No problem!

Yeah, definitely not everyone's thing for sure. I've played through Miasma Chronicles too, and it's a really good playthrough.

You can still find the same amount I believe but they're used to revive dead characters instead of adding more time to the battle since if a squad gets wiped all its characters are unavailable until revived.

Yeah, I always miss something it seems like, but I also get to be concise. The music was definitely something I should have thrown in there.

@@89Games all good. Shorter vids (under 10m) are almost always better IMO.

True, there was a ton of upgrades and definitely agree on the fourth gens. Especially megumi's sentinel. Her upgraded missile barrage was my favorite and most common attack to use.

@@89Games yeah its 4th gens ability to go anywhere at decent speed is excellent for positioning/back attacks (love the back attack multiplier in this game. Makes positionig significant). Megumi is the best pilot in the game. Team up with Juro (who is also one of the top pilots). Best pilot skills. Best armament (high energy pulse lasers). Low cooldown, great dmg with back attack and good range. one of the best passives in the game with forced cooldown device.

I hunkered down and got it done. I think the list format helps me focus more and made this vid easier to do. Yes, the story is fantastic and maybe I didn't articulate that as well as I should've. It definitely reminded me of Chrono Trigger and Cross because of the "time" mechanic and dystopian future. I'm always a sucker for a good time travel or apocalypse story. Like I'm rewatching the Back to the Future movies right now lol.

@@89Games agreed. i liked all the tropes: mechs, kaiju, MIB, multiple timelines, aliens, time travel, post apocalyptic future, and the matrix.

@@TheRobversion1 haha, yeah I didn't think about but they literally through every scifi trope in there lol

@@89Games and IMO the way they balanced it and interwove everything together into a coherent narrative with 13 POVs is why this is one of the GOATs. Also forgot the groundhog day trope with nenji.

One of the GOATs. Must play on the switch IMO for any trpg fan. Top 5, arguably top 3. its a masterpiece.

Here are a few things you could try; 1 set the buff to go off specifically on a non caster class. This will prevent it from being used on a mage. 2 set the skill to be used on the front or back row, whichever doesn't have the caster. 3 manipulate the initiative of your characters with items so that a physical attack character will go before the caster. Remember too that if 2 abilities have "limited" in their descriptions and have the same trigger such as "beginning of the battle" only one will go off. Most results can be achieved through the tactics system, but it may take some very creative brain hurting thinking. At least it did for me lol

Very true. Once you figure out some good teams it can be pretty easy, but you do have to figure out those teams.

No problem!

yep, reflect magic is the Achilles heal of this unit for sure. Thankfully most units won't have this ability so the unit works about 90% of the time even in late game.

Ps for 5 units he didn’t have one so I added Morard with his ice Axe for more freezing but not hitting frozen targets that is key

Also the 4 man version is amazing for coliseum since in the later fights you can just have the wyvern not cast the second dive and you win by default assuming you went first since they never unfreeze, even the Amalia fight (the first one) even those go Amalia herself is immune to freeze, the lords of the deep sucked to fight though I had to troubleshoot over and over until I finally beat it with a scuffed version of the original unit, unfortunately I forget what I did exactly but I do remember Gilbert was swapped for a Rouge with 4 PP

Oh yeah if anyone wants to exact positions it’s the Wyvern in the back left, cleric in the back middle, Witch and the back right, and Gilbert in the front middle (I had Morard in the front right)

Oh for sure this is better. I had put a lot of the items required on the other two units, so I wasn't able to buff my Wyvern unit near as much as would be possible. The great part about the board wipe attackers, is that all of them are viable if buffed properly, especially if you go all out for just one unit. Spreading out the buffs and items for multiple units can give you more options, but does make each of them a bit less effective than they could be.

They aren't board attackers so I didn't cover them, but the quick version is Alain's unit is really tanky with monica and scarlett providing healing while Alain and the two landsknechts provide the damage. Gilbert's unit makes use of the dirty gambler's coin to increase the damage and crit rate of the 2 swordmasters' true strike attacks (originally there were three swordmasters here instead of the werelion which worked really well for anything before Albion), while the viking and werelion provide row attacks. Finally, Eltolinde's unit I used mainly as a defensive unit to hold points under attack, hence the heavy units out front with the the healers in back.

Yeah I've looked at all those before, wasn't sure about them. I picked up Banner of the Maid I think it's called? Can't remember now lol. It a trpgs based on the French revolution. Thought I'd give it a try since it was on sale for only $3. Yes, 13 Sentinels is next on the vid docket. Wanted to finish it first since it's highly story based.

@@89Games yeah the banner of the maid has a nice art style. Didnt like the firing line animation. Let me know if its good. Valkyria chronicles 4 i expect to be good. Will let you know. I dont plan to pick up anything else. I think VC4, FS and a re-run of UO should tide me until the next sale or metal slug comes out. You plan to do some livestream of the battles of 13 sentinels? my style for progression there is i would progress the story as far as i can go per character until everyone is locked. Use the currency to upgrade the sentinels. Then keep playing the destruction missions one after the other until i cant go further. Then go back to story binging again.

@@TheRobversion1 yep, I'm doing the same strat. Knock out as much story as possible before going back to battles. I don't think I'll be streaming this though as I kinda like the idea of sticking to more gameplay heavy series for streams.

​@@89Games yeah i was thinking of streaming consecutive combats. Anyway all good. I'll share the pilots i like grouped together: Team a- juro megumi (my MVP imo. Best pilot in the game) tomi nenji team b: natsuno shu yuki keitaro extras (in case 6 are allowed): ei iori (always together with ei) ryoko renya hijiyama as much as possible if i have a team of 6, i want there to be all sentinel types are represented.

Agreed. Once you optimize your teams, most battles aren't too difficult.

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks! And yeah thought I'd do something a little different. Sometimes I need a break from just trpgs so I like to branch out into adjacent categories.

ditto. you found your next game post-UO already? i went ahead and bought MUA3 and CARDS RPG. finished cards in like 15 hours. snappy game. wish it was longer as it was fun. found someone who sold me a brand new copy for $33. for MUA3, that same guy sold me his 2nd hand copy for $12. currently playing MUA3 now. i've got fell seal next after this. i'll be watching out for a sale.

@@TheRobversion1 yeah, I think it's fun. It's a faster pace crpg with a tighter focus. Each area offers like maybe 2 or 3 side quests and they're relatively quick to do so it keeps things moving. I like the smaller scope as modern crpgs are awesome I think, but just so darn long I lose focus and interest before I can finish them

@@89Games agreed. i enjoyed BG3 thoroughly but it was just too damn long. games likes CARDS are too short. i think the right balance is about 40-50H of gameplay. though tbh with great QOL games like UO, i didnt notice i was clocking in 100s of hours. divinity original sin 2 was highly recommended to me but i cant just seem to push myself to get it because of the hours i've seen people log online on it. i do trust larian so i know it's good but i'm at the point where i want most of my games to be snappy like cards rpg, UO and 13 sentinels.

@@TheRobversion1 yeah, agreed on all. DOS2 is a good play, but it's one of those crpgs that I started about 50 times and only actually got passed the intro area once lol. Tons of build variety, so much so that I got analysis paralysis. Still a game I want to go back to and playthrough one day, but just like you, the length just kills me.

For sure. Reminds me of simpler times lol

Yeah, not everyone's cup o' tea but I was enjoying so thought I'd do something different in between trpgs. Yeah, I've actually taken a look at demos for kriegsfront and codename bakery both before. I've been keeping my eye on metal slug too, looks like it finally has a release window for this fall, but it's been delayed several times so we'll see. Fell seal might be a good choice, but I've also thought of some oldies I never played like shining force since it's on the switch's online service.

@@89Games for sure. i think the occasional foray into deckbuiders, crpgs, jrpgs or arpgs would be good for the channel. whatever you enjoy. too bad the bakery game has no demo on switch. i want to try it out. personally, i enjoyed your RR stream. it motivated me to put RR on top of my re-play list. even moreso than UO, I'm currently playing MUA3 but after that i'm thinking about fell seal so that's why i asked about it. if i dont get fell seal next, i'd probably just re-play RR/UO to save up on expenses at least until autumn. I'd still highly recommend 13 sentinels for coverage in this channel. if i see a sale, i'll let you know.

@@TheRobversion1 yeah, your praise for 13 sentinels has it on my list for sure. I'm keeping the RR stream open too. I think I have too many pans in the fire though lol. I hate starting a game on stream and then switching gears when something newer or more popular comes out. If only I could stream more often lol

@@89Games hahah. i think just finish CARDS 1st. that's newer and it wont be long. then you can get back to RR or do something new. for sure though, you'll have time to slot in other things later in the year. i was checking upcoming trpgs 2024 on the switch and no big projects caught my eye outside of metal slug tactics. everything else is more indie like bakery or kriegsfront or crown wars. so there would be definitely slots for you to go back to any older games you want to promote. 13 sentinels i think would be a quick cover for the channel/dont stream outside of the early parts as you may not want to spoil the GOAT-level story for people. like maybe 1 stream for the early game and 1 tips/build discussion vid (or 4 short ones if you want to split the vids among the 4 classes or maybe 2 with 2 classes each) and 1 general review/thoughts.

Lol, yeah. I don't know what was wrong with me that day.

Well, for me it used to be something like $60 a month. Basically I could buy one full price game a month, though this fluctuated a bit sometimes buying too many games one month, to going a couple of months buying nothing. Nowadays, thanks in no small part to all you guys watching videos, I can use the small bit of ad revenue YT pays me as my game budget but that's about all it can do for now lol.

@@89Games haha. Cool to know. I was wondering if my wife is right and i'm spending too much on games. She gives me the sideeye when i buy. Good to know i'm still spending in moderation. I am good with my budget now though as the breadth of games i can play has become limited ever since i sold my steam deck and ps4. That helps keep on the 1 cheap game per month or 1 pricey game per 2 months timeline. So yeah new observations on cards now that i have my own copy; 1. voltage is indeed xp for levelling up. All stats during level up arent permanent. Its just for the battle. This means the stat icreases you're getting are primarily from strategist or gear. 2. I tried the harder difficulty and it was tough. I went back to normal. I didnt enjoy having most of my team die. I already have 1 guy dying when i get careless on normal as it is. what difficulty are you playing in? 3. Enemy AI tends to go after lowest Hp 1st before lowest def. This means, warrior armor is bad for mr. Muscles if you want enemies to be drawn to him more. Better to put warrior armor on other low hp units like seth, the archer or leon.

@@TheRobversion1 interesting observations on cards. Nice to know how the leveling works. You'll probably be at to completion now since I'm saving it for streams lol. I'm playing on normal I believe. Oh and I know the feeling of being judged for buying games lol.

@@89Games well i will catch up a bit due to it being the weekend. Lets see. So far at mission 6. 2 more observations: 1. the game draws from an item pool in certain stages.for stage rewards. Like i noticed i got offered that cat doll and you picked it. I ended up npt picking it because i was offered gold shield (+4 def) but you didnt get offered it. 2. the treasure chest items are fixed. I got the spiked armor in the same location. 3. defense/offense is badly worded. It doesnt increase your dmg. It gives you dmg reduction + weak attack. Some changes to my deck: 1. like you i've adjusted my gameplay. With so much strength of arms, i pushed out all ranged attacks from my deck. I pretty much just have 4 attack cards: strength of arms (weak), strength of arms (strong), execution (0 cost attack) and TA. why? I noticed the dmg bonus of SOA is ignore def. You'll always get that +5 bonus. 2. i tried out def/off but i am going to move away from it as the atk portion is too weak for my tastes. 3. I removed all defensive shields + potions and just rely on: muscles of steel (best dmg reduction card for me IMO), AOS and plead for mercy.

@@TheRobversion1 makes sense and yeah muscles of steel is best defense I've seen.

Yeah, once you learn how to optimize a bit the game can get easy most of the time, but it likes to throw those moments at you with specific stats to make you think again lol

Agreed on muscles of steel. I think the TA and Fighting Spirit starts a comparable to each other. Kinda depends on the passives you go with early on. If you go heavy on defense then TA is going to win out. Yep, buffing SOP is OP lol Yeah your right about throwing stones. I wasn't even thinking about upgrading those other cards. Definitely will keep that in mind now.

Oh yeah definitely worth $30. Very true on AAAs. A lot of those bigger devs have lost sight of what makes games good and that is heart. Too many soulless money grabs out there today.

@@89Games yeah i'm going with dmg per cost thats why i said TA pulls ahead. Never mind actually mitigating dmg while you're at it. Re-played the demo again and glad to find out that version of supplies is in the demo. I thought it was just the one for potions. I'd say though a 50/50 split with source of power isnt good. I think a 60/40 split is better. Like right now i'm running 4 SOP and 2 supplies. Its so fantastic for the archer to draw 3 throwing stones in the opening hand. I'm running 5 in the deck currently. What i like about it is it isnt a dead card like the special arrows. To evertone else, its still a normal attack. I dont mind as much the desire to monetize if the dev makes a great game, doesnt nickel and dime while also charging a fair price for the DLC. but yeah most nowadays wont do that. To be fair to acquire, this game has great gameplay. Its just that it lacks story whig makes it not worth the $40 price tag. Other games i've seen, including AAA, arent just at the same price but actually have mediocre gameplay AND story. and comparing this to other indies with the same price tag like Capes, CARDS RPG pulls ahead in value because its actually an engaging, fun game.

Yep, that's the feeling I got too

I played the demo of Star Ocean second, but didn't get any further than that. Mostly cause I was busy with other things at the time. Never played octopath traveler 2, but I did play a bit of the first one. I haven't had much success with list videos, though I probably will do some in the future again. I'm really hoping something interesting is revealed during the Nintendo Direct in June.

@@89Games yeah i dont think i'm going to like star ocean 2 past the demo. I dont know if you remember i told you before i dont have patience anymore for open world/lots of exploration and talk to npcs stuff. UO handled it well due to the speed up button (and minimal need to talk to npcs). Same with TS having small exploration maps. Dont see much on the horizon in the trpg space for the switch. We got our gems early in the year. I'd love an FFT reborn or front mission 3 announcement. Crown wars is still on my docket but i think i'm probably going back to older games like fell seal or out of the trpg space (like going after MUA 3 soon). I'm.considerinf playing divinity original sin 2 as well.

I don't think so. There was one time where I couldn't switch equipment either and it seemed kinda random because I was able to do it every other time. I think it has to do with trying to swap equipment between characters that are both in the same unit or maybe both deployed but I wasn't able to figure it out.

yes, it was patched. You can still swap equipment when out on the field, but you need to do so before the unit in question has come in contact with the enemy to initiate battle

I agree 100%

Yep i have that…might need to break it out again. Been a bit…

@@gmoney5772 cool. Let me know how it is. Been hankering for a hero game and disappointed with capes.

Yeah, my ex’s kid is coming over for a few days. Maybe we’ll make another run at it. I’ll keep you posted…

@@gmoney5772 cool. i'm thinking of just getting/playing that next while i wait for CARDS rpg to get a discount. i remember enjoying xmen legends 1/2 and MUA 1 when i was younger.

No, haven't played it. Been a long while since I've played any super hero games. The last was Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy which was an action/adventure title. Played it while had the the virus which shall not be named lest UA-cam put some kind of note on my comment lol.

Yeah, there's a lot of potential with this theme in a tactics game, but Capes missed the mark for me.

​​@@89Gamesagreed. this had to be more creative if they arent bringing the lore and characters from marvel or dc. definitely moves to the back of my list. now do you think i should pick up CARDS RPG or fell seal? I've whittled it down to those 2 for my next. crown wars looks interesting but isnt on the switch yet. tbh i wish marvels midnight suns made it to the switch to scratch my hero itch.

@@TheRobversion1 honestly I think fell seal would be the better value. $40 is still steep for Cards but I'll keep playing and let you know more once I've played some more

@@89Games yeah i think i'm convinced i'll get cards. Its just a question of when because i'm not happy with the price for the amount of content. For sure though, i enjoy the art style, music and gameplay more of cards. I am interested in the customization of fell seal but i hate the art style. How would you assess fell seal's story? thats why someone else told me just get fell seal now since its just $30 and pick up cards rpg later. i am looking at marvel ultimate alliance 3 now as looking at capes made me hanker to play a hero game which i havent played in a long time. Its more of an arpg than a trpg but i definitely enjoyed the earlier iterations in xmen legends 1 and 2 and MUA 1. didnt play MUA 2.

Trying to wrap up my Capes vid now. Honestly Im not enjoying capes. No customization, or build variety. Fairly limited as a tactics game I'd say. They'll be more details in the vid. So I'd say I enjoy CARDS more for sure, though it is disappointing to hear that is short.

@@89Games yeah that what i got as well. Someone told me i should just get and play fell seal instead of considering these 2 then just pick up CARDS RPG once it has a discount if i still like it by then. Whats your take on the CARDS RPG vs. Fell Seal comp? oh and did you see my recommendation in the other comment? Crown wars. Reminded me of wartales (something you showcased before). Its out on other platforms but no switch release date yet that i can find.

@@TheRobversion1 yeah I've seen crown wars show up on another channel I watch sometimes, haven't checked it out though.

@@TheRobversion1 oh, and fell seal is definitely a more complete experience. Very reminiscent of FFT. I got distracted from that one and haven't got back to it yet, but it's highly praised and I liked what I saw in my short time with it.

@@89Games so fell seal over cards rpg and capes? thinking of that route now for my next game (diofield chronicles is at the back of the list for now) since fell seal is cheaper than cards rpg. Maybe if i play fell seal next, that'll buy time for cards rpg price to drop. I tried returning to gloomhaven, RR and UO but i wasnt hooked. Its because i think 13 sentinels still has a hold of me storywise that i need a new story experience to get me engaged. Doing the older games i have for the gamelay alone isnt cutting it for me at the moment. How would you assess fell seal's story? I still dislike the art style/animations of that game. RR looks prettier to me. Haha.
