Rex and friends seriously need to stop their juice addiction. They've just downed about 1000 juices each.

Calaveron posted:Chapter 8, go to Tora’s house. To build a powerful new chassis that can manipulate the very energies of reality and channel them into an elemental fury you will need 10 of an item that is super simple to get with gold cylinders in less than 3 minutes. To weave the bikini leotard covering said chassis however you will need a variety of incredibly rare items, some that don’t even exist in the world and good luck with that Awesome, got her and celebrated by murdering about a dozen of the gold chip-dropping monsters, though only half or so dropped chips (which was still enough to have 3 for Tora (because they are tanking chips) and one for Rex/Nia). One dropped a crit V aux core instead of a gold chip after a chain attack, too but I'm not going to complain about an aux core that gives 20% crit rate. Those enemies also drop an accessory that boosts XP from monster kills by 50% (and the accessory that boosts damage against higher level enemies). I didn't notice until I was almost finished but when you're doing chain attacks and getting 10k+ xp per kill, another 50% on top of that is just comical. Sitting at level 60-61 now and after resting at the inn for the first time in probabably 20+ hours of gameplay I see everyone has 270-300k rest exp to spend. Guess I didn't need to kill enemies for a couple levels after all.  (not going to spend the XP yet because I'd be horribly overleveled considering the last boss I fought was maybe level 60)

mabels big day posted:I don't know if I suck at the combat or if the enemies I'm struggling against are bullshit. I was fighting a monster called Confiscater Jimmy and even though I was 7 levels higher he was kicking my rear end with heal block abilities and other stuff. I just barely managed to finish him off after a chain attack with a special right before he landed a finishing blow on me, but it took me way too many tries. If they have a regular human-sounding name like that they are a unique enemy, which are far stronger.

Got em with AOEs+chain stuff, getting them to ~50%ish. What a pain in the rear end. As for the rest of chapter 7, I hate this chapter and everything in it. The dungeon is boring, the story beats and reveals are stupid, and I don't even get a cool sword. Also, I get to lose a healer and three blades in exchange for yet another Blade on Rex.  What a loving moronic twist.This is easily the lowest point of the game. Also, conjecture. There is only one reason why they're hiding Addam's face: he looks like either Rex, or Shulk.

So if you give him Brighid/Pandoria/Dromarch you can assign whatever 3 blades to the person you took them from and you can even ditch them off Rex.

Yeah, To be clear, you still need overdrives to move Blades around. Rex just gets the power to assign any blade to his active slots. Once he removes them, they're back in the pool of their original driver. Its only really useful to let you fully customize Nia/Morag/Zeke into any role by letting you ditch their default blades. Also helps with some skill checks by letting Rex put on a blade he doesn't have if you couldn't fit it on the original driver

I see the gacha system as being a better fit of you don’t grind for all of them and just roll with whatever 7 rares you find first. That way your playthroughs are different as you try different party configs.

I like the way the gacha system makes your experience semi-unique, but if they’re gonna give you hundreds of cores, the experience of using them shouldn’t be obnoxious. Just reduce the number of cores and raise the probability of rolling a rare blade. Or maybe let people mash the a button and skip the cutscenes.

the main problem is that the system punishes you with insane diminishing returns. someone who just popped the cores they got along the way probably has 3-4 less rares than the people who are farming and burning 100 stacks of cores. and well,jrpg gamers can be obsessive about that kind of stuff. I'm going through all unique enemies in the game now and good Commons with the right skill set are way more important than rares now.

I have like 50 cores right now and counting, I just have no loving patience to sit there and keep opening them, especially if afterwards I I have to then scroll through the rows of trash and get rid of them all. I wish there was a batched option to open them all up at once and just tell me "no you didn't get any unique ones" and then junk the rest

Okay, so I just started Ch 4, blew my load on all of my crystals, and now have Rex with Pyra/Perun/Gorg, and Nia with Dromarch/Ursula/Kora. I would assume that I may need some kind of wind elemental for combos, but I really, really don't want to deal with the gacha vortex again and I'm hoping this combination is/will be sufficient for a bit.

So, word on the street is that you can get overdrive's for fully completing 4* blades. Not great, but at least they're farmable I guess? It seems easy enough to grind out non-unique blades through Merc missions anyway I guess.

Why would you replay the game, it's still going to be an identical experience with different Blades just with different specials. All the actual weapon attacks, arts, blade combos, etc. are identical between characters

It took me so long to understand all the different systems (and I’m still learning) that I could maybe see myself playing again with a stronger sense of what I actually want to do. But more likely I’ll just play other games cuz I still haven’t played Nier Automata or Persona 5 yet and this game is massive. But I hope they create a XBC3 that builds off of this elemental combo system because it’s really fun.
