          They didn't just change then names to fanfic shit making it impossible to figure out that it takes place on Mars, they also went and removed sci-fi terms from the game for no fricking reason.

          Like the sixth stratum is the Red Shift Corridor in Japanese, which they changed to the generic ass fantasy "Empyrean Bridge". And they also missed the entire fricking point of the fifth stratum the Ring Forest being a Von Braun ringworld megastructure and turned that into "Untamed Garden" which sounds like a complaint to the town council about an annoying neighbour who won't mow his lawn.

    Why/how was their output so much higher during the 6tg gen compared to now?

      Because it was way cheaper to make games for the 3DS, and even then they were still shitting out remakes

      You fricking moron.
      There is a thing such as lossless compression, you know that right? And even lossless compression is night and day compared to uncompressed assets.
      Uncompressed assets has become a plague upon the industry and should not be encouraged.

          That 4tb runs out real quickly if all games are to be 5x-10x the size they need to be, for NO GOOD FRICKING REASON.

              Stop pushing the uncompressed slop meme onto my AA games then. Let that garbage stay in garbage games. While actually good games can retain compression.
              That you can buy storage media is no excuse for un fricking compressed assets.

        People really don't. They just assume that uncompressed is automatically the top of the line. The best of the best. And they don't think about it further.

        I think this helped me a lot. I will go bucc even when I already have an eagle eye user because I barely have any skill points to spare and I will go lion with that ailment remove limit. I heared only the ultimate super final boss resists almighty. So I will use this until retirement.
        Is there any way to level super fast to 99?

          Almighty is the only damage he doesn't resist in defense form, in attack form he has normal physical resistance and weak to elemental damage

                How much resist is one? 25% or 50%? and if its 50% can you resist it 100%?

                50% per accessory caps at 99% so you literally take single digit damage

      Frontline Arbalist subbed to Gladiator is the classic big dick damage dealer. Both Sovreing AND monk is probably too much support, yeah.

        I had a Arba/Glad but couldn't keep her alive, so I moved my Sov/Mon to the frontline. But since her healing sucked I started leveling a retired Mon/Sov which is now in the backline.
        Also as far as I can tell dragons don't give a frick about phys damage and the elemental arms skills don't apply to skills I think.
        It's a complicated situation.

          Front mortar is so moronicly strong that even if the dragons resist it, by stacking buffs and debuffs it's still one of the best non-limit option for damage. Keeping the arbalist alive is part of the challenge, but it's well worth it.

            I just dont know how. I need Hop to spam elemental shields. That means he can't bodyguard. I could clone him with ninja skill but then my Wildling is more or less useless.
            I think someone said you can get physical resistance accessories but I don't know how to get them.
            What about Glad/Arba? Looks like it's only 25% less damage and way more tanky?

    It takes a little of the pain away from their milking the ever-loving shit out of their latest release. All you see in the stores is another version of the latest persona, a dancing game with the newest persona characters, a beat-em-up version of that persona but off in the distance, there will be something new, eventually.
