at first i thought the furbies were jews, because of their love of gold, but as you talk to them they talk about making deals, buying on the cheap, and one of them talks about how they cook everything using high eated oil becasue it's quick and efficient. which means they're chinese

I think the common/rare odds must be barely different cuz every rare ive gotten has come from common eggs just because I have 10x as many

salvaging and exploring the cool vistas has consumed the last two days of my life and now I unlocked platinum cylinders and I can't find anyone to sell them to me

I should just get the last party member and then look around

so far i think the best healing rare i;ve gotten is the shy singer on the polar bear. she heals your whole party for 40% of their max hp just for switching to her. some of the healing blades dont seem to have anything related to healing on them, like the angsty librarian missing half her torso. shes listed as a healer, but her only moves are two different guard breaks, and some passives to increase item drop rates and fusion combo damage.

also it seems like greataxes are bad because they are so slow and all the fast weapons are really good.

i have a rare blade called floren and it seems like a girl and is voiced by a girl, but its registered as a male, and in its personal quest i think it was just proposed to by a high ranking male government official.

this game has a ownage soundtrack, but the audio mixing is pretty terirble most of the time

the weapon skills are different depending on who the blade's driver is, so someone listed as a Healer may be useless on Rex but somebody else may have potion spawning abilities or a AOE heal.

I didn't know blades do things when you switch to them. Where does the game tell you what those powers are?

Do you just get quests automatically from your blades after a certain point? I'm at the start of chapter 3. I had a moment of intense introspection after watching an extended conversation between two Nopon, kind of marveling at how Monolithsoft has made these puffball "Meh Meh!" creatures their primary nonhuman race, like their version of elves, and how mad and bizarrely confident that decision is, and how I am 31 years old and playing this game

If you hit L/R when looking at blades in any of the management window you can see info on their passives

blade quests are unlocked automatically by story progression and when you get merc missions. any ??? on the rare blade affinity tree is tied to some sort of even and eventually the game will tell you explicitly what to do on the affinity tree after a certain point, like a couple of pyra's and drommarch's ??? get filled in at the start of chapter 5 so u know what quest/cutscene/merc mission 2 do

gotcha, thanks. This game is bizarre and fun to dig into. The pacing alone is miles ahead of XCX which makes it more rewarding to dig into and progress through instead of feeling like you're pouring your time into an unending pit

some of the crabs/snails/whatever that appear during salvaging seem to drop common ones every time. if you fail the qte one shows up every time [make sure u don't have salvaging mastery on one of your dudes tho]

rare ones drop much more rarely :p

So i was wondering are you guys playing this with english or japanese voices? I played with japanese cause I'm a huge weeb but I also heard that the english dub isn't great. If I ever play through it again I'll probably do it with english voices cause I kinda wanna hear Nia say "spanner."

I've been swapping between. There's some characters I prefer the dub like Nia, but some I prefer original like Morag and any nopon

I like the dub, it's a little goofy but it fits the entire plot and tone of this nuts game
