Are monsters supposed to be kicking my rear end early in the game? I defeated the blue fire lady after getting to the first town in Gormott and now monsters in the same general area are pretty consistently defeating me, even the ones close to or at my level. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have accessories equipped, I've been buying skills and weapon skills, I'm timing arts correctly on the third hit in each combo. I'm at level 9 but I haven't really been going out of my way to avoid fights so I'm assuming that's a fine level to be at.

Hi sorry I'm not combing the thread out of part fear part lazy, but i have two mechanical questions. When salvaging when is the "right" time to press the button? Second I dont think i get this combo system entirely. I understand the A button starts an elemental combo but moving to the next teir or level of attack is tripping me up. To combine my party members water attack with my fire, she needs a level two "A" button combo correct? And to advance after that i need a level three "A" button?

The way the game/systems are set up, you are always expected to be rolling around with at least one other party member. That early in Gormott I also gather they don't really expect you to do many of the out of town side quests. Focus on the main story quest because I think they'll be setting you up with a buddy soon.

I figure I'll ask my follow up here about QTE timing. Do i want to be inside the darker outer circle, in the middle of both the light and the dark, or in the middle of the lighter circle for salvaging and special attack bonuses?

Neat. Chapter 4 menu feature: In Merc Group, if you set a rare Blade as the team leader they use a unique team name instead of Team <name of common blade>. I have Finch in the lead and the team is called the Albatrojans.

Ciaphas posted:In voice related matters, turns out Game narration volume is what you use to silence the battle chatter, not Battle narration. Unfortunately(?) Game narration is tied to e.g. traveling, collection, post-battle, etc. So what is Battle narration? Still have yet to play, is it possible to mute the battle VA but leave it on for cutscenes and such?

8-bit Miniboss posted:Nia is my main healer, but I still gave her a Tank blade for offensive skills (swapped out the one aggro skill) and element variety. Extra healing is never bad and Kora is one of the few electric blades I have. Also rares have way more affinity slots so you're just leaving benefits on the table otherwise. The only thing I've been wondering about this is how much the class effects factor in. If (for example) Rex has 3 ATK blades then he gets 3 arrows in his "increase damage" class effect. If you switch one out for something else then you lose an arrow in that but gain 1 arrow in whatever other class effects. What I don't know is how significant that modifier is and whether that outweighs the potential extra affinity slots (from rare vs common) and other utility from mixing up the types, but it's something to consider.

Since it doesn't really surface a number, I haven't really cared to be honest. I've been rolling with Rex as a Wild Cavalier (2 ATK and 1 HLR), Nia as a Holy Cavalier (2 HLR and 1 ATK) with Tora as TNK and I feel I'm putting out a good chunk of damage all the while staying topped up on health easily.

I did some basic testing with an ATK rare (wulfric) vs a HLR rare (adenine) on Rex with the same tier of weapon, with the other two Blades being ATK. Just eyeballing damage numbers I lost maybe 70-80 damage off the autoattack? It went from 300ish to like 220-230. So it's definitely there but considering all the other damage modifiers and multipliers it's probably not a massive difference in the end.

For those that have gotten up to Chapter 4, I think we need to have a serious discussion about the most important part of the early stretch of it; Dromarch wears an adorable sleeping cap in bed  .

One thing I really hate about the game is if you get a really good blade but it's on the wrong character. Rex could really use a good tank but he got Dagas as his first rare (axe attacker) while Nia got Electra (lightning tank). I want them to swap blades but apparently Overdrives are the rarest item in the game.

 Just got this guy from a common on Nia as my... fourth? rare. He's a Healer too so that's pretty cool with me, we'll see how he works out for her. I'm a ways into Chapter 3 now with ~18 hours played and so far I've gotten Godfrey, Boreas (that fatty up there), Dagas and Floren. I could actually talk to some random guy earlier with a like... trophy cup over his head and Floren said something to him and then nothing happened? I'm not sure what that was all about but I guess some rares actually open up sidequests or additional dialog options or something?

Out of my 3 rare cubes I've only gotten 1 actual rare blade Nothing from the commons either. I'm almost tempted to reset the entire game because I feel genuinely ripped off lol.

Has it been confirmed that luck increases chances of getting a better blade from cores, or is it just for landing/resisting debuffs as the tutorial explained?

Didn't one of the (lovely) tutorials straight up say that luck affects getting uniques? Two questions: What does left on the D-pad do during combat? My best guess is it focuses everyone on Rex's target? Does changing the time affect the tide or do I have to rest at an inn?

Oh my god. I take back everything I said about this game not being all that anime. This game is maximum anime. Of multiple genres. At once. In one of the greatest, silliest boss fights ever to grace a serious RPG. This game gets sooooo freaking good.

Common cores are pretty easy to find, so the best way of getting rares is just stock pile enough and whale away. All 6 of the rare cores I've found were generics but the 30 some odd commons I used two were rares. Apparently you can get KOS-MOS from a common core but I don't believe that.
