 Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space is a new mobile game from the writer of Chrono Trigger. It's a free to play jrpg where you can spend real money if you want to get all your choice anime waifus and husbandos, but the game also rewards you with the resources to roll for characters by completing side-quests and beating certain enemies, so you'll be able to get your fair share without spending a dime. It's also quite similar to Chrono Trigger. Aside from having a plot about time travel and the possible effects it can have, the game also has... other  similarities  Hey Lavos, you in one of these, buddy? The game is plays well on mobile (though it's an energy hog) and lacks some of the world-traveling overworld aspects that CT got from Dragon Quest, but there's still plenty of towns to go to and foot-travel, and there's not too much grinding involved.  It feels much more like a full-fledged game than some mobile freemiums, which are like watered down versions of their source franchise. Also there's a lot of cats in this game. Maybe cats help sell apps?

Also notably there's no energy system limiting how long you can play, and no ads popping up encouraging the player to spend real money. It's remarkably non-intrusive for a freemium game.

I was wondering when someone would make this thread. Thank you for doing so. This game feels more like an old console RPG than any other phone game I've played. I'm enjoying it quite a lot so far. I just got to the water elemental town. I'm sure people are going to ask which character they should be picking from the fateful encounter. I went with Ciel, as he apparently can get to 5*, and you get a free Miyu for playing early (pre-ordering?). If you can't get the free Miyu, she's a good choice as well, similar to Aldo, but she's doing more damage. I just did my first 10-pull, and I have no idea how to assess the potential of all these characters from the in-game information. I like all the character designs though.

I don't really see the point of the gacha since it feels so much like a single player RPG. I wish I could've viewed the sprites before I picked my first character but I figure it's whatever.

The gacha element seems tacked on as a way to make money. It also opens up specific character quests, but it’s primary purpose is to allow the game to be free while also providing a revenue source. I’m a little annoyed that Riica is so far the only healer because I need scrolls to get her to 4 stars and I don’t know if I’ll be able to promote her to 5 stars. Healers are a rare commodity in this game.

I'm enjoying the game a lot. It does a lot of a decent character moments in the side quests and character stories. However, the boss fights are really my favorite parts since they have their unique dialogue and great music. This game hits a lot of same spots that bigger jrpgs do. I do see a problem with gacha on the horizon though. As you get further into the game, the story characters feel more and more underpowered. I'm currently grinding out to try and get them all to 4*s to alleviate this, but it's pretty slow going with hard dungeons being time limited. My real issue is just with the simple fact that 5 star characters just get 20 more levels compared to a 4* ones. Don't get me wrong though, I'm really liking the game so far. It has a low time commitment too, just farming for class change items. I've even read that events that get added stay in the game permanently. At the very least, I plan on completing the story. Any issues I have with levels appear to only matter after that. We'll see if it's worth sticking around for further updates and so on.

I put this down due to having way too many mobile games to play but it’s fun. The last boss I fought was the time tower one and it’s gimmick made me use everything at my disposal to win so hopefully the bosses continue being cool

Yeah I'm getting to the point where characters will become useless unless I find the specific items that unlock their 4 star classes. Without that they'll reach max level and the game will come to a halt, so it's really a process of going through Another Dungeon levels to get those items. Which is more grinding than I'm comfortable with. The bosses continue to be cool, each has a gimmick and balancing characters to hit their weaknesses works well.

I guess there's hard enough content to require that outside of the main game. I did not realize there's like 2 years of content in JP that we do not have.

Seems like this will become a game I play for a short bit every day, since I’ve now reached where it’s impossible to progress further without leveling up Riica with the right tome. And that requires those green keys that respawn 4 per day.

This game is vaguely reminiscent of Chrono Trigger and packed with characters that aren't relevant to the central story, not doing anything outside their own little quests. It's Chrono Cross but better. By mobile gatcha standards this is pretty decent. Got Deirdre to three stars and she's already as effective as some of my four star characters. Getting a copy of Aldo's four star class book from the event rewards was a nice bonus.

They're giving away a one time gift of a thousand free gems plus another daily hundred for the two year anniversary of the Japanese release if anyone else is thinking of stocking up for when more content comes out. Also there's a new not-Spekkio guy at the Spacetime Rift.

All of the times for story characters are in the side episodes. Riica's is in the IDA part 1 episode in the future. That will save you some grinding for RNG, but put you on event grinding. At least events don't go away. Keep doing the story and you'll get enough Chrono stones to roll a 10 spot fairly quickly. Especially once the reward for finishing a chapter bumps to 100. Don't sleep on the three encounter characters, Azami in the present, Gariyu in the past and Cerrine in the future. You might now be able to defeat all of their fights but you can get a good sense of what they're about and when you finish the fifth fight free 4.5*. Also, always do the character quests, another good source of Chrono stones, as are all the village quests and encountering new monsters. Plus character quests unlock attacks/spells and level up your VC, aka what happens when you pull a character from the back line to the front line. If you have Mighty, Suzette or Shion go and do their manifest weapon fight in the space rift. One last thing. I've been playing since last February and haven't spent one dollar and have plenty of 5*s. Both natural and upgraded. The gacha evens out. Don't hesitate to ask questions. I've rarely grind, don't fish and Otherlands VH can eat me. But I have fun.

Post a pic of your characters and we can let you know. 3* Knights, Robots and Rainbow sisters are mostly trash. One of the knights, Bria is getting an AS 5* form soon. Rascyc posted:I asked around and some JP players told me it's mainly to circumvent grinding the upgrades. I apparently have not unlocked the mechanic in the game to upgrade rarities or whatever, supposedly the path to go from 3 star to 4 star is incredible and going to 5 star is very much dedicated to the game levels of grinding. So people just roll the gacha to bypass that.

I gotta say, after years of not being able to afford anything but lovely old phones (and not buying any apps since my 4th Gen Touch broke) I was finally able to get an 11 Pro Max in October and AE was one of the first games I downloaded, having heard great things about it - and this game, much like Last Cloudia, is so good at what it does and un-restricting for F2P that I'm probably going to go for that $35 deal they always seem to have going. A big fat tip in the jar, I guess. (LC's already got $8 out of me, no doubt more to come in the future.)

Main thing you're going to want to find is a healer, but I think a 4* one is good enough for a lot of the game and once you do the Persona 5 stuff Mona's solid.

I'd say the best right now is the Anniversary banner with the manifestation banner a good second. If you want characters who give bonuses for the events, the first three episodes have permanent banners and the newest episode has a temporary one. Everyone always says shoot for Mariel, but if you're early in the game any character is good.

Huh, I just finished an IDA school hard and Jade's shadow went up by 1. Never seen that before. Is that special for the star of the side-stories, or does anyone have a low chance of leveling up after a dungeon?

All of the story characters have a 10% chance to go up in hard and 20% in very hard in specific dungeons. The episode characters get the episode dungeons and Amy is the Industrial Ruins, Cyrus Man Eating Marsh, etc. https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/Another_Dungeon#Story_Character_Light.2FShadow_Points

Good to be aware of. Another question I haven't been able to find an answer to, are tomes that drop in dungeons affected by the units you have? For example will I get Dragoon tomes after Suzette's already that class, or if I didn't have her at all? If so, is there a use for them?

Check the wiki: https://anothereden.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Another_Eden_Wiki&useformat=mobile The best leveling spot right now is the Beast King's castle. You may or may not be there yet. For me, I just park guys who need levels in the back row. Of course, I have too many that need to be leveled and I don't care enough to actually do it. Lol

Main thing I'll note is that once end of time dungeons show up you're expected to poke around in them as part of the gear progression. When I got stuck on the main story I'd jump into one of those to upgrade folks' gear, and come out the other side with enough levels to be n top of it too.

Anyone here I should be focusing on? I'm around Chapter 15, finished the Persona collab, finished Two Knights, and have started on Absolute Zero. 5* (and possible) on the left, 4*'s on the right. I've mainly been using Nagi AS, Suzette, Tsukiha, Morgana, with Toova AS and Felmina in reserve.

Like people have said, Suzette's a good AoE wind with her mighty weapon (once you can get that, peobably doable earlier if you have a cleanse for poison/pain, I had to brute-force heal it). The added skill effects don't come into play until you get the weapon to level 10 and beat the boss again, but each level lowers the cost and increases the power. I've found between Slash (fire/slash) and Dream Needle (Pierce, and sleep if things don't die right away) Joker's got a whole bunch of places he can hit weakness. The skills are cheap and a double-cast will kill any non-resistant enemies so it's a great way to clear through a dungeon quickly if you're having trouble doing that. He only needs to hit weakness on one enemy to do a double-cast. Absolute Zero's got fire-weak enemies, my farming team is him carrying 5 score-multipliers.

Gerdalti posted:Hmm, I'll have to mess with joker some. I've been using Tsukiha as my fire person, but that double use sounds interesting. It definitely has him punch well above his weight level. His actual high-level skills are non-typed magic (aside from triple burst, which with auto-crit will absolutely destroy pierce-weak single targets) so I don't think they balanced around his cheap stuff. Even when not hammering weaknesses Eiha/Eigaon is a 25/35% debuff to ALL typed damage taken, making him handy support. Looking at his skills, I think he's one of my only characters where I wish I could bring more than three at once. Megidolan (AoE damage/stun that scales up with fewer targets so it's still viable) and Heat Riser (power/int +30% for 3 turns, most similar buffs I see are 1 turn) are neat but there's just no room. E: if you didn't know, Mona does the same thing. He's just more limited in hitting weaknesses, only wind and one 50mp blunt attack. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Feb 11, 2020 |

Joker is good when grinding, his VC is usually enough to take out medium trash mobs. Good for leveling up or running ADs without having to Regen mp in the back line or use your food. The new 5* is a healer, which is always nice I'd you don't have Mariel or Yuna. Erina and Myrus will do in a pinch as well. Fezz fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 11, 2020 |

IDA school 1 done, all score rewards complete. Probably better things I could've been doing with my time, but it was what I chose to do. IDA 2 up next, since I already have the team for bonus multipliers put together. Or maybe I'll go back to the actual plot. Things not being on timers feels so good, I can just play according to my whims.
