Belzac posted:Bosses you save will join your companions and can be brought along with you on co-op missions. It doesn't happen in the demo but I've heard in the full game you can get split paths based on saving or sacrificing. You can see it happening in the demo anyway, even if the missions don't split off, the story changes based on whether you sacrifice or save the bosses. This game is so good and is literally the entire reason I bought a Vita way back, the demo has shown me that I chose wisely.

The Moon Monster posted:Does anyone know if it's possible to save your sorceress ally? I saved her once but she just started attacking me again, and I was running out of HP and spells so I sacrificed her the next time Saving her just treats it like a player revival, so even if you do it 10 times ( i did this, im so sorry i made you suffer Sortiara  ) she will keep trying to kill you

Speedball posted:I also noticed a lot of the guys had more saves than sacrifices on their arms in general. Who knows how long that'll last in the full game. This was really annoying, because while I've knowingly submitted myself to a Divine spec, it's because I intend to be the healer and supporter. More divine dudes generally tends to have diminishing returns and the team damage suffers because these people aren't specifically using divine-enhanced abilities. Right now this demo is still using old rules, so going 1/19 and facerolling until you're empty and have somebody kill you is still the easiest way to do things.

Cerb is a tactics check. A single shield user will shut him down, since blocking his charge makes him fall over. The JP version recently got a patch so that going full demon and martyring yourself ASAP was not extremely more effective than playing as a Divine character.

Anyone picking up a physical copy of the game; Remember that the box comes with an Online Passcode. Also, when transfering from the demo, you can only transfer 10 of every spell, but this also counts for upgrades versions (IE: You could transfer ten 0-star, ten 1-star, ten 2-star, and ten 3-star of the same spell). Japanese voice pack is 550MB.

Ah, found the DLC. You have to go online and redeem them via the Peddler's gift box. E: The DLC spells are pretty strong, but they're also super limited in casts. Not awful, but they will definitely stop being useful towards the middle/high end of the game. Emalde fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Apr 30, 2013 |

Anthrovore posted:Anyone have any tips against Illecebra's archfiend form? I thought fighting the slime in the catacombs was frustrating, but holy poo poo. So many cheap attacks and trying to keep magusar alive makes it even rougher. Pack as many Lightning Tri-roots as possible, a shield, a reliable heal, and blood bullets. It is incredibly important to deal damage any way possible when she starts doing her charging rampage, because that is what makes her revert back to standing upright. Make sure you keep your partner alive, since NPCs are always valuable as bait.

AlternateNu posted:For the game, itself, it definitely looks like they retooled how spells are awarded in the full game. In the demo, there was a chance you could get the third spell on the swag list with a First-Rate Sorcerer rating, but so far, it looks like you need at least Legendary to get more than one copy of the second spell on the list in the full game. This is most likely because it's now fairly easy to land the Divine rating. It's too bad you don't get extra copies of the third spell though, it would make farming certain things so much easier. Everybody please join the IRC and play online, it's boring up here at level 50 with nobody to do the later Avalon Pacts with.

Please do not be fooled. While there is a large single-player component to the game, this game was almost certainly developed for playing with other people in mind. There are several categories of spells that simply do not work without coordination from other people, at least two Black Rites specifically dedicated to it, and spells that literally require multiple people to trigger. The problem is, at least early on like this, most people don't particularly understand the game too well and thus it makes playing in PUGs much more challenging than it needs to be.

Count Bleck posted:Edit: Quick question. You may as well, even if it's not very good. RedRupee posted:I decided to start doing some online stuff and it was surprisingly accessible to just jump into a game. The only issue is when a server is rigid about save/sacrificing archfiends. We killed a cerberus in a high level mission and the sacrifice had the +/- of what could have been an SE+/++ but everyone else was hellbent on saving. If I had sacrificed would that have actually worked or is it like a vote system at the end? It's a vote system, game rolls if it's 50% for either. Also realize that when a boss has a bonus, it still doesn't mean a guaranteed +/++

Only problem is that I crumble once a slime starts raining goop everywhere or the centaur does a projectile rain (or something else like that). Use armor amulets if you find it's an issue. There is no real reward for speccing divine other than the cosmetic appeal.

Second form is all about having 3-4 large mortars and just spamming with as many damage-enhancing sigils equipped as possible.

DLC should be dropping tomorrow night; It includes Dullahan and Behemoth, as well as the Berserker Rite. The two bosses should be fairly unique. Berserker makes your brain into a monster that rampages around the field, which causes your current spells to be randomized and hidden from view. Belzac, I expect you here for this!

Grave-digging to post the big content update for Soul Sacrifice Delta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PJfoznTF2Q Looks like they did some massive gameplay overhauling. There are a bunch of new things like being able to sacrifice somebody with an elemental version of the attack or granting them some sort of enchantment when you save them. Looks like you can now affiliate with different organizations to change your playstyle. Avalon - Enhanced [Monster] type spells, Stronger affinity with Fist type spells (you need one player in 'Avalon' and one player in 'Sister' to do the Rolling launch it looks like), combination Fist + Burrow to allow for jump attacks, Stronger affinity with the Mortar type spells, Platform summoning, Stronger self-healing Sanctuary - Stronger affinity Axeblade type spells (can receive the combination from homing+weapon from 'Sister' players), combination Axe + Dash for dash attacks, Stronger affinity with both Armor and Shield, can combine Armor + Shield for the offensive shield boosts (presumably only if they are of the same element), Melee-type Blood attack, Enhanced team-healing Grim - Stronger affinity with Throwing type spells, Stronger affinity with Fang type spells, combination Fang + Burrow for the jump attack, can enhance other player's shields to the upgraded version with their Fang spells (same element?), can combine their Group Heal spells with Trap spells to heal + deal damage to the enemy (not sure if it's exclusive to that one plant ability or not, that spell itself is new to Delta), Stronger affinity with the Roar spells and they can use a Roar to pop a Golem summon from a 'Sister' player into a mini golem horde Sister - Stronger affinity with the Rolling type spells and can be launched by Fist-using 'Avalon' players for additional damage, Stronger affinity with Homing type spells and can grant 'Sanctuary' players an elemental enhancement with them, Can use new Sinkhole spells to trap + lower bosses to the ground, can use the new Throw-type Heal spells and can also use these to deal damage like 'Grim' players, Stronger affinity with Golem summons and can have them be turned into a miniature army by Roar-using 'Grim' players There's probably more stuff like that. I'm not even sure if the organization makes any of these new things exclusive, but it sure does look like a really good expansion

Belzac posted:Came back to SS after playing Toukiden and I'm sorry I ever left. Is anyone getting Delta this week who wants to feed me info to put in a revised OP? If not I can look around and take guesses. Some interesting things I've seen is a sort of faction warfare element that hooks into online, which might imply some form of player vs. player (even if it's more like, who can kill the most monsters this week). Here's the Japanese release trailer: I see that the NPCs are still cooler appearance-wise than a player character ever will be. I would suggest that we import it, but chances are the NA version is only going to take a couple of extra months to come out.

Going to post a list of what offering categories are affiliated with which faction, because upgrading from L to + on most offerings requires a testament from that faction (and it also limits the kinds of sigils you can effectively use). Avalon:
Grimm:
Sanctuarium: (blood is weird since there are ones that require avalon testaments to upgrade)
No Affiliation: (some of these are weird because they still require specific faction testaments to upgrade)
This should also help you figure out how to actually maximize damage if that's a thing you want to do within your faction. Emalde fucked around with this message at 06:16 on May 16, 2014 |
