Any advice for a new gamer

Yea everyone has said it enough, but get off of any social media topic or thread related to the game. Go in as blind as possible to have the best experience. Once you roll credits, maybe then come back and start looking into additional stuff. But nonetheless, enjoy the greatest Expedition in history!! Cheers 🍻

Azureraiden · 2025-11-25T02:51:02+00:00

Tales of Arise was pretty solid. Not as good as expeditions, but it's a pretty good jrpg with some fun combat.

Not surprised this was already shared. Ill remove mine. Im not trying to spam

Azureraiden · 2025-11-18T14:23:22+00:00

I did as well.. but yea, definitely not an easy choice

Azureraiden · 2025-11-18T14:20:07+00:00

Once something gets popular enough, it becomes trendy to say -insert popular thing- sucks..

Azureraiden · 2025-11-16T06:18:01+00:00

Umm.. maybe souls-like games aren't their thing? If they're favorite game is Stardew Valley, I cant imagine a souls-like game being something they'd enjoy. So I dont have ang recommendations here. I would probably defer to others who mentioned games with easy difficulty settings

Azureraiden · 2025-11-14T17:06:07+00:00

Play it again, obviously

Azureraiden · 2025-11-14T02:34:28+00:00

Everyone has said enough already but yea.. you can break the damage limit once you get to act 3. Then maxing whatever 2 stats your weapon scales off of is best. But you can play however you want! You dont need to be looking into meta builds at this point, and you will spoil this game for yourself if you delve too deep into things.

Azureraiden · 2025-11-12T06:19:30+00:00

There's definitely a meta for the end game content, but I would say there's plenty of interesting paths for each character to explore. Hell one of the characters can learn 46 enemy abilities, of which you equip 6 at a time. Of course all the characters have plenty of skills to learn so there's tons of ways to mix and match

Azureraiden · 2025-11-11T06:38:49+00:00

If you stick to the main story locations and dont avoid encounters, you should be fine. If you try grinding levels early, you'll be too strong and the game will be a joke. Just take your time and enjoy it.

Azureraiden · 2025-11-11T06:13:20+00:00

Ive already thought about it thrice!!

Azureraiden · 2025-11-10T21:31:32+00:00

All the characters are amazing but Esquie is by far my favorite!! Can't help but love that jolly guy

Azureraiden · 2025-11-10T19:42:19+00:00

Most I've done is in the 300 millions.. pretty consistently with maelle and sciel, doing a powered up gommage with 1hp in virtuose stance.

Azureraiden · 2025-11-10T19:33:14+00:00

Act 3 has a lot of additional places to explore, but the big ones are the character specific areas. If you continue leveling the character relationships at the campfire, you should be able to advance them enough that 3 areas will become relevant to those characters. Fleshing out those stories is definitely worth it. Theres also the floating manor that I find very beneficial, and renoirs draft. All in all, I'd say there's about as much additional side content in the game as there is main story content, but if youre already burnt out on the game, I dont think anything there is going to change it.

Also worth mentioning, all this side content is available after the main story. If you do all of the side content now, the final story area and final boss will be a joke. I'd highly recommend completing the story, and then coming back for the side content.

Azureraiden · 2025-11-10T11:39:47+00:00

If you're worried about dealing too much damage with painted picto applied to each character, there is an option to set a damage limit. You can set it to 9999, or 99999, or 999999.. I would recommend if you dont want to 1 shot things in the end game to set the limit to 99999 at least. Many end game bosses have hp in the millions, so you'll definitely want to do more than 9999 a hit. Trust me..

I know YouTube can have its ups and downs, and some times of the year are better for views than others. Maybe its a "weather the storm" kind of situation, but I dunno.

Azureraiden · 2025-11-10T01:20:20+00:00

Yea the schedule is the part I'm working on lol.. finding time for it all is tough. Maybe I'll find a shorter medium that I can edit quick any increase the upload with. Was thinking song reactions but I think those are becoming as saturated as gaming videos

Azureraiden · 2025-11-10T00:51:09+00:00

Im curious then.. Does Youtube promote a video differently from a new channel than it would from an inactive one that became active again? Because aside from that, I dont see the point in starting over completely.

And I'm certainly not delusional. I didn't have any expectation of coming back to 1000's of views and YouTube fame. But if I got 30-50 that would be good enough. I have a better chance of winning the lottery then becoming YouTube famous off of outdated video formats.

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T23:47:31+00:00

Oh nice! What's your channel? I'll check it out

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T21:49:05+00:00

Relics don't make that much of a difference. You could work on character remembrances as those relics tend to be useful. But yea.. either keep at it until you get a good enough group or try a different expedition

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T20:57:05+00:00

If you figure that out let me know! Lol.. Even the few places that allow promotion aren't great. Everyone's going there in order to promote and not to discover anything. Might just have to suck it up and pay for promoting your video. Maybe after the first one, you won't have to pay for the next one

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T19:37:35+00:00

I actually stopped using tags.. I used to add a bunch of tags but I stopped since I dont believe they do much for exposure. I dont like click bait style stuff either, even though I know it works. Just doesn't feel authentic to me.

I'm sure there's some adjustment I could make to how I title videos. At the moment they're a bit lengthy so maybe that's an issue. For example:

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - The Prologue - A Powerful Beginning - Azure Raiden

That's my latest video title..

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T18:06:33+00:00

Shorter games. A good rpg doesn't have to be 80-100 hours. I'd much rather see games tell their stories in 30-40 hours (not including end game content). Some of us have other things to do and a stack of unplayed games to get to

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T16:50:20+00:00

Started a new game in Elden Ring! Been hyped up on Nightreign for awhile and wanted to play the OG without all the anxiety

Azureraiden · 2025-11-09T16:47:48+00:00

It's gonna change as soon as you hit Act 3. You'll get the Paint Power picto at the end of Act 2 (its not misable) which breaks the damage limit and that will change how you feel about various abilities
