i fucking hate this board

grinding is fine, just make sure to do it efficiently by chaining as much enemies as possible or fighting really hard enemies.
there's no point in using the free fodder characters in your unions, fill your unions with guild members and uniques.
Remember to keep multiple saves so you don't get fucked during the 3-bosses in a row section at the aqueducts.

>>383640730
The fuck kind of response did you expect with a stupid question like that?

>>383640765
What escapes me is how power progression works. Are some characters better at certain roles than others? I know the frog should heal, right? What about MC? Formations?

chain encounters as much as possible
other than that it's not a hard game just play faggot

>>383640548
Don't over-level, use strategy.

>>383640548
What is shiesty? WHAT IS IT?
TELL ME!
WHAT DOES IT MEEEEAAAN?!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


I love you.But actually, the game is pretty good. DO NOT GRIND. It makes your Game harder up to the point it's unbeatable when early.

>>383640817
I was hoping someone would tell me about the mechanics of the game, or some tips. How to play.

>>383640960
Keep your fucking voice down.

>>383640765
Should I be able to take on most rare monsters as I find them, progression-wise?

>>383640963
>I was hoping someone would tell me about the mechanics of the game
Read the wiki.

>How to play
Read the manual.

>some tips
*tips fedora*

>>383640963
The wiki will get you farther than 4chan will. Most of the mechanics are hidden. You can still beat the game even if you make a shitload of mistakes. People bitch about it because they want CERTAIN characters to have CERTAIN abilities but didn't know how to make that happen before it was too late. They completely ignore the fact that you can make a roster out of literal who generic nobodies and customize them to be just as powerful.

>>383640548
Get Baulson, keep Baulson. Only look at the UI, what happens on the screen means nothing. Have Jap voices.

And yes really, look at a walkthrough. This is one of "those" Jap games. At least what level range you need to be.

Every thread

Live and die by the wiki.

Also the no grinding meme should stop if we're talking about the PC version.

>>383641290
Did they change it on the PC Version?

>>383641239
Again, that doesn't really apply to the PC version.

>>383641365
PC version is way better. Check the wiki for all the changes if you are really interested.

The bug that everyone is so terrified of was from the original XBOX version of the game, only on that platform, and only at launch. It has since been fixed so nobody who plays it ever experiences it. People think it still exists because they're terrible at the game and just spam the same shit during battle without thinking.

>>383640548

Don't grind.

Man creates his own SaGa

Your characters get better at what they do, basically. If you have a formation of guys who just throw magic, they'll develop their magic abilities, and the same for physical attacks. The difference is that not every character can become good at every kind of magic, what they will be able to unlock is already predetermined (hidden by the game). There is also "item arts", it's a skill you use to use consumables, your troops will learn new ways to use herbs by healing their squad. It's good to try and use units that can use this until they learn to use the "resurrect" herb because I think the resurrect magic is quite far into the game.
If you use a lot of normal attacks, your non-MC units will get stronger weapons.

You can only equip the main character, rush with equipment. Depending on what weapons you give him and what style (swords for example, can be used 1-handed with an empty offhand, two handed, dualwielded or sword&board) you will learn new attacks.

Formations are pretty meh, you find them spread out throughout the game in chests, by npcs, by finishing sidequest etc. Just choose an appropriate one that gives you good defense/offense in the beginning. Later on in the lategame you can learn some formations that give significant bonuses.

To make your doods become stronger, you need to fight strong enemies, relative to your level. The stronger the enemies are that you defeat, the higher chance your units gain points in stats. Unfortunately you also level up your army level (battle rank) by defeating enemies. There are various guides out there, but basically it's good to either fight strong enemies, or lots of small ones by chaining them.

When you're able, it's good to sort and focus each of your formations into doing something specific, like one group that focuses on weapon arts, another on mystic etc. because you order entire unions with one command. This way all units in that group will gain exp. with the right attack/skill and damage more

How do I upgrade my party member's weapons?

>>383641845
they will ask for shit, if something they need comes up after a battle they'll automatically claim it, althought you can over rider their decision. once they got all the shit they need they'll automatically upgrade, but I think theres also a patch/mod out there for the PC version that lets you manually equip and upgrade their weapons.

>>383640548
Tbh the game is a lot easier on PC. No need for as much grinding. I got it after this place hyped it up as hard as shit, but it was only moderately difficult since you don't have to use the scrubs on PC. Still great, solid 8/10. Just make sure you put remnant holders as squad leaders.

So you people don't know that bosses actually turn harder if you're over a certain level / you do jackshit damage if you're underlevel. This is not different on any version.

>>383642021
Yeah. Enemies scale. To a point. There's literally no reason to avoid grinding. Eventually your team surpasses everything; especially if you know how to synergize your teams.

>>383640548
just use cheat engine to lower your BR so you don't have to grind so much

>>383642201
So it's like scaling in Final Fantasy 8? I was warned about grinding but played through it like I did with the other games and didn't notice a difference

>being jelly of me mining with mr. digg at 5x the game speed

it's ok, just admit it

>>383640548
use specialized squads, like your melee guys, magic guys, cleric team etc so they can reliably do what you need them to

if you use any specialized ranged ones remember you can have them disengage without being punished by having someone else charge whoever is aggro on the ranged squad

>>383640963
the underage generation raised on e-celeb lets players everyone! won't dare play a game without first getting someone to hold their hand.
