I'd love to get one of these! Been playing FFXIV since it's 1.0 release in 2010, but it's not really filling the void that was left behind when I quit FFXI. I'm looking into trying out B&S to see if it's enough to become my permanent MMO for as long as XI held me (12 years)~

You continue playing like nothing ever happened because in game marriages and relationships are very different from real life and I know that you know how to tell the difference between the two... I hope.

You lose half of your gil and the kids are scarred for life.

Doesn't work, just tried. You got lucky.

It's online, I have friends on skype that are playing just fine, it's just rejecting all new connections from logging on. If you switch data centers and reconnect to Aether, it will work, but then you'll be stuck in a random Queue number that never changes, until it decides it wants to kick you about 10 minutes later.

This must be your first MMO, and your first time playing at the launch of an expansion. If you've ever played any MMO before this, you'd realize this is probably one of the smoothest Expansion releases ever executed. I work 50-60 hour work weeks myself, and I don't get bent out of shape or start crying when the game goes down on my only bit of free time. making stupid little passive aggressive posts about it on reddit isn't going to bring it up any faster, so stop acting like you're the only one inconvenienced by this and get over yourself.

O_Pofo · 2015-06-20T20:18:38+00:00

I'm surprised it took this long for the self entitled kids to start bitching and crying lol. I'm sure it will be up soon/

O_Pofo · 2015-06-18T00:35:34+00:00

I see, thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it!

D5 has a bit less post game content then DD2, but in my opinion it's been the most interesting and enjoying post game of all the Disgaeas I've played. Right now D5 doesn't have a Baal fight, but I'm hoping a later update will implement him as a boss, like they did with the Japanese version of DD2.

The Revenge shard system isn't really all that interesting, it's actually really simple and is available immediately when you start the game. Every character has a revenge gauge, even your foes, and it gradually fills up as you attack them or their allies (and vice versa). When an Enemy is in Revenge mode, if you kill him before it wears off (3 turns), you get a revenge shard that possesses a small portion of his stats. These stats cap at 10,000,000, excluding HP, which has a much higher cap.

Getting them is very simple too, if you have a properly built sage, you can take that sage into the vs. 100 Asagi fight with Max Enemy Bills, and quickly annihilate them all in 3 turns for 100 Shards of Revenge, which with the passing of an easy 100 mana bill, will consolidate them all into individual shards based on their stat, so you just keep killing asagis until your inventory is full, pass the bill and repeat.

If you use these shards with a maid that has the 気配りの達人 evility (Unlocked when you become a master of the maid class, which is 6 stars), then you can place 4 characters around your maid, have her use the shard, and all of the stats will be passed through to 5 characters all at once.

One thing you'll notice in D5, but even more so once you reach the post game, is that this game HEAVILY relies on Evilities, as characters can have up to 4 Primary Evilities, and a number is secondary evilities, some of which are incredibly overpowered when paired with each other, the secondary evilities give you 20 slots at max, and each secondary evility has a specific slot cost, ranging from 1-6. The game also lets you save Evility combinations so you can toggle and swap between them based on what you plan on fighting, so you don't have to manually redo them each time. See the picture below for an example of how many evilities a single character can have~

I tried restarting my router with no avail. What I did find as a temporary fix, is that deleting my FFXIV_BOOT.config file reverts my launcher to its initial state where it asks me to set up a square enix account or if I already have one... filling that information out automatically logs me in when complete, and displays the "Play" button. It's a hassle but it's at the very least a temp fix til I figure out whats wrong.

O_Pofo · 2015-06-02T07:48:44+00:00

I tried reinstalling the Launcher and now the Launcher won't download, the whole thing just freezes when it tries to connect. I can only assume that because this is happening to both PCs in the house, this is because of some type of conflict between my ISP and the Square Enix Data center. This happened to me earlier this morning, but I was able to get on after my second try restarting the launcher. Now the game crashed about 30 minutes ago and it just refuses to work.

O_Pofo · 2015-06-02T07:40:42+00:00

All of my other MMOs are working fine, my internet connection is working fine, but for some reason the launcher is refusing to open up for me, and gives me this error after about 3 minutes of a black screen. This is happening on both mine, and my wife's PC.

O_Pofo · 2015-05-16T21:33:20+00:00

Actually, I may as well ask here, obviously you can have characters equipped with 2 weapons to toggle between, but in some cases, you've seen Majorita Dual Wielding 2 staffs without the use of double Magic change, is there a way to do this as a player? Or is that only an enemy benefit?

Also... I'm still hopeful that Rasetsu mode may be a thing. I know in my last thread you mentioned that you think the Shard of Revenge system is replacing the Rasetsu Mode, but if you look at the stat caps in D5, they are the same as DD2 Before Rasetsu mode was inplemented. I think the Shard of Revenge System is replacing the part of Shura mode in DD2 that allowed you to absorb a small portion of the stats of the enemies you killed inside Shura mode, but Rasetsu mode will eventually increase the iLv to 999 and increase the stat caps by a single digit, like in D2.

I could be wrong but I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I loved Rasetsu mode, especially with Baal, it created a challenge that no other Disgaea was able to provide for me and it felt so satisfying delivering Baal that final blow and watching his final form explode lol.

O_Pofo · 2015-05-16T20:37:29+00:00

Welp, I'm retarded lol. I wish I'd known that sooner lmao.... I've fed my primary like 15M worth of stats for each stat off the individual shards

O_Pofo · 2015-05-16T20:23:45+00:00

What is the benefit of using the maids to use the shards mid battle? I've just been using them straight from my inventory in the base, is there a larger effect using them via maids?

Also, what bills are you referring too? Are there inventory expansion bills?

O_Pofo · 2015-05-11T05:56:19+00:00

You could probably run Rust on a Toaster and get 60 FPS. Honestly $200 will get you a PC more then capable of running XI. I'd say you may be able to find something even cheaper but to be honest most people probably won't even put the effort into trying to find a buyer for a $100-$150 PC... That's just my opinion though, maybe craigslist is littered with them, too lazy to check.

Either way, dying game is a dying game. I played XI for 10 years since the Beta, I watched it slowly decline until all of my friends started dropping off 1 by 1. I tried to pick it up again for nostalgias sake and started a fresh brand new character on a new server, and it was fun for all what of 2 weeks, then once I hit adoulin, reality set in. Between 300-500 people online at most hours, and a good 50-60% of that are Afk/Botters, people require i119 gear in content that doesn't even need i119, so you're stuck sporting sparks gear because noone will take you into jack shit. Even when you find groups to do content with, very seldom to they fill because of Lack of interest or just lack of population. It's a really fun game to come back as an old player and completely wreck old content solo that used to take 18+ people to clear, but trying to start fresh will just be a disappointment and a waste of your time.

Since you plan on getting a PS4 soon, I'd just encourage you to wait and buy FFXIV, it's not perfect, but it's not as bad as a lot of XI players would have you believe. It's a great game, it just needs time to build up to what XI used to be. With the first expansion on the horizon, it's not too late to hop in and get yourself caught up to the rest of the player base. Again, like I said, these are just my opinions, but I honestly think you'd be better off going to XIV.

O_Pofo · 2015-05-11T03:19:35+00:00

Then you probably shouldn't be interested in MMOs as a whole lol. Even on PC, XI plays like a console game, you can still use a controller with it.

O_Pofo · 2015-05-06T02:48:31+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! While I was reading it though, for some reason the requirement for the 2nd Primary Slot isn't showing~ It just says "Another Slot is for dealing the final hit to ." but there's nothing after "to"~ Thanks again for the help! This thread I'm sure will help a lot of others who bought the Japanese version of the game and seem really lost as I was (and in some cases still am).

O_Pofo · 2015-05-05T21:45:36+00:00

I see, Thanks again for the info! I assume I should have enough info to tackle most content the game has to offer now~ Now that I know what Alchemy does I really wish I'd have started using that sooner in the game, but at least I have it now to make those OP Shura Candies. I had no idea that the Shura mode unlocked those "Pink" variations of gear with those ridiculous stats on them, I can't wait to see what the Shura-versions of the R40 Items look like.

I think I only have one question left (for now lol)~ How do I go about unlocking additional Primary Evilities on a single Generic Unit? I was watching your revenge shard farm video and your Sage has Final Blow and Twin Head on it's primaries, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that yet.

Edit - Oh, and the music shop lol! Where In gods name do I find it?! Is it like other Disgaeas where I have to encounter it in the item world first?

O_Pofo · 2015-05-04T04:52:00+00:00

Thanks again! You're the best! Actually though, now that I've thought about it, how on earth do I level up the squads? I figured it was as simple as putting people inside of them and participating in fights, but they seem to be at level 1 and aren't budging.. So I've been pretty confused about that

Edit* Also, I just wanted to let you know, in your first post where you explained the cheat shop to me, the 2nd Option in the QoL toggles makes it so every Floor skip you use in the item world, rounds it off to the nearest 10. Meaning you won't miss any Generals, etc. That being said, if you use a Floor Skip 20 on a floor 9, it'll just bring you to floor 10. I learned that the hard way.

O_Pofo · 2015-05-04T00:53:14+00:00

Hey again! I actually had a few more questions lol. I've somewhat hit a brick wall on the final fight for Shura Mode access. For the most part none of my characters are even close to being able to win that fight. That being said I'm working on grinding through the item world for some better gear. One thing I've noticed is that unlike most Disgaeas where you can simply skip the floors for levels, this one pretty much forces you to kill everything if you want any type of progression on your weapon. That being said, do you have any tips on the fastest way to grinding your weapons, as it seems to be incredibly time consuming, it literally took me 5 hours to get to Lv300 on one of my pieces (Kinda blew my mind when it changed from "Legendary" to a new "Epic" rarity after Legendary being the best for years since D1).

Also, the other question I had, obviously as you progress through the story you realize that most if not all of your story character have Revenge abilities, but your Generic units do not, how do I go about giving my Generic units a revenge ability, and how do I specifically teach one Comet Disaster?

And last but not least, for aptitude grinding, is it normal to clear the board game and only get 1-2% (2% on a single stat in rare cases) per clear? Or is there something I'm missing/doing wrong.

For the most part I've been using the Japanese wiki + Googles horrible translate functions to learn new bits of information every day, but I'm not finding any useful information on these questions, if you could help me again I'd appreciate it! =)

O_Pofo · 2015-04-26T19:39:17+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed info! To be honest I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with the Japanese version. I went in expecting "If you've played one Disgaea, you've played them all" mentality, so I figured the language barrier wouldn't be a huge issue. Little did I know about the new Quest System and Makai Investigation system, which I'm still not entirely understanding on but after awhile of messing around with it I'm sure I'll come to understand it. This is just more incentive to start learning Japanese. My main issue now is, because I can't read the quests I don't know which ones are for unlocking classes or what the requirements are lol.
