BF32 is the hardest one so far for one reason:

Juvelon (Necromancer) is invulnerable to Holy, and his team uses Medusa Eye :(

Time to scream "bullshit."

I union against Gulcasa, and take him down, which is the goal of the battle. But Kylier dies in the same union. So I lose instead of winning. So fucking cheap. I hate Kylier. HOW DOES SOMEONE LOSE AGAINST GULCASA WITH THE INITIAL HIT AND DRAGON KILLER ACTIVATED?
Although, Nietzsche pwned Gulcasa. Critical hit in every union against him. Sadly, he has protect and high at first...

[Dr Strum]

I think Chance/Panic time is based purely on the stats of the one that gets hit.

Gordon has been criticalled at lest four times in my many attempts to win this battle, and each time, by a different person. I've recorded the stats for most of them, and it's always been 3.33 seconds when Gordon gets hit with a critical, no matter the huge difference in stats (eg, the first one the stats were relatively balanced at four, the second, it was 4, 3.5, 6, 1, this last time it was 4, 2, 1.9, 5, no real pattern to them). Of course, Gordon's stats stayed the same the entire time.

How do you get sprites off of games such as Yggdra Union and onto the internet? I know it's possible, but no one has ever told me how.

[Dr Strum]

You'd need to have the ROM and VBA.
You can either do it the stupid but easy way (turning off all layers but the sprites) and screencapping, or by opening the OAM viewer and finding the sprite, saving it from there.

[Ultimaninja]

wow...you guys must have a very hard time then having to get all the sprites in from these games...

and for the battles can you bring out everyone of your allies at once, or are you only allowed to summon so many? If someone dies is it permanent or does he/she revive after the battle?

[Dr Strum]

You can only bring out a certain amount, though often it's more than enough.
When a unit dies, it's EXP is reset (it's level doesn't change, but all EXP gained towards the next level is gone), and they are removed from the battlefield. They are not gone permanently, but the will be down to 1 Morale afterwards.
And it's truly not as hard as you'd think to get sprites.

Anyways, glitch screenshot time. Same thing that happened to Rhea, it appears if you get more than four bonuses, it will do this. Anyways, before the picture, what happened: (Very, very, VERY mild spoilers for BF32, really just the type of enemy)

Sent Kylier (it's always Kylier's fault) up against a dragon, with dragon killer. She got a critical, and - I wasn't even thinking about the glitch, I just wanted to be sure it would die - I activated Dragon Killer, for the Dragon Slay bonus. So, that's Critical, Head Alive, Dragon Slay, and Equipment. After it listed all the four bonuses, it CONTINUED listing, over and over again, "HEAD ALIVE" all the way down the screen. Then, when the screen updated to show his empty circle, it was instead, filled with "HEAD ALIVE" over and over again. HERE you can see my crappy picture of it.

(Spoilers for end of BF32, YES I FINALLY BEAT IT EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO SACRIFICE NIETZSCHE *CRIES*)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

It's not hard to guess, but, the end of BF32 confirms it. Emilio is Gulcasa's little sister.



AND WHAT THE CRAP?!
SINCE NEITZSCHE DIED, MILANOR GOT THE MVP, BUT IT WAS +2 TEC AND HE ALREADY HAS TEC MAXED! SONOFABITCH

In otherwords, always bring Nietzsche when there's water, even if there are no items in the water and no enemies she's good against.

[Dr Strum]

HOW VERY CONFUSING (BF34 spoilers)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Fighting "Aegina," I took +10, -10, -50, +40. That equals -10, or 0. Yet it cut off nearly all of Yggdra's health.
<_<
ZOMGWTF
And then SOMGWHATHECRAP
I do about 120% using a 3300 power card, and take off all of her 7000+ Morale.
>_>
I hate this battle.



And poor Joachim... :(

[Ultimaninja]

Do you read the manual before you play the game, or when you get stuck in it?

and will there be secrets in Yggdra Union only released in the Japanese version, and not in the American version or Vice Versa?

[Dr Strum]

The manual only helps with game mechanics, unless you meant the guide, which I only use for item locations.

Secrets in Yggdra exclusive to the Japanese or American version? I wouldn't know.

[Ultimaninja]

I hope not...that'd be just so infurirating...

and I was refering to the manual for game mechanics.

But maybe you should record all glitches along with posting them here, so when we, the non-Japanese getting versions of the game because we don't have credit cards to buy them, play we can avoid the glitches as well.

[Dr Strum]

I assume Atlus will remove the glitches as they did with Riviera.

[Ultimaninja]

yeah, but it's best to be safer then sorry...er?

[Dr Strum]

I hate BF35.
It's not hard. It's just stupid.

Any battle where you're required to do two full unions, and you are guaranteed to lose each one, is fucking stupid.




Of course, I could wait ten turns, then it would advance to part two, but with Eudy firing her cannon, I'd actually be better off losing the skirmishes..
