave died. should I sail all around the place or go straight to the main objective?
honestly I thought it would be distracting but I like these characters way more than BG3 ones (I do like shart a lot though) so I never really thought about her or BG3 while she spoke, same with Verso and Clive
I try to use the native language when I can. Some games I stick with English so I don't have to a bunch of reading.
i only just wanna touch a woman (any woman at all)
I only now put together why Maelle has such an affinity for Burn.
Jesus fucking christ.
she can't keep getting away with only voicing the best girls
I cannot hear anything other than Clive from Verso and I didnt even play FF16.
Glad I'm not the only one that immediately thought this
a lot of the bosses in this game were just copying fromsoft's homework but they picked the good ones at least
I think it started at about dark souls 2 that I stopped reading the names of whatever myrmidon of loss and his billion samey copies in alle the disgusting dark souls copies before I waltzed over them without feeling the slightest bit of a challenge
they are all so replaceable, you might as well writte Puddy showing of for absolutely no reason and I would believe you and still not care, because obviously souls-"inspired" game #12483940 will have the Myrmidon of Puddy show up
This. It doesn't seem like it's going to get any better since I fucked up Golgra on my first trip to the village so unless they intentionally didn't scale her up all that much for ng+ I can't imagine it'll be any better going forward. I've been thinking of just doing a fresh run with no pictos except for maybe the dmg cap one.
I AM A SHIELD OF ROSARIA
Verso is a lot yes yelling though.
Does burn count as a status effect?
asian babe flys around with her feet exposed
monoco is a footchad who collects feet
you just know theres some self inserting going on here
Why didn't Verso just send Golgra to combo his mom to death?
Douuuuuuuuceeeeeeeeeeeur~
Couuuuuuuuleeeeeeeeeeeeur~
Douuuuuuuuceeeeeeeeeeeur~~
Couuuuuuuuleeeeeeeeeeeeur~~
She's most likely immortal in the canvas so simply beating her up wouldn't work on its own. You need another painter like Maelle or Renoit to force her out of it.
Fuck...
I killed one in the beginning and then felt bad about it and spared the rest. Im fucked arent i?
I like these cozy threads. Hope we see more of them.
Didn't Renoit turn simon into a superboss? I thought she just pointed him towards the abyss where he eventually succumbed to Renoit's "influence".
Why didn't he send Esquie?
Is there anything I should do once Esquie can swim before progressing? Or should I wait till he can fly/dive and all that before messing around in the opver world?
so can I fuck the little girl in this game?
Hope you can parry.
Can I still get the reward later? I forgot to go back to the Jar lad right at the start and now I'm in act 3.
Just finished act 1... Gustave my man, why'd it happen this way? It feels so cucked that they kill my man and then replace him with some other guy before the body is cold.
