Man this game is so good.

Shame, it's probably the only good PC game worth playing.

It is good, but difficult. There seems to be a set path to do things (i.e. grindan, the order you do sidequests, etc.) and I don't really care for that part of it.

There's so much strategy involved. This game is beyond RPGs of yesteryear.

I just got owned by some giant dragon. I was whittling it down, doing ok, the it blasts me with some Vulcanbreath, taking out two of my unions. I can't revive because I would just get put in Raidlock. Ok, that's fine, I guess... until the dragon uses a move that restores half of its HP back.

I am stuck on that same part. Peeps on GAF suggest that I wait until I get 12 party members instead of 9.

I have 3 unions of 4 people @ BR41

* Rush / Generic / David / Generic - Unique Arts group (Omnistrike / Gae Bolg / Ex Machina)

* Torgal / Generic / Generic / Generic - Meat fodder group; misc. Healing/Revival

* Blocter / Generic / Generic / Pagus - Tank group; Blocter's Cyclone attack is beastly

I'm going to attempt it before the end of the first disc. I got cocky because I did the Validus quest in Baluuk and thought I could take the dragon. Another one I got owned on was the Ancient Dragon.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2009, 09:34:21 PM »

I tried and failed with 3 unions headed by Rush, Blocter, and some guy I hired that had healing spells and I was at BR 37. Got that fucker within 1/8th of health and he casts "Mend II" and his health goes up to 3/4 full :'(

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** January 18, 2009, 09:45:04 PM »

I'm focusing on certain people because they earn Weapon Arts that causes them to deal upwards to 300k to bosses in one attack. Baulson has Heaven's Door, Torgal gets Cerulean Rain / Hawkarang, and Caedmon has one too. All beastly.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #26 on:** January 19, 2009, 12:08:45 PM »

As far as grinding goes, what are you doing? I have heard some mention that you should avoid most normal enemies and focus on certain enemies and bosses. What is your strategy regarding this?

My biggest fear is that I will waste an entire playthrough because I did not grind properly, this is why I am asking

demi · « **Reply #27 on:** January 19, 2009, 12:15:43 PM »

I dunno I'm just playing and doing quests and fighting all the enemies in an area.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #28 on:** January 19, 2009, 12:28:49 PM »

if it's like most of the Romancing Saga games, the level of the enemies depends not on your own stats per se but just on the # of battles you've fought, so you're encouraged to fight tougher battles (which will give you more stat boosts etc.) and avoid easy battles. it's probably not worth obsessing over though.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #29 on:** January 20, 2009, 09:44:05 AM »

Is there a specific way to increase your HP? For some reason Rush has only 550 health at BR46 while all my other leaders have around 800.

demi · « **Reply #30 on:** January 20, 2009, 09:49:30 AM »

Could just be how the individual characters grow. Put another leader in Rush's group to even things out.

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** January 21, 2009, 05:01:28 PM »

DAMN that cutscene with Emmy and the Conquerer

This game is the fucking shit. I love it.

demi · « **Reply #32 on:** January 21, 2009, 06:45:41 PM »

Damn I just -embarassed- The Ancient War quest. Christ.

I went past The Nest of Eagles fight because you get upgraded to 6 leaders / 15 people - making 3 groups of 5, increasing my attack and HP.

I beat it at BR50. So if you are having trouble Kestatophe... try going past Nest of Eagles so you get more people.

Hundred Flowers is BEAST

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #33 on:** January 21, 2009, 07:05:28 PM »

Actually I beat the Ancient War last night after I did some of the quests that unlocked after Heroic Ramparts appeared on my map. I was at BR 48 or 49, and it was relatively easy, though i would not go so far as to say that I "embarrased" the Mantroskylo lol. That's badass though.

demi · « **Reply #34 on:** January 21, 2009, 07:07:51 PM »

I've done like every quest on Disc 1... doing Rainbow Bond now - there's an achievement involved for this one (Ancient Dragon)

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #35 on:** January 21, 2009, 07:22:24 PM »

That's awesome, I am about 24 quests in out of the 42 that are on disc one.

demi · « **Reply #36 on:** January 21, 2009, 07:28:28 PM »

Ok well I take that back... Ancient Dragon didnt even let me try past Turn 3

I got to that dragon from Pagus' Melphina sidequest last night. I only tried it once and was killed after about 10 turns, though I was doing 7000+ damage to him with each of my three unions. Was this guy a problem for you Demi?

nvm, kicked his ass on the second try.

Yeah. I'll beat him. Doing some AR grinding... I'm gonna go for a weapon art (Hawkarang seems likely)

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #56 on:** January 29, 2009, 10:27:34 AM »

I think I found out something neat. During a Loop Chance with Mr.Diggs, I think if you keep pressing the A button it increases/guarantees it working. Because previously it rarely worked but so far like 4 times in a row it's been working. It could also be a big fluke heh.

PC details

Quote

The PC edition of Square Enix's fantasy "RPG for the world" promises to sport enhanced graphics, dependent on how hardcore your rig is -- let's hope that nasty texture pop-in gets tackled -- as well as several new, exclusive features.

Most significant among them are the ability to speed up the game's lengthy battle animations, and the removal of restrictions on leader units -- you'll be able to place as many leader-class characters in your union as you like, which should make the PC version much easier. Other new features will include a visual preview for equipment in menus, as well as bilingual English/Japanese voice tracks.

Square Enix will release a Last Remnant benchmark app on January 30 (in Japan), followed by a demo some time before launch.

The leader thing refers to being allowed to have as many Leaders as you want in RESERVE, not in a Union. That would fucking break the game beyond recognition

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #59 on:** January 29, 2009, 06:03:55 PM »

So you don't have Hawkarang or Cerulean Rain yet Demi? Also, where do I get Platinum Ore? Fucking Dahveed keeps bugging me. I haven't found any yet, and I've visited all the stores up to Melphina, and have yet to come across any.
