Jesus do I need money to even get remotely good gear. Idk why I'm hoarding money since it's gear is all I need. I'm on everyone's chapter 2 and only have 50 grand. Idk if that's a lot or nothing at all at this point.

Just finished Cyrus chapter 2 and I'm fucking loving this game. In my top 3 for the year with God of War and Ni no Kuni 2.
Have to give it that. Utterly beautiful tracks, literally every town I enter.
Not long picked up the game but spent a good amount of time with it yesterday and it's really scratching the JRPG itch I've had for a while. Might go back and play the Bravely games afterwards, if Octopath is anything to go by.
Just finished Cyrus' 1st chapter (having already completed H'aanit/Therion/Ophelia's) and I'm really looking forward to spending a lot more time with this.

I know what you mean. It got a "T" out here.
Primrose is my main character so I was a little surprised that the rest of the game wasn't quite as intense as her story, lol.
I do wonder actually if it hadn't been for sprites would it have slipped by?
Here's an interesting take on the game. I never realized it but the game does foster use of your imagination for certain things more than other JRPGs and feels almost inspired by DnD campaigns (minus the varying races).
Just thought it was an interesting counter point to a certain other youtuber take on the game from someone also not fond of classic JRPG structure.
And the movement while traveling seems off and weird too. Yeah I don't like that at all lol
who are you giving it to?
Seems weird these things are possible in Chaper 1 lol
Probably Therion? Frankly, I'm not knowledgable enough to know who to give it to permanently.
I could use some tips on who to equip it to from some of our veteran players here.
So I finally recruited all 8 characters, geared them up and re-visited every town to do as much stuff as I could. Is now a good time to go for the secondary jobs before continuing with the main stories? My characters are between level 10-20
Also, any advice on how to tackle the game regarding party composition? Do you guys have 3 main characters and swap the 4th one, or do you just swap all of them constantly (my main is Therion)?

Agree entirely. It's why I love the game. Has more in common with early pc dnd inspired games than modern rpgs. I think people expected bioware type interactions, but I prefer this approach by far.
Im also trying to decide between two playstyles:
1. Having two main teams and completing the game with Team A first, then play 2-4 again with Team B.
2. Rotating the character after finishing the chapter.
Your team would be ABCD (A is main). After finishing B's chapter your switch to: ACDE and so on.
Honestly depends on how you set up your characters. Therion skills would do well if the dagger is physical based over elemental damage base
It's physical based but are there any other worthwhile classes that utilizes daggers better?
I am trying to do the same thing so what level was your Olberic to fight that NPC because I can't challenge him at all at level 19
Glad it's not just me; tropical warmth doesn't make me want to sit down and play. Try finding a shady area in your garden for tabletop mode; add a gin based cocktail for maximum relaxation...
I only have the standard 8 and 1 secret job
runelord
yeah I looked up who it was and I tried to fight the old lady for the Staff in the other town but guess the level is required lol
Pretty much all of the segues into Decisive Battle II are the best. Every time it kicks into it, it gives me so much life.
When you're used to not seeing anything drop for a few hours, this somehow becomes the best feeling:
wait are you saying fighting the people that give battletested items only has a chance to drop? If so NOooooOOOOOOoooo
Ether'd that old man...When you're used to not seeing anything drop for a few hours, this somehow becomes the best feeling:
Btw can you only get one of those drops or is it farmable?
2% chance :(
Farmable at 2% drop rate.
I got x100XP for the first time ever, then got x5 XP on the next battle with a summoned Cat. Got something like 12k experience across my 4 characters, pushing Prim and Ophelia up to like level 40 and my 2 level 20 characters straight to level 30. I'd call that a successful grind!
I knew it was rare but I didn't think it was that rare. I guess I'm not farming those guys until I get the advanced jobs.
I'm on her final boss now. Judging by the first three turns, I'm gonna die.
One of the things I'm surprised about playing this game is how much I'm enjoying the cutesy stuff from Tressa that I didn't expect to enjoy.
2% is worst than the 3% steal lol
well unless you can just one shot every time you fight I guess that is not a big deal if you can oneshot them all this means I need to grind up my challenge fighting assholes
time to look for nuts that works for him
ANY LEVEP 70-80 HAVE YOU ONE SHOT OLD MEN IN TOWN?

Holy moly. So got to the Chapter 2 boss for Tressa and I keep dying. Over and over. I just cannot keep up with the damage they dealt. I have Tressa, Cyrus, Ophelia and Olberic right now, and I incite and stonewall don't do much here because of the AoE physical attacks the boss and two minions do. I can't get anywhere here. Do you get skills later on to buff everyone's defense instead of just one by one?
I start off by having Ophelia buff Olberic's defense, then Olberic uses incite and then stonewall, while Tressa and Cyrus try their hardest to break everyone. Unfortunately, the minions must have some high HP because some boosted cross slash and tempest times two (both weak to sword and wind) is not even enough to kill one of the minions.
Fuck. I am stuck. Holy difficulty spike, Batman!

I'll try that. Even with boosting defense on Olberic through his skill and Ophelia's, he is taking too much damage. Tressa is at level 23, and everyone else at 19 and Olberic at 17. Maybe I need to overlevel.
