It sounds like hes older than he looks. He talks about drinking with the other salvagers in the beginning. Or maybe its just weird anime land.

Nah, he mentions he's not old enough to drink yet at several points. Given typical anime tropes, he's probably sixteen.

I'm looking at what is clearly rice balls. Those are not dumplings.

They even reference salt, what the gently caress.

In the Japanese her name is Musubi. Which is another name for onigiri.

They should have made her English name "Dumpling" or "Potsticker" or something.

edit: Is her English voice acting as obnoxious as her Japanese, because her Japanese voice acting sounds like some hyper-exaggerated representation of a "wifely" character or something, it's hard to describe.

By the way, I get the impression her side quest is going to be a pain in the rear end, because through playing normally and reaching level 50 I haven't acquired enough materials to make even a single dumpling, and the first tier alone requires making 10.

A good chunk of this game requires trawling websites for ingredient locations and poo poo, it's kinda lame. It was nothing like this in 1 and X.

Maybe they'll add an ingame bestiary and/or item index. They had one in X and they DID say they're going to keep updating.

I have a quest marker on the right side of Gormott Upper, in the Cooley Lake area, that's clearly far above the ground (it's on a spike out from the top-right wall?) - how do I get there? I can't figure out how to get up there at all.


If it's where I'm thinking, go to Nocclia Timber Site and follow the tree root up along the north wall. Fall into the hollowed trunk at the very end and ride the rapids down to the lake, launching yourself into the hollowed tree in the middle of it. There's a dive spot that'll get you up there.

chapter 9: Do I have to kill this big named robot guarding the elevator after the focus/elec mastery field check? He's like 4 levels higher than me so I'd rather not grind if I don't have to.

Um, 1 was pretty fuckin awful in terms of collecting poo poo. At least this game has reliable locations, instead of being complete chance.

Though to be fair, 1's sidequests were also largely pointless, while the sidequests in this are often interesting enough that I feel compelled to actually do them.

So what's the best way to get cores post game? The port doesn't work anymore and grinding uniques feels way slower and there's not even a garuntee and it's kinda laaame.

Also can anyone in this game use great axes worth a drat? I unlocked Zenobia and have been goin through her tree just for fun and god that first swing is so slow it makes me want to cry

The Mor Ardain port works fine for me, just use Normal Cylinders. That way the :rolldice: on the loot table is far more favourable about something "unfortunate" getting in the mix like Core-dropping Krabbles.

Salvage a whole bunch. You can do this efficiently with gold cylinders as early as chapter 4.

I am using normals. I keep pulling level 52 murder squids and level 42 stingray looking things. The pool has entirely changed.

Like this is all I get now.

Pretty much salvaging. Buy the highest priced salvage poo poo you can, grind salvage points for half an hour, then dump everything at a trade shop. I turned 250K into 1M that way.

Nah, it looks like it does in my image. Everything is perfectly clear. I just figured it was because Mor Ardain is technically near the World Tree at this point.
