Personally I actually really like the dub though, outside of the older male characters they very clearly casted a younger guy to play.

Humerus posted:I'm still completely baffled by the mission pass. When you go to buy a tier with star gems, does that mean literally one tier from the gold section? Like currently tier 8 has a cool pirate costume I would like. Once I get to tier 8 (or if, since I don't have a lot of time to play), would I need 200 gems to buy all 8 tiers or can I spend only 25 to get just tier 8? When you get to a tier, you get the items associated with it. Buying a tier just makes you advance a tier automatically. You just need mission pass gold in order to get the gold section of items.

explosivo posted:Is there an easy way to determine where I need to go to complete a client order like Kill X Automatas without having to google it? I'm sure I'll eventually start to memorize where these things spawn but I was hoping there was another quest log I'm not seeing that tells me where I can find the thing. Automatas show up in any field on Lilipa (desert, underground shafts, abandoned mine). The other races for each planet are Sylvants for Naverius (forest, tundra, ruins), Draconians for Amduskia (volcanic caverns, floating continent, dragon alter), Oceanids for Wopal (coast, seabed, floating facility), and Nightfallers for Harukotan (daybreak and nightfall provinces)

punk rebel ecks posted:I hate that bosses can be beaten by dying and going back to the level over and over again. Like I can keep dying to a boss but when I fight it again the amount of HP I took off is still accounted for. It used to be going back to the ship when you were fighting a boss in the final area failed the quest. That still is the case for a lot of stuff, just not explorations.

The best way to beat her right now is to fly in the air and fire missiles at her, with the occasional sword lunge when you see an opening.

Mordiceius posted:For Hunter - what is the benefit of Partisans vs Swords/Dual Blades? Partisans have a Photon art that throws out an energy spear into an enemy, and then records the damage that you do to that enemy for a few seconds, and then explodes dealing a portion of the total damage that you did while it was on them. This makes them great for single target fights where you have the opening to combo a boss for a few seconds. Gunblades are... bad. There's not a single class that benefits from using them over one of their other weapons. That said if you really love gunblade, a Fighter/Hunter using a gunblade can put out a decent amount of damage. It's just very high effort for a very middling reward.

Morshu posted:So I got curious and read up on some of the episodes that haven't been released in the west yet and please tell me episode 4 isn't as dumb as the summary I read sounds (spoilers I guess?) When you play the game you're controlling a real person in an alternate dimension and then John PhantasyStar comes to the real world Not really. Basically the Earth in PSO2 is not our Earth, and the PSO2 they have isn't our PSO2. IIRC it's something like the power of the Ether created by Mother allows the people of earth to connect to the dimension that PSO2 is in through the catalyst of a "game." However it isn't supposed to be a whole meta thing where it's like "all that previous stuff in the story was just a video game all along!" or anything. E: The game's story is a decent anime-rear end plot, but if that's not your thing then you're probably not gonna like it much.

Lemon-Lime posted:General question, but where is NA in relation to the JP version in terms of balance changes? Obviously we're missing content (PA crafting, complex PAs, a ton of skill rings, etc.), but are the PA/weapon stats in line with how they are in JP right now or are we just multiple patches behind and we'll gradually be caught up even if it means getting changes in a patch that JP later iterated on? We're in a very strange place in NA right now. We have all of the balance changes that were in JP up to the xbox one closed beta. There was a couple changes to katanas that happened in JP soon after the closed beta that we haven't gotten yet though. We have all of the PAs other than crafted PAs and complex PAs. However we only have story content up through Episode 3 (JP is in late Episode 6 right now), and actual quest content up to early Episode 3. As such we're really behind on weapons, although they claim that they want to be caught up to JP by the end of the year. E: btw, jet boots element absolutely stays when you use jetsweep kick here in NA. That was a change made back in 2018 in JP. Saagonsa fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jun 5, 2020 |

Nigulus Rex posted:I'm trying to complete the "BOOST ELEMENTS ON YOUR FAVOURITE GEAR" quest, and after fumbling in game and googling I'm not sure what to do. I went to dudu, enhanced my launcher that has light on it with another weapon (different type), also with light on it. It upgraded it but didn't complete the quest. I am clearly missing something here. To boost a weapon's element you need it to be at least the same weapon type of the same rarity. That'll boost your weapon's element by 1. Having it be the same weapon but a different element will boost it by 10, and the same weapon that is the same element will add their elements together.

The story starts getting alright around the end of episode 1, and I'd say that Episode 2's moves it into the "actually decent" category. The start of Episode 4 is actually really dire, the worst it's ever been, but it redeems itself by the end.

cathead posted:Are you sure about this? I just tested and if I charge up say, Grants a few times to get the focus bar to full, I see the light particle effect just fine until the bar runs out (or I Jetsweep to dump it all immediately), then it goes away. Does the element still persist even after the particle effect is gone? Yeah, I just tried it now and it kept my element after jetsweep kick. You don't get any of the elemental effects on your kicks at 0 gear, but that's normal. Once you build your gear back up you'll still have the last element you had before using the kick.

Pumpkinreaper posted:Couldn't they have just stripped out whatever it was that forced you to grind missions to advance the story and instead have you run into the story beats instantly in missions (from the description given so far, it sounded like you had to find X things before you would run into npc's that'd give you the next bit of story?) rather than just have a video player to go through them all, missing a shitton of context? There's actually very little context missing. The way it used to work is that you ran around in a free field and sometimes a blue/gold tablet would appear, and interacting with it gave you a cutscene. They just cut out the step of needing to farm out free explores in order to find the scenes Also it sucked because a couple of those scenes only showed up after beating one of the raid bosses, so you'd have to wait for one of those to show up while you were online if you wanted to see that scene

Seizon posted:I just picked this up & I'm having a blast with bouncer even though I've got no clue what's going on at all. I love how you get to jump all over the place with the jet boots, but what's the deal with the variant attack that just sends you slowly drifting off backwards? Why is the weapon technique a little hop? Is it for iframes? Is 'gear' somehow different from focus? I also did a solo volcano expedition and for some reason was allowed to spawn in right in front of the Vol Dragon, so I just have no idea how missions are supposed to work at all I guess The variant on Gran Wave is all iframes and autocasts Deband (defense up) if you have that tech learned. The weapon action on boots activates the elemental burst skill and resets your element back to the original element of the weapon, although that isn't particularly useful. Gear and Focus are the same thing, it was just called Gear in JP and Focus in NA. Explorations are just "do whatever" quests where there are 3 areas, 2 of them full of mobs and randomly occuring emergency codes, and the final area where a boss is.

jokes posted:Is techter supposed to play like a Force with melee capabilities? It sure seems like nobody wants my buffs so I might as well dunk meteors on dudes in between combos. It depends on your subclass. Techter/Hunter is 100% melee and buffs (techter buffs are very powerful and greatly appreciated!). Techter/Fighter uses melee for groups, but techs for bosses and such (and also buff, I cannot stress how good techter buffs are!) Wand does eventually get a photon art, it came out in JP around episode 5, so we'll probably get it when we get to that point.

Bouncer/Techter using Niren Orochi (60% damage on breakable parts) made zanverse ticks stronger than the actual hits procing zanverse, during a time where the big important raid boss had a bunch of breakables that you went for. It was very stupid. E: Also, ranger generates aggro like a motherfucker, for some reason. They can even pull it away for war cry-ing hunters (because war cry is very ineffective right now). If you wanted something mobile and up close, but didn't want the melee classes, I would suggest trying out gunner though.

Yeah DPS is just calculated by taking the effective damage notation of an attack, dividing it by the number of frames between when you start the attack and when you can Perfect Attack again, and then multiplying that number by 60. It's not gonna tell you what to use in 100% of dynamic situations or anything. Just a good tool to keep in mind when deciding what attacks to use where.
