I just beat that windy nigger bitch in chapter 3how many chapters until I can start "the real game" and stop reading the unbearable retarded story dialogues
>>741815826You're not even a fifth through
>>741815926I thought the story was short
>>741816017it's like 15 hours if you go through it normally, but supposedly you can speed through it in like 4.
>>741816017It is, especially by JRPG standards. I played through it in a day on release
>>741815826Isn't that like the first actual boss?
Turn the difficulty down to easy and just skip the cutscenes and you can run through the story in around 5-6 hours.
>>741815826Is it true that you are forced to play as certain characters in this game? Some review said you were force to play as some Captain, you can't make your own character and play?
>>741815826The story is 10 hours if you skip cutscenes so keep going
>>741817445I'm playing on hard and everything is so fucking easyI really enjoy the combat but the characters and dialogues are awfulI didn't expect anything good but holy fuckkill that fucking mini dragon>>741817278I fought a stone lizard and a big goblin before the wind primal boss>>741817665no, you can't make your own character. The main character is the captain, he's a guy named Gran and it's just a generic cool teenager. Think of tidus but less vibrant>>741816145>>741817728thanks broshope the postgame is cool, I like the combat
>>741817665There's only two or three sections that force you to be a specific character.
>>741817778You still using gran??
>>741817778Oh yeah I forgot the stone lizard was the tutorial boss and not the goblin dude
>>741817864I was using katalina until I unlocked percival, but the game forces Gran into your party
>>741815826Still takes a long time before the real game starts>stop reading the unbearable retarded story dialoguesYou should do that instead of reading the awful story maybe read the fate episodes of whatever your main is. If you think the story gets better i have bad news
>>741817778Just skip the cutscenes. Even as a Granblue fan the story is really weak and not worth paying attention to.But then you unlock the Post Game “Hard” missions which are also pretty easy. And then you unlock the Post Post Game where you’ll actually be in danger of failing missions and need to start working on actual builds.
On the topic of relink, what's the best way to re-integrate myself into the game before the DLC comes out?I'd like to get myself back to a skill level where I can beat Lucilius and the mech guy again at least but I'm rusty af from not playing for like a year
>>741816017it is pretty shortand kinda bad
>>741818015Just boot up the game and kill some bosses
>>741817957>I was using katalina until I unlocked percival,Because you are based beyond belief
>>741818015I'm just planning to go in a day or two before and flail around the dummy for a while until I remember how things work and then maybe do a couple proto runs or something
SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP
>>741815826Outside of being pretty generic, its not THAT bad. It had its kino moments. The only thing I found truly insufferable is that fucking dragon mascot thing. Why does every JRPG insist on having one of these annoying little shits in the party.If you hate the story/dialogue that much though just skip every scene its fast af, I replayed the game recently and it took maybe a day by skipping everything.
How deep do you have to go to unlock Seofon and Tweyen in-game? Or should I just pay up?
>>741818165Aura
>>741818525End game essentially
>>741818165Watch your mouth, fucko
>>741815826>350 hours in the game>just realized I have a bunch of quests I haven't doneOops
>>741815826Don't worry anon, there's even more dogshit storymode coming in 2 weeks
>>741815826You've still got an airship level, a snow level, a desert level, a volcano level, a "final level", an actual final level, an actual final boss, and then a taste of the actual game followed by a cinematic boss fight before you get to the actual game
>>741820530
>>741815826They better implement a better system to get rid of unwanted sigils. This shit is tedious as all fuck
we love vee-kun around these skies
>>741823698Hell yeah brother
>>741820229Crazy how they can never write anything interesting about their primary One Piece in the sky quest. Going to the moon with the Society in mecha was a great story, getting involved with the homoangels had high points, even the recent phoenix story was good. But every time they try to write some bullshit about traveling the islands it's a sleep aid instead of a story. They could definitely hire a writer or two by now.
>>741824581I've been skipping every piece of story content they've put out for years now
When's her turn?
>>741818220Japan likes cute things
>>741823698>>741823985https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pcmo1WBdd8
>haven't played since Lucilius was added>boot up the game to find that there's a bunch of new quests added>can't do any of them except Behemoth cause there's no online and the AI suckGuess I'll just trivialize them with the expansions power boosts.
>>741828153Platform?
>>741828153There are plenty of lobbies on PC
>>741828389>>741829084I am on PS5 but this did actually remind me that they are going to be adding crossplay with the expansion and playing a bit now while the thread is active and then going back to dead lobbies is just going to leave me wanting more after getting a taste so I think I'm just going to wait until it comes out and play then. They're supposedly reworking shit to make it less grindy anyway.
So with them completely reworking how damage caps work in the expansion is basically every build made going to be rendered kinda useless?
>>741830209Kinda but we won't know till patch notes
>>741818953they really should change this in ER. I have them unlocked, but at this point since they've had the time, they should at least let tweyen and seofon unlockable earlier.
prospecting this game since some of my buddies will be playing the expansion when it comes out, seems like it might be a good time to joinis the expansion like monhun where it's more stuff at the end?
>>741830209I hope so, the current endgame/build dynamic is absolute shit. I also don't think they have much of a choice but to make the current stuff obsolete (at least by the time people are getting into the new DLC endgame). There will be lost of returning or new players that want to get into the new stuff and if the old stuff was still meta, they'd all be forced to go back and grind that shit to do new content, which wouldn't be a good move on the devs part.But I also assume that the new content would already render most of the current stuff useless anyways because there will be higher tier and better stuff that will drop from the new encounters and difficulties.
>>741830798>is the expansion like monhun where it's more stuff at the end?Yeah it's 100% postgame
>>741830209They aren't doing that.
>>741830820>the current endgame/build dynamic is absolute shitWhy?
>>741830820They've said they want to change the focus from pure glass canon low HP everything one shots you but max DPS to focusing more on survivability and healing for potential support playstyles so that's definitely happening.
we will at least get 3 post game updates
>>741830209As long as boosting damage cap exists as a concept, and it's granblue so it probably always will, the first priority for endgame builds is going to be capping that. Same goes for crit rate. They'll probably just offboard most or all damage cap sigils to some other thing so you aren't lugging around 2-4 of them in your build guaranteed.
>>741831673Aside from war elemental, the only "good" stat you want to seek out as much as possible of is damage cap up, because for whatever reason its extremely easy to hit the damage cap without even trying, so the only way to boost your outgoing damage more is to raise the damage cap.It just feels like a really cheap and shitty stat system. You have all these different stats that are basically worthless because why do you want more attack, or crit damage, when all your damage is already cucked by the cap anyways. It also makes all these buffing skills really useless in the endgame.
>>741822264Also the "the actual game" is the Epilogue which is a slog to the get through.Officially the game starts at Maniac difficulty, in which your characters Sigils actually come to play. Then Proud in which you will fail if your party isnt as geared up as your playable character.
How do I play Tweyen? I just got her.
I tried the demo to see if i should grab this during tomorrow's sales. Did the tutorial and that mission with the ice dinosaur playing as Gran. Overall thought it was good, but i wanted to know a couple things.How different are the characters from eachother? Are they like MH weapons each with it's own playstyle and all or are they mostly the same with some gimmicks? Based on that mission alone, the combat didn't seem that deep.Likewise, how is the mission structure? Does it have some variety or is it just hunt big monster and maybe some gather x material?
>>741835037use skills, complete combos to get her counter up to 11. Use multi lock hail (hold Y) target enemy, release, repeat.
>>741833881You'd be stacking damage sigils regardless so I find all complaints about Damage Cap to be kind of dumb.
>still no zodiacs but shill dragons instead
>>741835037Light Light Heavy Heavy is her aoe combo that shoots out a bunch of arrows. Use that if there's a lot of trash or parts to hit and you can get meter real quickly, especially when you start building her sigils. You can hold down both her light and heavy attacks but I forget the autistic dps sheets that says what is the most powerful, might as well play around with it. I remember the final heavy hit usually isn't charged. Peerless is a must have skill, it's the buff. Depravity is fantastic for anything that gets hit by status effects, Clincher is a great damage skill. I usually use Lethal Rain as the last one because of the stun. After you use her ougi she gets a buff just like in OG GBF where the next damage skill she uses gets a boost to its power and also paralyzes, so it's a good CC tool and you usually have Clincher saved up for that.
>>741835628Yes, but there is a better way to do it by diversifying the builds instead of shoehorning everything into one stat like a funnelCharacter X has tons of innate atk and ways to buff their attack state in their skills, so they can focus on something like crit rate they struggle withCharacter Y has a lot of crit stats, but they need a lot of raw attack help because its very lowCharacter Z is charge based so they can ignore the traditional stats to focus on charge damage and speed statsSo when you get 50 different endgame sigils, maybe 10-15 of them have some potential use on some character's build.Instead, what we have is character XYZ all don't care about any of those stats and just want damage cap up. So of those 50 sigils, only the 3 that have damage cap up might be usable.Its just boring and makes the grinding feel worse.
Where is he
>>741836382Bro you can hit 100% crit with every character, and everything you mentioned still boils down to "stack more damage."
>>741836562you mean
>>741831824yeah i don't see it happeningbet some expansion bosses and beelzebub guy has "do big dps fast else he rapes you" phase like faa's final phase so back to damage>everything, no space for defense/hp unless they release a reverse terminus weapon (reach higher than X hp for atk boost)support playstyle just never works unless they release a pure buff/debuffslut char where trying to go usual dps sigils with them is considered griefing. i remember during early faa days danchou support build was a thing but even then they quickly swap to full dps build once the fight is figured out
>>741818013>you’ll actually be in danger of failing missionsmore like you will DEFINITELY be failing missions UNLESS you have a good buildthe end game of GBFR will fuck you six ways from sunday without both a decent build and knowledge of the fight(this is a very good thing)(i got filtered by dark rapture)
>>741835701Ypu'd have to wait for Relink 2: Welcome to the Rice Fields for them to add the Zodiacs because apparently they're too "Japanese" (despite being based from CHINESE zodiacs, and most of them have blonde hair) to be added to Relink.
>>741837037i wasnt aware this freak gave such a terrible reason
>>741837037lmao what the fuck is this guy even talking about? who gives a shit, just put them in the game instead of more homos
>>741837037he's afraid of the fact that they are all 12-14 years old (except the hags).
>>741837037second expansion
>>741835501>>741836285Thanks anons. I forgot to reply.
>>741836808They've also said they want to move away from bosses being hyper skill checks and make them a bit more puzzle like.
>>741845810lol the only real skill check is zero the original fight got nerfed so you cant even say 2 fights
>>741818165Don't play with english voices on, dumbass.>>741833881>easy to hitFor certain characters, yes.
>>741816017Short for jrpg standards. It’s like 12-15ish hours. It’s kinda more insulting that it doesn’t have coop since the main appeal of the game being coop is now a hard sell when you have to do 12 hours of single player.
>>741827241Probably in the last batch of planned dlc for Relink or versus. If they plan on using romi park they aren’t bringing her in more than once. Not when they have so much unique dialogue.
>>741845989Basically everything one shots you in the end game currently which with how much of every end game boss is just complete visual diarrhea where you can't see shit it makes it annoying to avoid.
>>741846279Isn't the usual stamina+tyranny combo almost universally enough for most chars outside of edge cases like capping uncharged Setsuna or something?
Is there going to be new ways to more easily guarantee certain sigil combos in the DLC? It still annoys me that I waste 2 sigil slots on the character specific skills cause I can't get one with both of them on together and they're paired with dog shit 2nd stats which I can't change because you can only synthesize the V+ ones which they aren't for whatever reason.
Why fraux instead of nier? Nier is far more popular.
>>741838282Which is a sensible thing. If he adds them, he either HEAVILY censors the majority of them (making the people that wanted them bitch incessantly) or the game gets ultramegafucking cancelled with shit like Monkey or Dog's "straight out of a loli gangbang doujin" designs.Adding sheep should be fine, though. No excuse there.
I hope you can still AFK max in the expansion.
>>741848771Probably had some other character planned whose model/animations they could scrap to make her. See: Tweyen.
>>741848806tfw we'll never have any good loli gangbang doujin designed characters
Are current sigils going to get updated wiith that element system/whatever else they're adding? Or do we have to refarm?Also my one gripe with this game was needing to save scum everything. Transmarvel, Overmastery, Sigil Synthesis (especially that last one). Hope they bump up good RNG.
>>741846279>Don't play with english voices on, dumbass.I play with jap voices, still fucking annoying
This shit hasn't been on sale since almost 2 years, I'll kms if there's no discount tomorrow
>>741849273can I have your shoes?
>>741848993Yeah I have no idea why the fuck Sigil Synthesis even needed to be rng in the first place. Why could you not just pick which skills you wanted to use for the final product? That would have been way better.
>>741849273If you have to wait 2 years for a sale of a mediocre game that isn't even particularly expensive, you may want to consider killing yourself either way.
>>741849273Cygames are either really bad at marketing or are too greedy and won't put the base game on sale for the foreseeable future.
>The real game is grindy repetitive shitOh nonono
>>741849498In their defense, the game is the regurgitated leftovers of a failed project cobbled together last minute, which in itself already was based on a gacha to begin with."What were you expecting" comes to mind with that greeting card.
Are there any combos of sigils you can't combine with synthesis? I'm trying tog et 2 Tyranny on a single sigil and it's not working.
>>741849412seriously, i have three suppV+s that I'm handling like it's the fine china that's been in the family for centuries.
>>741851197no, but any sigil that only has a lv 15 version (e.g. War Elemental and Personal Sigils like Warpath) don't work with synthesis. Tyranny/Tyranny sigil is possible, but not very useful since it has diminishing returns. Stamina/Tyranny is a good combo since most characters use it. If you are having trouble getting the combo, you can save scum synthesis. You attempt your combo, if it fails, exit to the title, do a quest (any quest it doesn't matter) and the attempt will reset. With something as common as tyranny you should do it in bulk. Might not even be worth save scumming to be honest.
>>741851521So you'd say it's better to just try get 1 sigil of both Tyranny and Stamina and then focus on other ones rather than trying to max both?
>>741851751yea
>>741852095I see. Thanks anon. I was worried about how much space I had for sigils. As other anons said I realy hope they change Synthesis to be less rng in the expansion.
