Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven (I’ve approached it like a regular JRPG and I feel like it’s ruining my experience).
So I’ll just get down to brass tacks, I’m in the second generation the photos show everyone in my team where we are at with HP, BP physical/magical stats.
I’ve only learned one piece of dark magic and that’s with the mercenary and it’s the empty blade attack which is really powerful and I know it’s nothing compared to what I’ve seen from this person on YouTube named BerryRazy. He says he hasn’t done any NG+ and he does like crazy 8000 or more attack on some of his overdrive attacks and he has tons of dark magic.
I’ve been using Imperial Cross the whole game, based on u/VicariousExp post, Rising Phoenix and Rapid Stream are the best formations on harder difficulties. I’m playing on normal.
And then the third runner-up is Divine Wall, but that’s only when you’re playing on a difficulty I don’t even have unlocked yet.
I’ve become very frustrated with the game because you’re expected not to grind, but they choke the battlefield and dungeons full of monsters so you’re basically jumping around like Super Mario constantly to get around them.
They put the treasure chests in obscure areas, Mr. S is modestly hard to find, and I’ve already missed one of them at the MU tribal settlement in the snow because he’s apparently hanging off of one of those cattle which I don’t know how they are expecting you to pay attention to something like that.
When you jump, you can’t grip ledges so you have to basically do strange movements to get to certain treasures and I like the game.
It’s charming, it has a different atmosphere to it, but it’s definitely not what I was expecting, and I don’t want to continue to ruin the experience for myself.
So as a completely new player to this franchise, what are the next steps I should take? I can’t beat Bokhohn, he completely ripped me apart. I couldn’t even get to the second form.
Thankfully, I read enough about this from you guys to save on multiple files in case this happens because basically I bricked that save unless I want the whole team to die.
I don’t understand the death mechanics, because I know you supposedly can die multiple times to appoint a new emperor it doesn’t move the story forward or it does; I don’t know I keep reading mixed stuff.
And that’s how you end up learning all the battle formations but if there’s only three that are important, then there’s no point in doing that.
Even though I watched that YouTuber do it. So I just don’t know. I already missed the mermaid side quest (accidentally stayed at the inn during Gerrard’s timeline) but I plan on doing that on a different save.
I know that playing this game by the book and not just making random decisions supposedly is what really ruins the experience, but I’m struggling so much to understand this game. It’s becoming less of a fun experience and more like a tedious chore so I want to know the next steps to take as a newbie.
I’ve already created the Avalon Gardens, I’ve already made the smithy to level two, I’m trying to find those ores because something about her hammer breaking or whatever, and I also began development on the university. And then the incantation lab is maxed out at level two.
I’m one region takeover from skipping forward another hundred years and I just wanna make sure, I don’t know that I start playing this game and having more fun with it.
