yeah later I guess, ive been to where it is but it hasnt opened up for me. Im only 25 hours in tho

I thought you were ahead of me? Maybe I got you confused with Drinky.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #301 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:54:53 AM »

Awesome, did the thirty-man with repede, he's the top dawg. Got the map nerd achievement by uncovering the whole map. There's some weird infinity or 8 in the northwest oceans next to an island with a building underwater you cant get to. wonder what it means. Im still gathering mats for the fake moustache and pipe for yuri

Im pretty far, just never went back after I left there.

god, this game is huge. i just got to the blade drifts of zopheir, and i STILL haven't gotten the "end of act 2" achievement. geezus!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #303 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:57:12 AM »

well so far at 29 hours its barely a dent in the 80+ hours of persona 3, but it feels like a 40-50'er

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #304 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:57:51 AM »

i'm trending for about 50, it seems

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #305 on:** September 09, 2008, 12:58:42 AM »

I think achievements may keep me going a bit longer, im doing a lot of side crap on the off-chance it gets me an achievement, like the map thing. It was pretty tedious since a lot of the shade is hard to see in the transparent map.

I thought you were ahead of me too. I guess I played it longer than I realized this past weekend. I'm at the same place after playing for 37 hours. I'm gonna try some of the sidequests later on, so I think I'll finish at 60+ hours.

GilloD · « **Reply #307 on:** September 09, 2008, 08:15:59 AM »

I played this for about 5 minutes last night. Holy shit. Forget GoW or Dead Rising, THIS is the HD Game of choice. It's beautiful.

Sidequests

Giganto Bosses that I died many times on

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #311 on:** September 09, 2008, 03:29:49 PM »

ive only found two of the giganto bosses so far.

Vizzys · « **Reply #312 on:** September 09, 2008, 04:57:06 PM »

I beat the one in the cave to the desert, very tough battle imo

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #313 on:** September 09, 2008, 04:59:17 PM »

If you use rita its easy, up in there as melee its probably harder. Once your melee characters get the Taunt skills you can just hang back and spam whatever you want. I did the bug IN the desert (canteens) and one in the cave that looks like some weird turtle.

GilloD · « **Reply #314 on:** September 10, 2008, 12:23:30 AM »

Got a little more time.

Zig or whoever wa hard for a first boss. I just got into the forest, I'm not sure what the "surprise" is yet, but maybe is has to do with the ENORMOUS BEAST IN THE BACKGROUND NO ONE IS DISCUSSING

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #315 on:** September 10, 2008, 12:24:16 AM »

Yeah I cant get to that yet, there's bushes in the way.

cool breeze · « **Reply #316 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:15:25 PM »

Is Raven any good, or should I stick with Karol as my 4th?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #317 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:18:30 PM »

I usually use repede as my 4th for item stealing. Raven is for all intensive purposes a caster. Some fights you can get away with just Yuri tanking but I tend to prefer two melee to cover me as rita and estelle

cool breeze · « **Reply #318 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:20:46 PM »

So I guess sticking with Karol would be a good option. I already have Rita as my main ranged attacker while me and Karol beat the shit out of monsters up close. I had no idea he would be an archer because it seemed like he had a samurai sword in the cutscenes.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #319 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:22:03 PM »

Yeah, Karol isnt bad and becomes a pretty good tank. I switch between him, repede, and judith most of the time. Im trying to get Repede through the 30/60/100 man arena challenges. KILLER FIGHTIN DOG

cool breeze · « **Reply #320 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:27:24 PM »

I don't know who Judith is yet, but if she is a good melee character then she can replace Karol eventually. I hate that he keeps doing his healing hammer techniques when we already healer. I want Flynn in my party.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #321 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:40:47 PM »

I think the AI handles judith pretty well. Most of her attacks focus on arial combos.

cool breeze · « **Reply #322 on:** September 10, 2008, 03:24:47 PM »

I will probably have her replace Karol, but lately Karol has been awesome because he is using a bigass bastard sword.

And which enemies give up Large claws or Tortious shell?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #323 on:** September 10, 2008, 03:34:26 PM »

dont remember, I dont have the guide either. I just collect the random drops from resource points and kills and just synth when I can. USUALLY the stuff you need for a synth is around where you first encounter it.

cool breeze · « **Reply #324 on:** September 10, 2008, 03:41:26 PM »

I'll look around on the field then. I want to give Yuri a white had.

cool breeze · « **Reply #325 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:06:24 PM »

What a waste of money! The hat makes him look like some old pedo.

The hat makes Yuri look like so pimp omg

I GOT NEW 360 CABLES

I just upgraded to s-video!

I just got a Universal S-Video cable from gamestop along with Yakuza 2. It hooks up to ps2, 360, and wii (lol). All I have to say is WOW

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

christ dude, even i have component cables for my wii, and i'm a filthy poor

s-video is pretty uhh haha

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #330 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:37:25 PM »

Make sure if there's anywhere you can go where the camera cant see you, you check out. Usually there is a chest

cool breeze · « **Reply #331 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:44:30 PM »

I have no clue where to find the ink to make the sunglasses, but I want them.

And Judith is awesome.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #332 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:45:46 PM »

there's a beach near the capitol, it has the squids

cool breeze · « **Reply #333 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:51:29 PM »

That is far away. Do I ever need go back there, or should I just spend time and trot down there?

Himu · « **Reply #334 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:52:33 PM »

awesome, maf

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #335 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:52:59 PM »

you'll get back there eventually stuff will open up a bit more travel wise. The beach im talking about is on the bottom of some cliffs, you need to go around till you find the entrance that goes below the cliffs to the beach.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #336 on:** September 10, 2008, 06:03:36 PM »

Rita in overdrive goes 'blah blah blah' on her longer spells lol

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #337 on:** September 10, 2008, 06:16:46 PM »

You can synth a HUGE FUCKING NINJA SCROLL for Rita, its almost half her size hahha

cool breeze · « **Reply #338 on:** September 10, 2008, 06:40:27 PM »

This game is going to drive me crazy with these damn skills. I just bought like 5 weapons I need to now grind for Yuri. I gave up on dealing with my secondary party members and am only keeping the main ones stocked, but it is still so much.

And Yuri is totally awesome. He is the Batman of the Vesperia world (Flynn is Gordon).

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #339 on:** September 10, 2008, 06:57:54 PM »

You could cheat a LITTLE and BUY 300,000 gald from xbl

I was just testing to see how it worked, and it was the most harmless (ie non game breaking) since you blow through that money fast on eq for everyone.

cool breeze · « **Reply #340 on:** September 10, 2008, 07:09:22 PM »

Money isn't my problem. If I needed money, I could always sell shit. It is the fact that I have one great weapon, then a bunch of shit that I have to grind with to get the skills.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #341 on:** September 10, 2008, 07:13:57 PM »

Oh haha, yeah, that just happens over time, I spend a lot of time grinding to learn secondary characters or gather mats

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #342 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:39:53 PM »

whats the cooldown on food?

Beezy · « **Reply #343 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:44:33 PM »

Cooking is the one thing that I never gave a fuck about in Tales games.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #344 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:44:45 PM »

fight once on the field? that seems easy, just fight near the capital right?

cool breeze · « **Reply #345 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:47:51 PM »

I actually forgot about cooking and I suddenly got several dialog moments of the characters talking about how hungry they were before it hit me.

Game is still awesome. I'm just under 18 hours in and still as fresh as it was hours ago.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #346 on:** September 10, 2008, 09:50:01 PM »

oh I see what youre saying, just sleep and cook sleep and cook. Nice thanks!

Can someone clear up secret missions? I thought they were just optional side quests, but the Battle Book makes it sound like they're specific goals in a mandatory mission.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #348 on:** September 11, 2008, 01:34:57 AM »

a lot of them you need to do certain things during boss fights to exploit a weakness n crap.

They are all in boss fights. Normally, if you do what you're supposed to do, there'll be a quick cutscene mid-fight and it will say "Great!". I think the only fight where this doesn't happen is the first one. Besides that, there are about two or three boss fights that don't have secret missions, but all the other ones do.

Aha. I have no idea what I did, but I made the robot fall over.

GilloD · « **Reply #350 on:** September 11, 2008, 09:30:21 AM »

Any party tips? I'm using Yuri, Estelle, Repede and Rita. I kinda wanna swap in the Monster Huntin' guy (Karol?) for Repede, but I just like Repede. Thoughts?

Any tips for the boss at Ethel Hill or whatever? The one with the fucking plants. I've gotten wiped about a dozen times now.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #352 on:** September 12, 2008, 12:57:45 AM »

grind a bit in the forest, stay away from the plants, the strat suggests you get it near them to stun it, but it always did more harm to me than good.

Repede has lots of agility and average attack power. Karol is incredibly slow and has powerful attacks that miss a lot.

Repede & every character in this game>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Karol

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #354 on:** September 12, 2008, 01:47:57 AM »

Karol's useful later in the game since aside from estelle, he's the only one that has heal spells afaik.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #355 on:** September 12, 2008, 01:57:17 AM »

raven has single-target heal called love shot, which i mapped to the right stick and then spam

Yep. Sometimes he uses it a bit too much, but it's more helpful than Karol's healing aid smash. And if you keep using it, he'll eventually start shooting 2-3 arrows instead of just 1.

What the fuck...I find a bunch of octopus enemies on a random sand island, so I go and fight them dozens of times waiting to drop jet black ink, yet they don't. These enemies have an attack where they shoot black ink at you. Where the hell is this jet black ink stuff!
