I think it was “west, east, east, get the chest, west, than north.” You’ll know you’re going the right way because it’ll turn evening and then turn nighttime.

And yeah, that part of the game was confusing, because the direction given isn’t succinctly accurate, and you have to figure out the details largely on your own that you need to go back to…[Read more]

Yep, you were right, so thanks again! 🙂

I didn’t even realize that I was meant to go through the final battle again. Which meant I had to walk all the way back there. But yeah. Each subsequent Quest unlocked at an approximate proportion to how far along I was with the post-game objective.

Err, how? The Main Quest advances beyond the Final Boss in Post Game?

So, it seems a 5th Night Star is obtained from defeating the Griffon at the mountaintop north of Alpicoco Village.

Right. Slipped my mind just that fast. You have to +5 at least 30 of ’em.

In fact, I think the Level the new party members join you at are meant to be the Levels you’re “supposed” to be in the game at the time you get them. Granted, it’d have made a lot of the game harder and more tedious if I wasn’t overleveled past those boundaries, but still.

Like, I do figure money wouldn’t likely as big an issue if a player’s not trying to keep everyone decked out and/or +5-ing one of everything like I was.

Woah. Also, I didn’t realize there was a “Peninsula of Power Leveling” on the Firmament!

But yes. It’s unlikely that there’ll be any changes/additions like there is in Journey to Kreseia. (I need to finish my 2nd Playthrough of that game.)

Yeah, it’d have been a nice chance to further flesh out Wien, Lloyd, and the 10th member. But oh well.

Also, how’d you beat Ishbel’s first battle? Without Levels and Equipment carrying over, it feels like Treasure boosts wouldn’t be enough.

Ah. I wasn’t that hardcore, honestly. (And I guess you meant all the characters you used. The late comers were pretty underleveled compared to my overleveled party, so they never caught up past Asagi.)

As someone who aimed to +5 everything I could, including the occasional dropped items, I had money issues from about the mid to mid-late parts of the game. Once the nest egg of Quest money dries up, I found myself scrounging for Gold. Kelka (sp) and Porto’s updated shops were super expensive, too. Now, late game and post game, yeah, you get…[Read more]

That’s really strange. It may have been intentional, but it almost feels like an oversight.

Like, Len and Chloe gained theirs in accordance to the story. It sorta felt like most of the others would have gained theirs that way, too. But some of the characters fall into the background after their intros, and we don’t really get over-arching…[Read more]

A couple other Equipment have a drop 5% increase. The Chakram from early game, for one.

The increase is probably like Gold and Exp increases: multiplicative rather than straight cumulative. So if we say the monster drop is 2%, then (2 * .05) + 2 = 2.1% drop rate, instead of 7%. That would explain the nominal difference drop increasing items…[Read more]

Yeah, for whatever reason, once getting the 10th member back, the game doesn’t directly tell you to enter the Silent Forest. There are a couple of kids and an old man by the town entrance, who aren’t normally there and are gone once your business in the Silent Forest is finished. They hint how to get passed the “Lost Woods” area, but otherwise…[Read more]

It applies to everyone in the Party, so long as the Equipped member is in the active four.

Side note, but was always super hesitant about selling old Equipment. They aren’t always straight upgrades from the last. You should definitely hold on to any Rings.

For future reference, this boss’s Danger attack triggers whenever it has been Flinched. Frustrating, because you just gained new party member who can Flinch enemies en-mass. Jamming is no problem and is still beneficial, but just be mindful of flinching.

I used the 10th party member to do 71,000-ish points of damage against the Light Golems that wander Tuloose. Built up their SP and prepped with Crt Rate and Atk boosting Enhancements, and maybe a Def and Freeze debuff from Wien. 10th’s final Skill is powerful, especially when it gets a Critical Hit. 10th had high Crt Power, which magnifies…[Read more]
