Just hit weakness and pass for the boosts? That fights a pretty straight forward dps race until THE BIG MAN and then it's just kind of a basic fight

As far as tips go: move the MC out of the first slot of the party if you're doing a physical build. Magic is better at getting press turns.

I played that game for like 80 hours, and I somehow never figured you could do that.:anime:

Okay how do I make my dps high enough to kill the blue robots and big green robots in two turns before they reset and I have to start again because currently it is apparently not.

You want to make sure you get a full baton pass boost whenever you can, so this is the fight where you actually use all those elemental attack items so you can hit the robots' weaknesses on characters that don't have access to the right spells. There's four robots at once, so for each turn you should use three single target spells on different characters to build up baton pass then use two multi-target spells in a row. Switching to merciless difficulty can also make that part of the fight easier, since it makes hitting weaknesses do a lot more damage, though you should still be able to do it on normal or hard with proper baton passing.

But yeah that's the worst fight in the game by far, I have no idea why they decided to make it like that.

I remember in the base game it was a pretty forgettable boss fight sounds like they went too far and made it over complex

Zinkraptor
Apr 24, 2012

It's not really that it's complex, it's that there's a big emphasis on doing a lot of damage to a group of enemies in a small number of turns and there's not really any other fights that function as that kind of dps check so you may be totally unprepared for it when you get to that fight.

If you change the difficulty to Merciless, weakness and critical hits will do 3x damage, in case you're still stuck.

I think it's good to have it for completion's sake. Nothing wrong with SNES and GBA ports but the PS1 has 3D backgrounds and CD audio (worse and better depending on the track) so it'll offer a different experience at least. I know certain people just wanna try the PS1 version for the novelty of it.
Plus there's always someone working on filling in the gaps of untranslated media if a series is big enough, whether as a personal project or out of public interest. Can't fault the passion there.

yea thats true too, honestly its p cool that the megaten games people were writing off as 'pie in the sky, never gonna get tled' a few years back are like, actually getting translated into english nowadays :)

now i need to keep praying for the rest of the obscure megatens and the majin tensei manga to finish getting tled please god its been like 2 years since vol 1 aaaaaaAAAAA :shepface:

Ate you full baton passing? Because that alone should let you clear out the waves as you go.

It's a pretty easy fight if you've mastered that system.

No because I forgot damage items existed so I never passed to the two characters who couldn't hit weaknesses. Having never really needed to before I didnt realise it upped your damage that much.

E: is there anywhere you can buy basic spell items as I'm not sure I have enough.

I don't know how you got so far into the game.wothout realizing baton passing 8s a massive damage game. There's like 2 tutorials for it and it turns the boss fights into fun rushes instead of a slog of back and forth chip damage and healing.

It still is if you baton pass.

Also it's just faster to have been passing since it denies enemies turns since it allows you to generate more half turns passing around after generating one.

I had it on Switch, I grabbed it for like 15 bucks at Gamestop during their post Christmas sale (and then bought the Maniax DLC for 10 bucks more, still a really good deal). Was kind of hoping I could get back into my Nintendo account so I could at least still have the cloud backup but it looks like that's not going to happen.

So I know Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece, and the one second to right says Attack on Titan, but what's the second-to-left one?


Also I'm really not sure what is so different about JK or OP, especially OP, from most anime. Like, its characters aren't especially original. Its main claim to fame, and why I like it, is that it's written very well. Its a great story executed to near perfection. So, to me, OP isn't doing anything radically different from most anime, it's just....better written in what it's doing, if that makes sense.

2 things, lol, demon slayer is literally the biggest anime in the entire world. funny one not to know.

also was yahtzee trolling when he said "I like the ones not everyone likes" and then showed the 4 of the most popular anime around? Is he saying those are the ones he doesn't like? It's like saying I only like the movies that do something special and showing th eposters of the last 4 mcu movies, lol.

I don't think he was saying they were unpopular, just different. Persona is popular but he gave an example of how it and EarthBound aren't going to the four temples of the four elements and then likened this to those anime. So presumably Attack on Titan at least is structured differently than most other anime, or so is my interpretation of what he was getting at.

It's like Death Note. Death Note was super popular but also very different from is competitors like Naruto and Bleach.

Weird comparison for Earthbound because for most of the game you are going around a bunch of shines collecting the magic macguffin, the difference is in the setting.
