Ok, what is the best way to grind LEVELS? I'm not having any issue at all grinding GR, and it isn't nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. 4-5 mins to complete BSC and grinding it from the world map makes it so much easier than trying to find a good Georama to idle in. Thing is now I want to get up to level 50 so I can grind BSCII when I get there (probably later tonight)

BSC2 is pretty hard to do solo even if you're level 50. Usually you need minimum of 2 players to have a fair fight against it.
I'm currently using a Paladin sword +8 and earth armor and I'm still getting my arse kicked easily by him. I'm guessing you'll need to have like GR10 or 11 equipment to be able to take him on easily.

Wasn't planning on doing it solo, does it take longer to find a group to do it? I mean right now I have no issue at all finding 3-4 people to do BSC in 2 mins tops, then doing the quest takes another 5. I just wanted to get up near 50 to do more damage and be able to run some of the higher level GR quests to S rank some of those too.klee123 said:

So far I'm pleased I haven't been relying on
for the moment. I'd be prety annoyed right now if I'd leveled them up to
and take away a strong heal/magic character for instance.
Also some of the level design/choices in the game suck. Just done VanHalen Heaven Waste (one fucking awful mess of a dungeon BTW) but not being able to climb up a knee-high height is ridiculous, leaving you to go all the way around, or a gate/door that doesn't let you back through and having to go all the way back around again. Thanks Level5, like that isn't tedious.

not be able to use them

No worries, I mis-spoke, I added you yesterday, you just have to accept. I'll be on tonight, we'll just have to do some grinding on the missions, LOL.

Yeah, just to add I agree with Toki. Boot Camp 2 is good only up to about 40, 45 tops. It would take forever to get to 50, you're probably better off just doing BSC2 until you get to GR9. Don't worry about getting into BSC2 from the world map, you'll be getting into them at least as easily as BSC1's been for you.
What I did was haul ass to GR9 (it's only about 50 BSC2 runs, not horrible). Once you're GR9 you'll have Ring Leader 2 and King of Dragons 2 both available (they might actually be available at GR8, can't remember exactly). RL2 is better for melee, KOD2 is awesome for mages. You'll be getting around 500 XP for each enemy even at level 49, plus way better drops than BC2.

If you'd of asked me this question weeks ago I would have answered Boot Camp II. But now that I am GR9 I know the correct answer to this question is King of Dragons II. On Boot Camp II when you are level 49 you get like 105xp per kill. On King of Dragons II you get like 495xp per kill. It is much faster. Just get to GR9 as soon as you can (doesn't take as long as you think it will) and run KODII. I can go from level 35->50 in like 5 hours running it.

I'm not sure off the top of my head, I just bought two in Albana, I know that. I'll have to double check when I log in.

Just finished it. Rather enjoyable throughout. 2 crappy dungeons (last 2) I thought. CG work was exceptional. Pretty short game from start to finish but of course there's the online portion which I haven't touched yet. Didn't get the make you own town thingy.
I'll give it 7.5/10
What do we reckon the chances of getting the 2nd one?
Can't see this one having done too well unfortunately; bad timing/long wait/no marketing etc.

Okay, I just got the game a few days ago, and I have a question.
I'm around Lv22 with a GR of 5...and in the single player, I just cleared the place under Greede. I've been farming Guild Points in Best Served Cold...what GR should I get to before I stop farming for Guild Points?

Once you hit GR6 all of the version 1 quests will be available as long as you reach the last part of the singlep layer. You're almost always farming for GR points though so if you're not tired of doing it yet keep it up.drtomoe123 said:
When you have residents in your Georama, it effects what items Harry sells there. You'd need to place some rocks and stuff into your Georama and there are chances that some will spawn materials after you go and complete a quest.onisegawa said:

After me saying I would'nt get this because it's too close to FFXIII what do I do? I go and get it.
Anyway, I think I'm getting my head around it. But something's annoying me. Eldore, the beardy bloke who joins you, has a longsword equipped. So I give him a load of longsword skills. But he can't use them because the game tells me he doesn't have a longsword equipped. What? It's there in his hands. It has the little E by it. Fucking hell. Am I missing something or is the game fucked up?

Thanks for the explanation. So the longsword isn't a longsword it's a sword, like the Knife that the girl uses is a sword!! Fucking hell, either there's been some bad translating of the game (which wouldn't surprise me as the dialogue is very rough - although the Japanese language would probably still be as bad) or the developers just couldn't be arsed to explain things better. Personally I think it's for both reasons.Steroyd said:

That said just beat the game and fuuuuuuuuu so0o effing terrible. Thank god the online play is so0o amazing. But man...terrible...terrible...game. cept for online, hahaha.

that one got me too. been trying to revive yulie for 10 minutes and couldn't do it, hehe.
I beat the game just now, enjoyed it a good bit aside from some of the annoying dungeons in the late game. I beat it not knowing it was a sequel and when I saw all these cutscenes start going I was like "Oh wait......dammit" knowing I can't see the end of the story yet :/
I've got a question though: I still have my clear data available. If I load it and save over it again, does it still stay clear data? I wanted to quest with a friend but I'm not sure if I can quest in the later areas if I go into NG+ since I don't have access to the areas. Anyone know?

The last few areas of this game are pretty terrible. I think I am in the last dungeon now
and I really want the game to end so I can go into the online side more.
It's incredibly off putting when you reach a new area and look at the map, I'm sure plenty of people get a kick out the massive areas in this game, But I just wanted to put the controller down and walk away when i reached a new part. At this point in the game the same thing goes for the battles with the bigger enemies, Lately I have ended up just running past them all, As the thought of spending 10 mins fighting one without a Knight was not going to happen. I ended up screwing myself over in the last dungeon by doing this though, You have to kill the big enemies to get through that place.
The game hit it's peak for me around Flanders canyon/Greede Underbelly. The part around the desert town Albana was the point where i was about to put it on the shelf for good.

I agree with a lot of that. Plus Van Heaven Waste was another terribly designed dungeon. Making you go all the way around because the doors were locked from the other side. Didn't help the fact that dungeon was huge and took forever to get about. Also the fact the first 2 doors you encounter are both locked and with a blue light on them (the ones that are open didn't have these on), but the third door has same said light on but is open, causing confusion.
I think the game certainly could have done with more monster varieties. It's not as bad as something like Eternal Sonata but you do get sick of the same monsters.
I think it did fall off a bit at the end because of the dungeons, but I did really enjoy it for the most part and look forward to a hopefully Western release of the sequel.
Edit: I also think the trophies suck in this game. No story ones suck big time, I mean not even one for completing the goddman game. I've put in 25/30 hours and have nothing to show for it

Just finished it and enjoyed it for the most time. The monster variety is my biggest gripe, I mean how many different "small" monsters are there, 5? ...
I give the game a 8/10
I liked the end fights, the music was awesome too. But the game just ends when it gets interesting, i really hope the 2nd one makes it to the west...
The ending cutscene is fucking ridiculous, i mean, YAY we are back in Balandor and are happy. Our enemys are stronger than ever, we have accomplished nothing but saving the princess and the mega-ub0r Sun Knight is going to conquer the world. I am a super duper White Knight and start working for my "dad" again etc.etc.... WHAT where they thinking? ...
Also there is a plothole that concerns me, right at the start of the game when one of the kings counselors talks to the king about letting the "circus" into town, he smirks, revealing he knows that its a trap. But at the end when Cisna sits at the round table with the counselors, he is still there?!? Have i missed something, or do they just look the same?
