A knight named Cyrus who is cursed to be in frogperson form joins your party and talks about his lost disciple before sending you on a quest to unlock your magic sword and enter the Tower of Time to stop the king who is under the influence of an evil Oracle from messing with the space-time continuum.
That sounds more interesting than it actually is, as most of the game (through chapter 10, at least) compromises interminable fetch quests and grinding though shallow battles with identical enemies in identical corridors using characters that are flatter than what you'd find in NES RPGs.
My advice is just to play Chrono Trigger or Cross again.
I'm out.
None, except that for getting her to 5* you'll need to do a lot of grinding to get her tomehmmm
so i got the 4* version of mariel. What's the difference between her and the 5* version?
Yup, it's a disaster. I don't know if I want to start over since it takes a while to get 1000 crystals.
This game is coming out for Nintendo Switch. Should I avoid it for now and wait to have the full version with out all this star system? Since you will just pay for the game and won't ever have to spend additional money. I want to support them by buying the game. But not this casino style that gives you randomized star characters.

Aside from the second quote, do we even know if the Switch version is planned for an international release?Why do you think it won't use the gacha mechanics? The whole game is basically grinding and doing fetch quest to get currency to do the gacha pull. The Switch version will probably be F2P too. It's not the first time F2P are on console and basically you get free in game currency and items by purchasing the retail version if there is one (see Fortnite for example).

I think chapter 10+ they designed the game around you doing the hard modes in conjunction with the main story more than requiring any 5* units. If you look at the level requirements for them, they kind of fit in between the level jumps between the main story.I pulled 10 characters with the free currency twice now and I don't have a great team. I have the worst 5 star (Lokido) and a couple of okay 4 stars. I can beat the story anyway... or so I thought. I ate floor on a boss I thought you're supposed to lose to because they regularly spam a 1k damage AoE skill and got a game over. I was using my "Party 1" team though which is definitely not as good as my "Party 2". Now I'm kinda meandering around and killing old elite monsters, collecting the treasures hiding behind them, and doing Hard Mode Dungeons to upgrade equipment sets.
Chapter 10 and onwards really feels designed to make you pull paid for the guaranteed 5 star character. I'm at a part where the trash mobs are roughly level 28-30. Every single monster is a beast: super tanky, good healers, spam status effects, hit pretty hard and can easily put my level 40 characters in jeopardy. Subbing out characters for valor and regen has frequently led to fun character death animations.
I'm kind of digging the story and the characters, but there's so much grinding between sections (especially if you're a completionist) that I can easily see it becoming confusing and disjointed feeling for many people.
Does anyone know when or if we're getting a new character banner? I have about 1300 of the free crystals built up now, but I don't want to pull if there are new characters right around the corner.
Always use higher rarity if you got them.All my characters' levels are in the late 20s and my 3* story characters (Aldo, Cyrus, Riica) are all maxed out on the skill board. It looks like you need to do the grindy dungeons 30 times to get the materials to upgrade them so should I swap them out for 4* characters if possible? Or is it viable to continue with the 3* story characters?
This is easily in top 3 of worst rerolls.I'm about to start and I really, really want Mariel since that's my wife's name, but the thought of rerolling is scaring me. I normally never reroll in games, but I gotta have it. Sigh...
This is easily in top 3 of worst rerolls.
Ask wife to change name.
Before you do...
So after getting totally fucked over in my first 10 shot ( 8 3* and 2 4* dupes) i decided to start again to give it another try and welp it was so godamn worth it.
10 pull guarantees a 4*Really liking this. The movement is great and the game is beautiful.
Is there a point in doing 10 pulls vs 1 pulls? The odds look the same according to the game documentation.
I think I'm done with this. I got to the boss of Chapter 12 and I guess I need to grind my characters up more? I basically have 1 character heal every turn and the others attack but they quickly run out of mana and once you get him down to 50% he starts using strong attacks which I can't heal enough. 2 of my characters are level 28 and 2 are level 25. I guess I could grind up my 2 back up guys and keep switching people in and out but I used most of my exp scrolls already. This game took a while but eventually it does become a grind like every other gacha. It was fun while it lasted.
I bought into the 5* guarantee gacha and pulled Toova (I think?) the Tharja lookin ass necromancer. Not my first choice but a 5* is a 5*. Nabbed some sweet looking 3*s that can turn into 4*s and some cool native 4s.
Not very far into the story at all yet, but rigged LDPlayer to use my controller to some success. It's almost like playing an SNES game at this point lol.
It's part of the story.do i really have to go through theevery time i want to go to a differentrift? Why aren't all the icons on the map instead of just current/time periodrift
It's part of the story.
If you don't mind spoilers:
Later you get a time ship, and then all eras are unlocked on the map since "faster time travel"
Thanks. One more question, in the'present' castle there's a bookcase that mentions a door between the king and the blue flowers. I went all over the castle clicking anything that matches, and even looked in the 'past' palace.. is this also something I can't do anything about yet?
Just so no one goes into this with the wrong expectations: Mitsuda only composed the opening and a few late-game/endgame tracks.
And it looks like he doesn't do anything new at all in the future content.
you gotta touch the "Weapon" button next to the "Equipment" one. for some reason, the game divides them like thatMaybe i'm missing something really obvious, but how do you change your weapon? there's only armor and badge in the equipment screen.
