AP system aside, what killed my interest in this game are some other things. First: Wanzer arms being made of soggy cardboard. FM1 Wanzers have arms which have more HP than the torso. Second: Shields activating RANDOMLY. What the hell? Coming from Front Mission 1, where shields can mean the difference between life and death, and suddenly I press Guard to mitigate some damage... and nothing happens. The Wanzer takes damage as if I just skipped a turn doing nothing. Third: early game backpack capacity. Room for ONE item while fighting with 6 Wanzers on a map with 24 units. Screw that. Fourth: specialized armour types. Basically, they often cause the player to waste a turn, and given how parts often get blasted off in 2-3 turns, every turn matters. Not to mention how much more every turn means when the player has 1 unit for every FOUR the enemy has and there's only ONE repair item at MOST in the backpack. Front Mission 1 is flawed and has a reverse difficulty curve, but is enjoyable. Front Mission 2 is an exercise in handling frustration.

nice guide i dont understand if your playng on expert or on zenorian can you tell me ?

I picked it up during sales (20 euros on PSN) after watching this video and, after first few missions, I can say I like the game. I can't comment on original difficulty (obviously), but so far I didn't have any problems. I'm playing on normal and my goal is to avoid all skirmish battles, like I'm playing old FE games. In fact, I'm kinda pissed there is no Hard difficulty available from the start. 😅

Куда ты пропал, братишка?

Hey 89! Any plans to cover the demo of front mission 3 remake at TGS 2024?

I just finished the game and a pretty major thing that occured to me around Elfheim was that Alain is the only character in the game. His unit is all that matters thanks to his leaderskill and because of the Sigils effectively becoming speed running practice and removing the need to share xp in main fights meaning that you are directly insentivsed to have Alains Unit be the only unit that ever fights. Battles transforms from a dynamic multi sided battle front trying to push through waves of enemies against the clock to a borderline Dynasty warriors style one man army B-lining for the Enemy commander using the valor points to eliminate rest time and obsticals, his allies effectly used to hop scotch over and provide addtional valor skills but never actually fighting. The game seems very heavily balanced around Level difference its better to have 1 unit 5 levels above what is expected than 5 units at expected level.

This is really well done. Thanks!

my main squad, which contains chars at lvl 50 lost to one of my half assed squad at 45 😂 and that's happened when i go against the last boss because of his brainwashing spells hahaha

these work but they're just charge cheese teams

& here I was about to restart the game for the 3rd time because my flying guy died & he was a powerful character 🤦‍♂️

There is so much to learn in this game it's crazy

Judging by the size of that text, the game isn't optimised for hand-held play?

I've just started FM2 on the steam deck. Thank you for explaining details like surrounding units, usage of AP etc. The game doesn't really explain anything about its own mechanics or I skipped the training accidentally... I've played so many times FM3 when I was a kid on PS1 and now after finishing FM1 and going to FM2. Okay-ish games but doesn't give vibes that I had in FM3. I really hope they will do a remake of the third Front Mission. It was an awesome game and very deep in the mechanics and story telling.

I think you should also cover rosalinde, she do both phys and magic attack so there is no chance of survive if the enemy unit is weak to magic or physical

You know what would make this game extra spicy is if you don't know what the enemy team is composed of entirely until you engage them at least once. lol. That'd make things interesting, you'd need to have a scout party that can gather info and escape. Then you can prepare your team for it. Right now with the Classes, I feel like it's just rock paper scissors. But you already know what you're opponent is going to do.

Yo 89. How are you? Havent seen you in a while. Hope you're doing ok. Anyway since you havent released anything new in a while, i again make the pitch to spotlight goblin slayer: another adventurer nightmare feast on the switch/steam. Just the asian version out but the english version should be out later this year. Seems interesting and i'm a fan of the anime.

Only one start of battle works at a time, and debuffs are not the same as afflictions. These are two VERY important things to note about that second unit

I noticed on the First aid it's condition is set to Lowest HP. That doesn't work very well as it actually targets the character with the lowest Max HP. If you have a unit that has 28/28 HP(full HP), but that is your unit with the lowest max HP, it will heal that unit that is already at full HP. You have to set it to Lowest % HP. I just had this problem last night and noticed Chloe kept healing the same character who was at max HP. Switched it to Lowest % HP and then she would heal whoever was hurt the most. Anyways, nice little guide on conditions. It's a bit confusing and doesn't neccesarily work the way most of us would think it works.

Would strongly encourage you to check out the updates to all the classes for Gloomhaven Second Edition, which will be coming out in board game form around March 2025 or so. The Jaws of the Lion classes aren't a part of this, but they have really fixed a lot of issues with the starting classes and I think Spellweaver is more fun than ever! (And Tinkerer isn't super underpowered anymore, in fact it's a powerhouse!)

Fun set of videos you did, glad I found them. Two small things I disagree with here: You talk about maybe swapping out Signs of the Void or Freeze the Soul to add Sap Warmth. While I like Sap Warmth, I have found that Signs of the Void is very valuable as simply a good initiative move 2. And the stun on Freeze the Soul is quite valuable as well in a Master Influence build where you don't really care much about the curse, and the top is nice to finish off an enemy, especially if you're protected with an invis cloak for the scenario in case things go wrong.

Do you have endgame builds?

Unicorn Overlord is a masterpiece in every regard, I think I'm on my 11th straight playthrough🤔

I play like Super robot wars 😂lol, however the Storyline / ending its makes no sense

💩 game...

I played this game, it is AWESOME. Great review!!!

TZ is the way game marker want you to play .BC you need to use all the options available the beat the game. You need best party composition for each battle. Best tactic for each battle . It is not that difficult . It is not permadeath . The revive items can be farm indefinite. Speaking from someone with 3 playthroughs with 180 hrs in game time.

you don't play with the HP bar over your characters head all the time? no wonder everybody has blessing stones.

Anyone having problems with PS5 English voices not working even with the settings set to english its still in japanese

Yunifi works better with Gilbert, Ramona, and Yahna. You only need the 4 of them to wipe anything, but bringing an extra 5th that has bonus damage vs frozen works too. Key stat is Initiative and Gilbert has to be highest, followed by Ramona, then Yunifi, then Yahna. Gilbert gets the cat-ear hood and boosts initiative and attack on everyone. Ramona gives back his PP and has familiar's choker. Yahna gives magic conferral to Yunifi and glacial rain procs eagle eye as it goes off. Anything that survives glacial rain is frozen, Yahna then uses Ice Coffin and procs sorcerous conferral to mop up. Whatever is left after Yahna's row-clear gets finished by Gilbert's buffed banishing stab while Yunifi charges a 2nd glacial rain. With this build, the only move an enemy gets to use is whatever they have set to go off at the start of battle.

The game looks amazing! I had passed on it due to the low reviews, but am tempted to get it now after watching your very in depth take on it. Thanks for the great work!

Esse foi o melhor rpg tático que ja joguei ate. Na verdade está sendo o melhor, pois ainda estou no início do jogo e completamente viciado. Uma mecânica maravilhosa, arte belíssima e que respeita o tempo do jogador. 10/10 ❤

What to stun with Perversive Edge? Go quickly (before the monster target) and stun the biggest threat/best blocker, preferably not the one your Brute friend is about to attack. Following round, get up on them and use that Ice you created to follow up with a melee stun. If you literally play your cards right, the nastiest monster in the room may never get a turn.

I've been playing Mind Thief in both the digital and board game. I recommend to "never" summon (or if you do, wait until the boss room or near the end of the scenario). It's too crucial to have cards in your deck to extend your number of turns. I avoid burn cards for the same reason ...until the boss room. Get items that allow you to get cards back (and get the necklace that allows you to refresh a spent item). With either type of STA potion, you can keep the stun going for four rounds in a row.

Well I played a difficult turn base strategy before and it’s not fun, so I’ll pass and play miasma Chronicles

When i completed Story Difficulty i had 23 Hallowed Corne Ashe left. Im assuming youd have much less on True Zenorian

This is one of my fave games of all time and IMO is a top 5 trpg on the switch, arguably top 3 (with unicorn overlord and triangle strategy). A couple of things you missed out on: 1. the BGM is engaging and diversified. 2. The aegis tower upgrades/purpose. 3. the "nice" in,-battle dialogue scenes. haha. Might want to warn underage people about that. my nitpicks: 1. postgame could have a bit more story in it. 2. clearer info of how stats are capped. Like i wouldve liked to have an indicator that energy doesnt go past 999 after i kept pumping my generator. I like the special effect sound there when upgrading BTW.

On the skills (armaments), i like how the game doesnt tell you about the 2 secret skills each mech has and how a few of them are the best in the game. The game is good at buildcrafting and teamcrafting. Certain pilots work well together due to their skills. Here's how i group them: Group A: megumi, juro, tomi, nenji Group b: natsuno, miura, yuki, shu group c: ei, iori ungrouped: ryoko, gouto, hijiyama best pilots/sentinels after unlocks: 1. megumi 2. natsuno 3. juro sentinel ranking: 1. 4th gen (mobility is king, support) 2. 1st gen (big single-target dmg, good mobility, EMPs, tanky) 3. 3rd gen (longest range, slow) 4. 2nd gen (slow) only redeeming quality about 2nd gens is juro is in it. 3rd gen aint good either outside of natsuno. I just put them ahead of 2nd gen as their longer range/bigger aoe skills make up for their slowness. Agreed on supporting Vanillaware and IMO is 1 of the top 3 developers right now. And yes UO is GOTY. the story/gameplay split didnt bother me because you can control your gameplay split by re-playing missions. theres alot of reasons to grind: re-setting pilots who out, so many things to upgrade (sentinels, armaments, aegis tower, pilot levels).

Hahaha. I thought you werent going to cover 13 sentinels anymore! I approve of this. IMO engaging story does this game a disservice. Its one of the GOATs story wise. Its 70% story, 30% gameplay for the main game only. In post-game, its 0% story, 100% gameplay. Agreed on the art. Its beautiful. Another visual masterpiece from Vanillaware. Each character is well-voiced and well-writted. The game doesnt back away from possibly uncomfortable characteristics and heavy themes.

89🔥🔥🔥

I’m thankful for tou explanation but I think it doesn’t cover Buffs ): I haven’t found one that helps me in this matter at least. Like I want to put two buffs on my Front Row but the first goes right and the other goes to another unit 💔 Is there a limit to buffs? I think the game should have implemented a condition to NOT do stuff like Not use Physickal Atk Up on a Mage unit (which is happening to me)

Its a fun game (so far 30 hours in on Expert level) but still a tad easy. I'm hoping after I finish it the true zenorian difficulty will bring a much needed challenge to this.

Started true zenorian 2 days ago, Allrdy rushed trough drakenholm and elheim. Its honestly very very easy once you have experience from expert. Especially if you just run the usual stuff early like Hilda Dragoon-Cathat instant freeze comp. But even without the boardclear stuff, my other "normal" units perform rly good too and oneshot basically everything. Its sadly... a really really easy game. Im usually a coward. Usually i play anything on normal. However.... This game has the same issue as persona 5. Even on the hardest difficulty its a joke (i still LOVE both games tho, im just saying its rly rly rly easy... even on hardest difficulty)

I just noticed. Pay attention if your unit is walking or running. My first desert biome really forced me to pay attention to the roads. Use the griffing rider buff because I was mostly infantry with just two flying units. in terms of leveling. i noticed the final fight in every battle gets you lots of xp and money ... so you might want to have a liquid fortune at hand

When in doubt - Rosalinde, Knight and a solder. No idea why she's so strong against pretty much everything.

dev will get it

Just got the game recently and loving it so far, thanks for the vid!

The third unit would just get countered pretty hard by one row barrier form a sainted knight or heaven forbid a reflect magic from a feather shield
