I’m toward the end of chapter 9 so maybe this stuff becomes clearer later but I think I’m supposed to understand it already. I dunno. So anyway here are my questions. What are flesh eaters and blade eaters? From what I can tell, flesh eaters are blades that....... stole a human’s heart to become mortal??? So that they won’t die when their driver does? And this explains how Jin still has his memories of his driver who is frozen in ice? Or is she not technically dead because of the ice? And I guess blade eaters are humans who became blades by stealing a blade’s crystal? Or at least part of it? And now they are immortal? The main example being the pope guy who stole half of Fan’s crystal? Also how did Nia save Tommon Lannister? She gave him part of her crystal? Does that mean she’ll die when he does?

Do you mean Niall? Her power is regeneration. She clearly shows this by undoing Zeke's sword getting vaporized. Niall wasn't dead too long, so she just healed him up. As for the first part; Flesh Eaters are kind of a loophole in the whole Blade/Driver pairing. They die when their Driver does, but if they eat part of their Driver's flesh (maybe it's explicitly their heart or just general cannibalism, it's never clear), then technically their Driver remains alive as part of their body and so they don't die when their Driver does. The tradeoff is they now have a fleshy body that will actually eventually die rather than return to a Core Crystal. Lora being frozen in ice is just a grim constant reminder of how terrible everything is for Jin. Blade Eaters are the inverse, and it's a more healthier symbiosis. Part of the Crystal is embedded in the Driver, keeping them alive because their Blade is. Blades don't die of natural causes, so their Driver's gonna be around as long as they are.

I'd say that my number one annoyance with this game is the insane number of cutscenes that show everyone readying their weapons, and then a battle starts, wherein the first thing you have to do is ready your weapons. I kept on lunging forwards and then going hey, doofus, why aren't you hitting them? Grr. I really enjoyed this game. When the patch hits on Friday and makes fast-travel easier, I'll probably do some more rare blade questing.

I don’t think they are ever on screen together so it’s hard to be sure. The green ones are one hit. I know if you time the second attack right you can double hit them to make it a lot easier.

I'm on the Leftarian Archipelago and I can't kill Zeke. I'm level 42 and he's level 37, I've tried it with Rex and Tora, Nia and Tora, Rex and Tora, Nia and Rex, and I just get walloped when he's at about half health. What am I meant to do? Should I have a healer on Rex so I can heal Tora? The potions don't seem enough. It's so loving boring, I just want to carry on with the game and getting womped by team loving Rocket isn't endearing me to it.

In other news, the quest that requires you to go to the hot springs in Mor Ardain, how do I get to them? The door is locked. Guides say Jac gives you a key but he never gave me one!

At least I can be proud I got him to 1/4 of his health. When I'm close on ten levels above him. More and more the quests in the game are seriously getting on my nerves. It's so hard to work out where you need to go and there are always 10 goddamn sections to every single one. I have no idea how I'd have found the hot springs without asking here, for example. It's like it expects you to dedicate hours to just WANDERING trying to find the secret magical way to go.

Very early chapter 10 spoilers just got done talking to the architect when he explains how he made everything and I feel like I just got slapped with a Bible. Creating the Earth and life, making a trinity of blades, and I just realized that Rex started the game by dying and being brought back to life. Rex = Jesus confirmed

I really want to upgrade Poppi a bunch but Tiger Tiger is legit awful in the later stages and you have to run them for the better upgrades even though the ether reward seems to be barely better, if not worse given the higher difficulty. Ytlaya posted:Those loving sharks are not color-blind friendly. They look identical to the other 2-hit sharks to me. Pretty sure they're the exact same sprite as the 2 hit ones. The first 3 hit shark i encountered killed me from (near?) full health too because of it.

The game is a lot more unsubtle with the creation mythos references in the Japanese version. He's just called God instead of The Architect, for one.

Tiger Tiger is supposed to be getting an easy mode in the upcoming patch so maybe that will make the experience less painful. I doubt it, but maybe.

I spent about 90 minutes trying to figure out how to open the control room door for Perceval's affinity quest and I listened to nice music, got some merc quests racked up, found some secret vistas, did some salvaging etc. I never even fought anything either bc I'm like 20 levels higher than every enemy and nothing aggros

Morag doesn't want to fight him so if she's in your party it just sets her to inactive. Look at the bottom of the screen when you're on the party select menu (same spot it always lists what the buttons do when you're in the menu) and you will see a button that says either "deactivate" or "activate", or something like that. Activate your third party member. Side note: every time I see people complaining about KOS-MOS I laugh a little because I got her before I even left the Gormott titan and I basically never use her.

I think you're underestimating how bad I am at doing this. Like I legitimately have no idea how people even get the all crystals medal. I watched a video of someone that did it it and I swear he's moving faster than I can and I don't know why.

Just out of morbid curiosity, has anyone done the math on just how many times you have to send Ursula out on her special merc missions to max her tree out? I just unlocked the 4th affinity level and that required something like 30 missions itself. Unrelated, but I got Treasure Sensor I from Tiger Tiger and threw that on Poppi, then equipped Adenine, and I'm getting so many core chips/aux cores/crystals now. Hooray for loot boosts.

I just unlocked the 4th affinity level and that required something like 30 missions itself. I haven't but I will do it right now, just for you. At 9 stamps you unlock a mission that gives you two stamps as a reward instead of one. At 75 () you get one that gives you three stamps So 9 + 33 + 8 = 50 quests ...times three for 150 total just to get the stamps. There are other merc missions as well I believe for concerts and stuff. But 1500 minutes of merc missions (I'm assuming that any time you save with field skills are cancelled out by the time between them finishing and you sending them back out again). For only the stamps. Which is 25 hours. God help me I'm actually doing this, too. Currently at 15/15/13
