Yeah, I'm guessing she just magic'd her way to a safe standing landing. Mostly because I'm pretty sure you have to be a werewolf to stick the landing after being shot from a cannon.

Yep, thank Althena we don't have to get involved in any tacky romantic subplot. Unless we want the Remembrizer to collect cutscenes. Which was cool and all, back before YouTube was a thing, but now it's just a bit of completely unnecessary completion percentage bait. ...which means I'll be getting it and all the cutscenes anyway. Every. drat. Time. drat my completionist nature. *sob*

Power Crest is pretty great, really. You can power up elemental crests, add status attacks to your normal attacks, or if you have no other ideas, slap two Power Crests on one person (you'll be able to buy them later, if memory serves) for a boost to of their stats.

Honestly, what was even the point of the whole amnesia bit? Is there some kind of law in Japan that all RPGs must have at least one amnesiac character before the game can be released? ...I meant that as a joke, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true.

Actually, I found Nash to be one of the more useful characters, thanks to his incredibly high speed. He's pretty much guaranteed the first turn in 95% of the game's battles that he's a part of (unless you really stack Alex or Jessica with speed-boosting gear) and he can put a real hammering on the entire enemy team once he learns Thunder Thrust. If he doesn't kill everything, the melees can usually clean up before the enemies get their turns. Or if they're grouped up, he can go with Sleep (which has a respectable AoE and can usually hit the entirety of a bunched-up group) and let the melees smack those bitches even harder. Mia, on the other hand, is more likely to go after everyone else, and while she'll probably blow everything the gently caress up but good, you'll have taken some hits, which may leave you worse off. Granted, this is mostly in SSSC. It all goes down the drat drain in Harmony, where they appear to have hosed up the turn order coding and everyone seems to go in completely random order regardless of agility, so I'll agree that Nash is pretty much useless compared to Mia in that one.

Lucia LOOKS annoyed, but you can tell she's debating heavily between finding Althena and blasting some kung-fu assassins with outer space magics. Or she wants a burrito or something. It's hard to tell with her. And holy hell, I never noticed Teen Jean bleeding copiously in her portrait after the dude smacks her one. Pretty harsh for a PSX RPG.

God, please don't bring any more Drakengard in here. At least until we leave Taben's Peak. Imagine if Leonard or Arioch made their way here. Though I will admit I'd like to see how far Nall puts his boot up Leonard's rear end for trying anything.

Camel Pimp posted:I'm pretty sure Ghaleon built that throne. And don't tell me Ghaleon didn't built a throne room. Fucker probably demanded there be a throne room for him wherever he went. (Actually, he did built one in the original, I honestly forget if there was one in the Grindery in the remake, although it on top of the tower and not in the Grindery itself... although perhaps they built the base in the tow- yeah, trying to pin down precise locations in these games are futile) You really can't win with continuity areas like this. Make them different like they did here, and people will bitch that you're inconsistent and can't remember details. Make them the same area as the original and people will complain that it's boring and that they've been through this poo poo before.

Camel Pimp posted:It is pretty easy to forget about Charm in this game, as it doesn't work on much of anything. And you're not using Dance after a certain point anyway. Although the actual area of the effect is actually half-decent in this game, if I can recall. Actually, the AoE of Jean's various dances get shorter with each one. Butterfly Dance has decent range, Dream Dance slightly less so, Swarm Dance not that great, but with Soul Soul Kiss (the AoE charm dance) the range is pretty bad, to the point where enemies practically have to be on top of each other. Also I think the assassins were immune to it in this version. I can go back and check at some point though.

But laying eyes on him certainly won't help his case, either. Good lord, that fat fucker is hideous. Also, this is another one of those JRPG moments where the party could get similar but better results just by rushing the drat gate. Seriously, we just killed a bunch of kung-fu cultists and Jean introduced their leader to the glorious art of Tae Kwon Leap. These guys would probably drop like flies.

I'm a sucker for characters who think they're doing good when they're actually antagonists to the real heroes. Probably Jean. Cheerful despite a tragic past (which she had before tragic pasts became a huge thing for brooding usually-Mary-Sue heroes), prone to snarking, and kicks a lot of rear end (and faces).

You missed a free crest! I think it was by the Althena statue, hidden behind a building or something. You might want to go back and grab that one, since it could be kinda useful given that it's for Thunder magic, which no one in your party can get naturally. Also, nice to see you back in the game.

Rabbi Raccoon posted:Rusty Dagger and Magic Eye Crest. Not too useful, but not well known. I found out about that last run. I like giving that combination to Ronfar so he can do more than heal during boss fights. And I never knew that giving Hiro the Thunder Crest gives him Wind/Thunder combination magic (mostly because it almost always went straight to Jean, who's fast, got a decent Wisdom score for a fighter, and appreciates having magic for physical-resistant enemies). I always thought you needed a Wind Crest to go with the Thunder one for that. Neat!

Simply Simon posted:This "there are combinations?" talk reminds me of when I played Golden Sun and was utterly baffled to find out that mixing Djinns gives people other classes with other magic. Though in Golden Sun, it's incredibly annoying for two reasons: 1) You NEED it for like one or two things because it's the only way to get Growth magic to make a plant ladder somewhere, but the game never tells you, and 2) it's totally useless otherwise, afair. To be fair, there are some combinations that result in some pretty sick characters with high stats and great Psynergy skills. Unfortunately, mixing Djinn will almost always result in at least one gimped character. I never did find any combinations that gave a good unique character without also creating one or two people that were completely useless. So I usually just stick to giving everyone Djinn from their own element for simplicity's sake.

dis astranagant posted:In this version he's slightly tankier but about Ronfar speed iirc. Good physcial stats but poor magic and speed. He's essentially this game's Kyle, but with even more moves. Granted, Kyle still did pretty well with only 4 attacks (one of which was useless because it was one of them "attack anything surrounding you WITHOUT moving to the nearest enemy" and thus was likely to whiff because of his crap speed), but he really could've used a screen-clearer like Leo's got. Plus Leo's ultimate sword attack heals him for a not-insignificant percentage of the damage he deals, making him even MORE of a freaking tank. Also, if you'll recall, Inferno Ghouls were the monsters chasing Hiro and Ruby through the ruins in the game's introductory chase scene. Probably a good thing they decided running was the smart move.

Rainuwastaken posted:"Beep boop, I am not LP Bot, and have a life to attend to"? If one has to take a break due to real life events, or even if they simply don't want to update (because sometimes playing the game is no longer fun, especially since posting screenshots and coming up with witty musings isn't as easy as some people make it look), that's perfectly fine. A simple heads up would be appreciated though, so I know it'll simply be a while before another update, rather than wondering if they chose to abandon the thread.

Flytrap posted:The best plot twist of all; you help exorcize a spirit from someone only to find that the raging lunatic is the real personality. I think there was something like this in X-Men Evolution. actually. Long story short, Professor X's son had multiple personalities, and Xavier ended up mind-diving to try and drive out all but the normal, sane personality, which he apparently does, only to find out that the evil personality switched places (somehow) and X just basically wiped out his son's real personality, leaving only the evil one. At least, that's how TV Tropes has it. I haven't watched the series in ages and don't remember that arc.
