it's just parry spam: the game
It's just parry spam: the game
Maybe its not a game for you grandpa
Don't care, still love Maelle.
It's annoying, every enemy is chaotic or delaying attacks
Jrpgs now have the "git gud" cancer
Jesus christ
you literally cannot spam parry, it's a pretty strict timing
dude trust me jrpgs take so much strategy to win
imagine being filtered so hard that you need to whine on Anon Babble about it
find new area
"danger"
whatever, go inside
see boss way above your level
die a few dozen times
finally beat it after 20+ minutes
Honestly could've just come back later in the game, but it feels great.
now
Because soulsgames turn-based RPGs were ineed considered the le skill required hard games
Imagine being this bad at video games.
now
Never played the game, but I'm getting it on sale.
How can you tell if you need to jump, parry, or dodge?
Are some attacks unparryable or undodgable, and if so, how can you tell what you need to do?
Or do you always use parry because it's high risk - high reward?
Imagine shilling a game for free
It didn't count back then because Mario games are for younger gamers. Adults were stuck with unfun excel simulator slop literally until 2025.
People don't realize that it's no exaggeration when gamers and journalists declare COE33 the savior of JRPGs. Someone finally takes the genre and its players seriously, and lo and behold... it sells like hotcakes.
Japan had decades to answer to this demand, to no avail.
Imagine seething
There are some audio cues but dodging and parrying each specific enemy and each specific attack is something you have to intuit and learn but it's not that hard. You can parry and dodge through the entire game if you want but if you don't want to sweat it the whole time, it is treated as a high risk, high reward playthrough that you could build around if you so chose.
These mechanics have been in JRPGs since the SNES era. Why don't you play video games?
Dodges have a more generous input window than parries.
Parrying is followed up by a counter, dodging isn't.
(Most) Spells can't be parried, attacks can be parried or dodged.
Some characters benefit more from parrying or dodging than others, and you can modify them with equipment that triggers effects and bonuses on parry or dodge respectively.
Teamwide attacks are very risky to parry but do a teamwide counter which is extremely powerful
Multihit combos need to be parried flawlessly to do a counter so dodging is more consistent
uhhhhh uhh uhhhhh....you're a shill!
No, you're just really bad at video games.
I like the game but the dodge and parry mechanics are absolute fucking bullshit.
How about you just play the game, it'll guide you through all that shit.
As for always using parry, no, I didn't, I'd often switch to dodge for the most dangerous attacks because it gives you a bigger window and I'm an old boomer with a slow reaction time.
Bump
Seems weird they give us the choice to either dodge, jump or parry if it has the same effect.
I guess you have to get hit at least once to learn combo and attack patterns and then you have to jump, parry or dodge.
But if you can parry every single attack in the game then it makes no sense
Just build for HP and defense if you can't stop being shit at video games. There's even a pictos that gives you AP for getting hit instead of parrying or dodging.
Wow, a parry...i'm so skilled!
It's not the same effect, see
if it has the same effect.
It doesn't. Dodging has a wider window but doesn't activate a counterattack. Parrying gives you AP and if you parry every attack in a string then you get a counter. Jumping is for specific attacks with an indicator and let you counter after each jump.
This game really exposes low IQ retards.
Thanks
How can you tell if you need to jump, parry, or dodge?
Jump is a "special" counter to some attacks and it's incredibly obvious and easy when you have to do it.
The choice to parry/dodge depends entirely on how confident you are with the timings and if your equipment enhances one or the other
Are some attacks unparryable or undodgable, and if so, how can you tell what you need to do?
They will become unparriable and undodgable and the only thing you can do is just take it. Limited to very few attacks. There is no one or the other though
Or do you always use parry because it's high risk - high reward?
Technically yes but you want to test the waters with dodging because you might get blown the fuck up, there is literally no way you are going to first-time parry everything in the game with how tight the timing is.
Bump
Git gud, I guess
Git gud at QTE so that my screen can explode with a rose petal chaff grenade as the game's cameraman gets shoved to the ground from behind?
it's fine when it's Souls slop
I'm tired
Most spells can't be parried
If an attack can be dodged it can be parried, jumping and gradient countering both have their own distinct visual tell
Very masochistic
