This battle system is incredible. I am absolutely in love with this game, I think I'm going gay for it. It's seriously a dream come true of sorts for me. I would have imploded from excitement as a kid if I played it way back. That first griffon side-mission is so crazy fun, and not to mention the bosses have been an absolute gas so far. Very high hopes for rest of the game and DLCs with very high excitement and wonder. Team Ninja is my top 4 working devs alongside FromSoft, Itsuno's team at Capcom (currently toiling away at Dragon's Dogma 2), and Nagoshi-san (Like a Dragon franchise).Played for 5h now. Why did they not use this battle system in FF16, is much more fun.
Did you know that you can steal his detonation move and then detonate his circles yourself so that they don't do damage to you?I am furious. That big fat fire/water blob boss you fight is SO obnoxious. I am not going to fight him again until I get massive elemental res but it's unbelievable. You can't avoid all of his attacks! I swear, you're GOING to get hit. I block, and because it's elemental, I get hurt. It's unreal. I cannot dodge it because he poops those little fire/water circles EVERYWHERE and then speedruns over to you. I'm so pissed. I get him down so far. I know I will get him eventually and I will laugh at this but it's really retarded and not very fun. But I must do it for the dragon king.
Oh no kidding, that is what that does? Nice, I never noticed. I just saw him get damaged. But I was whining over nothing - I just needed to level/grind more (which is kind of annoying) and boost my resistances to fire/water. I also put fire/water res on my shield and got the +40% all res from the rat tails for both Assassin and Paladin. Just beat Bahamut. I have come a long way even from yesterday, finally got the ball rolling.Did you know that you can steal his detonation move and then detonate his circles yourself so that they don't do damage to you?I am furious.

There's a very short level where all you need to do is run to the end and kill 1 tentacle monster to win that gives a lot of them at max level. But why do you need that? I don't remember having to grind them. I did run that mission a few times to farm blessed gear in DLC3 but that's it.I am angry at this game again. Anima crystals cost HOW MUCH dragon treasure?! And I have to upgrade all my gear just to contend in the level 260+ areas despite beating Bahamut just fine. No, I'm good. Shove it where the sun doesn't shine, Team Ninjer. What a ridiculous decision to have them cost so much. I need to grind now which is not enjoyable. Anyone know where to farm anima crystals? Saw someone on the net say The Rebel.
I want to upgrade my gear and it costs a fortune. I am using the Warrior of Light set you get when you start the DLC. The bonus to Life from the Monk part and fact it revives you from the Mage is why I want to keep using it but maybe I can try other gear. Really just don't want to lose that giant life bonus...There's a very short level where all you need to do is run to the end and kill 1 tentacle monster to win that gives a lot of them at max level.

Have you unlocked the rifts yet? Usually you can get much better gear with 2 affinities by just playing through those.I want to upgrade my gear and it costs a fortune.

A lot of the bosses in the game actually give you opportunities to unload on them you just gotta know when it's safe. Also they give you a bayonetta-like time stop that you can use to combo bosses to half-death but that comes much later.Decided to pick this up as I was craving some action gameplay and everyone is raving about it. Feels like I'm playing a fighting game where I fight multiple enemies at once, with more hp than my, infinite hyper armour, and everything that isn't a jab is so unsafe I may as well just assume I'll get countered by a ToD. Still playing for some reaosn though.
Seriously though, what is with team ninja and making 95% of the moveset given to the player utterly pointless except for styling on trash mobs? When the flying fuck am I ever going to do a 6 hit combo on a fucking boss, and why would I need to do a 6 hit combo on anything weaker that is going to die in 2 hits?
I generally avoided boss rush missions because my build sucked balls for 99% of the game and it was way too easy to for me to die to some random bullshit and start all over.Ok I took care of the one extremely easy 260 mission on Terra Tortura. Only 3 missions left, 2 side and 1 main...Then I think the next DLC will start. So close...Any tips for fighting the double whammy bosses on that one 260 mission, the one where you fight the chimaera and then the big fat behemoth beast? I think I just need to get my dodge times down better and need to endure the chimaera. I have 1 potion left if I am lucky for behemoth which is absurd. So maybe if I can carry in 2 or 3 which I just do not see as possible. It's so ball bustingly hard, it's getting obnoxious.
