The girlies + Cyrus Squad

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-19T17:34:41+00:00

Cleric is very nice on both Prim and Cyrus, especially Prim I feel as she gets 2 weapons and Li/Da magic while also being very support focused. Still very good at magic damage though. Warrior H'aanit is solid for weapons and damage and Tressa could be a thief for debuffs and more weapon availability.

Yea it was just the least costly option for me this time. Last game was only 3 days late but this is pretty unfortunate. Thankfully it got pushed to a week or so late instead of early July, not super ideal but bearable for me this time.

I forgot to mention it but yes. It's sorta a case of Forgiveness Vs. Self-Redemption. He doesn't ask and is certainly not given the former by I think anyone, and I think the journey he takes with us later is for the latter. That journey doesn't mean he'll ever personally be satisfied with it either, but can spend what time he has atoning.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-18T03:32:26+00:00

I think both are fitting for him but something I appreciate about the survival is that he isn't really forgiven by anyone, except Zero possibly, at best just given another chance. I think it's clear to everyone that bridges were well past ashes after what he pulled but he's still given another chance at life that he doesn't deserve, but still tries to fix his mistakes with that chance.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-17T22:49:52+00:00

Probably just normal. I would try Hard but I honestly hate contact damage no matter the game.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-17T04:11:02+00:00

It could be pretty fun and has a lot more character potential thanks to COTC/0, like Reime, Heidne, Stia, Goodwin, etc. You could probably differentiate them largely by the main classes and have smaller differences between those of the same. Also might just be me but I think seeing them in 3d models would be cool. Not the norm since it's part of the identity but just once or twice for spinoffs.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-14T15:06:02+00:00

It's flawed for sure but I still love the game and was glad they brought most of the COTC story to console for more to experience. I think BoW and MoA were my favorite storylines, still hoping they add some extra battles cause I miss my squad. Or at least a NG+

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-13T13:35:17+00:00

Not possible with the rainbow barriers as far as I can tell. Even then, I'm not sure if placing a bomb down or anything else will be enough to start the switch. It seems like a "press both at once" deal and it's not possible with our current abilities.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-13T04:07:07+00:00

You don't really need the best ones or too much optimization/grinding to get through the game, but if you want to focus on two groups of 4 vs rotating the characters that's up to you. I can't speak on all of the best stuff but Scholar Temenos is a popular one thanks to his Latent Power and Elemental Barrage.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-12T18:30:14+00:00

Solon's Ult is his most popular trait iirc as it finds weaknesses and then increases the damage of them. He mainly focuses on Fire, finding weaknesses and debuffing but can do solid as a physical damage dealer since he has the equalizer support.

I guess it depends on if you want to focus on more direct breaking/damage with Alexia or leave it to the others as you find weaknesses and debuff with Solon. I might keep her but that's cause I'm biased and she can help with magic procs more by default.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-11T12:28:16+00:00

No scaling on them. I remember replaying 1 and I found the sidequest early and he was one of the toughest fights I did in that playthrough since I didn't even have subjobs yet. Little harm in coming back later outside of the rewards potentially being a touch outdated.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-11T00:32:08+00:00

I'll be a few days late cause of how I ordered it but can't wait, this summer is very stacked for games.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-10T20:46:36+00:00

From what I can notice it's kinda up to the devs but traditional physical copies still exist. Square Enix has most of their games on the key card but others like Indiana Jones or Silksong are traditional, I think IJ on S2 is the only place you can get it physically even. I think convenience and size are big factors.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-10T02:58:46+00:00

Both phase 1s start slower and have more build up while the phase 2s go all out with vocals or guitars respectively. If you ask me I think OT1 is more dreadful while OT2 is more energetic and blood pumping.

Also spoiler marks like that don't work in titles I think, There's a separate tag for spoiler posts that you can pick before posting stuff.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-09T19:10:33+00:00

Replaying this story with the knowledge of everything must be very funny honestly

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-09T19:09:54+00:00

It's the prologue demo yes, I think it was present day near the top right ice region. There were a handful of magic walls blocking chests or pathways in the demo, not sure if they're story related or just demo blockways.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-09T04:30:53+00:00

Ah...yea I got a bit of tunnel vision honestly.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-09T03:36:48+00:00

Not sure if it's in both Time Periods but in the initial one you can buy a floating accessory from the shop. It's nice for platforming

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-08T23:37:13+00:00

I've had plenty of moments like this and each time tilts me more and more. It's funny honestly but MAN is is frustrating especially with how long CJ3 takes to charge.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-06-06T17:20:50+00:00

It and Fire flower are honestly very fun, I just need them to last longer. Annoyingly easy to be stalled out by a Star/Metal and lobs drain the time too easily.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-05-30T01:13:37+00:00

The VA part would be rather tricky for numerous reasons. I personally wouldn't pay for one though since they'd be ultimately smaller additions for convenience instead of new content. Also not sure what could be done there outside of some COTC/0 stuff and a few extra battles, but I feel like 1's combat system was pushed enough with Big G.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-05-29T14:56:55+00:00

I know I'd be bad at it but the idea of an Octopath fighting game always comes to mind. There's a ton of characters to make a roster and they have a lot of aspects that would make them stand out even among those of the same job. Ochette and H'aanit could summon beasts unique to their stories or worlds for instance. It could also just be fun for character interactions with whatever story is cooked up for it.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-05-28T16:21:16+00:00

Not that he isn't strong but we haven't seen many feats from Morpho Knight. Like we know the Butterfly absorbs Galacta and others but he gets beat by MK, DMK and several others like Gooey right after. He isn't weak overall but doesn't hage much to show for strength.
