You... have a solid point there. I'm not sure whether or not I like these long battles or not. In one hand, the intensity of fighting it out for that long gives you this tingling feeling when you finally pull it off, on the other hand, losing... really sucks. Like I said, that was a 3 hour battle and the first time i failed, so yeah, that sucked. Anyone else enjoy drawn out battles? Surely a Xenoblade 2 player knows where I'm coming from! 😛 You could be just as insane as me, after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely glad to be done with that class. Now I have some extra time next week to work on my backlog, get some writing done, and check on the status of job applications which no employer ever responds to. Good luck with that! 15 hours ago, lightcosmo said: Alrighty, I just completed Tales of Berseria. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caster Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 The more you are fed lies and told to believe everything is horrible, the more likely you are to believe it, in it, comes the truth, or the falsehood being claimed as the truth... a world of manipulation of what is true, I truly hate it. Yet I am made to bathe in lies and soak in my own disgust. What a horrible world, where no one does any research, and holds still to only the words of others... It's time for bed. Goodnight.

Everyone else was easy, since Neptune is one of my favorites, I like Tio more than Mythra and I have no clue who Melia is, so choosing Nia was practically a given.

As you can see, Noire is one Corner with her clone off to the left, (just can't see her) Blanc is in the top left, and Neptune is in the top right along with Vert. Blanc is tanking Uni alone, and Neptune and Vert are clearing out baddies one by one. This was my position for a very long time. But Noire was MVP here tanking two enemies for that long.

Nice strategy! ^^ Way to go, Noire! --- As for me, I played more Nights of Azure this morning. Didn't progress the story, though, I just did some quests and such. Another thing I really like about the game is how Ruswal Island is all one connected area and you can travel freely around the city areas as long as your time limit permits it (you can get VERY far in the initial 15 minutes, and that gets extended through leveling up). The only one way areas are the main dungeons themselves, so once you enter them, you can't go anywhere else but forward. One dungeon, however, you can't travel to on foot, you have to select it from the world map, and that is the very first one, the Count's Rose Garden.

You can spend as much time in the hotel as you want, only once you leave it and go out into the city, you get 15 minutes (or more later on) to explore anywhere you like (although that time limit gets lifted once you enter a boss fight. You have basically infinite time to beat those (thank goodness)). Also, story scenes that happen in the city and dungeons don't detract from your time limit, either, so if you have, say 7 minutes left and enter a cutscene, you still have 7 minutes to go after the scene ends. Hotel: Spoiler City/Dungeon (dungeon in this case): Spoiler Boss Battle: Spoiler And you're not on a time crunch to beat the game. That's in Nights of Azure 2, where you have to beat a chapter before it hits new moon (until New Game+, where this restriction is lifted, as well).

Or do you have 15 minutes to explore the city and whatever dungeon you go into? I suck at explaining things. I'm sorry... To answer your first question: the city and the dungeons are only different in that you can backtrack in the city, but not in the dungeons, and dungeons always end in a boss fight. Regular enemies to fight are found practically everywhere. Detailed explanation, if you like: Spoiler The moment you leave the hotel, you enter the town map and you can select which area you want to start your exploration from. This isn't much different from any stage select found in other games . You then get 15 minutes (or more later on when you level up) to explore the outside world, that is, Ruswal, the city on the island of the same name. Entering a city area, such as the subway, there are no restrictions aside from the time limit and you can go back and forth between areas as you please. For example, you could run all the way to the market quarter and back to the hotel. As a side note: You will also occasionally find gates that take you back to the hotel. Once you use one for the first time, you get the ability to begin exploration from that gate's location (basically, they're fast travel points, but you can't warp there while you're already exploring, only when exiting the hotel to the town map). Once you enter a "dungeon" (via the city area that connects to it, or the town map), you can only move forward until you reach the boss of said dungeon or find a gate to take you back to the hotel (same rules apply: once you've used a gate once, you can travel there via the town map). Once you defeat the boss, the dungeon is cleared and you have to return to the hotel via the menu. But you can revisit the dungeon and challenge the boss as many times as you please. To answer your second question: If you enter a dungeon from the city area that connects to it, your time limit is not reset. Say, for example, you begin exploration from the area that directly connects to the hotel. You then have to travel through the subway and market quarter to get to the Opera House. Let's just say for the sake of this example that this takes you eight minutes. This leaves you with seven minutes to explore the Opera House and reach the gate or the boss. Once you enter the boss fight, the time limit no longer applies, and once you beat the boss, you have to return to the hotel via the "Return" option in the menu, you can't walk back. No matter how you end up returning to the hotel, you get thrown into a "result screen" where you get all the money, items, and experience (blood) you found while exploring, and your Servans will also gain EXP.

Mythra isn't the worst chef in a Japanese game I've seen; at least her cooking never made anyone explode. Speaking of which, I have an odd Xenoblade cooking headcanon. Spoiler For how notable Pyra and Mythra's cooking abilties are, we don't get to see Pneuma cook (though it would never come up anyway since they only fuse if they need her power). She could just be as good as Pyra, but she has both Pyra and Mythra's positive qualities so that would be boring. Thus, I assume that she uses unconventional ingredients and cooking methods like Mythra does, but she knows how to cook properly so the food still turns out delicious.
