I hope this game does well. It's fun and j want a deeper sequel
Do we know how well it did in Japan?Yup I hope it sold well enough to get a sequel!
So much that can be built upon here!
I had a ghost, cactuar, and centorean team earlier myself. Yeah cactuar casting haste at the beginning of every room is really helpful.I've been running with a Mandragora (heals and does a decent wind attack) since I unlocked monster recruiting. Centaurion was nice but too big so I switched him for a Cactuar. Now I get haste every time I enter a new area and it seems to hold its own considering how far behind on level it is.

Is there anywhere in the game to see how you are progressing towards a job's mastery? I have all my exclusive monk gear so I'm playing around with a machinist for a while. Is there any way to see how long it will be before the Machinist mastery quest shows up?

Have 5* quests unlocked. After that, it should be run 10 quests.
For the record, you can free roam -> return to town to get the 10 quest completions quickly.
Go to your License, View License, then page over to where it shows which weapons you've used, and hit Y to switch to the page that shows how often you've used each job. You need to have done 10 quests with a job to unlock the mastery quest.
I managed to recreate my character from PSO so that was nice. I wish the camera was closer so that I could see my character though. It's pulled back too far.
Cool, I unlocked Paladin!
Seems like a decent upgrade from knight-
You get the Cover skill rather than attracting malice as a zero-cost class ability, which is essentially an upgraded Deflect, allowing you to block all attacks on allies and yourself in a small area. The only downside is that, unlike Deflect, Cover doesn't synergise with Blood Sword for that sweet, increased health-regaining counter.
I think I'll stick with Deflect when playing solo but use Cover online if I ever get around to it.
Your spirit stat is higher, making you better at healing.
Inate passive ability is that you are less vulnerable to status effects due to your holy aura, that's a great skill.
You need to get him under 5% health.Does anyone have any tips for capturing eidelons?
I've fought and tried to "encase" Ramuh like six times and it never seems to give me the option when I bring up my CS menu no matter how close to dead he is.
>Spends 2 days grinding Odin for the awesome shield.
>Finally gets the shield.
>None of the jobs I use can equip this shield.
Fuuuuuuuu. I wish they were a little more obvious about what you can and can't use.

Only if you have to have everything min/maxed with specific upgrades and at maximum level though, and even then you'll gradually get what you want just by playing the game. Most abilities have several upgrades that seem pretty cool to me.I'm discovering that the challenge of this game is getting the mutations you want. Unless you memorize all these damn things, you have to have a tab open or a sheet printed to know that "Eye of Medusa" grants Front Attack or "Agony" grants M-Def -. Also, you have to run a mission 16 times at a minimum to build a skill the way you want it. Makes designing and building new abilities somewhat cumbersome.

I believe shields with the round icon are regular shields usable my most classes, and the ones with the other icon are pavises, only usable by a couple classes.
Ah, I see. Yeah, I'd love to see the percentage chance of those abilities kicking in, it doesn't seem worth it compared to stuff with constant effects.It's more that I don't want my Desperado9 to have something dumb on it, ha. I also don't like that Haste 1 and Haste 5 or whatever seems to have no real change. I'd love to know the percentage of abilities proc'ing.
Does resonance need to be above some certain threshold for encase to show up? I was trying with between 150-175 I think and never see the option.You need to get him under 5% health.
If you aren't getting the option to encase, stop attacking him, and spam your support abilities until you get another crystal surge, that should re-roll the options and give you encase. Use an ether if necessary to restore resonance points so you can keep spamming heals/buffs until it happens.
Only use encase when he has stopped moving, otherwise you might waste it, it's range isn't huge.
A support ability needs to affect you or an ally to count. If you don't take many support abilities usually (maybe you rely on items more) it might be worth setting up a loadout just for encasing. I've even got loadouts with kit saved for specific eidolons now, to resist their specific powers!
Hmm,unsure about the number.Does resonance need to be above some certain threshold for encase to show up? I was trying with between 150-175 I think and never see the option.
What are some support abilities I can assign to a Knight?
Just unlocked Paladin but I'm sticking with Ninja until I hit Samurai. I'm a death-machine when I have AP but a real glass cannon when my dodge abilities are down.
Unlocking Samurai is going to kill me, though. Running out of things I can reliably get mats for.
What armor type do you use as a ninja? Or do every tank class use heavy. Ninjas dont look like ninjas with heavy armor and is reasin why I don't use the class.
Picking this game up today after work. Me and a couple of friends decided to buy it together and give the multiplayer a shot. Any beginner tips/things I should know before starting?
Yeah, the round ones (Bucklers) are used by everyone that doesn't have a 2-handed Weapon. I had just assumed that since Dragoon's special armor is the Heavy type, that I'd be able to use the big shields.
Speaking of, trying to get the full Dragoon armor set. It's taking a while. Blue Dragon just does not want to give me that purple drop (Icedrake Talon).
Last I heard?
Not too great.....
So no idea really
The game sold well in Japan. It sold close to 300k units.
Yeah, you can tell the developer gave it their all with the tiny budget they had.Yup I hope it sold well enough to get a sequel!

I said the exact same thing re. Freedom Wars earlier, it's got real potential and some fresh ideas.Yeah, you can tell the developer gave it their all with the tiny budget they had.
It kinda reminds me of Freedom Wars. It's super unrefined and clunky but you can feel the game is onto something und could be built into something great.

I beat the game and have every weapon unlocked except for scythe. How do I unlock scythes? The only reason I even bothered with the drk class was just for the scythe and I don't even have access to the weapon. That weapon better be the best melee weapon since the class it was made for can't even use it until I don't know when. I killed r5 diablos a ton already.
Don't worry too much about shields. I've found that even as a class that can use a Pavise, once you've done your mastery quest, dual-wielding is so much better than the meagre defensive bonuses offered by a shield.Yeah, the round ones (Bucklers) are used by everyone that doesn't have a 2-handed Weapon.
