Copied from my response in the rantage thread. spoilered for those who aren't that far yet. Be sure to check all directions that each crystal can send you to, and be sure to map out the locations of the crystals themselves to help make sure you don't miss anything. I also use number icons to hel...

Is it just me, or does the 5th Stratum lag the game out? with or without 3D on. I have a question. After clearing the 2nd Stratum and getting Legendary Titles, the guildmaster gives you 5 books that let you raise a character's level from below Lv. 20, up to Lv. 20. Do you get stronger versions o...

I have a question. After clearing the 2nd Stratum and getting Legendary Titles, the guildmaster gives you 5 books that let you raise a character's level from below Lv. 20, up to Lv. 20. Do you get stronger versions of these books later in the game? I am currently at the start of the 5th Stratum ...

Yeh, what Myssdi said. You also get more exp from checking everything, instead of less than everything. The backback thing should be a black-ish drinkable thing, which is bad, as it will cut your party's TP IIRC.

I guess I'll give out my Guild Cards, even though it has proven impossible for me to scan any in, after about an hour of trying 3 separate times. I must say, it is kinda obvious to me why they're not scannable now, though. These images are just 1 image each, not just 2 images put together. That is s...

Just finished the 4th Stratum myself, after taking a day off to deal with clothing moth infestation. Ugh. Was probably slightly overgrinded, as the team was Lv. 52, but the boss went down quite easily, so I'm not sure it would have made a big difference if I was 2 or 3 levels lower. And I hadn't eve...

So I got access to Lingering Scent today, so I tried it out see what it does. It places a buff on all party members that "remembers" and repeats the effects of the last Herb skill used on that person - at a reduced percentage - at the end of each turn it is in effect. If the buff wears of...

I finally stopped being lazy and looked things up. The formula, as expected, was already posted by the guy who datamined the game some time ago. it's just not listed in his guide for whatever reason. Firstly, the following scores are calculated for both the attacker and defender: (AGI * 2) + LUC The...

Oh, blinded can't evade? I can't say I've noticed that before. Have never payed attention to it either, though, since it doesn't seem that intuitive. Also not really having used blind much in any of the games in the series probably contributes to my lack of knowledge in that area. In eo3, I had mult...

Stratum 2 boss is easy(ish) once you know what to do, though it is still kinda BS. For those interested, see the spoiler. Hippogryph will use Sky Dive when its HP hits certain thresholds: 75%HP, 55%HP, 35%HP (roughly). It will then immediately go into Wing Shield(-50% physical damage tak...

If 1F map test in all the games in the series is anything to go by, walls being roughly accurate is the big part, and the other part, is that most tiles in the applicable area are not "darkened" from not having them in your Line of Sight. Just to throw out random numbers, I would say maybe...

I ca't see how blind would bypass the accuracy check, since you can still hit things when you're blinded, albeit at a much lower rate. It would add to the accuracy checks, if anything. I say paralyze made things bypass the accuracy check, because in eo4, the Sniper's Squall Volley has a -60 accuracy...

Making a list of things that were messed up in translation/typos/programming errors, because why not. 1. I feel like Masurao's Foot Sweep & Helm Splitter skills have their animations swapped. Uncertain. Foot Sweep wings downwards from high, and Helm Splitter swings in from the side. Totally seem...

I feel like accuracy/evasion may work differently than in previous games, or Helm Splitter is just weird. Lv. 1-4 Helm Splitter has base accuracy -20 Lv. 5-9 Helm Splitter has base accuracy -40 Lv. 10 Helm Splitter has base accuracy -60 apparently From previous games, I was under the impression that...
