3:00 PM

But physical boxes are so much better, anyways.

RedRiderX

Well yes a box is always nice

Arperum

@Frank The house I'm going to look at tonight is pricey.

5pike

@RedRiderX I guess they want to get rid of them. Storage is expensive...

RedRiderX

Yeah

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden Nah, I'll think about monthly fees then go play TF2.

RedRiderX

3:01 PM

And maybe they have more leeway to put "physical" stuff on sale rather then muddle with digital rights too.

Frank

@Arperum Yeah, I know. That should come first.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord which is why I was talking to Arperum, you non-minecraft playing heretic

Frank

Also, I bought Lightning Returns, and have ordered the hardcover strategy guide, to sit with my XIII-2 collector's edition strategy guide.

StrixVaria

@Frank Is there a monthly fee?

Frank

2 mins ago, by Frank

@5pike Yes

StrixVaria

3:02 PM

Nope.

5pike

@Frank You poor, poor fool...

Yuki

@Frank STAAAAAAAAAAAAHP, @FRANK, STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHP!

Arperum

@Frank It's actually slightly above my budget, but it looks really good. And maybe I can convince my parents to help some more then already planned >_<

Frank

@Arperum Buying a house is a huge step.

StrixVaria

I'm playing FFIV right now and it's so terribly designed that I keep wanting to just throw it away and play something else.

Frank

3:03 PM

Especially when you get a mortgage for it.

StrixVaria

Just fought a boss fight that I lost because I didn't prepare properly ahead of time (although how could I have known?)

I'll probably win next time by actually knowing what to do beforehand.

Yuki

@StrixVaria Bravely Default?

StrixVaria

@Yuki Not yet. I still have Link Between Worlds and Etrian Odyssey to play before I get there.

Which I already own.

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria This is a big problem with a lot of FF games.

Frank

@StrixVaria The old Final Fantasy games are a throwback to earlier days, where grinding was an expected action.

StrixVaria

3:04 PM

@Frank I don't mind grinding. I'm way overleveled right now.

RedRiderX

Gall darn I've gone insane again.

Frank

@StrixVaria And you still lost? Bleh. Which boss?

I don't recall that being a problem I had.

StrixVaria

Despite being overleveled, the boss is still designed so unfairly that I had no chance on a first try.

Golbez in the underworld.

Arperum

@Frank With mortgage. But half june I have to leave this house and move back in with my parents. I don't look forward to live on their lip for years. And keeping hiring things feels so much like I'm wasting money.

StrixVaria

He summons a dragon that kills 3 of your 4 characters, then Rydia comes back.

Then you have Cecil and Rydia (who doesn't have nearly enough HP to survive for long without constant healing) alive and 3 characters dead. Golbez uses AoE attacks so frequently that if you use a phoenix down or Raise on somebody, they'll die before you get another action.

So you have to specifically time your phoenix down with a high potion to get one character into a state where they might live.

Frank

3:06 PM

@Arperum Yeah, renting is just throwing money down the drain.

I did that for five years.

StrixVaria

My goal next time is to have Cecil hasted and hopefully Golbez slowed so things become slightly manageable.

Arperum

@Frank One year now.

Sterno

Is Bravely Default good?

Yuki

@StrixVaria AoE spam is evil when it happens like that. It does occur in Bravely Default, but the bosses that use that strategy tend to depend on highly on using Brave.

RedRiderX

@Sterno It sounds like a FF game with a turn shifting mechanic.

But I have no real idea

Yuki

3:08 PM

So, you alternate healing and Defaulting on the one character you have left until they attempt multiple AoEs in one turn with Brave.

StrixVaria

@Yuki If I can get my white mage alive, I can probably heal everyone fast enough to offset it.

Frank

@StrixVaria I don't recall having that problem when I got to that part.

Yuki

And then you Phoenix Down/Revive while they're recovering all the BP they spent.

Powerlord

@RedRiderX That sounds like you're describing Radiant Historia.

Frank

So I'm probably useless about how to get past that.

RedRiderX

3:09 PM

@Powerlord Eh it could be

5pike

@StrixVaria From what I dug up - This fight is broken by design. Luck is your only ally.

RedRiderX

I don't really follow jrpgs

StrixVaria

@5pike That's stupid.

Frank

@Yuki No! Game cheap right now! It only costs you a whole month of subscription time, which you get with the game anyways.

5pike

@StrixVaria Yes, it is.

Yuki

3:09 PM

The two bosses I've come across so far that use AoE spam are fairly easy to manage with that strategy.

StrixVaria

@Yuki Yeah but I feel like those battles may be designed around the brave/default mechanic.

FF4 doesn't have any fancy combat stuff.

Yuki

@StrixVaria Most of the battles seem to be.

And it's very nicely done.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria If you have one or more characters petrified beforehand, you can just throw a soft and they'll be at full HP.

StrixVaria

@GraceNote Huh.

Yuki

@GraceNote Can you petrify your own characters?

StrixVaria

3:11 PM

I don't think I can petrify anyone with my current party, though.

Grace Note

Well, "at whatever HP they were turned to stone", to be clear.

Q: Does bonus damage stack?

Monsters can have multiple weak points due to elemental weaknesses and what monster family they belong to. When you exploit these weaknesses, a prompt appears that says "Weak Point!" and you deal bonus damage (usually an increased 50%). However, does this 50% increase in damage stack when you hit...

bravely-default

StrixVaria

I also need to equip a different sword on Cecil because apparently the one that has a petrify effect heals Golbez instead of damaging him.

5pike

@StrixVaria Well, you seem to be on the right track. A guide says to slow golbez and hasten cecil, if possible. The rest is rewive/heal and pray that you make it.

Grace Note

@Yuki I can't remember how I pulled it off but that's what I did on a later playthrough.

StrixVaria

3:12 PM

And I need to make sure Kane is in the front row for the battle since it didn't automatically do that when Cid left.

Yuki

Also, Bravely Default is fairly obvious about when the boss battles are. The only one that's surprised me so far is the Red Mage.

StrixVaria

The most annoying thing, really, is that this is the second boss battle in a sequence, with no chance to heal/save between.

The first battle isn't really an issue, but it takes time.

So I have to go through a long dialogue scene and combat, and dialogue again before re-attempting this battle.

Yuki

@StrixVaria ... I hate boss battle sequences. That's what I've always disliked about the Final Fantasy series.

5pike

Thank god for save-states ...

StrixVaria

actually

My white mage knows Reflect (because I'm way overleveled)...

Jason Berkan

3:14 PM

@StrixVaria The final battle in Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door was like that. Two battles, with a 10 minute unskippable cutscene between them. Ugh.

StrixVaria

I wonder if that would do anything.

Sterno

Repeating cutscenes and dialog before hard boss fights is the worst.

5pike

@StrixVaria Try it, but if it's scripted, you get blasted.

StrixVaria

@Sterno Repeating an easy boss fight before a hard boss fight on top of that is even worse.

SaintWacko

Morning, Bridge

Yuki

3:15 PM

@Sterno You can skip pretty much every cutscene in Bravely Default and re-watch them later through the Encyclopedia.

StrixVaria

Oh, if I do reflect the magic then it would heal Golbez anyway, since any and all elemental damage in this fight heals him.

Yuki

It's great when I have to redo boss fights because someone (usually Ringabel) gets KO'd and misses out on a lot of EXP.

Sterno

I was ready to ignore Bravely Default until Yuki mentioned that it goes horribly dark

Now it sounds interesting

Yuki

@Sterno I'm not sure at this point if it keeps that tone, but that subquest was really f--king dark.

Sterno

I'm unclear whether or not I like the idea that you can play around with the encounter rate

Yuki

3:17 PM

I literally put down my 3DS and stared at it for a few minutes after that cutscene.

Sterno

I can always choose not to use that option, I guess, unless the game's difficulty is designed around the idea that you will.

Yuki

@Sterno Honestly, it's not a bad mechanic.

5pike

@StrixVaria You could try jumping with Kain. If he is in the air at the right time, he won't get picked off.

Yuki

@Sterno So far, doesn't look like it.

Frank

I liked what The World Ends With You did about battle encounters.

You could deliberately delevel yourself to increase the chances of getting rarer items from them.

StrixVaria

3:18 PM

@5pike Ooh, that's a good idea too.

Yuki

Saves time on grinding because you can increase the encounter rate and avoids cheap deaths when you're running back to town because you're low on health after a mid-boss fight or you're hit with Poison and no MP or antidotes.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno Many FF games let you alter encounter rate, usually through abilities

Loved me some enc-none in FF8

5pike

@StrixVaria Want more tips? I have a guide open.

Sterno

@BenBrocka That's different, since it requires resource expenditure.

StrixVaria

@5pike Can you just link the guide? :P

Or...

Yuki

3:19 PM

@BenBrocka I think @Sterno is a little more iffy on the fact that you can change the encounter rate through a slider bar in the config menu.

StrixVaria

Let me ask a question on the main site.

And you can have some rep.

5pike

@StrixVaria Yeah, rep

Sterno

Yeah, from what I understand in Bravely Default, I can overextend myself in a dungeon and then just turn encounters to none to get back out safely

Which is fine as an option. I just wouldn't want the game balanced around that idea.

I prefer having to buy items or use skill points on abilities so that there is a cost to that.

Yuki

@Sterno You also have Teleport Stones to warp you to the beginning of the dungeon, but most JRPGs have those.

@Sterno It doesn't look like the game's balanced around that so far.

Sterno

Well, you convinced me at "children murder each other", so I'll be picking it up at lunch.

3

Yuki

3:21 PM

The only time I've lowered the encounter rate to 0 is when I just want to walk through a dungeon I've grinded in so I can get to the boss or when I'm backtracking to pick up items that I missed.

Sterno

Also I missed some Veronica Mars discussion in here last night and now I'm sad because I was busy watching Veronica Mars while it happened. And I agree with whoever said they liked it but feel like they shouldn't.

@RedRiderX People would have to write a Python module for their world

@BenBrocka That you have a room with no way in or out is further proof that you are a wizard.

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka Yeah, no kidding. The ability to see at a glance which detectors were close to being on low battery would be awesome, and the whole hand wavey thing to silence them when you burn the bacon like a heretic is convenient. The wallet-shattering price is not, however.
