Endorph posted:For some reason I've always gotten a lot of use out of Belenus. No idea why - he's pretty generic both in plot and gameplay. Because Extreme Void is packing some serious power in that one hit(It's one of the better damage moves in the game), and his normal moves aren't shoddy or awkward.

Also minorly useful for command. She's someone that people can follow, that can get people to do what she wants, for physical reasons if nothing else. That's useful.

None. Jelanda's our only mage, Belenus is useful, Llewellyn can be used for a later request and there's VERY few Archers in the game as is-only two others. One's better, one's worse. If we MUST, then probably Belenus. I'm not sure if Jelanda can meet the requirements. ...It's not outright stated, but it's fairly clear how Llewellyn died:knocked off a boat and drowned. Rotten way to go. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Mar 25, 2014 |

Not entirely true. There are various accessories which you can buy which, while having no combat effect(And so are relatively cheap), are meant to counter certain bad traits and thus prevent the various potential negative events caused by them when they're running around Valhalla in 'Sacred Phase'. I don't believe the the one that counters 'can't swim' shows up for a while, though I'm running off memory.

Except he also knows it's not meant to be beatable. So, he's like an RPG player trying to beat the unbeatable boss battle. Complete with grinding and attrition. He has his predestination 'guide book', he knows what he needs(Though I forget how complete his knowledge is), and he's being absolutely efficient in dealing with it. At least, so it seems.

And this is why I'd prefer to keep Llwellyn and trade him off here. Because this guy's worth keeping. Part of me is convinced the Sacred Phase was meant to be playable or at least viewable beyond the text. The damm things are so detailed I can practically see the interface.

No, I don't see why you'd skip Lezard's Tower when you've already done Brahms. Lezard at least can be said to 'complete' as a scenario regardless of ending, in that everything is resolved.

How to put it... Humans get potentially two shots in their existence(Whether that second existence is in Valhalla or Helheim is another story). Gods and other immortals don't. They're gone for good if slain, game mechanics notwithstanding(Yes, you can kill Brahms in game, but you haven't really). There's a reason the super moves are 'Soul Kill'/'Purify Weird Soul'.

Even a hug wouldn't change the issue. Their daughter died in unknown circumstance. You NEVER forget a family member who died. From what little words we got, it seems they've poured out their love for Nanami. But the spectre of Minayo was always there. It is unavoidable. Add to this the whole 'inheritance of family power/secrets' and there's a powderkeg. Note that they didn't WANT her to go in the first place, but didn't SAY anything. Both a case of 'they had hope' and 'they were unwilling to say she couldn't'. Hell, it seems like Nanami was being very forceful over the business. Taking 'duty' to it's ultimate. Some would say 'way too far'. Some would say 'exactly as far as she should have'. Preservation demands she leave. Honour and her family demands she continue.

The game doesn't fully go into it if I recall, but the world could be better than it is. But the fact is, it isn't. Freaks and monsters everywhere, hardly any civilised settlements at all(I'd say 'human' settlements, but I imagine there aren't many merman settlements either, as a for-instance). Consider why that might be.

vilkacis posted:I always interpreted the scene as Magnus being essentially powerless at that point and getting slaughtered. Doesn't count as much of a "good" ending either way. Given about half the Enherjar have a random component to when they join, could be either very easy(Slap the same stuff on them) or very hard(That stuff's hard-coded).

By that time you're fighting more and more big enemies, though. To say nothing of having lots of '+X on level-up' to help matters along. It wouldn't be any worse than Hard Mode.

HiKaizer posted:Plus the B and A paths have pretty different stories, so we can't really discuss the divergences that start happening around this point without going into spoilers. There ARE no divergences, that's the thing. Nothing changes till Chapter 7 or 8, and even then, you can outright ignore it even if you've done everything else needed. The dungeon changes of Normal to Hard are more than the divergence in story.

You need to go back further, to the earlier days of PSX(Late 90s/early 200X), when Internet wasn't as strong a thing, to understand. The market in terms of imported games was fairly insane in terms of pricing. You had to know where to go and the market was niche as hell. ...Once again I feel like an old man at 29.

DmitriX posted:Oh and I forgot to ask- why do people consider Wait reaction amazing? There is one other skill, which, if paired with holy cross/prismatic missiles allows for Great magic every other turn, and has literally no downside. If it's the skill I'm thinking of: Burns too much health, where the game is all too willing to throw mass attacks, and in the main game certainly you don't have the resources to keep throwing out plumes and items. Also making damm sure the rest of the party is doing their damage via unblockable damage is more important, especially once you finally get the buff spells and have to deal with keeping that up.

You can't get an early end from 'losing' the war, nor can you force an early end by 'winning' it.
