I am fed up with the lack of difficulty or any strategy in the main quest. The last major story fight I had I could have just left my wiimote on the floor and still won the battle.

What does the green bar that increases when you do a gentle flame do in gem crafting?

That is for cylinders. If you have 3 you can pick 3 stuffs that are below 100% and make cylinders of them.

Yeah use Shield for the white talent attacks and Speed for the red attacks, at least that's what I've been doing. I'm not really sure about the blue ether attacks. I'm using the Wii-mote and nunchuck.

Also shield only blocks equal and lower level attacks. You can also use sleep to stop those attacks.

For the red I just stay back and have Dunban draw aggro. My Dunban dodges everything!

Ether is the most difficult to dodge, but I have something secret against that!

The last major fights you had to use purge, so no.

Besides is funny that you are whining about a problem you caused yourself.

Don't worry it will get more difficult.

I am past that, no need for purge.

It is not a problem I caused myself, the game is giving me a million side quests and asking me to explore but i am not supposed to do it. I talk about it in my podcast. Its the games fault, horrible difficultty balance.

How overlevelled are you Vader? I have problems facing more than one black coloured enemy. What level are you when you take on X boss and what level are they?

Ah ok. That actually answers two questions I had about gem crafting. Thanks. Yeah I forgot about Shield needing to be on the same level or higher then the attack. Dunban is awesome.

Is there a reason that you can buy multiple copies of the same arts book that you learn from?

I am like level 40 and they are like level 37. I am usually like 5 levels above most enemies in areas.

I actually played the game in Japanese, so I don't have many quotes. (Dunban is Vegeta BTW)

But here is one

Dunban: Feel the flow of the battle

Riki: I only feel Dunduns scary voice

You should be two levels under or one level under at least. Lay off the sidequests and play the main quest, the enemies will eventually get harder. Then when it gets too hard, then do the sidequests and level up.

But........ his voice acting. I want Riki dead.

I can't lay off the side quests. I got a bunch of new ones with a timer on them.

How dare insult the great RIKI!!!!!

My thoughts on the game in my own words, I do get upset at the game.

The first two parts of the one man podcast should cover it. Iga go ahead and listen.

No, no no. You don't understand.

There is no time limit on the quest like they time out after 10 hours or whatever. There are major turning points in the story where they will lock areas out these are hours and hours and hours apart.

If you want to know the cut off points, it's easy enough to ask me or Iga. Since most of you are at the right stage, you will know that Colony 6 rebuilding will lock out a few Bionis refugee camp quests.

That is the first and very minor one. The others are easy and obvious to avoid. You can progress very far into the story without having to worry about sidequests.

Yeah I know how the timers work GG but I dont want to have to ask what triggers it. Plus a to. Of the missions happen naturally as you fight enemies. I make sure I talk to all npcs before heading out into the world.
