hot dog, i've never seen so many 5^'s being handed out like free halloween candy! they're usually really conservative with handing out free units. would've loved to get tsukiha while playing the tales from the east.
No dupes on my end, so it appears to be fixed. I'd also recommend Iphi, she's got the most overall utility and Shade Zone works for any DPS since she can convert them to Shade for a turn.
Not sure what happened with your connection/Kbin there, but this posted four times.
I'd probably say Iphi of those three. Her blood contract is somewhat ridiculous. I have absolutely gone into fights quite lazily and not sufficiently mitigated damage, or made mistakes that have gotten people killed, and they just pop straight back up again. She does combo with Yakumo extremely well also, but if you can only have one or the other, I feel like Iphi will get you further. Also, the design of her character quest is quite interesting.
I think we should be getting the free multi post-update for completing the survey if you did that, so if your SDE lasts long enough, you could see whether that decreases your options at all, but that would probably be too lucky!
I will say that Sesta is more "fun", yet dependent upon others to more fully bring her out.
And yet Yakumo also offers his pet for use to the entire party, which can also be very helpful, but especially in conjunction with himself to mitigate what would otherwise be his shortcomings.
lol. It kept telling me it 50x'd out and the threads weren't updating either. I'll see if I can fix it.
Thanks for the advice. I did do the survey, but haven't gotten the pull yet. I've been trying to get Sesta to no success. Iphi giving you extra chances is REALLY tempting. Maybe that's the answer right there.
EDIT:
So the multiple posts were in my user view, but still not in the magazine for me. Oh kbin. :]
Okay, extras should be deleted. Hopefully. Maybe. I think...
*Added the ability to obtain the items received upon defeating the pre-Ver 3.2.100 boss by defeating it in the rechallenge. Players who have already obtained the rewards will not obtain them again.
*The amount and type of rewards have not been changed between versions.
I think this means that if you didn't get the hardest difficulty items the first time, you don't permanently miss out since you can re-challenge. However, if you have already gotten them, you can't get them again on a re-challenge. That is, win them once, but no rush.
Oh... that's an interesting interpretation, which would make a lot more sense than the "WFS-speak" Cheshire/Schrodinger's rewards that both do and also do not change at the same time:-P.
I've done SD-148 already, so if you are correct then it looks like I will need to re-do it, and I was thinking that I should hurry to do Time Anti-Spiral as well, to avoid having to do it again a second time, but if I have to do it twice either way, then I suppose I will just wait and not rush:-D.
The catch up stuff is awesome, but I don't have the time to play regularly so it's not as big for me personally. The permanent relaxing of Noaxhis requirements is very, very welcome.
All in all, I'm happy to be seeing regularly update messages. The monthly letter is very nice to have.
I am not 100% certain, but from reading the in-game announcement it looks to me like the grasta halved cost catch-up campaign might end literally today or tomorrow (if it does not continue indefinitely, but I am not certain which is the case:-D). Even if you don't have time to sort through and prioritize and such, you may want to pop in and just randomly upgrade anything that looks remotely like it may be useful in the future - e.g. anything at all that can be shared, etc. - just to be absolutely certain to avoid having to pay double the price for delaying that process until later (which can take many months of grinding to earn the materials for).
Absolutely, although I thought somehow from looking at that on my phone that I saw Sept. 5 or 6 in the other right-most column somewhere. Ah, and here I see it: https://api-ap.another-eden.games/asset/notice_v2/view/434?q=803633726&token=77bae260480d1843d1dfcff3028cebe7&language=en - it was the "A special gift to commemorate Ensemble: Commander and Sheep", that raised the daily CS to 50. Okay, whew, so grasta enhancements are safe until... what are we expecting, mid-October now I think? (at least https://anothereden.wiki/w/Upcoming_Content says "Main Story: Chronos Empire Strikes Back Part 2" is expected then, along with Bell... & Kam... (is this a way we can treat spoilers here?:-P), it having been released in JP a week and a half ago - and I at least thought that those two events were expected to be correlated?
No spoiler tags here unfortunately. I've just been going for the most oblique possible reference to things to cover spoilers.
My guess is that the catch-up will be later than that. Possibly November, or maybe even December, in time for the collab (if there is one this year), which would be simultaneous anyway, so a good event for them to aim for to celebrate catching up.
Oh wow, so a LOT longer than I was thinking... maybe. Thanks for the tip - maybe that'll help me prepare, since as a completionist I am going to upgrade a LOT of grastas, that I will in all likelihood never end up using:-).
Regarding the collabs in the survey, I want most of them! Also added Like A Dragon in the Other section. Kiryu would be an absolute unit, and Ichiban would have a blast with our party of unemployed do-gooders.
Regarding Yipha, her name should have been localised as Aoife, which is definitely a tricky one to get from katakana, so little wonder machine translation has trouble with it, but it would have been nice if it had been properly localised.
I watched a panel on localisation lately in the FFXIV fan fest, and they were talking about all of the additional notes that they receive along with the base text, including details of where there are specific references in the text to other media such as Shakespeare, so that the localisation can maintain the original intent. I suspect that this extent of detail being provided to localisation teams is quite rare, sadly, since pretty much everything in Another Eden is heavily referential, but there are definitely cases of that being lost in translation, and I've seen similar in other games.
Yeah, it would REALLY help out the community if WFS would be more up-front about so many different matters - like if it would host its own wiki, or help out with expenses to host it elsewhere, and more important than hosting costs if it would help provide things like translations into different languages. Or even just the content itself, like the fact that Sesta's Twinblade Wolf is not enhanced by the Enhance Normal Attack grasta, even though I believe that grasta functions to enhance the likes of AS Tsubame's
Ningi: Resshusen, Flammelapis' Houle Trechoo, and other basic attack replacements. The amount of information offered in-game is such a paltry subset of that which they MUST be aware of as they craft & fine-tune the character... it would have been nice to share some of that. Especially since data-mining the game is made much more difficult by the fact that they do not want people cracking it for reasons of profit.
I think the reason that WFS does not offer that is not some kind of conspiracy theory where "they don't want you to know!":-P, but rather that they simply believe that it increases enjoyment to have to find these gems and make use of them appropriately to handle the challenge fights - kind of a meta-game if you will, to help play the actual game. And YouTubers can even make profits off of discovering & sharing this type of info, so there is incentive for it.:-) I mostly agree, and approve to the extent that it is not too onerous to have to do that work - and they even provide the Nagsham dummies to help with a good deal of that, offensively anyway. Although there are times when the coders work against people understanding things, e.g. AS Milsha's providing "the effects of lunatic", where no icon appears on the character, no text goes into the Status pull-down screen, no animation effect is shown for the character (the glowy aura thing), and yet skills that depend on Lunatic boosts still function - THAT is somewhat less than full transparency on their part.:-(
In our case though, while these facts may be buried inside of YouTube videos somewhere (not easily discoverable, especially with a mere text search of a few keywords), the global English-language wiki says nothing about them - I suppose treating it as obvious that the "Enhance Normal Attack" will also work on basic attack replacement skills. Except personally I thought that assumption was always at best ambiguous, and now that Sesta's normal attack does not work, also unwarranted, at least some of the time. Nor did I see this fact in Backy's Battle Tips offered for Sesta, nor in her announcement on Reddit, etc. Which means then that it is not something that the "community" has to discover, but rather each player individually, all on their own. And ngl, some of us really enjoy "theory-crafting", others enjoy direct testing with their fave chars, and so on... but it would be nice to have somewhere to record those observations from the tests, so that others who do not wish to put in that kind of time can still enjoy the game, on a more casual basis.
Which is why I am so grateful to see it on the Seesaa wiki! In that case I did the personal in-game testing myself already, so seeing it there also helps confirm that they know things, which none of the aforementioned places offered. Plus, not only did they go to all that trouble of doing the direct testing, but they then shared it with the entire rest of the world! In a game setting I understand that that may not be so easy, since while many people would be appreciative, others can also be quite a bit... ah... toxic. I am so glad that they did not let that stop them!:-P
And if all of this seems too tangentially related to your point, to circle back around: I started here from what I knew about the effects of a single one of a single character's skills in relation to a single Grasta, but the same ofc applies to EVERY piece of information in the game! Character names, names of skills, lore / back-story, locations of hidden items / secrets / rewards, etc. If WFS offered their own English-language "reference guide", that would be just fantastic, so that we would not have to guess at what Google Translate was trying to convey, in cases such as Yipha's name. Like even just a single table, listing out the character names in both English and Japanese would go a long way towards helping, would it not!? :-D Instead, their website looks quite barren, existing only to sell / promote downloading the game but providing little to no info for after having started playing it. Oh well, I cannot solve every problem that I see, but I did want to at least take a moment and appreciate when I see others working so very hard to offer what they can:-D.
New encounter: Crimson Reaper Ilulu, and her sidekick Limil! (Such good kitty ^.^
the logical and inevitable outcome of a feature like sidekicks: CATS!
bummer to hear about dropping ios 12 support (im not that familiar with ios), but i guess from a practical perspective ios 12 is 5 years now and it gets harder and more expensive to support older OS's as time goes by. apple also isn't exactly famous for being developer friendly when it comes to backwards compatibility.
Yeah, I've been seeing similar updates in other games lately, so looks like iOS 12 is just officially old enough to be too difficult to guarantee compatiblity.
