Garlyle = win
Also, anyone have any level recomendation for up to floor 16? At 70-80ish I still find myself stuck between a number of boss choices to go after, but can't seem to win. Worst so far appears to be the floor 16 boss.
I do think a lot of my difficulties are coming from affinity neglect. Until just a little bit ago, I was at level 1 for all characters' affinities. Would it be a good move to hoard skillpoints to pour into those? I think I'm doing okay offense wise for now, I just am sick of having my entire party get 1shotted by all of these bosses at the beginning or nearing the end.
No reason to have any stat at skill level 1 still, the amount of skill points to go from 1 to just 15 is pretty negligable, it will help alot more than just pumping 5 more into your attack stat which is at 30 or whatever.
But yeah, I'm having bosses 1shot me too, even when I got lots of defensive stats, bleh. Even hong got 1-shot by a physical attack by the mini boss on floor 16, not even a real boss for me, at full health, nailed me for 6.5k ='(. Then there's the real (though optional) boss who wtfpwns me kinda like the 8th floor optional boss does when you first face it >=P. Apparently the Japanese wiki reccomends level 75-80 for that boss though, While my Reimu is 74 I think, most of my other important characters (sans china) are still in their 60s.
Still though it's a blast, they don't make rpgs that are difficult anymore >=p. And while leveling and doing it at a higher level isn't difficult per say, you can do it so that you're just barely able to, and make it hard. Most rpgs these days just hand you the game without even trying to level IMO.
For those who haven't caught on:
Final Patch Release: http://www.mediafire.com/?ntwvtm2wzzu
Yes, this is the official one. You'll need to be running this from an unmodified copy of the game though. But yes, save files WILL transfer over.
(Also I'm writing a wiki page)
That's the translation patch I tried to link earlier but the link didn't copy >=P. But anyway, to re-iterate, don't use this on your game until you can do a fresh-install (save your saves folder though). Unless you never translate patched it that is.
As for the wiki page, cool, If I finish this game and get all the characters, I'll try to help by saying how you do so. But to be frank, I don't have a damn clue how to know stuff like "you need to battle with _____ 250 times before ____ offers to join",
OH, btw, I noticed something about Remilia. I could have SWORN that her curse skellcard only increased her atk and def. But now it increases atk,mag,def,and mnd. Am I smoking stuff? or did it get buffed somehow? Anybody remember how it was earlier on?
Glah, Am I missing something about getting ms heated orange chowing lady on floor 12? I mean do I need to find some event on some floor to get her? Or do I just have to do more battles with related characters?
