Just now, Acacia Sgt said: Regarding the DB, I've always brought Edward to the Endgame. Also bother to train and use Sothe and Micaiah too since they're forced anyway, so might as well. I'm too biased towards Mia to even consider Edward a candidate for Endgame. He is also a really uninteresting character to me, which, when I'm playing the game, is never a good position to be in. And Zihark joining early and with much better stats just sealed his tragic fate of being eternal bench material for me. It's easy to keep Sothe out of combat during the tower climb, so I never see much reason to train him much, either (also, he's one of the units that can die... and since I don't really care for him, well...). I give him some leftover BEXP from time to time if I feel like it, but that's basically it. My main use for him is sniping laguz with throwing knives in 3-13, after that, he's had his due.

And it's not Persona without that. XD The first Persona from what I've seen was lackluster in the cool Personas department, not all of them even got official artwork. And none of the ultimates are obtained after character growth or anything like that, only from (ideally reverse difficulty order) dungeon crawling in the Snow Queen Quest. And the main SEBEC storyline gives you the fusion items to summon the ultimates if the main character made some correct choices along the journey, with no hype when you go and make them. This said, I just stumbled on this: Spoiler The old butler who dies early in the game becomes their master's ultimate Persona. He later got this artwork in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. It's... an eclectic idea. Persona 2: Innocent Sin was the first game to give ultimate Personas character-relevancy. You get them all at once (except for one-twoish) from Philemon (Igor's master who has taken a long franchise nap after P2) with some ceremony symbolizing the group's entire progression -provided you didn't miss obtaining the relevant key items all from one temporary dungeon earlier. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment downplayed the ultimates again, but you can pick up the missable items for them in a temporary dungeon where significant character development for all happens, so they're not found in the middle of nowhere (the same dungeon IS's ultimate key items actually). And, both halves of the Persona 2 duology have nice official art for the ultimates. Here are the ones showcased on the games' boxart: Spoiler Apollo and Artemis, the truest selves of Tatsuya Suou and Maya Amano. Sun and moon, brother and sister, fire and ice. Can participate in the powerful Grand Cross and Dragon Cross Fusion Spells in IS and EP respectively, by combining their signature Nova Kaiser and Crescent Mirror spells with the other Ultimate Personas.

Khadein is only about fifty years old, yes. If they had magic before Gotoh introduced tomes and staffs, it was like Valentia's. --- Quite rare, if I recall correctly. You either have people colonizing the orbiting natural satellites since they're solid, or you have space colonies orbiting the gas giant. Sometimes, though, you get something like Bespin from Star Wars, with actual infrastructure in the planet itself. Though sticking to the surface of the cloud layers and stuff.

Lightcosmo Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Just got started on Final Fantasy XIII-2. Personally, I enjoy the first one much more, but this one has its charms. First off, this games battle changes annoy me. There is a mechanic that, each time you get hit, your max HP goes down proportional to the damage taken. So say I have 1,000 hp max, they can put my max all the way down to 100, until I just cant survive attacks any longer. I think this is dumb.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Alright, time to continue ACZ. Mission 07 is the start of the offensive. The invasion of Belka, starting from the southeast, near the intersection of the Osean, Sapinish, and Belkan borders. The game pulls a 04 and brings back the mission objective that's about scoring points within a time limit. Complete with a Return Line for repairs and rearming. Oh how I missed thee. One big difference however is that reaching the points quota ends the mission this time around. The enemy forces are scattered in five points; a center point and four corners formation. It begins with just Sector A (southeast) and the center, but destroying the latter triggers the rest to appear. Only aces trigger I can do at the moment is scoring 5000 points within seven minutes and destroy Sector C (northeast). This spawns Vampir squadron. Just a two plane formation in F-20A Tigersharks. They both live. In a bit of foreshadowing, Pixy comments on a flash of light and there's a report of the complete wipe-out of an allied squadron. Hmm... Mission 08, the invasion continues. Once more it's a three-operations thing, with the objective to destroy ground forces (Alpha Team), both air and ground (Beta Team), and just air forces (Theta Team). I went with Beta. The mix is due to assaulting an air base. It contains a few Target-labeled J35J Drakens still grounded and will take off before long. I don't think I've ever managed to stop them all from taking off. Pixy also has a comment about countries. Oh boy, it begins. Anyway, destroying the targets is only the first half of the mission. The second half... oh boy... The objective is to retreat from the combat airspace. Simple? Not quite, because FREAKIN LASER BEAMS (TM) will start raining from the sky. This part is so annoying! Though mostly if you're not patient or you're running out of time for that S rank. The laser impact areas are big circles that get marked on the radar barely seconds before the laser comes in. The mercy comes in that they always spawn in front of you, so it's just a matter of slowing down before they show up to have the room to go around it. Getting caught in the laser... that's it. Damage accumulates too fast to get out again. At least, not without some very sharp turning. The silver lining is that there's no enemies to worry about. Well, almost. This second half is where the aces spawn. For now there's only one to trigger, if the first half was completed within five minutes. Falter in a Tigershark. He carries the plane's paint scheme. KIA. Moving to Mission 09, having to confront the cause of those lasers. The Sword of Tauberg, Excalibur! Yep. It's a giant tower that can fire lasers. Theoretically this sort of thing only works as a defensive mechanism, as shown with the previous mission. However, supplemental material states there's a small satellite network carrying mirrors to reflect the laser and increase its range. A 1200KM radius reach, apparently. For this mission, Excalibur fires in a cone-shaped radius that is much easier to escape as it gets marked on radar with the player in the middle of the cone, so just fly fast forward. So, to take down Excalibur four jammers must be destroyed that disable missile firing. Then the power stations, the laser point, and finally just go at the structure itself. As far as Strangereal Superweapons go, it might among the easiest to take down. If only since there's not much else around. Like, just a single enemy chopper for anything flying. Not even Aces spawn here in a first playthrough. Well, perhaps in higher difficulties things might be different. That said, Ace Combat Infinity certainly knew how to make it harder... Anyway, this mission marks the introduction to Crow Team. With some special emphasis on Crow 3, Patrick James Beckett. Or just PJ. In the sense they bother to give him a name at all. Clearly he'll become important later on. Well, so, that's it for today. Now I'm halfway through the game. Maybe I shouldn't do three missions a day if it means I finish within a week, haha. Well, so be it, considering this I will make multiple playthroughs. Edited July 24, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Acacia brought up, the Star Wars universe does colonize at least one gas giant in the form of Bespin, the site of the famous "I am your father" scene. To give a bit of trivia on Bespin, the atmosphere itself wasn't changed to fit sentient needs, as there was a thing layer in the upper layer of the atmosphere that is habitable, which allowed it to have native wildlife and flora. Bespin is also an important source of a certain type of gas used on hyperdrives and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Eh, considering I will play on hard mode they will be used when I can bring them, but no real desire to bring them to the tower. Hard mode doesn't grant enough bexp. to give Laura enough levels for promotion in part 1. I wished healers would have a degressive experience gain like in FE13 and 14 to catch up with the others early on. Funnily due to that Lissa tended to be my first unit who hit level 20 in FE13.

Shrimpica Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Random Shrimpz Ramblings 2.0 So another thing i've been thinking about is how to make a unique ''Jagen''. Not the usual boring paladin we get. One idea i got is a ''Dragon Thief Jagen''. Falls off hard combat wise after a few chapters, but has something that makes him/her very valuable ''Steal Breath'' Basically a ranged attack that allows you to steal an item.
