Cool, thanks man. Gonna submit a ticket and see if I can change my unit to Zedus (I foresee many, many Avant friends). And I don't need another Krantz.

Yeah I'd forgotten about status cure, so either Aurelia or Krantz have to stay. Hadaron still necessary for raids, right? No single targets besids that.

Yeah, that's the best 25 gems I've ever seen spent. Mine was...the second best 25 I've seen spent. Btw Dr. Ishad, what do you think the ideal friend unit would be for the preliminary (read: not entirely thought out, but with surface-level coherence) squad outlined above. edit: Libera will...

I've already got a spark lead. Rhoa is amazing, but it'd be like double Raaga - sure, it works, but I always wanted a Raaga/Kira. I think Avant probably still works best, clash with Gazia or no.

As an aside, how the fuck is Avant okay? I mean that guy's insane. Although getting Chrome instead simplifies things for me, as he's Gazia-compatible, as is my Zenia-free party. (Never got that bitch). Not sure what the ideal friend unit is. Haven't had time to level up units or plan party...

Lol, look at Ishad's pulls. He got everything I got + Avant - Chrome + Charla. Only been back for like a week, but from what I gathered he got the best units in the game (minus Zedus) with 25 gems.

Jesus man, grats. And I thought my results were good.

One hell of a rateup. 5 summons: Zergel, Kira, Griff, Libera, Ivris. Bonus unit Chrome Don't even care that I've got like 6 gems left. Still another quest world to complete anyway. I do wish Griff was Avant, though =p

Not a fan of the Xbone but if the sales are as abysmal as suggested, that really sucks. By all accounts I've seen CD made one hell of a game, and it probably wasn't cheap. Not sure what was expected, though, what with its timed exclusivity on a flagging console, a week or two after Call of Duty...

Yeah, I'll give it a try. Beat Xie Jing last night. Annoying as fuck even though I seized the opportunity to cheat with a Gazia friend - took like 8 tries. Decided to attempt Gazia just to see what I was up against and ...wtf, really? First try, wasn't even close. So I came back with no...

Think I fucked up. Forgot to change my desired unit yesterday, so I guess I'm getting another Krantz.

One other thing and then I'll stop spamming the thread unless you specifically ask a question. Dark Souls II has a mechanic that was received uniformly negatively called soul memory. Aside from fantastic levels that nonetheless fail to match the quality of the first game, it's the game's only...

Didn't see the last part of your comment. The souls you get from killing enemies is the game's xp. It's used to level up (need to reach Majula, which is immediately after tutorial zone, and talk to the green lady), upgrade gear and buy things. If you die you lose any unspent souls. Retrieving...

That's the idea behind deprived, yeah. That and the growth of epeen. There's almost always another archetype that has sufficient allocation, though, and it's pretty annoying to start out with nothing.

I'll reiterate that you shouldn't even attempt to raise all the stats you need evenly. You only get 1 per level, and you'll need either STR or DEX (and at least a little of both for the best weapons), INT or faith (or both for hex), and attunement, vigor, endurance, and vitality. Don't even try...

The classes you start with don't really matter unless you go into it knowing very clearly where you'll end up allocating your stats, thereby allowing you to choose the class that starts with lower stats in undesired attributes and a favorable distribution of stats in attributes you plan to pump...

Sorcery/Hexing is incredibly useful for clearing dangerous trash at a distance, but I found it harder to use against the bosses. ymmv. I think spellcasting might have been nerfed at some point, though. My first playthrough was a high-str-rape-you-with-my-mastodon-greatsword build and my Scholar...

DQVIII is indeed awesome, but VII is the one I'm most excited for. Iirc it was released at the very end of the PS1's lifespan and I'd already switched to PC elitism, so I missed it. Now that I'm 30 and old I just play whatever, so a PS1 game on a 3DS is something that excites me just as much...

Bummer D5 didn't click for you. Really, really hoping Dark Souls 2 turns into your new obsession, because if it does you'll sure as hell find it worth your while to grab the first one (get it for PC, ps3 version can be pretty rough and there's no PS4 remaster) and Bloodborne, giving you...

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I only had 4 of the 17 units in the medal rush summon, so I did another pull and got a Nadore. Seems alright - time to stop, though. 3 of 4 were new, Krantz is good, and I don't wanna exhaust gems while the new maps/achievements are giving me a steady flow...

Hmm, just spent my 3 tickets on medal rush summons. Dion, Duran (err, never heard of this guy but seems shitty except for maybe arena) and...Krantz (L). No idea wtf to get for my summon of choice now.

Yeah, he'll die all the time but part of the genius of the game is that an individual death doesn't set you as far back as it does in most games, provided you make it to your corpse before dying again. And provided you aren't poisoned by those dickhead basilisks in DS1. Also not counting...

The games honestly go out of their way to minimizs frustrations that accompany dying in most games. You keep all your gear, you keep all your xp (as long as you reach ypur corpse without dying again), bonfires (respawn points) are well-placed and shortcuts open up. That last point brings me...

Np man. Hope you fall in love with it like a lot of members of this forum. And, I entreat you, give it half a dozen hours becore you give it up in disgust. The Souls gamezs have some of the most robust and authoritative gaming wikis out there, so consult them religiously if needed for item...

I put in a request in for Krantz. Kinda sucks blowing the gift on something as uninteresting as a mitigator but oh well, rip Shera.

I'm not gonna check it against your bulleted list of preferences, butg try Dark Souls. It yanked me forcefully and permanently from MMO addiction. Before Dark Souls and after EQ, I couldn't play anything that wasn't an mmo. Don't let its reputed difficulty dissuade you - I'm not a fan of hard...

Doh, my bad!

Still making my way through Tales of Xillia 2 and my assessment is...interesting. It's a lot more fun than Xillia 1 and from a gameplay perspective it compares favorably to any Tales I've played. But my god what a fucking lazy game. I'd been warned about the prevalence of assets reused from the...

Yeah, fair enough, but I don't think Krantz is as ambiguous a choice for me because I don't have a decent squad anymore to start with. I'm not worried about clashes.

Guessing I should pick Krantz if Shera is still my mitigator? Not that it matters, since I'm assured of pulling whatever unit I pick on my first summon thereafter.

Rofl, definitely casually. Haven't even logged in today! Great game, but I get too frustrated when I take it too seriously.

As a doctor of spooge I'd be somewhat remiss in my duties if I didn't confess to the discovery of an intensity of spooge heretofore unimaginable.

Alright bros, returning casually for lack of better things to do in the gym. No gems to speak of and no units acquired since Bestie's batch. Looks like the last squad I used was Bestie (lead), Aurelia, Shera, Hardon & Dion. Other premier (as of the time I quit a few months ago) units include...

I've had that, Recettear and Fortune Summoners for a while now but haven't gotten around to them. Are they all good? Edit: oops, thought the same developer made all 3. Wikipedia says not.

I did too, but BB is still amazing and my goty.

How the fuck did I forget Bloodborne?

Are you talking about rpg's like The Witcher or Jrpg's? For the former, pretty sure they're all multiplatform, though the PS4 is gonna run them a lot better. If you're talking jrpg's, the difference is simultaneously vast and minimal. The PS4 has a few, the Xbone has none (I think). Future...

That's a disheartening assessment because I love doing postgame stuff in Tales games. I'm holding off on the game until somebody writes a guide with an optimal strategy for postgame. I generally prefer winging that kinda stuff, but the gear system is such a chore I'm gonna wait til someone does...

Np man. I haven't used Salvator myself so let me know how she is - I just found out about her extraction perk. I think she needs to be the leader of the interrogation squad for her perk to activate, but not sure - check up on it. Might consider getting a few more since generics have lost some...

Alright, thanks man. Still not overly effusive about the game but it's definitely gotten better. I remember I'd often do 3-4 missions with only a few white trash drops for loot. Now it's like 4-6 greens per quest, so that's definitely a lot better!
