I can't tell if I'm more angry or disgusted. This run took over a full hour. It's only Challenge 2, too. Everything was safe and stable, I felt invincible, until Galactic Rift stopped me from being able to use anything that cost more than 1 BP for a single turn, which apparently was all it took to completely fall apart and lose my party.
Putting this fight back on the shelf until the next book's stat cap.

Mini DPS checks. For example, by like turn 15, if you dont do enough damage to break him out of caution he will do 3 quintuple combos with the potential of multiple attack boosts. Pretty nasty if you play too defensively.
He goes into caution it every odd turn, so time your OD bursts for those turns.
He will also do defy weakness, buff break, or both somewhere after his first combo, and follow up with more combos. If he does Meditate into status attack, just pray it isnt paralysis or insta-kill.

Odd turns, eh? Thanks, looks like a job for Kihachi with Labelle. Out of your pic, I only have Jo+Anya (no etoile d'or), so I'm gonna have to figure out my own way.

This was rough, he was doing multiple QUINTUPLE STRIKES by the end. Don't think I could've lasted a turn past this one.

Mama and Hilda banners after the maintenance

were the matriarch and thorpe ever seen in romancing saga 3?

>>1415100
I will probably pull for Mama since I miss using her. She used to be one of my most used chars but I missed her last 2 styles. Other than that, I think there's six banners in this batch and the other 5 are probably skips for me. MAYBE I can save up for Creator and Apollo, we'll see.

Oh yeah, and records book #4 is coming out too!

>>1415114
Unless you count the image in the opening cinematics, no.
RS3 takes place 300 years after the Matriarch's time, you don't see either her or any of her boytoys, they're all long dead, though you do hear about some of them.
Thorpe wasn't really a character before Emperors SaGa though, he's not mentioned in the game, same with Ottoman and Vassault, you do hear about Hilda and Ferdinand, iirc Paulus is briefly mentioned and of course, you do hear Dora's story, the Minstrel himself tells you all of that.

>>1415100
Man the Matriach banner looks loaded. It feels like the decisive winner to me.

>shitting banners at light speed while not giving any fucking jewels
>insane powercreep
>retarded boss fights
Game's been rolling downhill since they decided to "catch up with JP".

>>1415286
Eh, it's not particularly great, neither of the banners are particularly great.

Mama's alright but her stat buffing is ironically so high it will easily trigger boss cleanse and other anti-buffing measures like Ludwig/Evelyn's punishments, having a replenishable party heal is still very good but using her will be like walking on eggshells since everybody can stack buffs now, it's best to wait for the next Mama if you want to update her.
Thorpe is still useless, he's mediocre support and doesn't really bring anything valuable to Axes even though GL is trying to make him a Nemesis/Armand lite, hard skip.
Paulus is actually a good debuffer now, but kinda niche and soon to be obsolete outside of DEX niche I guess, also Tatyana draws near so that means death for the average club style since she's simply that good, overall still decent-ish for series limited content.

Hilda's okay as far as rapier styles go, she's a good cover tank, but the recent Swift kinda jeopardized the sector by being Kihachi-lite, he can kill shit so fast that Hilda's niche is compromised, still good for series limited challenge stages or if you need a cover tank though.
Vassault is the best Cold AoE farmer in the game, no questions asked, he almost redeems these banners by being the twins but for Cold, problem is most enemies that are weak to Cold are also weak to Pierce so...
Ferdinand is actually pretty good slash/pierce DPS now? S1 is still very risky to use but having up to 3 Star Rush chases is not bad, problem is the extreme buff stacking can still trigger boss cleanse/counters so I don't know how good he is in practice, also Tomoe still mogs him hard when it comes to stable Pierce DPS since she's nowhere as volatile or risky to use.

Overall I'd skip unless you really like Mama and the Matriarch Rangers.

>>1415364
Man, I feel silly talking about how I was gonna pull for Mama last night when today I realized this isn't even the Mama style I was looking forward to; it's the next one. Probably gonna skip both banners. What's the point of Mama's huge party-wide stat buffs if all the hardest bosses just remove your buff either every turn or every other turn?
>also Tatyana draws near so that means death for the average club style since she's simply that good
People have been hyping Tatyana for months now, what makes her next style so good?

>>1415401
>What's the point of Mama's huge party-wide stat buffs if all the hardest bosses just remove your buff either every turn or every other turn?
The idea is to have her be the only stat buffer in the team and time her buffing so you don't incur into penalties, it's the standard buffing strategy really, the problem is that nowadays most of your styles have some sort of self buffing that stacks and triggers cleanse counters so buff timing becomes more frantic.
It's especially dangerous in fights like T210 where bosses go apeshit if you buff beyond a certain threshold, Tomoe alone can stack her buffs so fast she can trigger all of the punishments from both Ludwig and Evelyn on her own at round 3, the idea with Mama is that again, she's the only one on buffing duty, but the application is rather limited in practice and only useful for a handful of comps, she's basically a more stable PWR for spears, not bad but in some fights you have to be really careful with your buffing.
Also do not forget that Cleanse doesn't mean much if you can stack buffs after the Clease, buffs aren't useless, but you can't just blindly stack buff like you used to in Y1/2, you need to learn the rhythm depending on the fight.
>what makes her next style so good?
Her S3 and a passive.
It's a guaranteed 3 hit D power attack that gives her ATK enhancement (L) WITH EVERY HIT, and if her OD gauge is full, she lands a Weak attack she chases with TWO MORE S3s, but the fun thing is that this OD gauge passive gives her a double chase for two rounds every single turn she's in a full OD gauge.
That means that from round 2 onwards Tatyana chases with FOUR S3 every single round as long as you don't use your OD gauge, this is an unrelenting 12 D power hits and every hit stacks ATK enhancement (L) on Tatyana which cannot be cleansed either, meaning Tatyana deletes anything weak to Blunt.

>>1415364

Hmm, the latest T206G might also be good as long as you inherit the OD charge skill from the Omega Body style.
You really need to burst him down with OD, alternatively you might want to wait a bit, I have the feeling they're going to push Tatyana while this challenge event is still up, if they push Tatyana she will singlehandedly obliterate the funny skeleton man.

>Dragon Blood Vitality ad infinitum
Shieeeeet, what'd you guys use for Dragonlord? My Julian is pretty much invincible, but the boss' health bar no longer moves so I think I'm gonna hit zero damage per hit soon even with being able to buff myself to the max. Really wish this thing was weak to slash or cold so I could use Kihachi.

>>1416075
Doesn't seem worth to me since it's too hard to kill the mobs with more than double the normal hp. Merlot-Syrah couldn't one-shot the first one I came across (aoe pierce weak), so I'm gonna grind the regular boss stage since I can one-shot it while still bringing 4 trainees. Maybe once everyone's stat capped I'll try farming challenge, but by then all the stages will be level 99 anyway so there's no point now that I think about it.

Welcome bro. Yeah, despite this game having the single largest disparity between the profits of its JP version and the profits of its global version of any mobage, Squeenix or otherwise, I've ever seen, this game is in a very unique position where it's the main advertising platform for the SaGa franchise outside Japan. Gaijin are picking up and buying their games for the first time simply because of this mobage, all but securing its safety as the gateway to the rest of the planet outside that little chain of islands.

If you're still here, this video is kind of like a beginner guide for the current state of the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtYWTSMVWq8
There was a massive(ly good) overhaul of the game 3 months ago and this vid covers all the core features and what you'll be doing most of the time (free quests).

As for banners and rerolling, focus on the Matriarch banner, the first banner that pops up if you hit the summon tab right now. Matriarch is the #1 target, she's the best buffer in the game, but Paulus is also a good #2 target as one of the best (maybe the best) debuffers in the game and even the consolation prize, Thorpe, is like a poor man's Julian (best tank) and even being able to be compared to a god like Julian is a big compliment.

Thanks, and now here's the Dragonlord clear. Zhi Ling is way better than I originally expected, the pierce downs helped Julian's counters a lot while dishing out prime damage herself, and Matriach spammed Saga Balloons. I wasted so much time messing with Shadow parties when pierce is perfectly fine (although Roc+Rouge+Igomahl is insane damage, there wasnt enough protection). This win was less of a fluke.

I genuinely don't understand this game anymore. So they keep releasing content that's seemingly made for years into the future where you have double the HP and stat caps?

I slowboated Alv with my (failed) Firebringer team of Firebringer, Anya, Esper Gal, White Rose and Alkaiser on the first try (pic related). It was a really dumb team to use because it took for-fucking-ever but I was initially just scouting out her mechanics and it turned into a clear.
Scher uploaded a clear nuking Alv down in 3 turns I think with Urpina and Kihachi, the other clears I've seen all use Matriarch just like the Dragonlord and Abyssal Naga clears.
A lot of stuff comes down to stacking shit tons of defensive layers this these days. For example, my team was on like 8+ layers
>Anya gives permanent defense up stacks to the party
>Anya gives a passive defense boost
>Anya's S2 gives a stacking active defense boost
>Esper Gal's chases give more defense boosts
>White Rose has scrumguard
>Alkaiser's S3 gives more stacking defense boosts
>Between Alkaiser and White Rose they can almost permanently maintain their S2 defensive buffs, meaning the party always either has a very large guard up or a medium guard up+medium defense boost
The bloated hp is a huge pain though, I blame Kihachi. Everything released on global is currently beatable with what global has, but you can get fucked pretty easily if you're missing a few styles. I'm currently hurting for not having Liz or Mama, but once I get Mama I should be able to beat the 4 bosses I'm currently stuck on.

>>1418904
man you're using kihachi in a comp and formation that completely neuters her and you're blaming it on the game
Alv is a joke, the first phase is a complete paper tiger that is fully reliant on her hitting you when you can stack multiple evasion buffs on every round, for every single buff layer she can stack you can immediately cleanse and debuff her to the ground and she can't do anything about it.
She's only vaguely dangerous in phase 2 but if you have Kihachi or Hippo she literally can't live long enough to actually get there because you can stack ungodly damage with 32 multihits that can benefit from stacking things like Sunder for every hit, of fucking course if you run something stupid like a Kihachi comp with a formation you have zero business running and completely random support you're gonna have trouble, but that's on you

Sirius is even better now, he's pretty pullworthy actually if you want a party support+counter tank, he's probably better than Julian outside of the lower damage.
Maka is more stable in her DPS routines due to her chase being upped from 37% to 50%.
Touji has more consistent BP cycling now iirc.

Pretty decent banners, Sinon and Pamela are still pretty mid though, but Sirius, Touji and Sothis are worth it, Sothis is also still an amazing farmer that doubles as solid Dark/Slash DPS on Saruin comps.

>>1420940
You're killin' me bro. The drought's got me at a constant state of zero jewels, every 300 goes toward Mama. At 12.6k medals now, so just under 30 more pulls to hit pity. Still haven't gotten Paulus either so I'll likely have to skip him entirely when I pity Mama.
That said, congrats though. Nice to see not everyone's getting fucked over constantly.

Jesus fucking Christ, what an absolute goddamn nightmare. There's no way we're getting 6000 free jewels in the next 3 days because spiral always resets at the worst time for me, so I had to use the $25 gift card a friend gave me as a late Christmas gift and buy the last two ten pulls to pity Matriarch. Ichi-P wins again, now he can buy himself a fancy new coffee.
To add even more salt in the wound, those two paid only ten pulls with guaranteed no off banners? I actually did get a single SS style: my third fucking Thorpe. Goodbye Paulus, you must be left behind. Once I grind up Mama's buff overnight, I'll finally be able to play the game again for the first time in 12 days. Back down to zero, time to save for the prefecture collab around the corner.

Mama's rampage continues.
I wonder if I could even beat Firebringer with her. I have never, ever found a comp I could copy for Firebringer. The closest I've come is a clear I saw on the day Mama came out, with Anya, Orlette, Mama, Hippolyta and Shirei in Seer's Focus EX. Unfortunately, that clear relies on Paean of Heartthrob inherited from Valentine's Mama which I don't have, and the guy says without it you'd need to add an extra INT debuffer to replace Matriarch. But without the host of other things Mama brings, I'd likely be fucked. Still gonna give it a try though.

>>1423082
How are they prebuffs?

>>1423083
We have no info on the next two banners.
But if you or anyone else want a tl:dr; on how they were in JP
>Gerard
A more defensive Mama without the party heal, focuses on stacking defensive buffs and has a set of random ST ATK/DEF enhancements.
>Wagnas
OD battery/support, stack his skill 2 until round 4 to give enormous ATK/DEF enhancements and OD charge on OD.
>Noel
Has Edel's (EDEL DOKO!?) skill 2 that lets him charge OD to 100% in one round, follows up with a lot of chases on OD, simple and effective Slash/Heat DPS, doubles as a competent party healer if you inherit the skill 3 from his previous style.
>Subier
Basically Hyppolita but for Cold/Pierce, OD DPS that works on passive stacking, kinda redundant on the Cold side if you have Kihachi, redundant on the pierce side if you have Swift, but a solid alternative to both if you missed them, Subier's only true weakness compared to Kihachi and Swift is that he can't abuse Sunder stacks as much as those two since he spams big single hit SSS nukes instead of multihits, but he also gets a large Pierce+Cold ATK enhancement with each nuke so the difference isn't as big as you'd think.
>Dantarg
Amazing Farmer for Heat/Pierce/Blunt, a must if you have missed people like the dragon loli or Tomoe.
>Bokuohn
A pretty solid INT/AGI debuffer for the modern meta, nothing else.
>Roc
She's basically the previous Roc with a reverse Jo gimmick, but she types in shortswords instead of staves.
Her reverse Jo gimmick being that whenever your party attacks the enemy you stack small ATK enhancements, which is very strong, especially with multihitters like Kihachi/Swift
>Kujinshi
He debuffs EVERYTHING with his S3 but at the cost of 10% of your party's health (which sucks) on top of following up with a guaranteed Psycho Noise+ for more WIL+INT debuffs.
On top of his health drain inheritances he has Cometpants' 37% full evasion passive AND another 25% chance of single deflection which means he can be actually super hard to kill.

>Seven Heroes in global too
Phew, I caught a break and can save a bit before Creator and Apollo. I'm sure these styles are all quite strong and useful, but I'm poor as fuck and must skip.

Haha, time for ye olde buffs
>Gerard
-Passive 2 is given the following:
-Passive party dmg increased from 10% > 15%
-Additionally grants party 25% mitigation
-S1's Gleaming Slash+* has additional Sun element (already existed)
>The absolute state of Wagnas
No changes
>Noel
-Passive 1 is given the following:
-Additionally grants self Battle Surge (1x/2T)* when an ally is attacked
-Additionally grants party 15% Attack Boost (2T) when attacked
-Additionally grants party 15% STR when attacked
-Passive 2 now additionally grants self 25% OD at Turn End
>Subier
-Passive 1 is given the following:
-Additionally increases party's All Stats by 20% when activating an OD attack
-Additionally grants party 10% Attack Boost (1T) when activating an OD attack
-The Over Enhance buff (Permanent) now affects party instead of only Self
-In addition, the dmg buff is increased from 30% > 50%
-In addition, the max limit is decreased from 4x > 3x
>Let's all point and laugh at Rocbouquet
No changes
>Let's all point and laugh at Dantarg

>Kujinshi
-Passive 1 now additionally grants self Damage Block (1x/1T)
-Passive 2's self Heat Up (Permanent) is increased from 20% > 30%
-In addition, the max limit is increased from 3x > 4x
>Bokuohn
-Passive 1 is given the following:
-Additionally chases with S1 when landing an Attack skill/spell
-Additionally has a 50% chance to chase with S3 when landing an Attack skill/spell

>>1423079
>I can barely bring myself to log in anymore.
Well tbf, that's what the game's boiled down to for most players with the advent offline farming. Log in, collect your shit, send the offline crew back out, come back the next day.
Though yeah, it seems like they don't understand how to handle the speed up in global when it couldn't be simpler. If you want to close the gap with JP, all you have to do is double the pace of releasing content and banners AND double the jewel handouts for a certain period of time until the gap reaches the desired size.
Unfortunately, they forgot about the jewel part so we're stuck in this drought where unless you're a whale or luckgod you'll be forced to watch around 90% of the styles and characters pass you by, which makes difficult content harder to do, and those two things compound to make people feel the way you are right now, where you can barely engage with both the gacha and the challenging content leaving the gameplay as a login/logout offline grinding loop that ultimately serves little to no purpose.
>>1423337
Oh wow, those are some nice buffs for those who got them. No jewels though, so forced to skip just like the last set of double banners.

>>1423337
Fuck me, Gerard is stupid good
You can also inherit Still Blade Light for a party heal from one of his older styles
Well there goes my jewels.. again

>>1423337
>>Let's all point and laugh at Dantarg
TBF he doesn't need any changes since he is still a great farmer

>>1423627
I have all his current styles and I've never used him, same for Alloces.
I wish those boys were relevant.

>>1423627
He doesn't, but chances are most people got the lolis or Tomoe already so why pull for him?
With the current JP banner for the Seven I'm kind of reconsidering how useful some of these styles can be.

Wagnas, Subier and maybe Noel can give something to their future styles to make them even better, but everyone else has nothing useful in terms of inheritance.
Dantarg suffers a lot from this especially since he goes back to his boss DPS archetype and this farming style has absolutely nothing he can give to his next style, the next Kujinshi is pretty much this style again but with actual batshit insane debuff+buff stacking even if he's not anywhere as hard to kill as this one, future Bokuohn and Roc also gain absolutely nothing from these styles, Roc goes back to her Staff typing though so I guess she's still kinda worth pullling for Remembrance? Not really sure on this one.

Overall, Gerard, Wagnas, Noel, Subier and Roc are good, Dantarg is situational, depends entirely on whether you got the lolis/Tomoe or not, Bokuohn is solid but can be skipped if you have somebody like the latest City thief or Fuyou.
Kujinshi is also weird because while he's stupidly hard to kill his debuffing is kinda risky to use and at the same time he's not a chase nuker so he can't compete with Judy, Sothis or Roc when it comes to Dark DPS, he's kind of a weird Cometpants with no party support but INT/WIL debuffing instead of STR/INT, he can downright ignore a lot of damage but at the same time he can't put in much DPS on his own and his debuffing routine while theoretically pretty strong also comes with a caveat that is not at all fun to play around, and despite his amazing survivability he can't even play as an actual tank because he has auto-stealth passives, the next Kujinshi is basically this style but done ridiculously well and is unironically one of the top pulls of the current JP banner, which is something considering it's overall a crazy good banner as a whole.

>>1423536
Wow. Forgot he was even in the game.

We get the hot version of Queen? Nice.

>>1423340
I wish they just made the game like that Dissidia mobile game. Generous enough that you can pull on anything you want but also having difficult content that wasn't as braindead as this game. Can't see myself playing this for long since the game continues to go down the wrong direction further and further.

The gacha industry has been built for and on top of casuals. Anyone who played the nippon server would realize Akatsuki cares more about the casuals than the hardcore grindfags who put macros day 1 and gatekept any other people who didn't get to new player level cap every update.

Even the new glorious nippon update puts SaGa game links on the playetore. Go play an actual console game. Spare yourselves from the hell that is gacha and actually go buy SaGa Emerald to actually support the franchise.

>>1423852
You talking about Dread Queen? Is she getting a new style on JP or something? They do seem to be on a RS2 kick.

New record when? All stages are 99, all 80+ characters I use and/or like are stat capped, and I'm almost out of spells to get to rank 99, I'm leveling ones I don't even use now. I don't even macro anymore, this is just from offline farming that anyone can do.

Should I chase for Sirius? He looks good but and I might just get him and go into saving mode until Apollo and Kami comes since he's apparently a Julian replacement if you where unlucky

>>1424015
If you don't have Julian then yeah, go for him. If you do have Julian, well, it all depends on how many jewels you have to spare. Have a lot? Sure, the kid's good. Have Jules and am poor like me? Skip.

It's kinda crazy to me that people are actively asking for gacha games to get them glued to their phones, go pay for an actual videogame if you want something serious rather than a minor FTP timewaster with fanservice for your downtime inbetween work, hell you got actual SaGa games available for your phones too so it's not like you have an excuse if you want more of this stuff.
This fucking game is just a glorified ad for the main games.
>>1424015
Sirius is pretty great but with the way things are going in GL I'd suggest you to wait until we know what the next banners are, just to be sure.
If you do not have Julian and need a support tank Sirius is excellent, maybe even better depending on the context, but we have no idea what's coming next.

Shoot, the latest StrumikGOD is the only axe that can buff break, right?

>>1425298
Speaking of banners, with this set of 7 Heroes double banners, we've reached the end of the current banner batch and are heading back into unknown territory. Anyone have any guesses for what's next? My guess is either the next Saga Prefecture collab (because it's next in the JP schedule) or the Halloween banners (because the weapons from that have been in the game for a couple major updates now). The four skipped banners continue to languish in the void.

>>1425446
gonna guess halloween too. those 4 skipped banners were erased from the timeline

>>1425446
Seeing how Spiral is going into maintenance for the next batch of welfares we're probably going to get the Prefecture banners next, either that or they'll fill the rest of the month with some of the skipped banners (lmao) or make some future banner time travel.
Anything can happen.

>>1425478
>those 4 skipped banners were erased from the timeline
No, but then I'll never get Ronin! They should just put those 12 styles into the viewer's medal exchange at this point, they're about as useful as Paul.
Speaking of Ronin, I was surprised when I first found out he's GBSaGa because I couldn't place him. Who is he supposed to be? He's gotta be from Edo World in SaGa 2, it's the only place he'd fit. But he's not the Magnate because he doesn't look like a demon lord, and he's not the Shogun because he doesn't look like a faggy clown, and he's not Ichigoya because he's not a soldier dude with a gun in uniform. Is he the Magnate before he transforms?

The most likely outcome came true, so I can't be surprised, but it's still got me sweating bullets. There's only been 15k jewels handed out since Mama's banner ended 'cause that's how many I have, and instead of spiral jewels greeting me today after 30 days, we're just getting a big ol' POOL'S CLOSED sign. I'm so parched bros...

At least Creator's banner isn't coming with the first banner in a double set, so I have a tiny bit more time to save for him. Skipping the 6th Byunei style in a row (her 8th SS style so far) plus the very meta and cute Tatyana at a time where my clubs are struggling to do damage hurts, but it's the price I gotta pay for my faves. I wish you luck bros.

Oh well, we're going to get a prefecture raid iirc so that will be some 10K-ish for everyone, but I'm still not going to spend them on any of these banners when we're going to get the Emerald Beyond launch banners next month and the RS2 onslaught is creeping forward.

gonna reach 90k soon probably will save for the hottest girls from emerald

Between reading up on how insanely OP Tatyana is and some JPfag's write-up on the upcoming meta banners to watch out for between now and the 7 Heroes banner JP just got, I'm reaching a tipping point between meta and faves. There's just not even jewels to pull for both and after suffering through a brutal club remembrance fight yesterday, I think I'm gonna try for the loli. That's not the only reason, pulling for remembrance is a meme, but it's just another straw on the camel's back. It took JP six full months to release a stronger dps than this Tatyana, the new Real Queen Jo, none of the damage dealers released after her could even touch her. I saw a calc the other day showing Tatyana's damage vs blunt weak as literally double Summer Liam's and she's gonna be even stronger on global with her damage buffs.
Man, I wish my faves were on meta banners and meta styles were on my fave banners, but going forward from here, they're almost 100% separated.
>>1428241
Lucky, you going for the blonde cowgirl? She'd be my pick for hottest from what I've seen.

>>1428674

>>1428816
can't wait for magical girl macha

>>1428674
The game's too casual for me to worry about all that shit, but I still don't have enough jewels to pull for favorites.
Emerald Beyond banner is probably going to be a double banner too, I doubt they'll fit all six characters in one of those special banners like the recent seven heroes' banner in JP, it will probably be
>Tsunanori (Longsword)
>Bonnie (MA)
>Diva N.5 (Gun)

>Ameya (Staff/Club)
>Formina (Gun)
>Siugnas (Longsword)

>>1428816
>also they could do the diva as a human or robot but id guess robot has more likelihood
They're definitely gonna give her both forms as different styles eventually. It'll be like how the 7 Heroes get both human and monster styles and the 4 Sinistrals get their shadows and their true forms.

>>1428915
Human form is probably going to be a welfare S for the time being, while the bot form will be the launch banner's SS

>>1428822
Just be like me and have favorites that will only get 1 style every 2-3 years/never get another style.

I'll have to pity Tatyana and only get my faves with free select tickets and bottomless pities in June and December from now on.

Kinda glad I skipped gerard with how this byunei banner turned out. All of the styles in there seem pretty good.

So whats their plan with closing the gap between JP and GL again? We're still 6 months behind and we're kinda back on rails. No crazy banner skips or mix ups in a bit

>>1429455

>>1430127
They want to bring the gap from six months behind to three months behind and then keep it there. It is kind of nuts, yeah, that we're still like six months behind even at this lightning speed. They'd have to be dumping 4 banners every single week for a while to actually do what they said they intend to do and that's laughable.

game is considered "uncle" pandering simulator to most japs so it isnt a big surprise they pander to the oldest games more. the time the jp community was most mad was either when they did not add alkaiser to the saga frontier remastered release campaign or when they released another polka and liz during the first gbsaga release banners

>>1435017
I beat it with Matriarch, Summer Anya, Princess White Rose, Jo and Esper Gal in Mystic Line formation. Only one attack is direct I think (Stomp), so indirect damage reduction helps a lot.

>>1435079
I'm getting statused and instakilled in mystic line even with Ki. There's also too much damage going on somehow.
I'm not sure what am I supposed to do in here.

>>1434985
>Dion's finally playable after showing up in that cutscene in Arthur's first event
>he's axe just like I was hoping he'd be
YES!
YES!

>>1435098
The fight was designed around Matriarch because it's one of the few bosses that doesn't remove your party's buffs, meaning you're intended to buff your squad an obscene amount (notice how my team has 3 buffers including Mama herself) to try and kill the boss before turn 10 or 15 rolls around and Galatea gets a huge blunt damage buff and starts wrecking shit.
>There's also too much damage going on somehow.
Who are you using? How many layers of defense are you packing? Are you gearing to resist the elements Galatea uses (almost entirely blunt and shadow, but a tiny bit of slash and heat too).

>>1435098
Oh yeah, just remembered something about the status ailments: there's some RNG in the first 2 turns that could get you affected even if you're buffing. If Galatea uses Lullaby or whatever its aoe sleep move is on turn 1 or 2 and you fall asleep, just reset 'til it doesn't. By turn 3 your buffs should be high enough to carry you through the rest of the fight.

Damn, was hoping Creator and Apollo banners would be spaced out instead of a simultaneous drop.

Liking the buffs they gave everyone, other than Creator who got nothing. Not that he needs anything to do his job, really. Much as it pains me, I might even skip this Creator and try for Apollo first. Feels like there isn't much of a place for a row/column farmer in the era of free quests.

My bad, Creator got some stat increases so he can keep on top of the highest INT in the game, as is tradition. Now I'm kind of torn after looking at both banners again. Apollo seems more interesting and useful to me over Creator, but his bannermates aren't anything I'd be excited to get, while the whole Creator banner is pretty good.
Both banners are likely an easy skip for most players though, I think the next banner that made a big, long-lasting splash in JP was the RS3 one with Monika and after that it's the 5th anniversary banners.

Fug, why do offbanners have to exist? Thought I might've got a miracle, but it was just a worthless Taria dupe from years ago. There goes all my jewels, at least the new book can help me get a few more pulls for Apollo, I didn't expect it to drop tonight.

They're an easy skip for everyone who's not me, it's just how it always goes. I was never gonna have EB jewels anyway, there's no room in the schedule. It'll be cool if it's a simultaneous release, but I'm not so sure global's even gonna get them.

Sorry pal, but this isn't 2hu, /jp/ is two blocks down
>>1439318
Darque got a lot of love in the first couple of years for a MS party member, so it might take a while for him to get something else, lately it seems like they're focusing on adding the characters that are still missing outside of anniversary events for certain games, latest banner was all new styles with Sig, Michelle and Merlose/Myron, the EB MCs are going to come out in barely a month too.
SF2 also didn't get anything for a while outside of a stray Labelle and loli Cody, which are bound to come out soon in GL too, so they might pull a SF2 banner in JP soon-ish.

>>1440018
Shoot, I don't have that Wagnas, Gerard or Darius. Back to the drawing board. I'll probably try using one of the 2 Hippolyta clears I saw, but I don't have the exact teams for those so I'll see what I can cobble together.

>>1441019
Hard to say without knowing GL changes
>Selma
Average Pierce/Blunt nuker with an SSSS chase, fairly okay but worse than any specialized nuker, can inflict Pierce+Blunt weakening though so she's not completely helpless.
>Butcher
Pretty mediocre universal DPS support, probably gonna get buffed since he's an Axe user, he's not bad but you'll find it hard to use him due to hyperspecialized styles or better jack of all trades
>Pale Nymph
INT/AGI debuffer similar to her previous style, grants INT//AGI debuff stacks whenever you hit an enemy, fairly okay but ultimately not noteworthy compared to her peers

>Cody
Kind of a weird mix of party support, ST nuking and STR debuffing, so in order:
>she can grant the whole party a Vampire Link style passive that gives a minimum heal+1BP to whoever attacks an enemy AND a random party member
>She can chase with Insight Needle+ (C power) and has a 50% coing toss for another chase with her Skill 3 (SSS) which debuffs STR/END (large)
>Whenever she lands an attack she buffs her LOV/CHA, which buffs her aforementioned healing passive
Overall she's not bad but pretty RNG-ish, potentially a potent party support+okay pierce DPS and STR debuffer, which is a neat package...but again, RNG is involved in the support part.
>Snowman
Basically Viktor but with Heat/Cold immunity, cover tank that also buffs party END/WIL whenever he gets hit, fairly mediocre even within his niche
>Alv
Big (girl)dick evasion/OD focus Slash DPS with a touch of support.
>Has a similar passive to Mama that gives a minimum party heal and universal stat buff (L), also gives party wide ATK enh(Large) and Def Enh(Medium)
>Can gain mad 1T Evasion+ATK enh(L) stacks through both passives and the fact that her 3 hit S3 can give one stack per hit AND she can use it twice on OD
Overall another tricky high risk high reward slash DPS with a pretty unique approach and potentially great performance if RNG assists you with evasion stacking.

Huh. I never saw the full picture before, so I always thought Hardy was dressing as a bunnygirl.

>>1443187
Depends on who you mean by that, when it comes to the JP timeline the Axe redemption arc started with Tambora, which is coming out soon-ish in GL if there's no hiccups along the way, but only cemented itself with Nemesis, past Tambora all Axe styles released to this day become actually good outside of Aisha still being mediocre.
When it comes to GL we have no real idea of how it will go down, partly because of GL buffs, partly because we still have four goddamn banners that they refuse to release for no apparent reason, one of which includes Armand which is in a very bad situation since he was effectively a beta version for Nemesis.

Honestly the Hardy and Aishaa buffs for the current banners weren't too bad either, so I can see Armand either being reworked or becoming a Beta++ version for Nemesis, but it's hard to say what will actually happen.
None of the EB MCs will use axes so you can write them out too, generally speaking your immediate future targets will be Tambora and Ellen, Black isn't too bad either but we'll need to see what GL does with him, past those there's Nemesis, Sif and Hawke all being good styles worth a pull...in theory, this is GL so JP meta only applies to a certain extent.

>>1443204
Also I will add that currently, Nemesis in particular is basically a meta pick for the axe course of the upcoming new remembrance stage that will let you boost those weapons to SSS, Nemesis is also pretty great on her own so unless GL changes something it's definitely one style I'd keep an eye on.

You can find all of their locations here. It's mostly just tapping on certain spots on certain stages, but one of them requires you to wear a piece of Haniwa equipment and clear any node on a certain stage and the other wants you to wear a piece of Takezaki gear, both can be purchased from the Romancing Shop if you're a newfriend.

Still no Creator, but I got Darius and with his help, I was able to finally beat spiral floor 240.

I gotta keep singing Darius' praises. I put him on my axe remembrance team and I cleared Wyvern 30, Wuhan 30 and Vampire Lady 30, all of which were impossible for me before.
I tried bringing him to Firebringer Romancing and I think he's my long-awaited answer. On the first try I got to FB's final health bar super easy, but then Kihachi got petrified just before she was gonna deal the killing blow. Esper Gal had died to an unfortunate Incinerate+ the turn before and I guess that lapse in WIL buffing with PWR to get her back on her feet plus not having EG's buff break on FB spelled my doom.

>>1444195
Hardy is also pretty good, you can totally stop using Biwaman if you got him since he's a very efficient BP battery+ party support, the only thing Biwaman does better is giving you status defense through his S style inheritance.

just like this game
>devs releases new weapon restricted fights

>devs release garbage bait while veterans fume over
if this is the braindead balance team behind this franchise then this franchise clearly does not know what their jobs are

>>1444528
>I MUST CLEAR EVERYTHING DAY 1
Calm down, anon.

>>1444288
I think spending money on a fully 3D Saga game is a huge mistake. They clearly don't have the budget to do 3D graphics justice, so the presentation heavily suffers for it.

They should really be looking at something like the recent Star Ocean 2 remake, which was fantastic and widely loved by many. That mix of 2D and 3D would do wonders for SaGa imo. Sadly I think EB is going to bomb incredibly hard.

>>1444544
the problem is 2D pixel is getting much more expensive to make so the cheap 3D models are what you get.
people might blame Kawazu for this but the man is even less budget than shoestring. even a gacha isnt enough when the gacha dev needs to get a cut and Square probably demands a cut for their FF and DQ ventures
SaGa was never destined to go big and never will

>>1444546
also adding on but reminder that SO and SaGa are entirely different audiences to boot so thinking some kind of 2DHD would even work is being way too optimistic since the thing that drives most people away isn't even the graphics but the gameplay
The only reason why SO2 remake was received better than 5 or 6 was because 2 was more of a complete experience even if all 3 were still pretty mid and uninspiring

>>1444544
SO2R looks pretty bad though, sticking to the original PS1 sprite art and going for detailed 3D backgrounds wasn't that great, it's not that different from the budget 3D of EB, and in fact SO2R didn't exactly make waves either, it was only mildly well received because it's the most popular enty in the series and everything since 3 has been a disaster in one way or another.

What's fucked about EB isn't really the graphics themselves, those are fine, it's the asset recycling, when most of your playable characters have the same exact models as loads of generic NPCs, in a game where character design was always seen as a priority, it's a bad decision, I know kawazu's still working with shoestring budget because SE is a cesspit of idiots, but he too should know better than to go backwards on presentation so hard when you've already cut so many things people expect from RPGs, nerfing character design in a SaGa game is not good no matter how admittedly great the gameplay is, he's been making games for 40+ years so he knows he can't be too self-indulgent with this shit if he wants the games to sell.

I guess he just doesn't care anymore and wants to keep doing things his own way to the very end, which is admirable in a way but also ends up hurting the actual fanbase for the games in the process, SSG might have had bad graphics but the character design was there, EB has better graphics and way better gameplay but the character design isn't there, and most people around don't care about super complex campaigns or autistic depth in terms of gameplay, the game plays great but it's kind of annoying to play with characters that are generic asset flips, at that point just give me models that change with their equipment if you insist on making everyone use generic costume designs.

>>1444372
>Good work on the clears! Candy and Darius seem to be a great duo after all
Thanks! They do indeed.
