I finally popped the game in again last night and played up to Chapter 17. We're finally getting some plot revealed!! Its definitely getting a bit more interesting, and the fights are becoming a bit harder. I actually have to figure out how to approach some battles and not just run in All Guns Blazing. They really seem to be hitting home the point about the Garuk's relationship with Humans. Must be something to that later on me thinks.

No doubt my fave RPG this gen. You will have to do 2-3 play throughs to get every chapter as some are optional and easy to miss

I was curious about that because I think I went 1-14 then 16-17. Wasn't sure if I missed something or just didn't notice the chapter 15 heading. Since 13 and 14 seemed almost like side quests I thought maybe I just missed one more after those 2. That pretty much clears it up for me.

Made it to chapter 23 I think. I'm either doling something wrong or the last few mini bosses and boss were designed to be super annoying,

Played a bit more last night. Last chapter I beat was Chapter 25, but I think I went right from 22 to 25 so I'm hoping I can find at least one of the 2 chapters I skipped before moving on. They may have gone slow with the story at the start of the game, but its going full tilt with it right now. I'm loving it! Big juicy chunk after big juicy chunk. I'm kind of surprised that its still introducing new game mechanics at this point in the game too. My characters are all in the early 30s now and just learned a new technique for a couple of them. Definitely having to switch up my battle tactics much more often lately as the old "run in screaming and hacking" just isn't gonna cut it for most battles.

Which bosses are you referring to? I havn't notice that at all.

I still can't use the spoiler function so I apologize if I ruin anything for anyone.

The big Shade boss and the few fights leading up to it.

The earlier fights just seemed annoying to me. The ones where you had to stun those giant skeleton things before you get one shot on the dark master or whatever. I found dodging the skeletons attacks a bit difficult and even when defending he broke me out of "glow mode" about one 1/3rd of the time. The first fight wasn't that bad but the second and third time seemed to drag on thanks to being swamped by mobs and dealing with two giant skeleton guys.

The Shade was the first time I used the command feature to varying success. Switching Marania from attacking to healing and back slowed down the battle and I never got to heal anyone who had gotten possessed. Dagbarn ( or whatever, I forget his name. I honestly call him Delita because I don't really trust him) was always so aggressive when he was possessed I always just killed him and I never learned what to do when Marania was possessed so I just killed her too.

Spoilers below if you guys don't want boss strategies......














I found with the big skeletons that you could only block his horizontal swing. For his overhead cleave or ground stabbing thing you had to use your dodge. So as soon as I saw him prepping a move I'd hold block, once it was apparent which move it was just start dodging around. This also put you in a great placement to hit him from behind while Dagran (I also don't trust him) fights him from the front.

For the Big Shade I used command a fair bit too. Leaf spell with Marania and then pummle him until it wears off. Knock his skeletons off the ledge quickly before they wander inland (if you're quick its super easy), then command Marania to cast a heal circle. Use gale on the heal circle and it'll disperse it so that Dagran regains control of himself. Repeat until you've slain the shade. If you've got Dagran with you its pretty quick since you guys can chain attacks really easily on the Shade.

Did you do the fight in the sea cave with the Kracken? That one was interesting.

It definitely picks up from there on out. I'm enjoying it a lot more now that during the first 10 chapters.
