Don't need tindeck or youtube, the OST is engrained into my brain. Also, don't forget that if you literally run into an enemy either their group or yours gets scattered hap haphazardly rather than compactly like your fight did... or maybe you did and the enemy got scattered. Either way, I'd suggest running into them, I don't think there's any AoE effects that you'd want to get hit with anyway.

Couple things to remember: If I recall right, Katanas are described as "knife" near the attack power. Or maybe it's "sword," either way it's described oddly, but usually the fancy names give them away. Also, gun techs and spells are never sparked, but learned after battle. Also you need the gift for magic and yadayadayada.

Raitzeno posted:Riki's scenario is the meanest all around. It starts difficult, gets worse, has a couple dick moves within it if I am remembering correctly, and then pulls a couple massive dick moves at the end in a sort of wicked one-two groin-punch. It's awful. A one-two punch you say? that's like a combo... a... combo... combo. combo!

Einander posted:At the risk of a minor derail... I'm curious about that last remark. SF2 damage between arts and spells isn't balanced at all. Even if you rush right to endgame damage magic and understand that lower JP = higher spell damage, weapon arts start out equal and only get better, so spells are relegated to support. Absurdly powerful support (Automatic on-death resurrection on everyone all the time!), but support. I'd interpret it as most weapons having durability in SF2, so being wary about using them to some extent, whereas using spells didn't deplete the durability of items used to cast.

You went to Devin and started the rune quest... then you got to Kyo? Is that possible? Doesn't something happen after you get the first rune? Or is Emila exempt and it happens after the second?

I remember early on just getting lost in the Sewers, without context or goal or starting the rune quest... and getting to the cave. And getting through the cave. And at the end just having worm broods hopping on me every time I enter the final room. Delicious Sugar Crunch!

I sort of thought it was the guardian diety of Yorkland, like the amulet she just got from Mondo. Incredibly angry at the lack of self preservation sense and deciding to kill the group before they do something even stupider... i.e split up and look for Joker while Emelia jumps in the shower or something or runs from Joker while breaking a heel. Also, villains and monsters are genetically drawn to construction sites and churces. Diva could just have been going there to lay her eggs or something.

zakharov posted:Please do Yorkland soon. That's the only part I liked when I was trying to figure this game out as a kid. It would have been better to do the rune quest with Blue. I know Emelia was railroaded in the other direction, but the fun of Yorkland is lost on Blue His text never seemed to change during the progression, so it took 2 or 3 more quests before I realized that it was worth the drinks. also he's a dick to Fei On like no one else is. I haven't played the game in years, but I was smacking my head at the fact you didn't talk to the skeleton first.  Did you mention before that when you are in the middle of one Arcane or Rune's quest you're temporally locked out of the other? Namely, if you got a card or a rune, you couldn't recruit from the other branch? Such as Gen or the Doctor. Since you didn't start the quests, you're free to get them. Finally, does anyone know if that fresco is an actual piece of art? I swear I've seen it before, but could never identify where. Reminds me of something like Raphael.

Dugan Nash posted:You technically can do that if you lose the big showdown with him later on. There's actually a few weird things that happens if you do. Such as if you buy up all the goodies that lower your LP in Mosberiberg then lose to Rouge, you get to keep the goodies but Rouge doesn't take the hit to LP that Blue took. Also, related to this, if you choose to have Blue learn physical attacks and let Rouge win, you'll lose them all, if I remember right, in case you did that to exploit a glitch

This is not exactly the elite of the elite, here. There is one other member, one who is actually competent, I might add. Won't be seeing that individual for a long time, if dude keeps to his order of scenarios.

KataraniSword posted:There's a few underlying mechanics that make them usable in endgame situations. Unfortunately, there's really only a handful of forms that are halfway usable (and stable - monster stability is the big endgame hurdle, you want a monster that won't change from its uber-powerful form into a Slime) so despite the fact that monsters start out recruited in a wide variety of forms, you're going to end up finishing the game with a swarm of one or two monster types. Speaking of that, I hope Dude goes to show the one form that never shows up in the normal game, except in that one final fight I've tried to make it multiple times, but just got sick and tired of trying to get the necessary skills.

dude789 posted:Generally I like to buy Space magic and recruit Time Lord. That way you get the best spell from the Space magic set while still allowing yourself all the gamebreaking possibilities of Time magic. In addition, Kylin is a monster, meaning that you could lose some of his spells forever if you screw things up. Also, since he's a monster type, that's just a third strike against him anyway as far as I'm concerned.

I always liked to think that the shop clerk is just too enamored with the other lizard to give half a poo poo about what you're doing. "Hey, wait, what? You're selling me a bazooka? Sure take 7 more things from the back" *8 hours later* "Where's my bazookas? I should have 90 of them!"

Shitenshi posted:I was always confused by this part. Is the game pretty much admitting that RB3 would have left everybody alone if T260G didn't stumble in HQ on his mission of self-discovery? Great going hero. It's a sentient doomsday device. Though the reactivation of it's arch enemy is an immediate escalation DEFCON1, anything else could do it just as bad, and completely blindside everyone. I'm sure Trinity dicking around with the Cosmic Cube, whoever runs the Bio-lab, or some of the other final bosses would have eventually have set it off sooner or later. Also, though it is somewhat easy to guess, Essence confirms "RB3" is short for Region Buster 3. As T260G says, it's basically the Death Star without the thermal exhaust port. For all the stupid things the Empire did, at least it only took them one revision to figure out "don't make your death machine with a glaring weakpoint." Whoever made RB3 took 2 tries. Still, they're better at it than Dr. Wily, or the Gradius aliens (And probably SaGa's Gradius too).

KataraniSword posted:On the other hand, that glaring weak point is nice to have in case of machines turning against their masters. I don't know if whoever made RB3 thought that idea through. Since it's default setting is murder everyone. There is no, "Nuke everything but Devin" line of code in the DOOM macro or script. And yeah, the lab is probably Trinity, but I don't think even Essence says it. It could be one other cartoonishly supervillainous group that we've yet to see.

Sir Unimaginative posted:The concise answer is a course on the Cold War at a local college. MAD is a perfectly valid (albeit insane) deterrent. But I don't think Dead Hand, or the US equivalent pre-aimed nukes on their allies and own country. In RB3's case, unless whoever made it lives beyond regions, it's murder-suicide.
