his weapon has defense as primary stat so that is okay if ||he can go over 9999|| but investing in might when the other 2 weapon attributes aren't maxed is 
daring portal
brisk apex
his weapon has defense as primary stat so that is okay if ||he can go over 9999|...
Yeah, might is literally the last thing you invest in, after lvl 66
But honestly, you don't really need to min max for anything that's not endgame related even on expert.
amber sedge
tbf might iirc actually does give more attack than low scaling C and potentially even B stats
but not enough to rly matter much
but if there's ever a point to lvling might that is not literally the end of the game then i guess this is it when your weapons scaling are low as shit
amber sedge
i personally still don't think it's worth it compared to agi or luck, especially not with how easy it is to reach dmg cap anyway, but i mean it also doesn't rly matter much lol
daring portal
yeah
brisk apex
tbf might iirc actually does give more attack than low scaling C and potentially...
Might gives less attack power than A scaling and its on par with B scaling. Once you have lvl 33 weapons (S & A scaling), you still want might last to min-max your dmg
Investing into luck or agility at that point unless your wep scales off it is pointless because at that point, you are already approaching close to 4k speed with just pictos
And capping crit is also easy at that point with just pictos
amber sedge
well yes i know, that's why i was specifying low scaling like C and how then might does actually give more attack
but then also pointed out i'd still prefer agility and luck then as at that point pictos don't give you that much yet
but if you just want dmg then sure if there's any point at all when you might want to lvl might outside of literally the endgame, then that would be the point
brisk apex
Yeah, I'll be honest, I didn't care about scaling until lvl 60+
amber sedge
yeah i just checked and at B scaling it gives you 2 attack per point and like every 2 or 3 points it only gives you 1 attack, so again if someone does rly just want more dmg at any cost and invests in might instead, i wouldn't rly say it's the worst thing ever

After some reflection on builds I think luck definitely the play for me
If I didn’t uninstall the game
I was trying to parry everything so I may as well double down on high risk high reward
Erm well i mean luck after a baseline of speed

If you're not good at parrying, just dodge
You're not a streamer

I think his dodge and parry button is broken
I cant watch bro this is some quin tier gameplay

that skill is so bad

luster of all ones too
yo that shit was kinda hard
it took me a while too
like maybe 10 attempts
brisk apex
he wants to build his Verso around the skill that scales with speed diff
Honestly, it's not that bad early game. But the problem is that it gets worse as you lvl, not better.
Because even when you're reaching 3-4k speed, even with Rush, a lot of bosses will still have more speed than you which is why you need first strike
raven charm
even if you reach the cap (double the enemy speed)
it's still less dmg
that over 10 skills of verso
that's how bad it is
brisk apex
Follow Up is one of those skills that is good but not until you have everything you need to make the machine gun build work.
Realistically, Phantom Stars is what you should rush before anything else
raven charm
stars is better but there's still a bunch of Verso skills that are stronger
like berserk slash
which is one of his highest dmg skills and you can fulfill the requirement from turn 1
brisk apex
Both on expert ng and ng+, phantom stars is primarily what I used to great effect. It's practically all I used for the solo run except for light immune enemies (which is just Clair, iirc). There really aren't that many skills that are better.
Outside the fact that berserk slash costs considerably less ap, I didn't see it doing significantly more damage than either follow up nor steeled strike on the low life build
brisk apex
Is the base damage on it that bad? Because again, anecdotally, it did not do considerably more damage than steeled strike nor follow up
raven charm
if you use full hp berserk slash is like the worst skill on his kit
brisk apex
🤦🏾♂️ Again, it was a low life build. Survivor + Auto Death.
Obviously I'm not using it on full hp
raven charm
I was answering the base dmg question
brisk apex
Because sure, a 1500% (if that's accurate) is a lot
raven charm
maybe you didn't use on the same rank
brisk apex
But in practice, it didn't feel that way
brisk apex
maybe you didn't use on the same rank
When I'm talking about comparisons, these were all done at S rank
It doesn't take very long to get to S rank with free aim shots
I guess "medium damage" really is accurate when just talking about berserk slash's base damage
raven charm
also steeled strike and follow up maxed are stronger, you're looking the damage multi instead of "srankmax"
brisk apex
Ah. I was only looking at the notes, tbh
raven charm
I guess "medium damage" really is accurate when just talking about berserk slash...
description calls it low dmg
brisk apex
I didn't think End Bringer did more damage than Steeled Strike but I had so few opportunities to use it on enemies that actually mattered, ||like Simon||
Maybe I should ||tag team Verso with Monoco since Monoco can guaranteed stun every enemy in the game||
Steeled Strike also just looks cooler but they're both bad ass moves.

I think focusing on gameplay balance is not that important in a single player game

In fact I would argue most people did not even "fight" him correctly

it is important

the problem enemies dont have defence defense break literally just add more 25% more damage

amber sedge
I always bitch when it's low
hey more power to you if you're being consistent about it, but then you also have to admit that you've probably seen it a looooot more about this game than something like metaphor
brisk apex
I always bitch when it's low
I mean, you can bitch til the cows come home but there's no point. Game balance is not that important and jrpg devs at large agree. This doesn't diminish the enjoyment for the overwhelming majority of jrpg players because difficulty is not the main appeal
Do I enjoy a challenge? Personally, sure
But it's not a requirement
buoyant lynx
If you didn't parry only while blindfolded and the game is muted with no pictos equipped at level 1 with level 1 weapons i don't wanna hear shit
tame horizon
having played rpgs that force you to deal with its difficulty and ones that let you set it yourself I vastly prefer the ones that put effort into the balancing and made you work for it
brisk apex
Especially once I'm in the endgame
tame horizon
but at the end of the day for this one its not that big of a deal, I can just take the passive off
smoky sedge
No hit runs when
buoyant lynx
No hit runs when
They already exist
ongbal has like a 40 minute video of him killing the last boss with parry only
smoky sedge
The entire game no hit?
amber sedge
sure i would prefer a much more balanced game too obviously, i'm definitely not arguing against that. i'm one of the many ppl that would absolutely love if pokemon was balanced remotely decent so you can have fun in its single player. but i mean that's just not rly the case in most jrpgs i can think of
raven charm
then don't make 2 difficulties below expert if even expert is 
endgame
buoyant lynx
I would agree that the idea of superbosses becomes redudant
if you are quad killing them
in a single skill
they aren't super bosses at that point
amber sedge
and at least as strawberry said, it is rly easy to fix it yourself, just unequip painted power, on the other hand making pokemon remotely balanced requires so much fucking work 
tame horizon
i mean in final fantasy I can't think of many games where you could very easily break it when fighting the superbosses which it seems you can do in this game

A lot of casual ass gamers struggle on expert. You'd be shocked how many people I know who play bg3 on balanced and explorer because they find tactician hard even though I think the game at large is a cakewalk

No, it does not
It's literally the easiest crpg
amber sedge
that being said if painted power rly was limited to 99999 i think ||simon's|| clear rate would be significantly lower than basically any souls game boss
and i don't rly think that is something they wanted either
buoyant lynx
yeah that's why it would be based
i mean if you took the internet away it would be the same
most people killing simon are just looking up builds
so then the argument becomes 'if you didn't look up a build could youd o it"
but people just look up builds for everything
amber sedge
i'll have you know i came up with my oneshot builds myself
buoyant lynx
i think that's why a lot of people dont really enjoy games anymore
they aren't really playing them
amber sedge
i mean it's rly easy after all as you said before so not that big of an accomplishment
buoyant lynx
they're just copying what someone else did
hoary plover
ngl after you get his long combo its pretty much easy now its like malenia situation
buoyant lynx
malenia was dog
brisk apex
i mean if you took the internet away it would be the same
I dunno if I agree with this. It only takes using ||gommage|| once without set up to realize it's broken
amber sedge
i thought malenia was a badly designed boss even if i did enjoy fighting her
brisk apex
From there, you just properly set it up
buoyant lynx
I would agree malenia is straight up bad design
amber sedge
but having an entire fight centered around essentially 1 move is what i consider to be bad design
raven charm
that being said if painted power rly was limited to 99999 i think ||simon's|| cl...
if the limit was 99k devs wouldn't give him so much dmg per hit and the moveset would be easier to parry

90% of her fight is a joke
you win or lose based on a single move that she may, or may not spam
hoary plover
empowering parry pretty much op for|| simon||
amber sedge
if the limit was 99k devs wouldn't give him so much dmg per hit and the moveset ...
that's true the balance would probably be completely different if they had developed the game with that 99999 limit in mind
but then we're entering shoulda coulda woulda territory and it becomes a lot iffier
buoyant lynx
Yeah i mean if this is the most contentious thing in the game
they did pretty will
since it doesn't really matter
amber sedge
i honestly think the mosnt contentious thing is actually the parry itself in the wider scope of things
buoyant lynx
Even if simon with the best minmax build took 30 minutes
it would still be contentious
amber sedge
cuz it's basically the normal jrpg andy vs the parry andy

The damage limit in ff x is 100k. All that happened is multihit machines like Wakka & Anima were king. That game wasn't balanced either.

where plenty of jrpg fans don't actually like the parry itself or what it means for the combat system
buoyant lynx
I don't really think parry is that meaningful outside of a1/early a2
your damage quickly outpaces what parry can do
outside of ap regeneration
amber sedge
i think it's pretty relevant for the entirety of act 2 still, for the record i said parry ,but i did mean to include dodge in it too as it's the same concept except more lenient

where the bard "plays" the fight fo ryou again

atriax is definitely no longer allowed to criticize the gooners
Well, according to him, it just can't be a high-school setting. But even p5r has multiple mature options like Kawakami & Takemi
stable spear
and then I end up dating her husband more than her in our polycule
brisk apex
Who are the best anyway
hoary plover
adults are hot
buoyant lynx
imagine trying to moan "kawakami" when you're nutting

Well, according to him, it just can't be a high-school setting. But even p5r has...
i don't mind high school setting where it's students dating other students, i do think it's ironic that they let you date kawakami though
tbf her name is sadayo so you'd be calling her that

like when girls shit on dudes for having generic/bad names
hoary plover
i really like the conversations they had in the camp especially with lune and sciel
amber sedge
esquie's conversations 
we gotta talk again about how esquie is the best character in the game
buoyant lynx
stable spear
I'm feeling whoo right now..
buoyant lynx
time for a swim!
amber sedge
any whees to balance out the whoos?
buoyant lynx
his voicelines are so well done
hoary plover
that was sweet when ||esquie saved sciel||
buoyant lynx
perfect tempo/pacing and inflection
hoary plover
🥹
amber sedge
that was sweet when ||esquie saved sciel||
yeah that was a pretty cool moment to add
buoyant lynx
Everyones voice acting was really well done but his is literally perfect
brisk apex
I think gestrals as a whole are pretty funny
hoary plover
i forgot who made the gestrals ?
amber sedge
||Verso||
buoyant lynx
verso did
amber sedge
i kinda wish the grandis were more touched upon
hoary plover
oh ok
buoyant lynx
you also find out long before they tell you that noco is actually the OG
and not monoco
since the dog is the third monoco
hoary plover
and monoco the small one
smoky sedge
Someone had a nice theorie on gestrals
buoyant lynx
I've played some pretty good games in the past few years
hoary plover
also ||while in their conversations monoco says noco have been taking care of him since he was small ||
buoyant lynx
but none of them have really brought me the joy this one did
hoary plover
the acting with no dialogue is good too
amber sedge
yeah i mentioned it before that the ||gestrals being reborn with most of their memory missing is just getting a new pet. acts the same, looks the same, but is not the same||
smoky sedge
||They are literally paint brushes and the colors are their identity so if they are reborn their colors get washed off and they get a new personality||
amber sedge
so that's a rly nice touch as well
smoky sedge
Sacred waters and shit
amber sedge
sure is a nice game huh
buoyant lynx
Don't worry though guys game is overhyped and nobody will be talking about it in a month
hoary plover
will shit on it after 6 months also
amber sedge
6 months from now i'll hopefully be hugging my esquie plushie
smoky sedge
Where is the other one 
buoyant lynx
I am francois
buoyant lynx
You know what actually makes me happy? The lack of "epic" sounding stuff in the soundtrack
so many gaems now all just use very similar giga bass/drum "epic" style music and it all sounds so generic
just a bunch of two steps from hell ripoff sounding shit
amber sedge
tbh i think that's just another consequence of them basically making a jrpg
buoyant lynx
d3/d4 have this problem
amber sedge
cuz the epic style music i feel is mostly a western thing
buoyant lynx
which is amazing since d1/d2 have some of ht emost memorable music
hoary plover
actually using electric guitar on majority of the songs are nice
buoyant lynx
when that dude starts shredding on guitar in a3
and some of the renoir fights
holy it's so good
it's like halo 2 theme with steve vai
amber sedge
wouldn't be shocked if he poured everything he had into this one game and this is his peak, but imagine if his next game is even better
hoary plover

amber sedge
i clicked the link though, and i agree it's nice
hoary plover
its the ancient sanctuary battle theme

i think my favourite songs are all songs with vocals though
hoary plover
on 0:34
amber sedge
alicia, aux lendemains non ecrits, lumiere, robe de jour etc

my fucking game crashed ||right when i was about to beat up clea||

Break Point is a balanced skill

hoary plover
oh max relationship with monoco first
stable spear
oop

i did the ||thing with reviving noco but i never went back to camp||
💀
hoary plover
yeah do that
brisk apex
@stable spear ||Since you like using Monoco, I'd definitely recommend running Lune + Monoco to spam his lvl 3. 3rd pick can be Sciel to boost Monoco further or Verso to keep bosses permanently stunned with End Bringer||
smoky sedge
||noco 
his entrance at flying waters was nice||
hoary plover
eyy
lethal topaz
is he overlevelling for final boss?

Is it the long combo?
brisk apex
something to do with Curse timer
Impossible to die to that unless you do no damage
But well...
buoyant lynx
You can also just die and revive and it gets cleared
buoyant lynx
I didn't watch but lemme guess: throw?
He has 1 on his curse timer. He uses his free "turn" to attack and verso goes again then cries that, that wasn't a turn
because verso gets to go again
just a moron being retarded
I'm sure he killed it with reserve regardless
brisk apex
He has 1 on his curse timer. He uses his free "turn" to attack and verso goes ag...
...but the weapon literally says it's a turn.
I'm glad there's no achievement for using the reserve party because I legit never used it
Not even outta curiosity
stable spear
Is it the long combo?
the speed of light one
hoary plover
You can do this 
the first 4 attacks are slow

i dont get why there isnt gradient expedition counter
stable spear
it'd be too peak
buoyant lynx
Nothing will beat Gustave gun shooting counter

i dont get why there isnt gradient expedition counter
There's no enemy gradient attack that's AoE, I guess.
Maybe in dlc, even though I don't want dlc for this game

renoir had 2 the lion and the chroma attack
I thought the lion gradient was single target. 
Admittedly, I don't remember

It's aoe
I know because I got wiped on it several times
idk what dictates who counters but he's not the only aoe gradient either

missing so much info that comes from sides
what did he skip

im guessing alot of clea stuff

what did he skip
almost everything
buoyant lynx
he didn't do anyt side content
raven charm
didn't even do the side quest areas
lethal topaz
ahh
gaunt viper
lavish tangle
looooool
buoyant lynx
not that side content would've changed my decision
he's gonna go with maelle probably
lethal topaz
well the choice will be interesting nonetheless
buoyant lynx
since he doesn't want to kill versos soul
lethal topaz
he's gonna go with maelle probably
thats what i did
im thinking the exact same way he is
raven charm
not that side content would've changed my decision
he will think the fragments of verso soul wants the painting destroyed
smoky sedge
I think it says expedition failed
raven charm
since he didn't do the sides where fragments clearly tell you they want the paint to stay
smoky sedge
and you do it again
