I have a feeling I'm gonna be the last one on this message board to beat this game.
Have you been reading the Datalog entries Rye? I was a bit confused about it all until I read all the entries I had gotten up to chapter 3. Makes a bit more sense now.
So far this game is very reminiscent of FFVII.
The Datalogs helped a lot - I read them since posting before. I'm still a little puzzled, but I think that's how it's supposed to be as you find out more through backstory and stuff.
Yeah that whole (SPOILER)Cocoon being a shell thing really has me puzzled. Do they live on the inside or the outside?
The inside. I figured that was the case to begin with, or that it was like the world in Aion, and looking up at the sky to see cities facing down at me confirmed it. Think of it like a Dyson Sphere, but replace Sol with (SPOILER)Phoenix
METAL.....GEAR?!
The Datalogs help a lot. I've been reviewing them occasionally throughout the game for what it says about the Events; it not only says what happened, but sometimes even goes into more detail than something a character said.Originally Posted by Rye

It still feels like the story so far is all exposition, but it is starting to get interesting.
Now how the smurf do I beat (probably mid-to-late Chapter 4 spoilers but not really that big of a spoiler) (SPOILER)Odin?
I've had some success with Ravager-Medic switching between that and Ravager-Ravager but god damn. I swear I filled his Gestalt bar and hammered the relevant button and nothing happened.
yeah, you just need to focus on medic and ravager for that battle. Took me 4 tries.
Rye and I figured it out and got it on the second go. Basically you need two Paradigms. Medic-Medic and Ravager-Ravager. When he's doing anything at all, you want to be Medic-Medic. It won't build things up much but it will keep you alive. When he does his shield move, however, switch immediately and hit him with everything you've got until he starts putting you in danger.
Things have gotten a lot funner with paradigms. The battles keep getting more interesting.
And yes, the crystal lake is absolutely gorgeous. I'm still there at the moment.
I'm a bit lost with the (very small mid chapter 4 spoiler) (SPOILER)weapon remodeling part. is there any way to know what attributes you're applying to a weapon before you actually do it? or is this a trial and error sort of system?
I have no idea. I've just been pimping out my weapons with whatever I have.
I see. But does that mean (SPOILER)falling through the Hanging Edge into the lowland lake Bresha means I'm on Pulse now? Or is that just the lowlands of Cocoon? Everything else I'm getting except this Cocoon/Pulse deal.
Raistlin:
oh nevermindI think I answered my own question when I actually tried it out. Seems every item just gets transformed into EXP, but I read something about some items giving you a negative bonus. I haven't run into it yet, but hopefully there's some sort of warning before it happens.
Odin is badass.
