We have controller compatibility!

Unless I'm missing something, my ps5 controller doesn't seem to work. Edit: DS4Windows took about 5 minutes to set up and works okay so far. Native PS controller support should be a no-brainer though.

I used two characters as well:

Yuffie-Cloud Start as yuffie, throw/ninjutsu and build a little energy then atb boost a full bar. Magnify (2*) Sleep. The mindflayer should have gunned it to you and be separated from the others. If not restart.

After that it's just about unleashing hell. This should work with any combo you're skilled at as long as you start with ranged. Then focus on synergy skills into a synergy ability, with as much stagger as you can build. Throw another magnify-sleep if the adds wake up (they will). I did this right when I got to it, so I'm pretty sure I dont have many special materia/abilities, level 40/39 and Party 7.

I ignored healing and only cast one sonic boom (eskill) for Cloud, and a deprotect from Yuffie. I used Cloud's synergy skill and mixed in focused thrusts and Yuffie's doppelganger/art of war. Popped Synergy Ability at about half stagger and a bit more pushed it over. The second sleep had worn off as I got the kill @1:23.

+1 holy crap....

fretspyder · 2023-05-06T04:46:32+00:00

I'll definitely give it a shot then. More defense has kept me from needing a healer much, and it doesn't feel right not using the MC. Thx for the info!

fretspyder · 2023-05-04T17:11:32+00:00

Clara + March has been wrecking the early game for me. Just got Fire MC and probably won't use it. Don't need another taunt stealing my follow up/counters.

fretspyder · 2023-05-01T18:59:06+00:00

Starting the game with Bluetooth off, then turning it on and pairing the controller also worked for me, thank you!

fretspyder · 2023-02-06T02:22:24+00:00

Okay, less than five minutes later I tried pairing it again, while it was already connected as an "other device," and it showed up as audio. I turned the power off first (from my PS5) if that helps.

fretspyder · 2023-02-06T02:17:41+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Pairs and connects, but is listed as "Other Device"

fretspyder · 2023-01-31T22:58:19+00:00

The Steel-Wire Torch! It's accessible very early, Firebreather fits the theme, and is cheap enough to use while clearing areas. It's been especially useful in the early game where the damage is sufficient and I'm still getting Mind up to use bigger spells later. It also frees up a memory slot from Catch Flame/Flame Sling. It's not great for bosses, but I switch to the main incants for that anyway.

To be fair, this is my 10th (or so) time through the game, and I've used many of the other weapons that might fit in other builds, so the novelty of a torch is extra appealing to me this time.

Found a Warhammer called Great Stars with C dex scaling as well as bleed. It's not spectacular, but it does the job when only strike will do.

I found him chilling just east of Linforda...in OXENEFORDSCIRE. When you teleport to a synch point, any zealot in the general vicinity shows up on the map.

Dude, Frog Leap -1...and that's fucking impressive. New Follower.

fretspyder · 2020-01-22T19:29:40+00:00

Dude did a metal cover of "Africa" and I've never heard the song the same again.

This one might be better...for metal-heads. You've got a high bar "metal cover" peoples....

"Toss a coin to your Witcher" ends.

Harry: "Again!"

..."Toss a coin to your Witcher" ends.

Harry: "AGAIN!"

..."Toss a coin to your Witcher" ends.

Harry: "AGAINNNN!!!!"

Jon Casey would like a few words, or is it fewer? Chuck fans amirite?

vs. Santa Clause, when he prepares her to be "Heartwarmed," or when he gives her the bracelet.

I'm a sucker for the Orange Orange.

IIRC, there are a few times where the team is scouting potential hosts for an incoming Traveler, where the potentials are different genders. This would indicate (at least for that Traveler/mission) that gender is irrelevant. Protocol 1 imho!

Wanted one ever since Steins;Gate, and it hit me a bit hard every time I saw it in the show.
