Interdimensional Observer Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 30 minutes ago, Armagon said: That's basically me at the moment. I've just been playing cards. I can refresh you on Spirit Numbers then! The Spirit Numbers are the numbers in the corners of every card. A Spirit Combo is playing the numbers to form Pairs or Straights, which provide a damage reduction on defense, and a total damage increase on offense (and healing). Pressing whatever the "A" button is on your controller will always play the number in the upper right corner, you can flick the C-Stick in the direction of whichever corner you want to play on Magnus with multiple numbers. Pairs must have the numbers played adjacent to each other IIRC, I don't believe a hand of "2-4-2-4" will count as anything. You need "2-2". Pairs can mean more than 2 of the same number, "4-4-4-4-4" will provide you with a cool 45% damage increase. You can mix pairs together, like "8-8-8-1-1", you'll then get a separate bonus for each, 21% + 10%, adding up to a 31% total damage increase. Straights cannot be mixed with pairs or other straights. Straights can go from a low value to a high value or vice versa, "7-6-5-4-3" and "3-4-5-6-7" have exactly the same effect. At the start of the game, only one number per Magnus and a small hand make Spirit Combos more difficult. But two numbers per card and then three and eventually four at the end, combined with the increase your hand size and the number of Magnus you can play resulting in higher Spirit Combo bonuses, makes them eventually worth trying at least to play when possible. If you have the means to Spirit Combo well, you'll realize playing 5 cards in a straight for that 45% damage increase, is likely going to deal more damage to the enemy than playing a 6th card and not getting that Spirit Combo damage bonus at all. And it isn't like that 6th card is gone, you can play it on a later turn, in a combo or not. -If only the game bothered to explain this beside two NPCs in the first two dungeon areas optionally telling you without showing you anything. 7 minutes ago, Armagon said: He says, as he pointed the gun first. I think that answers your question about the imperial brainwashing. Seriously? Home again for two minutes and Lyude is treated to this? He is the only sane person in the Empire.

Could you elaborate on this? Cause I've only seen Magnus with one number on them, don't know what you mean by "multiple numbers". 6 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Straights cannot be mixed with pairs or other straights.

I will say my mindset was trying to play straights whenever I could. So I guess I was doing something right. 8 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: think that answers your question about the imperial brainwashing. Seriously?

Mintaka = the Alfard Empire, the Azhani, from Azha, are the slave-workers of the Empire. No point in instilling propaganda into them. 5 minutes ago, Armagon said: Could you elaborate on this? Cause I've only seen Magnus with one number on them, don't know what you mean by "multiple numbers". I find that hard to believe. Common items Magnus do have only 1 number, but weapons and armor started having multiples back in Diadem. Here is a random image I selected from a video I pulled up: See how the Voice and two of the swords have a number in the upper-right and lower-left corners? Using this image, I could play the Short Sword with a 2, then flick the C-Stick down to the lower-left on the sword to left of the Short Sword, then I could play either the wilted flower or the dark sword for a 2-3-4 straight; or a 8-7-6 straight with the dark sword, Voice II and Mineral Water. Or, I could do a 4-4-4 pair with two of the swords and the flower. 11 minutes ago, Armagon said: And I take it there can't be any skips? Like, you can't do "3-4-6-7-8"? No skips! Has to flow perfectly. 6 minutes ago, Armagon said: Ah, so this is the part i've been warned about. Yep, the Goldoba! Good luck, and if it wrecks you, I'll offer you some tips.

Saint Rubenio Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Man, a lot of arguing happened while I was asleep. 7 hours ago, Dayni said: I REMEMBER THAT FUCKING YIKES. Thanks, I might as well not sleep. Ah yeah, that thing. I took it at face value and completely missed the implications at first. I was ignorant, and I'm sorry about that. I'd still argue perhaps it was unintentional, but... yeah. Not cool. TRS has some messed up stuff in it. I'm glad they dialed back on it in Berwick Saga. I mean, there's still rapists in Berwick Saga, but at least you get to kill them there. It's not used for comic relief, thankfully. ...Well, there's also the fact that the only people remotely of color in Berwick Saga are all bandits and rogues. That's... iffy, to say the least.

Lightcosmo Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) AHHHH! I hate FF XIII-2's random battle system so much!! It's irritating when you can't run from an enemy on the map, and when your time runs out and you can't escape the battle! damn, i don't need these randoms, game! I know there's a fragment skill for this, but i don't have it yet! Just... no, this is not fun in any way.
