Which game should I start with?

Sorry didn’t know what else to put for the flair.

Hello Octo family! I’ve literally just joined this community.

After playing the FF: Resonance demo and loving it, it’s really sparked an interest in HD-2D turn based combat games.

I’m hearing Octopath is the way to go! So, as someone who has never played a single Octopath game before I was wondering what game I should start with? 1, 2 or 0?

I’m wanting my first experience to be the best it can possibly be and make me love the series.

I know people are probably going to have different views on what I should play first, so detailed suggestion’s will be highly appreciated as I’m going to be looking for what appeals to me the most.

Thanks!

Currently playing FF: Resonance demo!

Wow! I’m currently playing the demo on my Switch2 and I’ll start by saying this game looks SO DAMN CLEAN. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it.

I’m loving the menus, I’m loving the voiceovers, I’m loving the battle animations and that nostalgic soundtrack I can hear is just chefs kiss.

I’ve been playing the pixel remasters and I think I’m yet to finish IV, V & VI. That’s what I’ll be doing after the demo is finished.

I can’t wait for the 22nd, it’s gonna be mad!

Hope everyone else is as hyped as me for this game to come out!

Charge Blade!

My Charge Blade gang! How we feeling about the Boost Bracer enhancements? I’m stoked that we’re getting an offset outside of Boost Bracer if I’m correct!

It looks CRACKED! I can’t wait to experience it! 3 more pages to the pdf? Lol.

Is everyone happy with what their weapon got?!

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition.

I was browsing the Nintendo eShop and came across Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition and it triggered something. I swore to myself that I’d played this game before… then it hit me! I bought it on PS4 back in 2021 and i loved it! It was my first entry in to the series. (Forgot this series existed tbh)

I genuinely can’t remember if I completed it lol. So I’m wondering has anybody got/played this on Switch2 and how is the expansion? I’m interested in maybe buying it when the time is right.

Glad to be back on Nintendo!

So glad to be back on my Nintendo Switch 2! I love the console and the games!

I’m currently playing BOTW, which so far I’m enjoying! (started 2days ago, my first Zelda game) and will definitely play TOTK after that. Then I think I’ll get FF7 Remake as I absolutely loved FF7 (PS1), I’d say that’s my all time favourite of the series, the nostalgia tied to that runs deep.

I’ve also already played and completed DK Bananza and Super Mario Odyssey. LOVED them both!

With that being said, I do love RPG’s that are similar to FF7 (PS1) and platform adventure games like DK Bananza and Mario…

So I’d really appreciate any suggestions that you think I would like and I’ll watch some videos on them etc and hopefully purchase.

Thanks for reading if you made it here and thanks in advance for the suggestions!

It’s time for Zelda!

Hello Nintendo family! I bought this yesterday and it’s just been delivered today. I’m super excited to get in to this game as I’ve heard nothing but positive things about it.

PLUS..

I’ve never ever played a single Zelda game in my entire life! This will be the first time!

Just thought I’d share this with the community!

Game recommendations?

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention I also have Mario Odyssey but didn’t get round to completing it.

I joined the Switch2 family a few months ago and I’m guessing my future self saw Sony’s absolute shenanigans of an announcement lol.

I had an absolute blast on DK Bananza! Loved it from start to finish, what a game! & I enjoyed Mario Kart World but got bored VERY quick like I knew I would.

I’ve not played it since February cause I’ve been playing nothing but MH Wilds on PS5 which I absolutely love, but I want to get back in to my Nintendo!

I’ve literally bought 2 AmFilm screen protectors today and ordered some joycon grips because the cramp I remember getting from handheld mode wasn’t pleasant. So yeah I’m just looking for some game recommendations from my Nintendo family.

Side note.. would you believe me if I told you that I’ve never played a single Zelda game in my entire life. (Grill me here lol)

TL;DR want to get back in to my Nintendo and I’m looking for some game recommendations.

AT ARK CLEAR TIME

I’ve done this hunt with many weapons but my fastest time has been 12:47 with Bow.

I’m super happy to of gotten sub 13’ (2 seconds to spare lol) with Lance! This took me a goooood few attempts. It became muscle memory on what counters to use after each attack, and when to not use them at all!

I quit many times cause I already knew I’d been hit too many times or especially carting, as that is a good 20 seconds or so, travelling back to Ark (FRUSTRATING) lol.

The next goal is to shave off another minute and enter the 11’ realm with Lance 😭

Finally!

Now to build the fully optimised Dragon Lance. I WILL NOT be rolling for both Gore/Soul on my other elemental Lances cause that shit takes the piss lol.

Gore only will do as they’ll just be my generic versions of my optimised build.

May the RNG gods be with you all 🙏🏾

High damage Lance build?

(Random clip of a Lance + G’Lance celebration lool)

As a very proud new Lance main I’m looking for a high DPS build yet still have some comfort skills like sharpness and maybe guard or guard up.

Does anyone have some recommendations on builds that will meet this criteria? Or that you use yourself?

I’ve had a look on YouTube but a lot of them are immortal builds which I don’t need. You can’t cart with Lance as it is lol. Or a lot of them run no sharpness skills at all on some meta bs.

TL;DR I’m looking for a good DPS Lance build but still with good sharpness. I don’t need meta min max stuff that loses all comfort skills.

I AM ADDICTED TO LANCE

Title says it all.

(Thought I’d throw this clip in for my fellow Lancers lol)

What a weapon. I’ve been playing Wilds since it released last year and not once did I ever think I would pick up the Lance… Now I can’t put it down!

It truly is the most aggressive weapon in the game (in my opinion). Constantly glued to the monster and punishing every single attack it decides to throw at you. I’ve mained G’Lance and thought to myself “there’s no way I could main Lance with the absence of the BOOMS”, boy was I wrong.

I’m so hyped to see what the “Boost Bracer” brings for it and also the new attacks/combos outside of that. But honestly, just give me more damage and I’m SET!

Not so much finding the song

But does anyone know the name of the instrumental? Or any other artists rapping on it?

u/FactorLongjumping156 — 4 months ago

Iai Spirit Slash!

Personally there is just nothing more satisfying than hitting the perfect ISS. Not a scratch of health gone. R.i.P to the fellow LS main trying to escape 😭)

LS gang.

u/FactorLongjumping156 — 4 months ago

Hunt synergy

As a LS main I was wondering what people think about who we play best with in multiplayer hunts.

For example Bow + DBs for the fact that they both have a similar counter dodge and probably the highest DPS.

All mains, who would you say you pair up with best in multiplayer hunts and who you don’t pair up too good with?

Just a general discussion to see what people think/have experienced.

EDIT: Yes I run shock absorber in every build. I’m not a selfish prick lol

Longsword + Brace Booster

My first MH was World and I mained LS from start to finish. In Wilds I started on LS but then went through a number of weapons and considered my self a GS main. But once again I’ve been drawn back to LS I fucking love it especially in Wilds.

Anyway I’m excited to see what the brace booster is gonna do to it! And the fact they’re adding attacks/combos outside of the bracer has got me even more hyped.

I’m excited to see what it does to all the weapons to be honest. What are you hoping the boost bracer does for your weapon??

Looking to learn Hammer

I know now with it being base end game is probably the best time to learn any new weapons as all the changes/tweaks will have been done. With that being said I’m interested in Hammer so was just wondering where it’s at right now?

Do the Hammer bros approve of it being and engaging weapon to play in regard to gameplay loop, satisfaction etc. I quite like big damage numbers and I’m guessing Hammer would have that. (Coming from a GS main)

And insight/motivation to get in to Hammer will be appreciated!

How is Lance?

GS main here.

Lance main’s, your weapon is 1 of 4 that I haven’t touched at all. Considering I played Gun Lance and loved it I’m guessing I’d enjoy Lance too. I hardly ever see people use it when joining sos hunts and I always wonder why.

Just looking for a bit of insight/motivation to give it a go. Why do you main Lance, Lance gang

AT REY DAU GIVE ME MY PENDANT!

Couldn’t of done it without my beloved GS

Just about cleared it with 19 seconds to spare, I’ll take it! I missed a luring pod shot too and had to chase that motherfucker back to his lightning pit lol.

Genuine question though. If you get an A does that automatically get you the B and C pendant?

GS gang please shed a tear with me!

This is why GS will always have my heart, my MAIN, main.

This is in a random SOS hunt.

I proc the paralysis with a TCS, another hunter does an off-set at the exact same time which looks crazy! Then a chain break! And then yes 😭 the rest is history!

I don’t know if you can experience this type of dopamine moment with any other weapon. Maybe a synchronised 4 hunter CB S.A.E.D? Or a 4 hunter SwAxe Full Release!

Either way this is beautiful!

Enjoy.
