    Almost a quarter century since I first played this game and people are still making videos. Hell yeah

    I just started playing PSO again on gamecube, im glad to see you have relevant stuff even for an old game. Wish you could make a mag list for each class. I'm always struggling on that part

      Plenty of feed guides out there that will hand hold you back and forth from the item merchant to the gib itemz screen.

    Makes me so happy to see new content coming out surrounding this game, I play offline on GameCube and online on Ultima all the time! (I feel I'm allowed 3xExp when Levelling offline speeds usually xD)

    Other than some obvious outliers this isn't completely different from how I'd rank techs for casual play.
    Bump Resta up to B, Jellen up to C (only gets really good in Ult), I'd honestly push Grants down to C - it's niche imo, swap Foie and Barta only because Barta's movement annoys me and I'm bad at aiming it.
    Megid goes to E for the extremely narrow niche of Fonewms in epi 2 Ult.

    do you know if there is a tier list for dreamcast?

    • @akdylie
      @akdylie  10 месяцев назад

      There's not really enough data for that in the speedrun context. I don't know if anyone has finished a timed Any% Glitchless on Dreamcast with a caster. Forces and techs are a lot weaker in many ways.

    why are you casting foie through the menu and the normal controler commands? why not just use controler commands? You seem to be switching mid combat

    • @akdylie
      @akdylie  8 месяцев назад

      If you're locked into an animation, you can use the menu to buffer a technique to come out on the first possible frame consistently from the menu (otherwise you have to time a button press which is inconsistent). If you are not mid-animation, then pressing the button saves a frame on top of taking less button presses.

      is the reverse also true? when youre already casting it from the menu and you press the controller command button?@@akdylie

      Funny enough, Megid becomes one of the stronger spells at lv30, against the right targets.

  • @Metastrologer

    Why Megid has to be so useless is beyond me. It has so much potential.

    • @forgot7en
      @forgot7en 8 месяцев назад

      For something that potentially one-shots everything, it kinda has to be useless, otherwise it'd be broken. There is no in between.

      Haven't played in a long-ass time, but for non-speedrun content, it was the secret sauce in ultimate episode 2. Episode 2 enemies had a much, much lower resistance to dark than in episode 1.

      @forgot7en 8 месяцев назад +2

      I seriously don't understand why you think the video is useless. You're still getting what you're looking for; he talks about how effective the Techs are to justify where to rank them, taking into consideration their damage, casting speed, range, casting cost, how early you can get it/how much it costs, elemental (dis)advantages, etc.
      In what way exactly are you not getting the information you wanted?
      The only thing I can think of that might not matter outside of speedruns is the usefulness of the spell Ryuker. It's absolutely useless when you can just hold Telepipes, but if you're farming for money, you might just sell any you find in the wild and/or get rid of them and save that inventory space for something more valuable. Same argument can be made for Reverser, I suppose, but that's only assuming you're doing co-op because it's useless in quests.
