Stendhal despite it being nerfed. I did 6.4 million damage yesterday .... And found an upgrade material for my weapon to level 33 (max) and it added a LOT of damage, so my damage output will be way higher now. Couldn't test it yet, had to sleep at least a few hours.

Okay tested first strike again with petank. Here's what it seems goes down oddly.

You start with whoever has first strike. Then the order goes by highest speed, not order of party.

And then your first striker gets to go again last.

Havent gotten to unlock any of those skills yet. Coming up on act 2....sadly I know what's coming here in a second....but I had a feeling it was going down this way.

I'm curious, what buffing can lune provide maelle before she goes last? Verso can do powerful or mark. But lune doesn't have any of that shit so far for me.

For my team, Lune just applies burn, which then buffs Maelles attacks who has a bunch of Pictos that get triggered when the enemy burns.

You are given a picto after Act 2 that removes the damage cap. Not sure how you missed that.

Beat Simon and the Gestral Beach challenges tonight. Just have the Endless Tower and the grind to 99 for the platinum.

Percée is very strong early on, and will consistenty hit 9999 damage, particularly if the enemy is marked.

Yeah but isn't that 9ap? You can apply that off the rip?

You get there over the course of the game when you find the necessary Pictos, explore the optional areas! One gives you two turns in a row, three Pictos that give you +1AP each when starting a battle, one that gives you +1AP every turn, you have Pictos that give you AP for a base attack or on applying burn etc. So it's easy to get to 9AP in the first round of attacks.

Maybe I'm just fucking stupid......but it feels like maybe the game isn't actually over even though it said I was in the epilogue......

I just got the skill automatically for damaging above 999999 so really confused. In the event I haven't ruined the game this will be a fantastic happy accident. Otherwise will revisit a new game+

lol you just started Act III then
 
Thank you <3 I was really miffed I had ruined an already GOTY-worthy epic of a game speed running through it

To be fair I hate this same thing with Nier: Automata....It's not good storytelling if you're confused

I thought it was an effective tool to catch you a bit off guard.

In other news, upgrading a weapon from lvl 32 to 33 is HUGE, like it added 2.500 or something to the damage. I guess I have to find the other upgrade materials for that, only had one and upgraded Maelle, so her damage should go through the roof. Which is desperately needed, stumbled across some absolute motherfuckers like that Simon cunt.

Why do you keep saying 999,999 when damage caps at 9,999 in Acts I and II?
 
So after a long, arduous ordeal, I finally have my copy of the game. GameStop sent the wrong one, I called them, they sent me an email with a supposed drop off code for Fedex but every time I would go there Fedex refused it. So I'd get back on the phone with GameStop and they'd say, "Gee, we can't figure out what's going on. Try going back again." So I went to a different location and got turned away there too. So I called GameStop and told them look, I'll mail the fucking thing in just give me an address and they refused to. They wanted me to attempt at Fedex again. So I told them how about I just keep the Fatal Fury game and buy the one I wanted elsewhere and never buy shit from you again? So that's what I did. Ordered the game from Amazon, cancelled every single preorder I had at GS. I am DONE.

Last night I'm checking emails and I got this from those motherfuckers:

"Hi!

Thank you for circling back, I can see where the issue is now, I will file another request for a label this time drop off location will be able to scan it, could you please tell me if you've received a fatal fury for Xbox or for PS5 or a different game, if so kindly provide the platform as well, instead of the actual item you should've received, I will file a request for the item you have received instead, and just add the notes that you ordered Expedition 33 for Xbox Series X..."

RETARDED. I will never buy a single thing from these inept mouth breathers again.

Lune also has a weapon that applies burn on every critical hit. So you get 100% crit rate through picto/Luck and then with Double Burn picto the Elemental Trick skill applies 8 burn and Elemental Genesis applies 16. That's 24 burn on two turns, not too shabby. Especially if you have the others contributing.

Clair Obscure: "Gotcha, bitch!"


For those who have beat the game, which ending did you choose? Which did you like more?


My wife and I were in firm agreement that we'd side with Maelle just so we could see Gustave again. Other than that we were on Verso's side. After seeing both endings, I regret not choosing to side with Verso. It was a better ending.

Yeah I just I got that weapon yesterday I think. Gonna upgrade it and adjust my party to take advantage of the burn state.

I've reached the Paintress fight in the Monolith. I really like the combat by this point in the game. Some fights can swing wildly in and out of your favour, but that makes the attention you have to pay completely worth it.

I always liked timing based add-ons in turn based combat. Even going back to Squalls gunblade as an old example. The stakes are just higher in this game. When the next attack could kill you, but if you successfully parry a multi hit move, you can regain 50% health etc. I enjoy that a lot.

I think at the point of the game I currently am, the story is actually the weak point for me. Chats at the camp are all filled with quips, it feels a bit God of War (newer games) inspired. The story can pick up, tho.

I just go back to the beginning. When you crossed the water and reached land. By the end of Act 2, the game just hasn't returned to that dark or hopeless place. It switched to a more light-hearted, adventurous and sometimes even Disney type affair. There is such a contrast between the 2 and I just know which tone was my preferred setting.

The exploration is good, tho. And combat. And that has kept me interested. It's a good game for sure.

Hahahahaha this game lets you wear black face it's hilarious.

When you apply the "Inverted" Picto, your character gets all dark with black skin during combat, I thought it was a visual bug at first but nah they're just doing the Justin Trudeau black face.
 
The map system isn't bad on second thought. Though I wish it had a marking system to remember everything you need to revisit, but I haven't had too much trouble with remembering yet. But I'm just now leaving the act 1 map so I'm sure I'll regret saying that.

Debating keeping verso in vs throwing all three ladies in. Fights have been a steam roll this far. I only have two sciel weapons but the one that auto gives 10 fortune is looking damn juicy.

I'm rocking a female only party and it's great. Map wise, totally agree. Would love to have markers because the map opens up significantly later on, a lot of locations.
 
Finished the Endless Tower and also defeated Simon. I think I'm just about ready to wrap this one up. Probably won't mess with New Game+ any time soon.

I was rocking perilous parry but now I'm thinking that's a steep price for just 1ap extra on parry....double damage incoming just made me get one shot for missing one parry in the combo
 
Dude Lune is such a hypocritical bitch. She's all about protocol and not diverting any time, can't even be bothered to bury you know who....OH but when it came to the famous gestrals, she was all about making time for that to meet them.

Yeah I never used that. Not worth it.

In other news, Maelle has some significant buffs when her hp are low, so I use the ability to lower my health to 1 right at the start and she did over 12 million damage. That was her being the first, without any buffs from the party. So.... The double damage buff that Sciel can apply to party members means over 24 million damage for Maelle lol
