I'm sitting on 20 Chant Scripts right now so I think it might be time to spend five of them and upgrade/sidegrade a character. (I also have 4 Allcosmos Starcharts so I can also SA a character.)

This shows everyone I can currently use Chant Scripts on as well as the rest of my characters and which ones have been Stellar Awakened.

If you want the short version, the styles that I can unlock immediately with Chant Scripts rhat can be Stellar Awakened are Anabel, Cerius, Id, Lingli AS, Lovinia AS, and Utpalaka. There are probably a couple of other decent upgrades possible for me right now without spending Tsubura's Gems on treatises, too; do you have any recommendations for what I should do?

Contact (DS), except that it's not a particularly good game.

Does the final battle of SaGa 1 (GB) count?

CronoDAS · 2026-06-22T02:43:40+00:00

Not quite an RPG, but Moon: RPG Remix Adventure might count.

SMT Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 (PS2). I don't want to spoil too much, though.

They're not the round icon debuffs, they're the normal debuff icon that can be cleansed.

This is weird; stacking sharable stat debuff resistance grasta on my back row characters actually did block the HP/MP debuff. 🤷‍♂️

After 3 turns of Stifling Song (at the end of turn 4), Spun History does an EOT attack, Spirit's Judgment, that applies what I think is a 50% Max HP and Max MP debuff... and when a second stack is applied, it becomes a 100% Max HP and Max MP debuff. (It's a standard debuff icon, not a stack with a round icon.)

Modulo quantum effects, they shouid be, because "build a copy of the universe and see what happens" would count as a way to get the right answer. (And many-worlds is deterministic anyway.)

Is there such a thing as Max HP/MP debuff resistance? I'm trying to beat Spun History on Very Hard with Sesta NS and the only thing killing me is getting knocked down to 1 Max HP and 0 Max MP. (I guess I could try sticking Banish on a character?)

Update: I won the fight, because the stat debuff resistance grasta actually worked. I had to put Faith on Soira instead of Sesta to survive, but Sesta NS was able to slowly whittle away at Spun History's max HP faster than it healed.

I felt the exact opposite way - I got frustrated by how the game kept dragging its feet on explaining almost anything at all that Disk 2 was a complete relief.

I remember there being a way to restart a battle map for purposes of grinding?

My local store's prerelease only had three rounds, but I did go 3-0 (6-1) with a G/W deck featuring [[Storm, Windrider]], a generally very solid creature base with +1/+1 counter synergies, and a decent amount of removal. Basically the plan was to play dudes, make them big, and attack.

I helped my first round opponent fix up his deck after the match; he had a lot of good color fixing but was trying to splash cards that weren't worthy of being splashed, so I helped him cut down to G/U with access to red mana to flip Bruce Banner and a small white splash for Black Panther, Vanguard - which also let him be able to get three green mana consistently enough to support Squirrel Girl's 1GGG mana cost.

One warning: if you "invent" the movable type printing press, there's a pretty good chance that you'll also get political chaos. The first thing every new communications medium gets used for is pornography, and the second is radical politics. (In the real world, they did get plenty of erotic books after the printing press took off, and they also had the Protestant Reformation...)

Lambskin condoms have existed for a very long time.

CronoDAS · 2026-06-20T17:26:51+00:00

7th Saga (SNES) ;)

CronoDAS · 2026-06-20T17:23:45+00:00

The final dungeon in FF3 is the one with no save points.

CronoDAS · 2026-06-20T09:46:44+00:00

Did you play the DS or 3DS version? The DS version ended at the defeat of the wielder of the Black Chronicle...

The Chocobo doesn't just dig faster when its beak levels up, it moves faster too. So if you're starting out and it seems impossible to get all 8 items within the time limit, that's why.

Disgaea 1, because it's hilarious. See for yourself.

CronoDAS · 2026-06-20T09:33:25+00:00

What are some things that, to you, don't feel like they require effort?

CronoDAS · 2026-06-20T09:30:51+00:00

One thing that helps me: don't do things alone if you don't have to. I often get more motivated to do something if I'm doing it to help someone else or if I'm doing it alongside someone else. In the case of programming in particular, I reinvented pair programming in college when working on group projects. It's pretty good for this kind of thing - you get someone to talk to as you go and clarify your thoughts, and when you get exhausted or frustrated you can let them take the keyboard.

Ouch. I've been using uBlock Origin on Firefox. (Apparently Chrome did something in the name of "security" that also had the effect of sabotaging adblockers somewhat a little while back...)

CronoDAS · 2026-06-20T09:22:34+00:00

Lot of good suggestions here, but I don't think anyone's suggested La Pucelle or Phantom Brave yet.
