what unlocks more stages for Tiger Tiger anyways? I'm not sure when or how I unlocked Stage 2 but beating it didn't unlock Stage 3. Also what's the bonus for getting all medals in a single run? Still haven't pulled it off

Story progress. Getting all the bonuses gets you more Ether.

I like Tiger Tiger well enough I just wish it was slightly more lenient.

It's hard to play with my Hori pro controller because the dpad isn't the best. This is my gripe.

I should pick up one of those Switch compatible 8bitdo pads when they come out in a few days. I already have an older usb one and it's pretty cool.

Also everyone should start calling the fourth party member Four kind of like how everyone called the seventh party member of XB1 Seven to avoid spoilers (even though everyone sees the fourth member coming from a mile away)

Depends on how much you want to grind. You can use tier 1 rarity to increase your characters core grid (Justice/Compassion/Truth/Bravery). When you increase them to max affinity you also get an item you can use to increase WP on any weapon you choose on any character. The small one for tier 1 blades with like 2k WP. Tier 1 blades with under 18 affinity circles would be easiest to grind out since they only need like 250/300 trust total for all 5 levels.

Keep them unless you need the room. Also bad ones might not be bad depending on what field skills they have.

Where do you guys learn this? Is there a decent central resource to the game?

Don't overlevel if you are overleveling. Try to beat a boss by relying on cores and blades and poo poo. There's some bosses and situations on 4 that will absolutely beat the poo poo out of you if you're not well prepared

Zenobia is a beast, she is my bread and butter. She has a move which does massive damage and doubles for toppled enemies, and a lot of what i do involves toppling and cancelling to her for them big big hitz.

Sounds like I'm going to burn an overdrive moving her to Rex then and let her take my 3rd Blade spot for his setup then. :black101:

I beat chapter 3 at level 22-23 and the last boss fight in it killed Tora multiple times from (near) full HP.


I imagine if I had been on level he probably wouldn't have died and the threat would've been much lower in general.

I was close to lv 30 and he still died twice

It was a good battle though. But then the story went completely nuts.

The party members in this are pretty blindingly obvious given how rare unique Blades are, it's nowhere near as spoilerific as Seven was.

Mythra in the opening cut scenes of Chapter 5 sounds like she both has a cold and is on the verge of crying while having really casual conversations.

It's weird.

Edit: Also, it's a real bummer Rex doesn't have Launch if you assign him the two special cores he gets. It's screwed up my whole combat routine.

This game holds off on new party members for so long it makes you wonder why they even bothered having more than the core three.

Given the pacing in terms of teaching gameplay, it's probably with the idea that by the time you get them you'll understand what you're doing with their default Blades compared to Rex or Nia.

why does everyone keep saying dogs rare? ive unlocked like, four, and they all have those circular blades...or am I thinking about a different animal? drogarth-like.

loving softlocked. Fast travelled to Gormott and the floor didn't load, just cloud sea and NPCs. So I figured it'd show eventually, since I wasn't falling, and went to talk to the shop I came for. Now I can't do anything but move the camera. Any outs or am I just out hours of unsaved data?

Some of these rare blades don't seem to be really on par with one another. I got Adenine as my first and she's been an absurd power house despite being a healer type. Then I got Zenobia which attacks so loving slow and the damage output still seems less than Adenine's despite being at roughly the same enhancement level. And now I have Azami and she also does like no damage despite being attack and attacks soooo slow. Are fast hitting Blades just really OP or something?

I've only just started and I haven't the slightest idea whats going on, but it all seems rather fun and I like how very English everyone is. Also the camera seems to be urgently attempting to inform me that Pyra has really big tits.

I don't suppose there's any alternate costumes like Rex actually wearing his whole diving suit is there?

If you can get to the menu you can skip travel out. If not, well, the game does not auto save at all, bewilderingly.

I am very particular about biscuits, I'll have you know.
You know when you sit down and look at the blade affinity unlocks you enter a new kind of time sucking black hole.

Also does anyone know what they mean when one says get X out of y collectibles list. Where is this list? I’m blind.

I finally got into the bottom of the giant gently caress all staircase on Titan 3 via whirlpool. It’s neat but a little let down.
