I'm working towards dual wielding Boomerangs. I think the payoff will be worth it once everything's in place. Imagine...boomerangs everywhere hitting everything and everyone.
I got dual daggers but there seems to be a damage penalty on the second hand. and I'm not even sure it doubles my chances at landing status moves.
For the people that have played before. How much does "reduced exp from weaker enemies" affect the difficulty?
I can't stand Veronica. I put her in the piglet outfit so I can laugh at her until I can remove her from my party.
Veronica is the bestI can't stand Veronica. I put her in the piglet outfit so I can laugh at her until I can remove her from my party.
but I couldn't resist making her wear this ridiculous outfit lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I can't stand Veronica. I put her in the piglet outfit so I can laugh at her until I can remove her from my party.

Veronica is my favorite from the PS4 version - what little I played
Finally beat the boss of kingsbarrow on strong enemies mode. Took me 5 attempts.
The only way to do it ended up being to keep scorched earth on them (erik's pep power) and mostly focus on healing from both characters while it does the work, because usually someone dies if you don't spend all your time healing. Used pep consumables to keep scorched earth up.
So basically that + a bit of luck. Glad that's over, but if fights that stupidly difficult (that require grinding to overlevel, cheesing consumables, luck, and 5 attempts) are a normal thing I don't know if I can keep playing this game. The normal mode is too easy to be interesting so I won't take draconian off.

She's worth a slot especially with how she says "Frizz" sometimes.
Congrats !
Like I said earlier, Somnifer (is it called like that in the English version ?) is a very central move during the begining of the game.
Soon you'll be able to unlock Persecutter which will make a ton of damage if your foe is asleep. It makes most of the battles way easier.
He can get a skill that removes the off hand penalty entirely. It is a mid-late game skill though. I still think dual boomerangs are worth it.
Yeah, I've been going "Frrrrrr-izz" to my cat a lot. Help me.
Whoever thought making it a quest to have 3 specific characters be pepped up at the same time against a specific enemy was a good idea deserves jail time. I think I've leveled up like 4 times in Celestial Sands getting it to happen, even being able to swap out a pep'd up character to wait for the others to sync up is useless if Serena won't fucking ever pep up. Ahhhh.
Okay, done with grinding. Both Eleven and Erik are lvl 10, Erik learned Rubblerouser and Sleeper Hit, everyone got great equipment through forging and my personal motivation is at an all time high. Time to beat the shit out of the boss. If I'm still going to fail, I'll throw the stupid cartirdge out of my apartment, go down and retrieve it, put it in my Switch and turn Draconian off. My ego is going to keep making fun of me for going back to normal mode, but guess I'll have to endure that...
I 'cheated' a bit on a couple of these and used a pep drink thing, you get 5 of them from the free DLC.
It's better to do that type of quests when you have 6 party members.
Haven't used boomerangs at all since I got a full 4 person squad.
Got the boat not long ago and yeah, the game is easy mode right now, even with all Draconian modifiers, so I'm naked and my party randomly can't act.
Honestly I'm like 80% certain those side quests are why they put those items in the game at all.
Do you have battle speed turned to Ultra? Might make the grind a bit more bearable.
Early game leaving them automatic is fine, since it's usually just flat damage attacks. Late game you'll want to do manual since there are setups/debuffs/buffs/heals in addition to attacks, or pep powers for specific enemy types. This doesn't really come too much into effect until act 3 i'd say or if you're playing draconian quest.
Don't be afraid of just using tactics for grinding, it works 90% of the time in non-boss encounters until act 3 i'd say. This game is about relaxing and letting the grind flow through you, lol.

Lol nice. She is gratingI can't stand Veronica. I put her in the piglet outfit so I can laugh at her until I can remove her from my party.
Very tempted to jump back in for the 2D (put probably 150+ hours in on PS4) but decided to jump into Dragon quest 3 instead on switch since I haven't properly played it. Scratching my 2D itch for now but even just looking at this thread and seeing the character sprites fills me with such joy. Love the characters of XI so damn much
Dont feel too bad. I played on Draconian hard and ened up turning it off too. Not that I had a lot of difficulties but because it felt like healing managment before I could even start debuffing and buffing and being able to do set ups. I think once you hit Gallopolis the difficulty is fine on normal.
Veronica is great.
I dont play JRPGs. FFXV was my first one that I completed. I liked it, but this blows it away so far.

Wow, first try and I won. Not sure if I was just lucky, but Sleeper Hit worked like every time.
I'm pretty glad that it went so well this time, but I don't like the fact that grinding was the solution more or less. I'll keep playing with Draconian on for now.
Also, now that I'm done with Kingsbarrow, how long until I reach that notorious difficulty spike boss?

Yeah, I have the fastest speed turned on. Grinding wasn't too time consuming.
More than level, I think Sleeper hit was indeed the key of your win. The game gives you 5 Skill Seed at the begining if you want to avoid grinding too much levels.
you unlock it when you reach a certain point in the game I forget when exactly. But you do so at the statues.
Just got to
And my gosh does the orchestral music really elevate the game and give the story parts so much more emotion. It feels like I'm playing a completely different game then the PS4 version I put 150 hours into. 💕
The part where you meet your grandpa in the past version of cobblestone
There should already be 3 if you download the DLC (For Hero, Veronica and Erik). At least there was for me, not sure if there were any additional requirements for that
Damn, it was cut? I'm in front of Bo right now trying to figure out why it wasn't activating. I was looking forward to those extra seeds....
Huh? There's only one downloadable DLC pack when you buy it for the switch and I got that. It was free
I don't have any pieces of attire to put on in my inventory with a little shine sprite to indicate it alters your appearance. What are the pieces of attire called?
Finished up in Octagonia, I LOVED that arc
I'm honestly obsessed with this game. The world is INCREDIBLE. It's EXACTLY what I dreamed of as a next gen sequel for 8 back in the day. It took FOREVER to get it, but I finally got what I wanted: a gorgeous, diverse world to explore. So many gorgeous vistas, and I LOVE how you've got cute inns in the middle of nowhere, like in 8, to help make this world actually lived in.
I cannot wait to see what happens next. And I've been neglecting the 2D levels since the first one, I need to go and do those but I keep wanting to progress the main story.
though Vince seemed to have gotten off awfully light for sacrificing people to a monster...
