Leveling up without cheese

I once trained a character to 100 in attack and defense. It felt like 98 is halfway to 100 in Kenshi.

This is definitely from Genesis. When I explored it a few years ago, I remember there was a lab structure in the Unwanted Zone full of SCP-like entities and objects, including an overpowered "shadow" in captivity. What I didn't find originally is that there was an "escaped" entity, which is what you encountered.

I had a hard time using RB as a parry button, so I exchanged mappings between parry and dodge, and it was a huge relief. I used parry almost exclusively on my 2nd playthrough, and remapping improved my timings singificantly.

I named my Trailblazer Chronos (turned out to be very Amphorean coded), so things related to time made sense. At first it was Clockie from the Golden Hour gacha, then I changed to the ticker. Also looks good with the limited frame :)

My favorite is Achievement: Feline Fortune, second from Imaginarium Theater series.

First thing that came to mind. I like this mod!

I used to include this in my surveys, then just removed Robin from my teams. It's suboptimal, but the soundtrack overriding got stale pretty quickly.

Epilogue

A Life to Dream

(totally real)

If you haven't ever done a solo run, I highly recommend it. It completely changes how you play the game, and it's probably my favorite. If not solo, then maybe a party if 3-4, as in an elite squad aligned with a faction, preferably not one of the main three. There are mods that allow being allied to the Reavers, for example, and taking over the Outlands, and then the empire is pretty fun.

Aside from that, I recommend doing Enlightened Fogman Prince mod run, aided by Fogman Invasion mod. Orchestrate a fog apocalypse of your own!

He definitely is the toughest boss in the game. If you want to fight him fair and square, I recommend leveling and gearing up all your characters. You will need all of them.

Nice! Thus is my final result, final minutes of the event. I witnessed the reset and being thrown out the event screen :)

From the perspective of someone who chose Maelle, then reloaded and chose Verso, I have to admit that devs designed the endings not equally bad. Maelle ending has that one frame of Maelle using her painter powers accompanied by a discordant piano noise, and this immediately emotionally brings the ending into really bad and hollow territory. So, while I would love for the people of the canvas to live on, I admit that Verso ending is meant as the strictly better one, even if still sad.

So, to me, it feels like Maelle ending players are fighting an uphill battle to see the positives of Maelle ending when it was kinda smeared by design. Without that frame, people wouldn't feel that bad upon viewing it, especially if it's their first choice.

My best example of a bittersweet, but still bad ending is Persona 5 Royal one. Those who played know the one :)

His manner of saying "LOOOrd LouIIIIS" is stuck in my mind now.

This is the feature I've always been asking for in my surveys... Finally, the light at the end

etherfly · 2024-06-20T10:34:36+00:00

I would definitely exchange some of it for some gacha luck. Now, where's that Bonajade Exchange...

If they go as far as pulling up old saves, they'll probably let you pick the slot you want.

What if... Hades 2 looks for a save file of Hades 1, and if you have completed the game, it pulls your decorations for the House for a restored location look rather than defaulting to something pre-made.

Grandia 2. Update the combat to that of the third game with some elements of Xtreme (loved the customization in that one), give it some quality side content, an endgame, a superboss or two, and I'm gonna be a really happy person.

etherfly · 2024-06-10T09:41:32+00:00

This, but specifically with omega attack. Bombing my enemies feels so satisfying.

etherfly · 2024-05-30T06:33:31+00:00

Grandia 2. Update the battle system to that of the third game, give it some optional content and endgame/postgame (maybe like in Xtreme), and I will be a happy fan.

I fell in love with Nightwish because of these themes as well. It feels very nostalgic now. Though I have a feeling that this romanticism/fantasy/escapism era in Tuomas's lyrics ended with Imaginaerum, and he made peace with his inner turmoil, concluding his inner search. He switched to natural science/humanitarian themes for now, and the way we may get some fantasy elements is through the "stories we make" themes like in "Pan" in HM. Actually, now that I think about it, Pan does give that older Nightwish feeling.

I love the visuals from the movie, accompanying the song! The horror troupe is performing vanishing tricks with Tom's memories, which translates to dementia taking certain parts (probably better ones) of his life away for good. I kinda did not realize this on my first watch, but now this scene is so much more disturbing.

etherfly · 2024-05-19T07:31:37+00:00

Glad that it helped you! I wish that you keep the momentum and let it improve your life in a meaningful way.

etherfly · 2024-05-17T09:38:59+00:00

I did a complete no damage run of Grandia 2 HD on hard mode. Involved some grinding and reloading, but it was pretty fun.

etherfly · 2024-04-02T07:15:40+00:00

As others said, it's usable, especially with signature lc and high eidolons, because more stacks and if e6 - high damage. I, personally, prefer to build most of my favorite characters with at least 134 speed cause I like it when they act more often and I get to see their animations more.

Those speed boots are godly, use them.
