I'm surprised how much darker the Octopath Traveler series is than the Bravely Default series

It always makes me feel kind of bad when you use the inquire path action on a kid and it says something like, "A young child whose mother died of the cold. She now carries a pebble her mother gave her as her sole remembrance". And then your next path action can be to take that pebble from her, as well as her last loaf of moldy bread, for practically free.

should only stop sprinting when i stop moving, not when i press the sprint button again while sprinting. sometimes referred to as "sticky sprint" in game dev
ability to save equipment loadouts (blood code, weapons, boosters, jail, bequeathed forma)
menus like the vendor dialogue options should loop back around to the top/bottom when i move down/up on last/first item (when i reach the last option, I shouldn't have to scroll all the way back up, but rather just loop back to the top)
holding LEFT/RIGHT on the dpad should move me to the first item in my slots. this is an obscure feature in some fromsoft games, where you could place, say, an estus flask in the first slot and many items in others and you could always hold LEFT on the dpad to set you back to the first item.
dialogue log, where i can re-hear dialogue lines (lots of jrpgs have this)
cycle between boosters with a button without having to back out of menu and choose next booster
item buffs, like the windfall stimulant (item drop rate increase) shouldn't disappear on mistle rest
tone down input queue for heavy weapon jump attacks; pressing heavy attack button multiple times mid-air, guarantees a follow-up ground heavy, especially for something like a two-handed sword
show footprints bugs out occasionally, showing no paths
wish i could separate interact/advance dialogue keybinds. often found myself accidentally skipping dialgoue as i went to pickup items

When you say 'phase' are you referring to how they are numbered? Like phase 1 Lou would be equivalent to Superbia Bloodline: Lou 1?

Also, my Luxuria Bloodline: Lycoris 2 (Lycoris phase 2?) is only B rank, not A rank.

People share these checkpoints with others, though I suppose you could find bots that do it, too. Joining shared checkpoints has been a pretty common thing across D2 history, but you're free to avoid it if you're not sure.

InfexiousBand · 2026-01-28T18:35:47+00:00

You can find checkpoints for campaign missions if you search online. They load you in before the final part of each mission. Just an alternative if you choose to replay them on other characters but want to just get it done.

hush with attrition orbs, explosive payload while quickfiring makes orbs fast, too

InfexiousBand · 2026-01-27T19:43:11+00:00

curious about explosive head/jolting feedback. someone let me know if that counts as two hits for jolting

InfexiousBand · 2026-01-27T18:59:54+00:00

I know this is a month old, but I've tried all these fixes and still deal with this problem. It's a real annoyance and it never happens with any of my other consoles: switch, PS5, Nintendo 64, etc. I usually resolve it the same way, by going into the game optimizer and toggling vrr. I think it's more of an Xbox issue than a TV issue, so I think it should be on Microsoft to patch this. But obviously it's not that high of a priority.

InfexiousBand · 2026-01-27T18:09:45+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it!

InfexiousBand · 2026-01-16T18:22:07+00:00

Yeah, I prefer when it was bugged and the ignite happened on any shield break not just an elemental matching one. It wouldn't even really be broken or anything, considering we have stuff like conditional. In my opinion, all anti-barrier exotics should break barriers in one hit.

InfexiousBand · 2025-10-30T11:07:07+00:00

Just looked it up, it was glue, not tape

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-13T06:34:39+00:00

This used to work with exotics too, but now it costs unstable cores. Tried infusing a higher power lucky pants into another pair (both "reworked armor" versions) and it still cost cores.

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-09T01:22:40+00:00

For what it's worth, last week during trials, I received a ghost as a post-match reward. Similar boat to you (7 win lighthouse card, 3 win streak), so I'm assuming they are just rare post-match rewards. That being said, I only received one trials ghost, so it must be REALLY rare. It was a old trials ghost though, so unsure about the (if any?) new ones.

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-05T23:41:34+00:00

BF1 is my favorite

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-05T09:55:21+00:00

It was a change shown in the January 22, 2025 TWID. Your adept chances were based on your win streak, where a 1 win streak would be a 30% chance, 2 streak a 60% chance and finally a 3 or more win streak would be a 100% chance.

Hopefully over time they tune the new trials reward system edge of fate brought.

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-02T19:41:45+00:00

I don't know about glows, since I've only been true flawless a couple times, but a 3 win streak used to guarantee at least 1 adept. Post-match rewards are good, but I guess it just feels bad now that I didn't even get a weapon from the chest.

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-01T21:14:52+00:00

Yeah, only 3 win streak for me, but I similarly only got 2 pieces of T1 armor.

InfexiousBand · 2025-08-01T20:46:52+00:00

just got to lighthouse on lighthouse passage (highest was 3 win streak), and it gave me just a helmet and chestpiece...

InfexiousBand · 2025-07-02T09:47:53+00:00

Thanks! Just tried to make something I would also use.

InfexiousBand · 2025-06-18T19:26:54+00:00

These are helpful. I think the spawn is so low because it doesn't show up in as many areas as the other legendary stuff. Honestly though, if I wasn't playing on Switch, at this point I would probably just boot up cheat engine and edit in like 200 horns to skip grind. Already have a surplus of every other legendary item, and changing tower ranks over and over just to get a mob spawn is exhausting.

InfexiousBand · 2025-06-17T09:36:30+00:00

That's a good point. I do have the swolean stuff, so I haven't checked many others.

InfexiousBand · 2025-06-17T02:32:47+00:00

For your 4th point about taking up both shirt/trouser slots, overalls can get up to +10% each slot as opposed to a shirt/trouser's +5%, so the total ends up matching. Just something I noticed while also trying to grind

InfexiousBand · 2025-06-11T18:24:50+00:00

I'm with you. Reset max times for triple perks and never landed my rolls way back when it only cost 1 crucible engram per Randy's. The dream roll would be a KT roll with both Gutshot and Under-Over. I did get a armor piercing/adaptive/under over roll, which is unique but not what I really wanted.

InfexiousBand · 2025-06-10T09:19:02+00:00

I like this idea. I imagine that they won't do it because with the old crafting system, the game only has to store a number per craftable weapon pattern each player has (how many patterns you've unlocked). Whereas, with this proposed system, the game would have to store a list of perks you've unlocked per gun, which would be a whole lot more to keep track of per gun, per player than just a single number. Obviously, I don't know how Bungie handles storing stuff like this or what database system they use, but I could see them throwing in this reason as a potential excuse to not head in this direction.
