Holy shit this game is hard as balls. I forgot that RPGs could actually kill you back in the day.
So this is what FF12 would've been like if they'd let the original developer do his thing. I kept expecting Vaan to show up and ruin the whole game again.
Nah you're just bad at video games.
And if you use affinity system properly it becomes even easier.
I'm going in blind. I have no idea what I am doing.
Well there is two ways to play this game
1 - infinite combos
2 - "proper" way where you spend like 30 hours in fucking menus
Second one is much easier, but obviously much longer.
I can't seem to be able to get more than 1 chain no matter how accurately I time the second hit, I figured chain length increases as you level up.
I vaguely remember that you can assign specific attack to the face buttons.
As a kid I just assigned attacks with the most generous follow up windows and kept whacking everything with square and circle or something.
I only died a few times and though that game is boring as shit with only twist at the end being very cool.
Years later I tried it again now paying attention to affinities and shit and boy it ended up being even more boring, so I dropped it after 10 hours.
It's just because you're winging it. The game expects you to really use the weapon forge system. You need specialized weapons for at least every enemy race in the game. A dragon spear is especially needed since the weak point of those bosses is usually the tail and you need the reach. A silver-undead weapon is also a must.
Don't even attempt the final boss unless you have a weapon with a shit-ton of reach.
I fucking beat the entire game with iron rapier or something similar.
I guess I could be pretty gud at rhythm games if I played them.
Not saying you're lying, but that isn't a statement that makes any sense to me. It's kind of like saying you beat a resident evil game with only the knife.
Even if you abuse the shit out of combos and make the entire game not fun, the final boss very specifically punishes the shit out of you for having short reach. You must have played extremely autistically.
It's possible if he kept using reflect damage. That's how I had to beat the golem boss since all of my weapons dealt about 1-6 damage to him.
