I'm honestly surprised how easy it is to give kills to Ross, even on Hard difficulty. Not that I would complain, of course. His second level up... he got HP, Strength, and... Resistance. wat? XD And Gilliam keeps missing. Yay! Though he has WTD at the moment, so it's not too surprising. Still... I would hope he'd at least hit something every once in a while. XD And Ross' luck has left him. His third level up is Skill, and only Skill. *sigh* Edited October 2, 2020 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I don't think I'd be getting amazing drops early on. 2 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Maybe it is. You wanted it, and now it wants you. Isn't that the feeling you want when you're stuck a on different planet anyhow? NLA is the sole refuge of all that is hospitable.😄 I wouldn't have it any other way. I will say that now that I'm actually playing it, I can say with absolute confidence that I would not recommend Xenoblade X as an entry point for newcomers to this series. 2 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: And if an enemy drops weapons or armor that say "Busted" and has absolute minimum stats, that means you don't have the Arms Manufacturer to make that stuff not-Busted. I don't think I've gotten any of these yet but it's basically the familiar RPG mechanic of finding a seemingly broken weapon but when you take it to the forge, it becomes good, right? 1 hour ago, DragonFlames said: Though yeah, I do think an SoV-style remake of Sacred Stones, where you play both Ephraim's and Eirika's routes simultaneously, would be nice. They'd have to slightly modify the plot for that to work. Mainly the stuff with Lyon. Unit balance would also need modification. 52 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Ngl i am starting to think the rng in this game is bugged or something I mean >missing an 87 >getting hit by a 12 and 30 right after really now?

DragonFlames Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) That durability thing is honestly one reason I would probably drop Berwick if I played it myself and it happened one too many times in all the wrong moments. I know my luck. It would happen right when I really don't need it. Edited October 2, 2020 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking 1%, 2% chances until red durability, so it's not as common or impactful as you'd think, but it does happen. 1 minute ago, twilitfalchion said: Well, Leon's spear breaking was the reason he got killed in the second sidequest of Ch. 1 last night, so...

I've had enough previous experiences with this kind of stuff that I can safely say that. XD The mere fact that this exists is almost enough reason for me to say "no, thanks", because I know it will happen at the wrong time, and I know it will frustrate me to hell and back. And I'd honestly rather not deal with that. The other being that I can't get the PS2 emulator to work. But I'll stop talking now so as to not ruin anyone's enjoyment or day.

Acacia Sgt Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Eh, hard to dislike Tatsu when Lin becomes the more annoying one in their interactions... But then, I haven't played long enough to see if it's an argument that holds all game long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least starting with Berwick he decided to cut the player some slack with the 5 turn saves. Sure, your weapon might break on green at the worst time, but... Hey, if worse comes to worst, at least you're not redoing the whole map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he added the 5 turns save in because maps take too long XD Even he wouldn'T want the player the player to retry 2 worth of usual maps length at once xD But yeah even cryptic stuff seems less cryptic this time around.
