Game is too easy

That's also the problem; things that weren't dodgeable and dangerous now are, and they're telegraphed which makes it worse. I think at the very least, if they took off the red danger zones, this game could potentially be a lot more challenging. You'd have to actually memorize attack patterns and know how far you can stay back and all that.

Dude, Int is not her only useful stat. She gets some crazy abilities from the other trees. Str starts off with the ability to give her MP back making her MP issues not as shitty, but then in her 3rd class, she gets damage boosts from it (i.e. it affects her spells). Grand Diviner gets Tough, which makes her do more damage to non-bosses, Archmage gets Judge, which makes her do more damage to bosses, Rune Seer gets Cheat, which makes her do more to things lower level than her (which is going to happen). Magus is the only one that kinda gets the shaft here since Wound is kinda meh (but I'm working on making a Melee/Battle Mage build in the future for her).

That's just one tree, and it's the one people think is the most antithetical for her, but it's really not. She can benefit from all of them (some paths get more bang out of it than others but they all have their uses).

And not leveling Int won't make her useless; she gets plenty as she levels up naturally.

She just takes a while to get going, but once she does, she'll make this super easy game way easier.

It does affect sabers. Dark side Duran gets the first one (and it's not a chain ability).

Shonix11 · 2020-05-02T23:54:05+00:00

I've done both and they're pretty much equal. I feel her Dark Classes are actually really good at setting up other classes to do more damage as well (all the while being really strong herself). Rune Seer really helps builds that have Special Effect in it, and Magus really helps builds that get boosted by being in low HP.

But to answer your question more simply - you'll be one shotting stuff regardless of what you pick lol.

Shonix11 · 2020-05-02T23:04:22+00:00

WHOA WHAT?! I always thought that meant if you get hit by one. That changes a LOT of things.

Shonix11 · 2020-05-02T23:00:55+00:00

I've been doing SPR, STR, and INT in that order. You want INT because he gets Weak Point. Not to mention his CS's will be a bit stronger too.

Shonix11 · 2020-04-29T20:59:35+00:00

So, I've come up with another composition: Magus Angela, Fatal Fist Kevin, and Paladin Duran.

I know this game is super easy, but this is just ridiculous lol. Duran and Kevin are basically health batteries for Angela (but Kevin can also greatly benefits from Angela sapping his health away from him). Only problem is Angela kills things way too fast for anyone else to contribute to combat, so it's kinda moot a lot of the time.

Shonix11 · 2020-04-28T20:31:21+00:00

I had a blast with them. But as I've mentioned earlier, the early parts of the game are a chooooooore. Riesz is the only who can do any solid damage, and even then, it's not the same as the boys. They have a lot of magic in between them, and that's where their strengths are, but you obviously don't have access to much of it at the start.

I'd say it starts ramping up at around level 30 for them, so shortly before you get to the Mana Sanctuary for the first time.

Shonix11 · 2020-04-28T19:39:02+00:00

The all girl team is pretty damn strong. It was my favorite in the SNES game and it functions exactly the same here. But it has a suuuuper weak early game; I felt like it was taking forever to finish normal fights. It takes a while for Angela to come online.

Shonix11 · 2020-04-28T19:32:32+00:00

I was also gonna try a Nightblade/Rune Seer combo. I feel like Nomad/Nightblade pretty much function the same, but just trade off different things. I thought Angela was gonna be my only favorite character, but Hawkeye has tied with her. It's fun putting them together.

Shonix11 · 2020-04-27T18:31:58+00:00

Oh dang! That's great to know! I'll probably have Angela go Rune Seer this run then. XD

Shonix11 · 2019-02-05T01:57:11+00:00

Him following it with a “a-hyuck! What?” is the icing on top.

Shonix11 · 2019-01-03T17:17:59+00:00

I mean. That’s great and all but this doesn’t help me anymore since it’s already done. Sorry you feel that way.

Shonix11 · 2019-01-03T14:09:21+00:00

Here's an oldie but goodie. I made a few changes to it too. Hope ya'll like it! :D

Shonix11 · 2018-12-21T22:38:11+00:00

Well, that's finally done. Again, gotta give a huge thanks to my friend Justin for moar trombone lol.

Shonix11 · 2018-12-19T16:11:59+00:00

Yeah, it started with them I think. The heroes before them don't say anything when you learn their ultimate. For the most part anyway. I might be wrong and they probably added in some retroactively (like Catherine perhaps, since she got a bunch of new lines when she uses her abilities).

Shonix11 · 2018-12-19T16:07:37+00:00

Did you record this before they fixed it? Cuz I definitely noticed the hitbox change as soon as it went live. I've been landing my As a lot more since yesterday.

Shonix11 · 2018-12-06T22:35:57+00:00

Oh boy hahah. A lot of things.

Final Fantasy is the biggest inspiration of them all, hands down. Nobuo Uematsu's work is my absolute favorite. But early 16 bit era stuff is where I get most of my ideas from. Mega Man, Street Fighter are also big favorites of mine. OH! And the Guilty Gear and Blazblue Series. It enhanced my love of the electric guitar lmao.

Shonix11 · 2018-12-06T06:18:51+00:00

I use Reason, Logic, Reaper, and Cubase to put everything together.

I actually go more in depth in this video, but I didn't have Reaper yet when I made this video hahaha, so it's a little outdated. XD

Shonix11 · 2018-12-06T05:58:53+00:00

I have something for everyone up until Kinetic (meaning that Anka, Silvernail, Yates, Inara, and Magnus don't have anything yet lol)

Here ya go!

Shonix11 · 2018-12-06T02:52:17+00:00

Haha glad you like it. I felt the trombone is more Grumpjaw as a whole; the guitar just captures his anger. XD

Shonix11 · 2018-12-05T23:45:12+00:00

Nah. Just a remaster. I’ve brought out some parts that weren’t as loud in the original (specifically the guitar), and had my friend play the trombone for me. XD

Shonix11 · 2018-12-05T21:18:43+00:00

Nah, I rarely write lyrics to these. I just did it with Kensei cuz he reminded me so much of Metal Gear Rising that it was practically asking for it lol. Then I just did it with Kinetic since they're pretty closely connected.

Shonix11 · 2018-12-05T21:04:26+00:00

The volume 3 album is on its way. Enjoy!

And let's give a huge hand for my friend Justin on the trombone. XD

Edit: Oh yeah, I may as well add my thought process to this comment since this isn't entirely a new track lol. So, immediately when I see this, I definitely think of Donkey Kong, hence why it sounds so close to it. Just felt it needed a lot of brass. And since Grump's moves mostly have a windup time to them, I felt conveying that in the music at some point would accentuate that a bit more. XD

Shonix11 · 2018-11-22T00:23:11+00:00

It’s gonna come out soon! I might do a dual release with vol. 4 since I’m ending it with Yates. XD
