I can understand NISA halfassing some falcom games but failing to get games from their own parent company out speaks to some pretty big problems in there

NISA is absolutely DEEN in that everyone hates them for a couple of high profile gently caress ups when most of their output is fine.

that doesn't really excuse how catastrophic their gently caress ups are, especially when their less bad localizations still aren't particularly good and their high profile gently caress ups include some games people got really excited for

I don't have as much faith in Japanese business culture.

All it takes sometimes is for certain folks to go out drinking together and suddenly contracts are locked in.

ys is a classic action rpg franchise that's built up a considerably big fanbase in the west and doesn't require too much knowledge of its encompassing lore to get into, and tokyo xanadu was a similarly simple action rpg with an appealing premise that was a surprise hit in japan. trails games are too much overhead for a smaller western fanbase than ys when bigger companies can seek out way cheaper, safer projects

Also a lot of the people at Aksys who worked on Tokyo Xanadu are former XSeed employees who worked on Sky FC, so.

NISA kinda screwed the pooch by promising a simultaneous PS4/PC release for Ys and then dropping the ball in a way that became public such that even places that don't care about Ys reported on it. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

okay I picked Berseria back up and I just got the ability to enhance things up to +6. Is there some... trick to the equipment system I'm missing other than "pour huge amounts of dropped equipment into the grinder to get materials to upgrade things"? With the occasional "upgrade things specifically so you can break them down" when I'm running low on Tempering Powder?

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

no, the equipment system is meant to be simple. there's some jank to just how much stuff you get but after the clusterfuck that was Zestiria's equipment system, I'll take it.

Well, my main concern is, say, getting a significant quantity of Silver Scrap, which I am extremely low on. If there's something to do other than slap on a bunch of equipment drop up effects and go figure out where the gently caress I can find something that drops stuff that breaks down into silver.

It's been a while since I finished Berseria, but aren't Silver Scraps ultra rare components that can only be salvaged from other equipment that produces Silver Scraps? I'm pretty sure there's a class of component that works like that, and that Silver Scrap falls under it.

Zereth
Jul 9, 2003



I mean... I haven't found a significant source of any upgrade materials yet that isn't "breaking down equipment", so that kind of describes every upgrade material?

Sure, I've found some of them lying on the ground, but one Coarse Tempering Powder isn't a big deal when I'm evidently going to need hundreds of it.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The combat in Berseria is EZ Mode and you're unlikely to ever find enough materials to fully upgrade a weapon before the next shiny tier becomes available, so I would suggest not really worrying about it.

Yeah just break down poo poo when you don't need it any more, upgrade current stuff if you can or just move on with what you've got.

Berseria's equipment system is such that the actual stat bonuses you see on the equipment isn't nearly as important as the total value of the upgrade numbers equipped on one person, since you get bonuses for passing certain thresholds.

My endgame equipment was a bunch of early game materials just pushed as high as they go.

Definitely just

do that but then keep in mind when you end up stocked up with like 99 of old materials that they aren't worthless.
