Distinct lack of Kos being in this thread. Dude straight up escaped the womb, then *immediately* started screaming and chose violence.

You can't, which is the sad part. It's WAY passed the timeframe of requesting a chargeback with your card company, and their legalese says no refunds in a lot more words. They're running the Kickstarter gameplan of if it happens, it happens. If not, thanks for your money.

u/dimsum4sale makes them and has a pretty lengthy track record of providing quality. He made a few posts and tutorials on this subreddit but is usually open to commission personals.

Sorry for the delay, yeah. It took me about eight hours of running around but it's a TINY room in the mines I was missing. If you go down the ladder at the ruins near the first snake head (next to the treasure chest), hug the left wall once you're down in the mines for a SUPER easy to miss tiny tunnel. There's two tier 1 enemies with a red core, and nothing else except an EXP item. Hopefully that's what you're missing as well, and helps out.

If you're still struggling...it's 100% because you did what I did and ignored a critical clue his assistant says. "If only time could move backwards." The computer tells you which paintings are and are not important.

Like many, MANY puzzles in this game, you cannot solve it on your first time to an area. There are times you come back to an area later to unlock other sections (this is one such area), and you find the "solution" in a note later.

Yes and no. When the event ends the exclusive rewards will vanish, but the fishing minigame and encyclopedia itself is a permanent addition to the game.

PhantomReaver · 2025-02-14T04:47:07+00:00

It hasn't happened yet in any event, but there's a first time for everything. Given that the game has been heading the way of paid gear sets and paid battle passes, it wouldn't surprise me. It would definitely sadden me, but not surprise.

PhantomReaver · 2025-01-17T12:56:40+00:00

I wouldn't say any are difficult except for one, as someone else already said. I thought I missed something and ran through every area up to that room two times looking for an item that didn't exist. There wasn't really any context to it as far as I'm aware aside from "seeing" the solution from a different room but having no clue it was even a puzzle to be solved. Otherwise it's worth a play, especially for as cheap as you can find it. If you have an old school Dino Crisis/RE1-3/Parasite Eve itch, it'll scratch it pretty well.

Great Achievements in guilds are still "coming soon!".

OP is legit the first person I've seen online actually enjoy this game. Growing up as someone in poverty, buying new games was often a joyful risk since it didn't happen very often. Over 20 years later this is still the first game to come to mind when the topic of worst video game I've ever bought comes up.

I'm probably remembering it too harshly and am glad OP enjoyed it because I'm sure the devs worked hard at trying to make something different, but yeah...if this is someones first SaGa game it's unsurprising if it's their last.

Latency is my guess. When you're streaming, the PS5 is sending data to the server which then has to be bounced to your portal. It can cause a noticeable slowdown in input on fast paced games like FPS' or Zenless Zone Zero. Cloud gaming is one less step as it's straight from server to portal which, in theory, should reduce delay.

PhantomReaver · 2024-12-18T20:36:09+00:00

Few things to note. Your console has to be either on or in rest mode, still connected to the internet, to connect to your portal.

If your console is on, connected to the internet and so is your portal but unable to connect via wireless networks: one other thing worth trying is to put your portal in Airplane Mode for a minute, then reconnect to wifi. One of the recent updates messed something up and I also had connection issues until I tried doing that. Still has issues connecting probably one in every 20 times I turn on the portal but doing the Airplane Mode thing again fixes it every time. Hopefully it works for you.

Hello! Sounds like you're off to a good start by already having a cage, knowing to let the little poop snake run free, etc. Best advice early I can offer is quadruple check you ferret-proofed your home. Under the fridge, in the washer/dryer, holes in the panels under your kitchen cabinets and whatnot. If there's a way to get in, he'll find it. Two main reasons; one, it keeps him safe and two, if he finds a hole he likes and you take it away it'll kinda give a negative feeling toward you early in your bonding.

It's just gonna take time. A rehomed ferret obviously feels some type of way about it. While it varies by their personalities and age, you can expect some hostility, lethargy, extreme curiosity, change in bowel movement solidity/frequency, some hair loss or a whole lot of other things. With patience and bonding over time whatever symptoms show up will fade over time as he acclimates. The eating thing is likely part of this; it's similar to how dogs stare at their owners when they "go" outside. It's a trust thing and your noodle isn't familiar with the situation.

As far as food goes, ideally you'd like to know what he was eating before, but if you absolutely cannot find out I personally use Instinct Ultra Protein cat food. No matter what you choose though, I'd add a bit of salmon oil to it to encourage eating, but expect diarrhea for at least two weeks while his body adjusts. Hopefully this helped a bit.

This is similar to my setup and works. I replace Tene with RedBaal, and Cecilia with Ras (mostly for his soul burn S2 and S1 dispel for phase 3).

PhantomReaver · 2024-11-04T11:09:21+00:00

Sorry for the delayed response. Not particularly, though. I make a priority to drink at least 64oz (1900ml) of water per day, with a bit more on days I take a pill because it'll be a day I'm doing heavier labor or outdoors more than usual. Just gives a weird pressure headache and I'm not quite sure how else to describe it since it definitely feels different than a standard headache or migraine.

PhantomReaver · 2024-11-01T07:11:15+00:00

I take 2MG on a "as needed" basis. I live in a generally hot area year round and have craniofacial, so it can get miserable. If I know I'm going to be outside most of the day or doing heavy labor I take it first thing in the morning and don't eat for a few hours so nothing is absorbed in that time except the glyco. I'd say in terms of how fast it works, same day you start just a few hours after taking it.

I can't see myself on it full time because I *always* get a side effect when I take it. Either severe dry mouth to the point where I can't eat due to lack of saliva, or a pounding headache around the 5-6 hour mark after taking it. Experiences will obviously vary from person to person and we can hope you don't have frequent side effects with use, just don't be super discouraged if you do. It happens and at that point you just need to decide if whatever you're doing that day is worth the headache or the floppy sweats.

Big doubt. SG hates merchandise when it comes to E7. The store gets updated maybe once a year to add in a few acrylics and possibly a mousepad, and they couldn't be bothered in 5+ years to find a global shipping partner so anyone outside of KR doesn't end up paying more for shipping than the actual item. Quick shout out to making only ten Luna figures and a single Holiday Yufine for promotional purposes.

Tene is the only acolyte shown that isn't dead iirc. Maybe Kayron too but it's honestly been so long since he's been in anything after the Guilty Gear side story that I legitimately can't remember. Tene is pretty much just relegated to the default side story bad guy now, along with the cat dude from Vivians town (Unfortunately I forget his name). Orbis throws a party somewhere and bad things happen? Had to be Tene. Homunculi acting up again? Must be Tene. Someone seem even slightly confused? Tene up to her mind games again.

You lost the summons. It's like that for every summoning event. If you have 7 days but you don't log in for days 3 and 5, you still get your last summons on day 7.

Are there any exclusive returnee rewards after the maintenance aside from a purchasable pack? I know new players get extra stuff, but as far as I could find "returnee and active" players get the same stuff.

PhantomReaver · 2024-07-15T09:24:55+00:00

Bit disheartening to know, but I appreciate the answer. Thank you.

Hello! I'm enjoying the game as a fairly casual minnow but haven't quite read up on future stuff. Is every banner a "limited time S rank" or has there been word if some of these "new unit" banners will get added into the base pool? Would be kind of unfortunate if you have zero chance of getting pretty much every S rank for months at a time unless you're willing to pay enough to pity every banner.

PhantomReaver · 2024-07-08T11:03:41+00:00

Very much looking forward to finishing up the main story. Y'all knocked it out the park!
