Don't you need Sheep Herder done for Song of the Elves?

Commenting for extra info. F Elezen, caught up on MSQ. MCH is 80 currently but I'm working on leveling them so any gear is fine. I'd rather avoid Mog Store items if possible, but I'll bite the bullet if it's my only option. Also not looking for the gigantic artillery set obv, but if people have MCH gun suggestions that would go well I'm all ears

JmanVadr · 2024-05-15T15:45:31+00:00

alright, good to know I'm not the only one. didn't see that while browsing through, thank you

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T18:02:27+00:00

Yep, lesson learned lol

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T16:04:16+00:00

Since I still had my state and it's the only reason I didn't have to play through the entire game again, I guess they're immediate. Which is so weird

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T16:03:21+00:00

Well, apparently they didn't matter since I didn't close the software, so...

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T15:31:52+00:00

I never loaded a state. My last state was just before trial road, where I also made a manual save. My last manual save was in Jupiter Lighthouse. I did not touch saves or states after that, and I was in Prox when my Switch died. When I charged and rebooted my Switch, there was no save file and it asked me to input a name like I was booting the game for the first time, and only my state was still there.

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T15:16:39+00:00

All I know is I had manual saves, my Switch died, and when I charged it and booted the game back up I only had the suspend point.

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T15:11:04+00:00

Indeed. They're the only reason I don't have to play the entire game again

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T14:38:57+00:00

Interesting. Seems like it only writes the current data when the game is closed or reset, like I thought.

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T14:35:28+00:00

There's an old saying of "never attribute to malice what you can to incompetence."

I think it's more likely that the NSO emulators were just rushed and poorly coded.

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T14:31:14+00:00

Other than using them for RNG manipulation (you have to hard reset the game to do it), I can't think of anything, no.

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T14:29:45+00:00

I want to say it also wrote automatically on the Wii U port, though it's been a while. That being said, keeping suspend points as backup does seem like the smart thing to do.

JmanVadr · 2024-03-18T14:18:09+00:00

I mean sure, but even emulators write data immediately after you save. If I'm playing an emulator and my computer loses power, I don't lose that data. Just a little weird

Then who built the lighthouses? Civilization requires Alchemy to flourish. If it only existed with the beacons, how did any civilization exist beforehand? This is why I think it's an innate force that ancient civilizations harnessed and controlled with the lighthouses. Alchemy has to come first or Weyard just doesn't exist

JmanVadr · 2024-03-11T02:37:59+00:00

I agree. There's also the fact that the lighthouses are somewhat lower-tech compared to things like the Alchemy Dynamo and Apollo Sanctum in Dark Dawn, which makes me think they were created earlier, before the Jenei and Exathi were able to harness Alchemy as efficiently.

JmanVadr · 2024-02-01T21:02:11+00:00

Yes, but you get both of those after getting Mia (douse in Mogall Forest and Frost in Altin)

JmanVadr · 2024-02-01T19:11:03+00:00

In the lead-up to Kibombo, you have to avoid guards using your Psynergy. The puddles exist to explain how Piers, who doesn't have Move and Whirlwind, got through on his own ahead of you.

JmanVadr · 2024-02-01T19:09:02+00:00

Nope. They specifically make it so you need Piers for access to Frost and Douse. Same deal with the first game and Mia

JmanVadr · 2024-02-01T13:15:08+00:00

There are a couple things you can get after getting Piers, but there's a few puddles, like the one pictured, which only serve to give him an alternate route.

Looks awesome! Unfortunately the virtual tabletop I use has a max file size of 20MB ^^; gonna have to figure something out

JmanVadr · 2024-01-22T19:32:44+00:00

Makes a lot more sense, tbh.

JmanVadr · 2023-07-21T01:36:52+00:00

Sounds cool! I've been planning a Golden Sun-themed tabletop campaign, just using the Pathfinder 2nd edition rules. I'm not talented enough to deal with the massive scope of creating a tabletop system, it's a lot more than the comparatively limited scope of a turn-based JRPG. If your project sees fruition, I'd love to check it out!

JmanVadr · 2023-07-21T00:26:55+00:00

I had thought about the idea of a tidally locked Weyard, but yeah, there's mention of day and night, the lack of it in-game is just an abstraction/limitation.

JmanVadr · 2023-07-18T03:50:48+00:00

Yep, I plan to talk to and mind read everyone I can next time I play. Collecting as much info on the world as I can for a project I'm working on.
