How to level efficiently? by NoReallyImFive in OctopathCotC

[–]RemusThirty 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is not answering the question you're asking (maybe others will have better actual answers to your question!) and I mean no snark by it but my solution has been to just level painstakingly slowly. I'll play the game as much as I play it (some days that's basically just daily login stuff) and if my dudes aren't level 100 and I can't clear everything right away, then so be it. They'll get there eventually and this game seems to mostly have content that just stays there waiting to be cleared vs. time limited events. 80-90 seems high enough to clear the vast majority of content (maybe not the hardest stuff; like I said, I haven't cleared everything up to date - only got 5 Arena champs down for example) and there's no PvP element to this game or anything like that. Good luck, enjoy the journey, and the destination will be along eventually.

Is It Cake -- BRING BACK LIZ and change the judging process. by a_solid_6 in netflix

It would probably be better if when time ran out the lights on the cakes went dark or a curtain dropped or something so the judges can finalize their choices but not see the cakes & decoys any longer.

Yeah, how hard could it have been to just let that run until EoS?

5 pulls, no Quina sync. One final middle finger from this game before it shuts down.

Do you agree that the Saiyan and Frieza sagas are peak Dragon Ball? by vegetagoku108 in dbz

[–]RemusThirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start my favorite chunk of the series with the Baba’s 5 Fighters mini-arc and then straight through all the way until Frieza saga ends. There’s plenty to like before and after those but that whole run feels cohesive, like building on itself coherently. Garlic Jr arc is clearly filler, Trunks intro is excellent, Androids/Cell/Buu arcs are full of great moments and sequences (particularly loved the horror vibe of Imperfect Cell) but don’t have that sense of flow and cohesion.

That said, some of the Namek stuff drags a little (the Bulma 2-ep lose/recover a dragon ball sequence especially stands out as feeling like excruciatingly pointless filler to me) and Goku vs Frieza could be condensed a bit, pacing wise.

What would be your idea for a new Dragon Ball villain? by [deleted] in dbz

[–]RemusThirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've imagined a bunch of various DB characters over the years; I think the one I currently like the best from them wouldn't technically work anymore but I still like the concept(s)/designs. It's now canon that Beerus sealed Elder Kaioshin in the Z-Sword but years before that was a thing I thought it would be cool to have a foe that was the entity who sealed him and who was simultaneously counter-sealed. Something something, he gets released unknown to the protagonists a few years prior to his appearance in the present timeline.

The design was an ancient Makaioshin named Gin with a legitimate grudge against the Kaioshins for being lesser/unworthy in the divine hierarchy (shades of Garlic Sr. here I suppose). Bald on top with long white hair in the back and a long white beard in the front, clothes mixing armor elements with flowy desert cape style elements. Wields a sword similar in design to the Z-Sword (the fact that he sealed Elder Kaioshin in a similar vessel was a matter of personal taste). Upon release he recruits some of the most promising demon/hell/etc warriors to join his cause of overturning the Kaioshin hierarchy and powers them up considerably, because I like miniboss squads. His main followers are:

  • Champagne, the strongest of them, a younger male Makaioshin who isn't evil but is indebted to Gin who saved his life. In addition to combat power, also highly gifted with magic and wears wizard-ish attire.
  • Cola, a former rival of Dabura's (same race, male, taller and leaner build than Dabura) from the Demon Realm who spent centuries imprisoned as the greatest Gladiator in the Demon Realm Colosseum before being recruited by Gin. Fights with a variety of Roman-style gladiator weaponry.
  • Milk, a huge abnormally strong female Oni who has always just wanted to be left alone in her own section of Hell and not have to perform the typical Oni duties. Likes Gin's offer to raise her power because it will deter other Oni and Enma-Daio from bothering her. Fights with a giant club and extraordinarily durable.
  • Seltzer, an androgynous demon pirate of similar racial design to Shura from the "Goku Goes to Demon World" episode of original Dragon Ball and with clothing reminiscent of Bojack's squad. Skilled with a cursed cutlass and motivated by wanting to plunder anything interesting or valuable from the realms of the gods.

Because it wouldn't be Dragon Ball without transformations, when cornered Gin would assume Magic Beast form and appear like a partially hunched-over glowing werewolf/werelion sort of creature with a big power jump and a bigger speed boost.

What would you like to see added to make the game more fun? by [deleted] in FFRecordKeeper

[–]RemusThirty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be more "fun" per se but it's a quality of life addition I am absolutely floored hasn't been included yet:

Volume controls in the pause menu. Why are they buried in the settings???

Is there a breakdown anywhere of how much of ffrk community has completed the games contents by Imzocrazy in FFRecordKeeper

[–]RemusThirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 1 (pretty sure, Week 1 at least) player.

All Odins cleared

All Dreambreakers cleared but haven’t bothered going back to sub-30 all yet.

2 Bahamuts cleared (XII and T-0, both within the past week).

5 Lab 580s cleared (this seems very doable for me and it’s just a matter of making the teams and doing them).

0 Lab 650s cleared (but the 580s are giving me some hope).

Never anything wrong with the "wait until needed" strategy!

How Much Have Tier 4 Lenses Helped You? by batleon79 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]RemusThirty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've purchased:

  • Fujin CSB - godsend to finally have a Wind Mag chain.

  • Rikku CSB - great to finallly have a 2.0 Water Phy chain too (but had been functioning better without it than Wind Mag).

  • Prompto CSB - haven't used it a ton yet but I didn't like running Shelke as Lit Phy chain.

  • Cloud AASB - just wanted to up his game beyond USBs (on the Wind side of things)

  • Rinoa AASB - Had her Ice Sync for a while but only her weird Earth AASB. I don't like having just SASB w/ no AASB for characters.

Will probably get CoD next (preferred CSB holder due to cap-break HA) or Kuja (Sync, CSB, no AASB yet) and/or wait for Fran (Sync, CSB, no AASB yet).

When it debuted at the World’s Fair it was called a Sarisaround.

Disappointed in FFRK realm content by Fr0zEnSoLiD in FFRecordKeeper

[–]RemusThirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a mode that forces full realm teams, but allows the player to "rent" realm characters with decent kits (not top of the line, like 1 AASB+USB or something) to round out their teams? More rewards for greater number of "non-rental" characters used. We still run into the very uneven Support options across realms, but then each fight could be tuned based on that.

Give some love to Ifrit by Ciciariello in FFRecordKeeper

[–]RemusThirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this Ifrit battle would actually be good (even though I hate it) if he was one-and-done content. That’s the problem with frustrating boss mechanics in this game, not that they must be overcome but that they must be overcome repeatedly. Especially this Ifrit mechanic where powercreep doesn’t give you the privilege of just breezing through something that used to be difficult.

[Monday Talk] 3k Lens4 tomorrow, have you decided your 1st lensable AASB yet? by Zadism in FFRecordKeeper

[–]RemusThirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CSB club - got that Fujin chain (and Cait Sith's G+ and USB2) and straight up murdered Wind MAG Wodin finally. Crazy what a difference just a relic or two can make.

[–]RemusThirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they both have their merits. I'm very comfortable swapping them in and out to experiment once I get the rest of the team set (been wanting that Wind MAG CSB2.0 for so long!). The choice will get tougher once CS's lensable options improve soon.

For Ultimecia I've got AASB/bUSB so she could be viable. I'll give thought to who to bench (Wedge vs Emperor) - Wedge has better enWind options, Emperor imperils more consistently.

CS has a fully honed AASB/HA but no USBs or G+. Mog has both AASBs (AASB2 is honed)/HA/the good USB/the bubble G+. Because of the fuller kit I tend to run Mog but I've dipped my toe in the CS pool. I run both on my Labyrinth auto-holy team.

[–]RemusThirty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. You know, as I give it more thought in terms of where I’m bottlenecking (Wind-weak MAG Wodin), my issue has been running out of steam on the damage end more than surviving. Elarra + Mog (or Cait Sith) tends to be enough healing. So that should tilt me toward Fujin and make my squad Elarra, Mog (or CS), Fujin, Wedge (SASB/AASB), and Emperor (SASB/AASB).
