Been keeping an eye on this ever since it first surfaced, the demo is really good as well.
Trying the game now.
Melusine on Hard is....pretty damn hard. Aeroga basically OHKOs everyone on my team, even Knight Tiz at level 6.

Melusine is the stupid cat in the desert, right? At least I don't remember any other enemy casting a wind spell. It's OHKO on normal difficulty too, that's what I played. Although early on I couldn't afford equipment. The lack of better equipment is the main reason why the demo is on the hard side. The second and third dungeon's enemies are pretty strong, because there are just no better weapons and armor to buy. Luckily you can set the encounter rate to 0, so you can focus on completing the quests there while you gather EXP and JP in the first dungeon. There's also hardly any difference in gains between the three dungeons, so fighting the easiest sets of enemies makes even more sense. |
Those cats are rather easy, haven't been wiped out by normal mobs so far. I'm talking about the special enemy from the third quest on the west cave. It had about 1500 HP, could use Aeroga that took between 300 - 350 HP per hit, most of the time using it twice because it was always using Default and Brave.
Managed to defeat it now, had to buy a couple of Phoenix Downs though. Once I got two Love Powers going (Attack at 1.5x) and using Tiz Knight with Two-Handed, I was three hitting for 200 per attack. Two-Handed and Multitask is so OP it's not even funny.

The cats aren't easy when they get to act first and cast their spell. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, but at least it's a single-target spell. After a few level ups your own party goes first and can kill that bastard reliably, but up until then it's really annoying to get into such a fight; and that's right at the beginning of the game, so you have to deal with it. It's not that they wipe out your entire party, but it's common that they cast their spell and one guy goes down. Abilities seem to be the usual Square-Enix stuff. No balancing whatsoever, so if you manage to guess what jobs will earn you good stuff, you get an early advantage. I think it's the performer that has buff up which passively increases attack, defense, m. attack and m. defense by 5% each turn until you've hit the cap of 150%. Quite useful for boss battles, because after ten turns you can start to go all out on offense while obviously taking less damage than initially. And yeah, multitask belongs to the good stuff, because you get another attack. The swordmaster's counter also has its worth while the red mage's turn tables is a bust, because without a successful evade (which usually doesn't happen in boss battles) you won't get an additional brave point for the next turn. |
Actually Love Spell increases your whole party's P.Atk by 25% per use, so using it twice nets you the 150%, unless you're talking about a whole different buff which I've yet to see.
I'm using a party of Knight, W.Mage, B.Mage and Swordmaster, pretty basic JPRG party, with W.Mage having performer as sub and Swordmaster with Valkyrie, which i'm gonna switch to a Knight with Valkyrie to test those ultra-damaging Two-Handed Jumps.
Things are pretty rough on the forest, enemies multiplying their numbers can really destroy your party on Hard. Until I have access to B.Mage level 3 spell, I'll have to take things pretty slowly.

Looks like a nice game. Made me regret Ni No Kuni isn't on Vita instead of PS3.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Us only gets the game on Feb 7th, so the demo might be a bit far off, since we only had the demo in EU now, three weeks before release.
Edit - Freelancer's Late Bloomer has the potential to be the most broken Speciality in-game. Gotta love the nod to FFV's Freelancer

That is one hell of a game. Did never notice its awesomeness, just heard SE was involved and i thought meh.
Hmm, been weighing up a 3DS purchase this christmas, just wondering how much is this game like FFIV on DS? Haven't finished it yet but I've quite liked it so far, mainly wondering how long BD is and also how grindy it is

It's much more like Four Heroes of Light + Final Fantasy V (at least on it's job system), than FFIV on DS. On Hard difficulty it's very grindy, since the difficulty jump from dungeon to dungeon (might not be the same on the regular game) is rather huge, so you'll spend a bit grinding character and job levels.
