Read the manual after a couple hours, seriously. The game will make a lot more sense. It doesn't explain some pretty basic stuff.

I still have no idea what L + A does
If you've got a decent AOE weapon on your skell just go farm Joker. He's got like 50-60 dudes around him which are easy to kill. If you don't want to do that then wai until night time, go to West NLA gate, and there should be 3-4 level 60 things, and they go down fast with a few g busters.

Huh, Hope has heterochromatic eyes. I never noticed because I fucking hate Hope.
I'll probably post it in the spoiler thread to spare everyone here. DHL says 29th but I doubt it.

A nice fresh thread after just starting this game. Really enjoying it so far, got that RPG gotta do everything itch already.
gives you free exp and items.

I know about her parents. there are lines like "we dreamed of a Skell that can fly through the air, now it's finally here" suggesting that it's something new rather than an improvement, which is why I thought it didn't make much sense.
anyway yes, it works well gameplay-wise.

most people would do Joker
I did the mech base in Oblivia south of FN 305
they spawn at level 58-60 and easy to kill with 2 hits
just kill them one at a time try not to take a whole mob of probes while doing that
and avoid the level 68 tyrant near the area
Nice, thanks.
I didn't even notice this until you pointed it out and level 30 :/
That's going to take a while.

Mia's affinity quest, I think I missed some dialogues
Why did Mia say "dads"?

her mom remarried... might be wrong since i tend to forgot stuff like those
trying to do joker method w/o proper preparation (insectoid augments) is waste of time

Yeah I think maybe story and gameplay conflict here
maybe this was always going to be Lin's contribution but they decided to hold the mechs later and the flight pack another step late too so it kind broke the flow of the story making less sense

Nah, only people that played Bravely Default will get it.
Edit: I should have refreshed
Well if more people continually fall for it, it will live on.

It is part of the story line
You are a BLADE who forgot a lot of things that is why they gave you a Manwell *Manual

what people did not say is they use lots of INSECTOID XX augments to face that dude
I killed him once but it was luck of the RNG with cockpit triggering at the right time
now I think at my level I could kill all of them with one hit

So what's higher priority to level up, biological or archaeological? already maxed out mechanical so don't ask about that
oops I already leveled up biological once! lol oh well

I thought so, sigh. Getting affinity up with characters is definitely a bit of a drag. Any way to speed up the process, or is it just done with doing sidequests and fighting together?

If I'd known how easy it was to grind damn near everything post game I could have saved myself so much grief. Got my last blade level and 3 squad members to 3 affinity hearts in a half hour. Got a bunch of BP and maxed out most of my regularly used arts and skills in 20. It's amazing
With how much of a non-factor the story is, post game is like a better version of the game

You get a special mission once you've finished the game that gives some affinity, but even with that one it's still quite a grind.

I used to worry about heart-to-hearts, but they're so short and inconsequential that they're honestly not worth the time of swapping out squad members or specifically advancing time. Simply not worth the effort.
Also great decision to make squad members ready for a heart to heart not appear in their usual spot while the heart of heart wasn't marked on any hexagon, making them even more of a pain to track down than usual.
Sometimes it's like the game's systems were specifically designed to be frustrating instead of fun. Baffling.
So makes no sense to put stuff like that on shields/beam shields?
Makes everything so much more complicated with the preparation in the menu. ;_;

Just to make sure, these enemy type augments only affect the arts of the weapons they're installed on, right?

No overall damage.

I have not seen evidence that is the way it works if it takes them for shield and armor it will work
I wish someone did a spreadsheet of how they stack and how many is max effectiveness
yeah I do not know if the effect is limited to only the slot you put them in I do know it works just not how
what I do see if I slot allows you to put that augment in I use it
it gives you a list of only the ones you can use for that weapon or armor part and the effects should stack
Please don't tell me you've been playing 10 hours a day for 2-3 weeks straight....

I gave out alot of ether katanas last night. The one that i'm going to stick to for the moment has Stabilizer XV, Ultrafauna Slayer XV, Front Attack Plus XV.
Why does this asshole only ever drop one item at a time

Augments work for all of your damage, not just the weapon equipped to it.
Goes the same for element reflect null augments, element boost augments, cooldown augments, etc.
What I don't know is the rate that they stack, but I got 2 Megafauna XX on my Ares 90 and did 1m damage per shot of the IWin button. I also have 2 cooldown augments, and I'm gonna get 2 more today to see how much quicker my stuff cools down.
Murderess is just so hard to gain affinity. I already have maxed out Elma and Lin before Chapter 5, Doug and Irina before Chapter 7, Gwin and Hope Chapter 8, and just about everybody at 4 hearts before Chapter 11 including Celica but Murderess remains below 3 hearts, and she's already over the level of my main crew. Jeez if only I could give her cash to max out her affinity in an instant lol.

I just got this game and made my way to chapter 3.The combat reminds me of an eastern take on KOTOR for the original Xbox. There really needs to be more games with this style of combat.
Any tips for a newbie?

Something strange happend to me after playing the game for a while now. I installed the data packs and everything was fine but for a few days now it seems that the textures need a lot longer to load and the pop ups are much worse. :/ Somebody who noticed something similar? Should I delete the data packs and install them again?
Btw I installed the data packs on the Wii U itself and not my external hard drive.
