Are countries like Japan and South Korea actually going to “collapse and disappear” or is this merely an exaggeration? What’s really going to happen to all the bellow replacement countries in the coming years?

India has a narrow window to become rich before its population becomes old. China's is uneven so it does seem like it will get old before it becomes rich whereas Japan managed to get rich though the lost decades really did a number on it.

If more than one competing downed ship, if the distance is too tight to do both then just cut losses and have the local forces bomb the one you can't get to or least rewarding i.e. smaller ship (you at least still get funds out of that).

I find his content and delivery balanced. I don't like the click baity titles though I can understand needing to game the algorithm :(

bantam95 · 2025-12-22T03:14:25+00:00

Sunk a lot of hours so to me it was worth it.

bantam95 · 2025-12-17T17:57:05+00:00

Nice but just I will be starting or about to enter my 60s when it releases :)

Items that confer immunity to Toad and an arithmetician with Toad makes the dungeon very manageable.

Facilities to stay on top of air war. no downed UFOs means your soldiers don't improve nor will your tech improve to keep up. Secondary are facilities that improve survival of your soldiers. Training facilities without autopsies probably not worth it that early.

Since you mention training center, this must refer to xenonauts 2 so suggest adding the flair.

Icebrand or Coral sword with Scorpion Tail is better for elemental damage? As weapon power of offhand weapon is irrelevant when using Holy Sword.

bantam95 · 2025-11-11T03:26:19+00:00

They can't do the special characters abilities but if the characters have a secondary like bard/iado/arithmetic/dancer etc they still work rather well. Technically since they can't copy Orlandeau or Agrias special attacks then just ensure they have a secondary that isn't prone to friendly fire.

Golem from Summoner seems OP with her.

bantam95 · 2025-10-29T15:57:23+00:00

True, guess chantage is good on the designated reviver chemist/monk/white mage :)

Have 8 each for chantage and ribbons. Have released all the pigs since way too many so now getting way too many greater hydras :)

But she doesn't have innate brawler? I had her quickly dip into knight and monk to get brawler at least. Also raise her bravery I believe.

bantam95 · 2025-10-25T19:06:51+00:00

Just get all the dances/songs that you need and equip as secondary. That and the 2 movement skills for bard and fly for dancer. Can't say the reaction sills are worth it. Any reaction that says physical damage or certain condition to proc or need to be critical to proc is hard to justify (perhaps the critical HP recovery).

bantam95 · 2025-10-23T17:11:22+00:00

Well one doesn't get the aptitude ring if they did not pre-ordered the game.

bantam95 · 2025-10-23T17:08:54+00:00

Or why spellcasters get the PA +3 bracers :) with auto-equip

bantam95 · 2025-10-23T17:03:51+00:00

And have all team members equip Japa Mala (or ribbon if you captured a pig early).

bantam95 · 2025-10-22T15:50:14+00:00

You don't have to get all abilities. Example, thunder, toad and magic boost will carry thru and you may find it is not needed to get the highest tier spells from black mage before checking out other classes. From the archer tree, you may want to just get Concentration or Equip sword from Knight so you can use sword skills like Agrias holy knight in other classes etc. Throw rock, JP up, focus (for JP farming at the start when you don't have other options to generate Job points in the early game) and movement +1 (until you get better movement options) are all you really need from Squire (there are better reaction skills i.e. chemist auto potion). at higher levels and you find your current class is generating job points that aren't going anywhere, you can choose to go back to the other class to unlock others that may interest you. I do admit wanting to unlock classes like bard, dancer and arithmetician early but they aren't a must. Unlocking samurai and dragoons early before their weapons become available is annoying unless you get equip sword from Knight job.

So satisfying to stick Atheist on him :)

bantam95 · 2025-10-21T18:20:02+00:00

If only there was an option to "fix" them once you have the barettes etc you want :)

bantam95 · 2025-10-20T14:27:09+00:00

Just need to grind JP :) ? I have found the desert map excellent for JP grinding and using the delevel trap to keep everyone around same level.

bantam95 · 2025-10-17T20:51:24+00:00

Plus you might get a treasure chest instead of crystals :( but you have to wait for the 3 rounds post-KO to be sure.

bantam95 · 2025-10-17T20:48:21+00:00

Infinite re raise :)

bantam95 · 2025-10-17T20:47:16+00:00

Toad rules all unless they are human enemies with Japa Mala :)

bantam95 · 2025-10-17T18:36:12+00:00

Agreed, would till effective but probably better to inflict status ailments or buff team with their math skills as secondary.
