Also, has anyone seen the cactuar in the academy yet?
Anyone have a download link
This is one of the best FF games ever made.
Imagine FF8.
Now take the atmosphere of FF8, fill it with DESPAIR, and then make the rest of the game actually fun to play, and you have this game.
I dub this game, FF8 2.0, fixed edition.
>>248717537
I'm sold.
I'm so fucking sold.
What platform is this on?
>>248717683
PSP, the current fan translation is played on that, or emulated on PPSSPP with some bugs.
It will be officially re-released in HD everywhere on vita and PS4 if i'm not mistaken.
>>248717214
>Main
Eight, holy shit, this character is fun as fuck.
>Least favorite
Trey, can't stand playing as him.
>Chapter
Chapter 5, I am never using Machina again, the little fucker
>Good setups
I generally run Eight/Rem/Queen, with Nine and Ace in backup. Rem's fun too, and OP as all hell with Don't Die.
>>248717820
Just PS4
>>248717353
Pre-patched and ready to go. Use 6.60 Pro C2 with Inferno driver so it loads properly.

>>248717353
>>248718287
Also note that it works fine on PPSSPP, just use the latest dev build to get rid of the graphical errors
>>248717214
My Crimson Codex on the PSP stopped working, what do?
>>248717214
I'm trying to find him too. Apparently he just appears randomly in the academy, from what I've read on the internet.
>>248718781
What happened exactly? Did you try to use it, and the screen just went black? Same thing happened to me, just reboot
>>248718624
>latest dev build
Is that v0.9.8 or is there something newer?
I've been getting horrible lag during the last several missions for some reason on the emulator. It was running pretty good before this. Any ideas? Only happens during missions for some reason.
>>248717820
So if I have a PSP Go, I could get in on this?
>>248719193
I certainly believe you could.
>>248718979
v0.9.8 is the latest public release build, you can find the dev builds here:
http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html#devbuilds
If you really want to play it on 0.9.8 you can, but you'll just have white/wireframe shadows, and a couple screwed up cutscenes.
>>248719489
Alright, thanks man, I'm a total casual when it comes to emulating.
>>248718953
No it loads, but all the entries are clear, as opposed to before. Doesn't show any monsters, characters, etc.
>>248717214
Found him in the Chocobo Ranch but he fled immediatly and left an item behind (don't remember what but it was Cactuar something)
>>248719813
That's strange, never heard of that happening before. Of course, I'm playing on an emulator, bot sure if I could help you much.
>>248719880
save the item, you need it for a quest during chapter 5, 1st freetime
>>248720265
Well fuck I must have missed it because I'm in chapter 6. I'll keep it for NG+
>>248720509
probably a good idea, as the quest is part of a line used to recruit Naghi, which shouldn't be done until you second playthrough, since you'll miss a scene only viewable in your first playthrough. Go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqRPQz13F4fZdDVtdWdRV2pqWWdyLVViMWxtVklOY2c#gid=51 for more info.
>>248721086
Yeah I heard about those and I'm not completing their requests. They're too high-level anyway.
I always have like 2 days worth of time when I'm done though, I guess they're supposed to be for the combat exercises
>>248721576
same here, but I'm too scared to try one. Until now, anyway, my units are somehow at a level where they could actually take it on, so I'm training them a bit in mock battles, and then moving out.
>>248717214
is it finally translated? also, is it a full translation or are there parts still in japanese?
>>248718112
>fucking Machina
Holy shit, I got so fucking mad playing through that, I couldn't even use him anymore. Banished to the bench. He was fun to pay though, plan on using him more in NG+
>>248721861
>mock battles
You mean the thing inside the arena, right?
I keep getting slowdown on that for whatever reason, anyone else getting that? I'm playing on PPSSPP v0.9.8, and I'm fairly sure it isn't a hardware issue/
>>248721861
I tried one when they were unlocked, there was a couple enemies hidden behind roadblocks in a town.
Their bullets OHKOd my characters and I was doing 0s and 1s to the roadblocks so I got a game over
>>248722872
you mean like when you just start? I get that too, thought I'm also not sure why. If someone could help, that would be great.
>>248723176
right as they unlocked, i checked them out too

Is there no other way to get the ssp without multiplayer?
>>248723530

>>248723619
I found a cheat that Maxes it out, but that's all I could find for alternative methods
>>248723750
you mean the big things wandering around on the world map? yeah, I had the same thoughtAccidentally running into them while on the world map is a terrifying experience.
It just gives you this sense of inescapable dread
>>248724363
You can't escape from battles, can you ?
>>248724487
I don't think so. I wish you could, though. Actually I haven't tested out using a teleport crystal - that might work. But I don't think it would be worth because you'd go all the way back to the academy, and have wasted 6 hours
>>248724363
Yeah I seen the cheat but is there no why to up the rank?
>>248724808
I'm not sure. perhaps because it's all added at once, and not overtime, so it doesn't register the ranking up? like the feathers from boondox in AC:WW
>>248725047
Now I have never used this cheat so I don't no how it works but have you been abal to rank up and get the ssp items with it?
>>248717214
I'm still getting ahold of the controls it probably won't be fun until I get used to them
>>248717214
Anxiously waiting for the PS4 release before I play it, the wait is killing me
I'm in fucking chapter 8,can anyone explain what's going on,also i'm trying to do the path of exposition(the one you can't use physical attacks)and i'm getting wrecked.
>>248725601
I can't rank up my spp, unfortunately, so i don't unlock any of the special spp weapons. I can only buy hi-potions, ethers, black belts, and feather hats
>>248725609
the controls do take some adjusting. What medium are you playing on?
>>248726451
Yeah thats what I hear on this, thanks for the info anyways.
>>248726589
360 controller... i have a psp but i don't know if i'm super sold on using it considering there's afew more hoops to jump through
>>248726778
Not the guy you're talking to but I get frustrated trying to play it on my psp. I fucking hate the CLAW to have to use camera controls and the smaller screen doesn't help when things get action packed.
>>248726778
I see. I'm using a PS2controller, not being able to use the other analog is really strange in this game. While I can bind the arrow key's to the analog 2, it feels really jerky and off. I'd recommend mostly abandoning the arrow keys unless you're outside of combat or a mission, and just relying on lock-on to change the camera.

>>248729901
She's a little like Jack, but instead of attacking fast and having a huge delay afterwards, she has a huge delay before attack but can move right after it lands
>>248730106
>>248722465
>>248718112
what's with all the Machina hate? he might be kind of bland as a character, but he's fun to use
>>248730405
For gameplay he didn't really stuck on me, i guess it's his awkward speed, not being too fast to be awesome and not being too slow to be brutal
As for his character, well, he's a faggot
It also doesn't help that you spend pretty much 2 chapters without touching himHe does looks cool when he poses though
>>248730250
>>248730250
sounds like fun, but not really my playstyle. I'll experiment with her and Jack more on my second playthrough.
>>248729901
Heavy hitter like Jack, but more focus on Charge moves, Stuns, and AOEs.
>Maxed full swing can charge up ten times
Jesus christ. Right now I have her with an AOE Stun and spinning attack. While I'm basically two-shotting everyone with Jack, she's off screen either stunning enemies or mowing them down. And then I have rem as a heal bitch.
I've got almost everybody on equal levels except for like four characters. Everyone is just so fun to use. Jack and Cinque especially though. Dat massive damage.
>>248730805

When I first started playing I was avoiding using her because I thought a whip would be a boring weapon but when I finally used her in battle I saw that her weapon was actually a motherfucking SNAKE SWORD. Too cool. That shit has to be one of the neatest fantasy weapons ever.
>>248733057
Take it back
Who Cater here?
>>248730405
>bland
Relatively, Machina is the only character who gets any sort of development throughout the course of the game.
Also despite how easily exploited he was, most of his bullshit was pretty justified when you think about it.
>>248717214
>>Who's your main
Queen
>>Least favorite character
Cater. She does fill in any role very well and her damage is piss poor. She can't even exploit Break/Kill sights anywhere as good as Trey or King.
>>What chapter you on
Chapter 5. Mainly because I'm using Deuce's auto-leveling right now for 6 characters because I hate mission out on those optional missions. NOT ANYMORE.
>>good setups
I don't know about good but I enjoy roleplaying Queen as the self-less paladin character with that Sigil ability. If only it did more damage...
>Main
Cater
>Least favorite character
Personality wise, Machina, of course. Fight style wise Trey
>Chapter
I'm on 6 right now, I think
>Setups
Well, I usually roll Cater, Queen, and Deuce
>>248735356
>Relatively, Machina is the only character who gets any sort of development throughout the course of the game
And it's terrible. He's the type of character I hate the most, that bases all of their judgment calls and ideals on emotions. Then gets easily manipulated because of it. Every other character is cool in their own way, yet the game would rather focus on Machina's pity party and lashing out against people who don't deserve it. Fuck him for stealing the spotlight.
Eh, it's all Rem's fault anyway, if only she's not such a wallflower, saying 'I'm okay!' like a broken record, just tell him what's wrong and be more assertive to him, Machina wouldn't be such an emo shithead.
>>248717214
>Main
Either Ace or Eight, its kinda hard to choose
>Least favorite
Personality/Plotwise: Machina, every chapter that passes it becomes harder and harder to sympathize with him as he becomes such an asshole. Playstyle: Cinque maybe I just haven't played her enough but I can't enjoy playing her(which is odd since Jack is like my 3rd/4th most active character).
>Chapter
Start of Chapter 7
>Setups?
Running either Ace-Rem-Queen or Eight-Deuce-King depending on who I prefer using ATM
>>248737059
It pisses me off that Ace is basically the only character capable of having more than two moves at a time.
You get so many good abilities, yet can only use two. It's bullshit. I hope they revamp the FUCK out of this game for next gen.
Remember guys, The only time where it's possible to get the airship is at the Chapter 7. Go to the Vail Wastes and make sure you're at least level 37.
>>248737905
I wonder why hasn't anyone made a webum for riding the airship yet. Also, do we get to explore its insides like past games?
I'm on chapter 5 and I've just given up on leveling any other characters besides my main three, I'll be okay, right? I mean, I just can't be assed to level 12 fucking characters, man.
>>248738321
Yes
>>248738321
You should at least have 1-2 backup just in case.
>>248737059
Machina supposedly gets better in the NG+ stuff, what happens to him in the ending is kind of silly although it sort of makes up for everything else.
>>248737606
Huh? What do you mean more than two moves? Do you mean builds because I'm sure theres a lot of variance in builds? Or do you actually mean moves because in that case you can't forget that Eight's Forms(3 of them) have 4 moves each. Honestly I think they balanced the amount of moves you can put based on button inputs possible and keeping in mind you technically control 3 characters at a time.
>>248738321
Suggestions tend to vary but you should be fine with 3 though I recommend having a backup team so maybe level 5-7 characters in total. Also a reminder that Rem and Machina are sometimes unavailable later on.
>>248738237
>Also, do we get to explore its insides like past games?
One time, when you need to activate it.
>>248730805
Machina's great due to Dark Side and Spin Drill being one of the best ways to rape bosses through Stun Sight.
He's a some what technical character.
Don't mind me, just here to save the day.
>>248738979
>ever needing Bahamut Zero to beatCelestia
>>248738979
>>248739102
You can beat the chapter without Bahamut 0. In fact, if you want to do everything you have to do the mission at least 6 times.
Three times where you beat Shinryuu by yourself and three times where you beat it with Bahamut 0.
The three times refer to mission difficulty.
>>248736726
Machina's kind of weak willed character in that the entire game is basically everyone playing on his whole I want to become strong to protect Rem and Suzaku.
Makes things silly whenhe winds up killing Rem by accident and suicides right afterwards
Isn't there a picture of a moogle going "The crystal wills it" floating around somewhere?
>>248739221
>You can beat the chapter without Bahamut 0
That was what I'm saying.
>>248739643
If you want everything you have to fail though.
What is the max level?
>>248740202
99 for enemies its their default level +50
>>248739102
>>248739221
Wait which chapter was this? I remember the boss battle with a Shinryuu but never the option to use Bahamut
>>248739491
>Machina's kind of weak willed character
Which is happen because nobody, especially Rem, would open up to him. Look at the chapter 4, when he asked the team to rest nobody back him up, even Rem herself, which is the one why he actually asked for. If only Rem would just open up to him, he'll treat her as an equal and she can be the chain to link him to the rest of Class Zero and Arecia. So the 'I have no friends in this class' would never in his mind and he can't be used with the Rem talk because he actually knows what's wrong with her.
>>248723750
Just use Jack if you want to pull through with skill.
>abusing items for protect and aura

I was around level 20 when I did my first combat exercises. Took many tries, but eventually beat the first one and it just became easier as I went along.

>>248741559
>but never the option to use Bahamut
All of your character need to die first.
>>248741813
Or you can just pick Ace and sidestep spam Cannon Laser
Nine is also a good choice against some of the harder enemies in the game as well.
>>248741627
Machina is the prime example of what happens when an outsider enters something like Class 0.
I think things could have gone better if it wasn't for the Commandant though because then he wouldn't have to be worrying about the whole I gotta do this or else they'll use Rem.
I got the fucking ttanslated fame and it hangs on the first fucking loading screen. What the fuck? I got pro b 6.20, what am i doing wrong?
>>248742461
This thread is in dire need of a pastebin for questions like this.
Update all the way to OFW 6.60 and slap in CFW 6.60 Pro-C2.
>>248741858
Just to clarify this isChapter 5? If so huh, maybe should have tried that, all I did was reset once my ranged characters(plus Seven) were dead because it was mad hard to kill sight the boss with melee characters. Even got the poison bow from the SO, which is nice.
>>248741627
>>248742357
What about Rem herself though? She seemed to integrate well with the class, and they seemed to care for her as well, especially during chapter 5/6 whenMachina vanished. Also take into account that "Mother" told Class Zero not to get too close to Rem and Machina as while their paths intersected they would have different destinations.
>>248743216
It wasn't really until later on in the game that they started working well with Rem, but by that point Machina was already in full "I dun wanna work with them" mode.
>>248742357
>I think things could have gone better if it wasn't for the Commandant though
While also true, this also happens because he has no one to trust, if you don't notice Rem actually also keeping her distances with him ever since he asked her about her AIDS.
>>248743216
>What about Rem herself though? She seemed to integrate well with the class, and they seemed to care for her as well
Exactly! She could facilitate the gap between Machina and Class Zero, she could be his confidant, she could be someone just for Machina to talk to. But she wouldn't do all that because she's afraid of making machina worry and never speak up to him. She's just a yes girl.
>>248743216
>Just to clarify this isChapter 5?
Yes
HOLY SHIT, SO THAT'S WHAT CALL IN RESERVES DOES. This game just got 50% easier.
>>248745630
Don't tell me you just went solo all this time whenever your teammates died anon.
This fucking bossfight holy fucking shit. Now I know why SE didn't want to bring this game to the west.
Just a heads up to anyone who isn't at chapter 5 yet; level up a ranged character.
>only 12 hours to do what I want
>the town has 10 events to do
Why do they keep doing this?
>>248745769
Yes, yes I did.
>>248746139
>level up a ranged character.
Heh. Just go solo, stay at the opposite end of Shinryuu, use Queen's Energy Combo(don't scatter it) or Ace's Cannon Laser when she started to charge at you, dodge to the side and watch her becomes an easy picking. Repeat as necessary.
>>248746139
I highly doubt anyone competent with a fully functional brain wouldn't level up a range character after seeing that gundam for the first time. That was pretty much a prelude for what to expect.
>>248746139
The boss has 3 attacks Anon, 3 Attacks. One of those attacks leaves them in kill sight, all you have to do is dodge the 2-3 usage of the other two attacks in between it being vulnerable. Fire ball is easy, just dodge left after the first fireball hits, its the lightning balls that are annoying because they impact at close to the same time. Honestly its more tedious(pattern learning and not messing up) than hard. Also Bahamut Zero comes if all your dudes die so theres that.
>>248746718
That fucking Vulvarape mother fucker, after dodging his shit for 3 minutes I finally figured out he wasn't CQC me like a real man.
>>248746603
I can't tell if you're real good or just stupid.
>>248747162
I can't be both?
>>248746853
It has 3 attacks that all one shot you. Plus you get a sweet weapon for Trey if you beat it with the red S.O. so dying isn't really something you want happening. Also, I never said it was hard.
>>248746714
Queen is boring, so fuck that.
>>248746718
Never underestimate the stupidity of humans. And the Qator fight near the start his mecha freezes up. This boss rushes at you fast 1 shotting you.
>>248717214
I like King and Deuce too much to choose, with Queen and Ace only slightly behind.
Cater; Cinque is less useless but she's too cute to dislike with Toyosaki Aki as her VA.
Just downloaded on Saturday and already 55 hours in, this shit is so addicting; on chapter 6 of 3rd playthrough right now, I need to grind a ton and fight 8arm Gilgamesh before I go to 4th+.
DEUCE AND ANYTHING
It does not fucking matter, you can go with shitters or even solo, she is the best character hands down; no-MP heal with passive Protect bonus, very heavy self-aoe up+attack, and most importantly, SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO DO SHIT, all you need to do is tap attack and get her fairy to come out, then run around the enemy in circles and let the little fairy fucker kill everything.
>>248747503
Sure
>>248745769
using reserves is for fags though.
Why does everyone dislike Cater, I don't understand. I'm sure I'm biased because I main her, but I really think she's an awesome character.
>>248747603
>Queen is boring, so fuck that.
Ah, the kind of people that refuse to use a character because of your subjective views and not acknowledging their usefulness. I wonder how your brain works.
>>248732794
Killsight alot
I've been using Magazine Bomb and Endless Waltz. Dunno about Powered Bullet
>He fixes his hair after a kick

>>248748224
She's like Seven but shitty. I've played every character for at least a few hours and the only ones I just can't use are Cinque, Cater and Nine. And Nine at least has Safety Guard, so he's not entirely worthless.

>>248748030
Enjoy not finishing the final dungeon.
>>248747603
Bah sorry for sounding aggressive, the boss fight brings out the worst in me due to how difficult it seems but how easy it actually is. Anyway yes the three attacks can one shot you but they are easy to dodge(minus the thunder balls) and the boss has a massive tell on when its going to use the last attack which if you're ranged you have a lot of time/space to hit the killsight.
>>248748467
>King has a different animation for using quickdraw when weapons are not out
>>248748426
I don't need to use the best possible character because I'm not terrible at video games. If you need to min max to progress thats fine, you're just a terrible gamer.
>>248748472
>Cater
>shitty
Cater is powerful as fuck and easily one of the best characters for killsights.
Anyone else tried Queen with Janus' Glasses? LET HER DIE, she reraises as a yandere split personality. She is in auto-killsight so she gets 1shot, but if you use that form well you can FUCK SHIT UP, her normal attack becomes a reckless rush attack that staggers the shit out of everything, and her special becomes a pseudo-Zantetsuken.
>>248748467
PB is shit, Endless Waltz is godtier because of its critrate, Magazine Bomb is decent. Haven't tried out the counterattack one too much yet so don't know how it does.
>>248748224
How about you give us a reason to like her instead? She has a shitty selection of abilties and her having the lowest attack rating of any character doesn't help her case any better.
Also, despite being a range character she can't make good use of it for break sights or kill sights because her projectile speed is too slow.
>>248748224
There's no such thing as a bad character just one who isn't good for the situation.
However, the problem with Cater is that her skills are on the bad side since most of them are purely ailment inflicting while her best skill is a giant AP glut (You need about 64 AP to max it out).
Kill Sight abuse isn't really all that special because the other ranged characters are good at it and in the case of Trey, Concentrate + MAX Charge tends to hit hard enough that you don't even need to wait for it.
Not calling her shit, but she's kind of outclassed in most aspects by the other ranged.
>>248748689
Playthrough number three and cleared with only King and Queen alive on each side on first, at levels 42 and 39 respectively. GIT GUD
>>248748937
Its all good, bro. Personally I liked the fight, it was tense. Especially if you are going for the red S.O. and have to do it in 5 minutes.
>>248748964
Best for killsights? Cater? That's not King, that's not King at all.
In case you didn't know, if you attack directly after a roll with him, he does a doubleshot that is much faster than his normal attack, you can hit every killshot at any distance easily unless they are moving incredibly fast, and even then, at close-mid range it will still hit every time.
>>248747603
If you intend on fully unlocking the stuff in the shops and/or want all of the magic you're going to have to fail.

>>248749676your entire cast reraises in final battle regardless of status.
>>248749640
Caters bullets home in, which makes it better for killsights on monsters that are mobile. King is only better for distant enemies.
>>248749971
Ace does the homing kill sight better and then he has laser shenanigans.

He never misses closerange ones either though. All the difficult mobs to sight are long range and can fly, sighting things on the ground can be done with no problem, the one exception being Warrior mechs, since they sometimes double-triple rush and can Fury for no fucking reason.
>>248749194
Cater attacks are extremely fast, though, probably one of the fast attacks in the game, besides her charge shot, which is what I'm sure you're talking about. But all you need for that is timing, like everybody else. Also, her low attack doesn't really effect my game much, since her attack rate plus her charge shit finisher makes up for it.
>>248749198
Yeah, you're right about the AP thing and that she doesn't really have a niche. However, I find her skills to be pretty useful, honestly.
Anyway, I was just wondering why you all rated cater so low, is all. At the end of the day, we'll just play the characters we like, eh?
>>248750282
>Queen
>not the best if not one of the best characters in the game
You haven't put much time into the game, have you?
>>248749921But you need to use every character available to beat Cid, if that's not calling reserves, what is?
>My face when I sent my best 3 characters to the Big Bridge in chapter. 5
Welp, time to load.
I barely understand this shit, so, like, when it says "Who do you want to take with you" on the mission, it lets you pick absolutely everyone, but you can only take 3 of those with you as your team. What exactly is even the point of picking that big group or whatever? Do the ones you don't select not get XP or something, or does the XP get divided and smaller groups are preferable for higher levelling of the ones you like so you just abandon the shitty ones, or ... what.
Also what the hell is the difficulty curve, I was doing the attack on that one town with all the coeurls and the part where you have to survive the golem for a set amount of time and most of it was fine and I breezed through it but then suddenly a random post-mission get thrown in against Mecha boss fight like 6 levels above me and practically unhittable by melee? What the hell?
HOLY FUCK I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT
A WORLD MAP IN TRUE HD TO SCALE
>>248750715
Unless they're all your ranged characters you don't need to worry. Chapter 5 is pretty easy if you go ranged.
But it is fucking stupid how they do that when you can just call them back before chapter 6 starts anyway.
>>248750742
For the first question, I think it's for the CALL IN RESERVES function, which lets you pull from that huge pool when people in your 3 man team die.
>>248750742
The reserves are exactly that, you can call on those guys when your party members die.
And just dodge all the mech's attacks and wait for it to crash, smash it rinse and repeat. If you need to grind just keep redoing the mission until you succeed. You can go back to the school at any time and keep all your exp.
>>248750682aren't we talking about Academy Reserves? You are forced to take the entire main cast into the last dungeon, I said King and Queen were the last ones alive because the rest were dead, as they were all in the low 20s so I just used them as fodder.
Final dungeon was a bitch to clear without a guide though, I can't imagine how terrible it was before the translation was out. The worst mission so far for me was the Meroe army battle map, I must have failed that 7 times before I got all the things to work right/killed the warship in time/killed all the turrets in time/pushed back the Helldivers enough to take camp 4 and the enemy base. FUCKING HELLDIVERS.
>>248750570
Her charge attacks are nothing like her normals with actually home in. They massive majority of the time unless the enemy as half the size of the screen. And fastest attack? You're joking at this point as that title belongs to Machina which I honestly did not want to bring up because he's just that much of a faggot. But if we're talking strictly range characters then I'd still prefer to use King and his Endless Waltz to dish out the speed.
Seriously, there's no reason to use Cater if we're talking from a technical stand point as there are characters who can fill in her role only do them much better. She excels at nothing other than her mobility and even at that one could argue that Ace and Rem are better because of the properties of their infinite evasion.
>>248751497
Ace's mobility is second to nobody. Teleport evade has almost 100% iframes and teleport card instantly closes any gaps.
>>248751078
Holy shit that is actually looking really nice.
>>248751497
>Her charge attacks are nothing like her normals which actually home in. And they miss they miss massive majority of the time unless the enemy as half the size of the screen.
Damn I fucked up bad. I'm sleeping. I've done enough leveling for now.
>>248751497
Every character gets infinite evasion at some point you chode.
Anybody else have problems with stuff like picking up items during missions? Sometimes they can't even be targeted even though I'm standing in front of them and it takes a while before I can pick it up. I remember there was a chest in the sewers that I could never get opened
>>248751909
Ace's evade is a unique skill though, it's a short teleport.
>>248751909
Everyone's evasion is different.
Ace, Queen and Rem for instance can just casually waltz out of a death glyph from an SO failure whilest everyone else need to time their unless they have haste on. Surely you noticed Jack's evasion is nothing like everyone else's when it comes to both speed and distance covered, right?
Protip; roll with Cinque and you see her panties, they are dark blue. Lewd.
>>248751497
I don't know what to tell you, friend. When I use Cater, I time the charged shots to hit kill-sights and they rarely miss. I guess because I've played her so much. But yes, I was speaking ranged characters speed. But yeah, dude if you like King better that's cool, you don't have to use Cater. I was just asking earlier what were some of her disadvantages, because I personally couldn't see them. I don't know, I guess I use her as a ranged speedster, I'd say she's pretty good it that.
So what are your favourite battles? I really liked the Qator and the Eidolon shodown in chapter 5And how can someone be so shitty like Machina, jesus fucking christ
>>248750589
Nah it's you; Queen's stats spread at max level, without stats boost, are all at the middle with the exception Lightning magic, which still second best to Rem, her MP will only hit 700 and no AG moves of her give enemy Stun or Stop status. Her personal accessory is also a gimmick one that'll only works on missions while giving negligible defenses to magic attack, unlike the rest of them, like Seven that'll boost defense up to 40 and give auto Regen or Sice that'll make each hit give enemy one of the status effect in the game, including Kill Sight.
She is, by all intent and purposes, an average character.
>>248752610
In a game full of assholes, Machina is the biggest asshole.
>>248751975
Lock on, get close to the chest, and press D-pad up.
>>248752796
Her normal attack's critrate is also incredible. I'm not saying she's the best, but she is above average at the very least. The reason her exclusive is "useless" compared to the others is that you get it essentially for free, whereas all the rest you have to clear 1027 missions per character to get. And you want that God rank SPP accessory? TOO BAD.
>>248752856
Man, he managed to even outshine the Concordian king, when chapter 5 rolled around and he showed his true colors he never left the bench, I only play with the asshole on the missions in the title screen, I also love how his dickery and his whole bullshit about protectiing Rem managed to weird her out and create distance, she opened more to the rest of the team than to him
>>248752357
You can see everyone's panties. Sice's are pink.
Just wrapped up the mission in Chapter 2 and thinking about fluffing up this snowy-haired goddess as my #1. Any tips or shit I should know?
>tfw I try to play it with PPSSPP on my phone and the frames drop
B-but Birth by Sleep and Crisis Core run flawlessly!
I want to play withall female teambecausegrillbut it bugs me that two of the ones who would be my favorite have these sluggish as hell easily avoidable attacks. Like when I try to use the scythe girl she only ever does a vertical downward swing instead of horizontal and the enemy just sidesteps 2 inches and doesn't get hit every time, or the magic gun girl's magic bullets taking fucklong time to hit their target.
Please tell me they eventually get some ability modifier to their default attacks so that they can actually hit shit
>>248753554
Her up+attack is probably the best thing to use; her normal attack is basically an infinite combo too. She's pretty good, and her AP skill that makes a homing blood tornado is pretty useful since it lasts about 10 seconds.
>>248753198
>Her normal attack's critrate is also incredible
That's it, she's a good melee attacker compared to others. When you're not counting AG moves. I guess I can deal with above average, but the best possible? Please.
>>248753554
Learn how to use the down+triangle because when you fight flying enemies she is a beastSpecially the dragon faggot from chapter 5
Also can you defeat Celestia? Or is it only with super mode?
>>248753198
I just said she wasn't the best, what do you want from me ;_;Cross Judge fully upgraded is amazing, and so is Dash, her skills aren't terrible.
>>248753554
She has a great focus on hit-and-run and not getting hit back as Absorb Malice is lost upon getting hit(as in entering hit state not just being damaged). All her normal attacks also involve some movement so take into account that. You're right though Sice is a goddessToo bad her heart belongs to the Captain
>>248753986
>Cross Judge is amazing
I agree with this. Mainly because when left to the AI with any other skill she goes full retard especially with Dash. Holy shit Queen.
>>248753789
I often roll Sice/Rem/Cinque and I tear shit up. Just stick with them until they get some more abilities, and you'll find almost any team is at the very least viable. Sice in particular has some godlike abilities, such as that tornado attack and the one that does that giant red AOE. You can even upgrade it so it gets health drain.
>>248753889
You can beat her. You can beat all but The Darkness of Suzaku, which spawns in a couple missions including the first (briefly). I don't think anything else is unkillable, but some are very strong. Maybe the psycho named Outsider mob that chases you through the sewers.
I wonder if the extra buttons on home console controllers will mean more combat options. Only having two choices is dumb.
>>248754320
Akade or some shit right? He is invencible when he appears, not even stun sight hurt him if I remember correctly
>>248754320
Outsider can be killed. Nimbus can't.
>>248754538
He chases you up til you get on the train. I still haven't figured out where the fuck he came from/what the fuck he was doing, I assume some information will unlock eventually though if I keep clearing everything, the Codex updates for me basically every mission, even ones I've cleared before.
>>248754582
The named Outsider? I forget his name, the guy with the creepy laugh that chases you through multiple maps; I know normal Outsiders can die, the mission to capture Cetme has you take on 2 at once, that sucked ass. And yeah, Nimbus makes sense.
>>248753986
>I just said she wasn't the best
I dunno I thought you're this guy;>>248750589
>her skills aren't terrible
I disagree but I really don't feel like elaborating. Let's just agree to call Queen is not the best and only above average and leave it at that.
>>248754779
I thik its more because he is a l'Cie type-A and at that point in the story they are pretty much untouchable, Celestia was a freak case or jsut to show how they are really stronger than at the beggining
>>248753817
>>248753889
>>248754112
Alright, thanks bros. Probably gonna fuck with Eight and Nine as well, Eight because he's basically gene, and I fucking love dragoons.
>Too bad her heart belongs to the Captain
God dammit.
>>248755125
I think you are referring to two different guys, theres no way the l'Cie is that big under his cloak, and I don't see any reason for him to be lumbering around in the sewers with a huge weapon killing other imperial soldiers trying to get to you when the l'Cie can just teleport and 1shot you.
>>248751489
>aren't we talking about Academy Reserves?
Nah we're talking about the character reserves.
>>248755049
Akkad I think was his name. He can be killed with breaksights though it takes a while on the first playthrough. Only issue I had was when he went berserk. The two outsiders in that mission can actually kill each other for some reason.
>>248754452
I'm hoping for some kind of variation of Dragon Dogma's mapping style. Fucking loved that.
>>248755380
Then, correction, academy reserves are for fags.
>>248755514
That, I agree with.
>>248755371
Different l'Cies have different powers I guess, that guy from Suzaku could basically become a phoenix when flying, Celestia could become a three headed dragon and Nimbus could use laser swords, I absolutely looove how each l'Cie is given a chance to show how powerful they are instead of being treated like trash as they were in XIII
>>248755398

>It will be officially re-released in HD everywhere on vita and PS4 if i'm not mistaken.
no. Not for Vita, just PS4 and Xbone. The graphics improvements aren't just slightly better textures, they're redoing the whole thing in Luminous engine.
>>248756326
The female Byakko right? I remember reading a pyroxene about how all the l'Cie of Genbu banded together to fight her and barely managed to win while losing nearly all their forces
>>248755073
Technically Janus is the best but arguing about the best in TO is pointless since the entire game is about adapting to the situation at hand.
>>248756184
Yeah, this doc is super nice, so hard to catch all the events since time is a factor and locations of some NPCs change based on the clock. Also, good for refreshing S.Os in certain maps trying to get the one you want without missing it.
>>248756658
Most people can't handle never getting hit, 1shot is a turnoff I guess.
>>248717214
so i've heard the character development in this game is pretty meh but how is the plot?
>>248754538
You can beat Akkad its just that its really difficult to do on your first run.
>>248717537
I just fired it up and only had time to play up to the first save point (Bahamut). I am really fucking impressed with what little I've seen. The combat is very Crisis Core-y which is great, and the tone is dark as fuck, which is a nice change from melancholy or adventurous optimism.
I'm already considering swapping the d-pad mapping to the right analog; would this make sense to those of you who've played longer? The lock-on seems not to be limited by camera FOV, so I guess it's not essential, but it's a little annoying having to do some finger gymnastics to hit the d-pad for camera movement with my right hand.
>>248756852
Unless its one of those super aggressive AIs, not getting hard is pretty easy.
>>248757168
I use right analog for d-pad, yes.
>>248757168
>I'm already considering swapping the d-pad mapping to the right analog; would this make sense to those of you who've played longer
of course. mapping the d-pad camera controls to the right analog is pretty much par for the course when emulating PSP games like type-0 or peacewalker.
>>248756658
>Technically Janus is the best
Nah;
>no stats boost
>no magic
>delay before and after using special melee

Pretty much only useful when fighting a ground based bosses on missions as a one up.
>>248757289

>>248757592
The majority of the minibosses/bosses are grounded.
Also, are you really complaining about move delay when that applies to almost every special in the game?
Phantoma absorption is only really important for mages, melee characters only absorb phantoma when you're collecting items or an enemy decides to hover over something that you killed.
>Kill Sight Status
You know, that's only an issue if you're fighting against those super aggressive AIs.
It sounds more like you can't adapt to Janus with your play style than anything.
>>248758334
story is decent, gameplay is great
if you don't like the gameplay, try another character, each one functions differently, in some cases drastically different.
You are walking through your house and a Grand Horn breaks down a wall and touches your waifu's butt, what do you do?
>>248758431
>move delay when that applies to almost every special in the game
When combined with Kill Sight status it is a problem.
Phantoma absorption is only really important for mages
Phantoma absorption is important for everyone because it's the only way you can level up your magics and get stat boost items.
>You know, that's only an issue if you're fighting against those super aggressive AIs
And guess what? Most higher level missions they're all and never staggers. Especially where it takes place in Sohryu.
>>248759172
The only characters who don't have an issue with the Soryu stages are Ace and King.
Oh and you can make everything stagger, its called hitting their break sight.
Is this behemoth cave being fucking serious? I mean, really.
Question, why does Kill Sight appear on enemies seemingly at random? Not the break sight, the one where they turn red and get 1 shot. Is it a debuff I'm giving them somehow? I think I've figured out some of it; Fury seems to always give Kill Sight status when it ends, but it happens in other situations too that I can't explain.
>>248759814
When they turn red its a debuff. When they have the red circle when you're locked on its after specific attacks.
>>248759479
>its called hitting their break sight
Uh huh, while crowded by enemies and and multiple minibosses, having Kill Sight status and the fog weather playing it's part. Trust me, I like the Janus mode too but I would never use as something more than to have some fun with Queen. There are a lot better accessories for Queen than Janus glasses,
>>248760098
I mean the debuff. How do you give them that debuff, I've never seen an item or skill that gives it.
>>248760126
>while crowded by enemies and and multiple minibosses, and the fog weather playing it's part.
You do know that under those conditions, you can count the number of characters who can handle themselves on one hand right?
>>248760152
Some skills can give it out. If they do it's usually in the description. Queen and Trey at the top of my mind. Are we talking about random battles? Because it's completely possible for enemies to start out with that.
>>248760152
After they use the Fury buff they get a cooldown where they are weak, thats what you're probably talking about
>>248718781
>>248756176
In my case it was a plugin Exactly the CWcheats plugin, try turn off that an try again the game
>>248760482
Someone that can use magic for example, which Janus Queen incapable of doing, or maybe not having instant death status. Just stop trying to make Janus Mode better than it really is anon.
