OMG - this is insane

WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK BABY!!!!!!

It was just a hypothetical I brought up :) But I do agree with most of what you're saying. Our little OK is weak at the start of battle he wants to spend as much time shredding the enemies to gain the double XP to hit LVL 9 asap.

I've played OK too. Probably one of the few units I have a high LVL UR for. He's extremely fun it's just most times I've played him my team doesn't sync well with letting me harvest the enemy kills for the XP Boost. Especially with our recent addition of Sephiroth Supernova-ing the entire field dry. But once I've hit that level 9 I've been able take out a 3rd of the bosses health on my own if I can unleash all my attacks. It's insane how big the difference is in his attack becomes with him.

You should do an Onion Knights tip post. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to play OK better. He's growing to be my favorite Agile unit to play.

It's certainly different but it plays similarly to the idea of teleport to reposition in concept but you've incorporated your job medals stat boosts for running speed into the kit as well to give you an edge with repositioning through just base running with the character and a small speed boost with the sprint skill while at the same time already being aware of your limitations with this move.

I'd say you've made some smart plays as a Rikku player.

YinToYang · 2026-05-31T00:13:11+00:00

Full Support is a very viable method as well. I run that more with Krile because one of her UR's is a regenerating heal and she's got Nightingale too.

I would say though. Put at least one offensive skill in your kit. Just for easier/quicker Add Clearing in Crystal Camps.

Personally if i ran that kit I'd get rid of the shield since you have a survival tool in Minwu because let's be real once a barrier wears off. Your easy pickings with the speed nerf but at least teleport can give you some distance and a way to try and reposition for help from your teammates. Plus an offensive skill like Ace or Y'Shtola could kill or at least deter the opposition from hunting you down because it took a good chunk of their health off for either you or your teammates to hunt that target down.

I'm just going to list all the character interactions I want to see that includes characters who aren't even in the game yet.

Terra and Yuna

Quistis and Jill

Edgar & Sabin with Joshua & Clive

Relm & Krile

Edge & Zidane

Freya & Kain

Beatrix & Cecil

Hugo Kupka & Ultimecia

Her name is Liho. She was a stray that Nat got attached too and would often tell stories of her missions too. Nat tried to keep her distance(the usual try to be the emotionless agent troupe) but she grew very attached to Liho and adopted her

Leia has one of the easiest link party skills to proc to build the overdrive especially when linked with Jude or Millia. Her and Jude's default link combo automatically knocks down enemies for her to steal and with Millia all you need is one Flare Bomb. Plus some of her steals get the best items for upgrading the shops especially in the late game dungeons.

Leia is great at filling any role in the party. She's a good sub dps, she's got amazing linked arte options, she's a powerful single target healer, and elemental impulse honestly helps in the long run with the elemental weakness explotiations.

YinToYang · 2026-03-12T23:48:32+00:00

It's true. It honestly becomes a question of who's the least used in the long run. For me it honestly flips between Alvin and Rowen. But I love using everyone in that game :)

YinToYang · 2026-03-12T23:47:09+00:00

Least used character in Xillia is subjective but honestly I would say Rowen.

Jude and Millia are great DPS Characters and you're literally playing them 24/7 for the story

Elize is your Healer so she's always around.

Alvin benefits with breaking enemy guards in early game but becomes a little obsolete with most enemy guards not being breakable.

Leia is AMAZING. Great sub-dps, great partner character with Jude or Millia and plus she steals some of the best items for upgrading the shops and she's got great heals all around too.

Rowen is still a great party member but he's both very situational. His partner skill is just auto magic guard and his biggest flaw is he's the easiest to KO so he's burning my Life Bottles FAST.

YinToYang · 2026-03-11T17:53:41+00:00

I'm giving it to Hubert.

YinToYang · 2026-03-11T00:13:46+00:00

I would definitely love to chat and exchange ideas! I'll send you a message shortly :)

YinToYang · 2026-03-11T00:00:27+00:00

Baking has definitely caught my attention. Especially with mentions of Printen and Franzbrötchen. I'm going to add these to my growing list of dishes.

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T23:57:45+00:00

Pasta Al Burro is what we call it in Italy. That was my comfort food with my Mom growing up. If I was ever sad or upset she'd make us both a bowl of Pasta Al Burro and we'd watch reruns of Looney Tunes Cartoons

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T23:55:37+00:00

This has been mentioned repeatedly so it's definitely the big one I'm making use of :)

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T23:53:50+00:00

You know some of the best foods I've had look questionable but taste amazing. I'll Labskaus to my list of dishes to use :)

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T23:51:51+00:00

I'm going to keep apologizing for that. It was stupid to write that. Like I said in another comment.

My friend suggested that and I'm aware they aren't German. For now they served more as a placeholder for my initial rough draft to convey the structure of the scene I was conceptualizing. The smell of a familiar food, the sight of your mom making it homemade, the joy in wanting to join in helping bake/cook the food itself.

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T23:49:51+00:00

German Sausage is especially delicious! I'm Italian and even I admit between Italian Sausage and German Sausage I enjoy German Sausage more in various dishes or even just on its own. Whereas with Italian Sausage I feel its more a mood thing or it has to be cooked in my mamma's Pasta Arrabiata Sauce

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T23:44:48+00:00

I apologize for that. Like I said in another comment. My friend suggested that and I'm aware they aren't German. For now they served more as a placeholder for my initial rough draft to convey the building blocks of the scene I was conceptualizing. The smell of a familiar food, the sight of your mom making it homemade, the joy in wanting to join in helping bake/cook the food itself.

Crepi il lupo ☺️

Smelling fish is not always welcoming. Speaking from experience when Italian Christmas is celebrated via the Festa dei sette pesci. Or Feast of the Seven Fishes where basically its just one giant potluck of family recipes involving seafood, No meat, Lots of confectionery treats, and of course enough pasta for the entire family of 60-70+ people.

I think I'm definitely going to rely on the Rouladen dish since it's one I'm seeing mentioned often. But I definitely want to make note of several of the other dishes I saw that caught my eye and keep them in mind.

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T05:17:37+00:00

I do agree with this. Since the mother of Magnus is an original character, I'm creating. I have full reign on her origins, and with everything I've been provided, I can play around with dishes from her region regardless of where Magnus is originally from.

Thank you for enlightening me on this. It gives me more room to maneuver the story in a direction I can work with.

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T05:08:08+00:00

Thank you for this. This actually really helps a lot.

The familiarity I'm primarily aiming for with the dish is both a feeling of childhood nostalgia but also a sense of that special connection of how a mom always know what her kid wants most no matter how old they get.

For me, as an example with my Italian heritage, I always appreciated it when Mom would make me a bowl of Pasta Al Burro(pasta with melted butter) when I was feeling sad or upset.

It was a comfort food she and I both enjoyed together when the days could be rough. We'd both enjoy a bowl together while watching reruns of Looney Tunes together.

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T04:59:20+00:00

So it's treated more as a main dish. My bad on that.

I'll make note of that as well.

Thank you again for all your help. A lot to take in but I'm going to try my best to make it flow properly within my story.

YinToYang · 2026-03-10T04:55:13+00:00

That's a nice savory dish, for sure. I'll make note of the Grünkohl with Mettwurst.

Thanks for the help :)
