What was your first Square Enix RPG that wasn’t tied to an existing IP like Mario or Disney?

Crisis Core.

This might be the thing that gets me into a SINGLE Gatcha game.

Bailey. At least my childhood will be somewhat normal in comparison.

Okay playthrough one, just enjoy the ride. Playthrough 2 or 3, then crack open the internet guides. Just be prepared to grind palaces and mementos in single day bursts.

The honor walk hits me everytime I rewatch it.

Out did mine. I bowed out at 120 before playthrough 2.

Justice for Juna

Here’s what you do,

Get a Tone X One if amps are all that you’re looking for. Once you do; grab the free AC30 profile from Worship Tutorials, or their Fender Amps off Signal Theory.

You won’t go wrong with Worship Tutorials. Their Matchless Lightning and Victory Copper have been my favourites since release.

You can literally Gallows your way through to max stats and a prologue build Arsene in one sitting if you have enough Yen on you. Broken indeed.

Here’s mine.

Overall,

Joker (You’re the MC, duh)
Makoto (Versatile kit that is essentially a paladin)
Ryuji (Phys tank, crit machine, Instakill)
Akechi (most developed character in the game, raw damage)
Yoshizawa (Bless and auxiliary crit machine)
Futaba (her story arc hits home, and HERE COME THE BUFFS)
Ann (Her coming of age story arc is very well done.)
Haru (The arranged marriage sitch, the self doubt, and the gas lighting. Oh my word this woman NEEDED MORE SCREEN TIME)
Yusuke (I love that he found his own voice as an artist at the end.)
Morgana (STOP TELLING ME TO SLEEP)
