    The only reason I would put the last hope near the top of the list is because it actually feels like your "Traversing the Stars" instead of only being on underdeveloped planets with like a space station dotted in

      Sadly, all the natural planets are so unimaginative, they just feel like different regions on one continent. Even a single region in Pokemon has landscapes more interesting than Aeos, Lemuris, and Roak combined.

    Bachus and Arumat are great party members, main downside to them is that their A.I mostly stands during battle, Arumat also spam spells if they aren’t off.
    Myuria is my fav spell unit but useless while battling the post game Angels, since her A.I start attacking from long range when you manually turn off all her spells and they’ll target her instantly. Sarah is unique because she’ll never attack if all her attack spells are off.
    For me, best party is Sarah, Edge, Remi and Meracle.
    Awesome video by the way

    This is mostly a tangent but I got momentarily confused seeing "Crymachina" in the intro segment. Mostly due to a combination of it just recently releasing, I'm actually playing it as I'm typing this up, and the fact that it's pretty far in the niche side. Then I saw the video was uploaded 5 hours prior. Here I was just clicking through random videos for the channel through the side recommendations. Didn't think I'd suddenly catch a fresh video that way so it caught me off guard.
    Anyway, "The Last Hope". I remember enjoying the game for what it was but never finished it. I recall hitting a wall somewhere near the end where everything just either had too much health or I wasn't doing enough damage. It wasn't hard, just battles ended up taking forever and I just lost interest. Then again, this was over a decade ago so younger me didn't know what they were doing, especially when it came to synthesizing good equipment. I played primarily as Edge while having Meracle, Reimi, and I think Arumat as AI teammates.
    I've been considering jumping back in but since I'm neck deep in trophy hunting now, yea-no. I'd rather spend that 500+ hours on other games instead.

    And Reimi is why they always nerf or derp the A.I of long range dps in games like this. I remember as a kid just watching the A.I juggle a post game boss in the air for the whole fight with just crimson squall and what was the other move sparrow something? I'm not complaining I'm just saying maybe she should have been the MC over stock ecchi manga protag Edge.

I'm currently struggling in the wandering dungeon trying to collect the last few randomly dropped weapons and defeat the Ethereal Queen for the first time.

    A little late to the party but you nailed this tier list. Sadly it resembles almost every body else's tier list ckncerning this game.
    I commented on one of your community posts that asked who do you think are the most op oarty members in rpgs. Meracle was on my list. Once it was discovered how Op she was. People couldbt pkay the end game without her. Unless you were an Arumat fanboy.
    The Myuria segment was hilarious. Her place in the tier list is what it is. But I have her in my main party. Just because she us busty eye candy. I hace Meracle,Sarah, and Edge. Just having Meracle and Sarah in any party set up is OP.

    Myuria might not be the best healer, but back on 360 I used her and cleared the extra dungeon gabriel/queen AND finished it on chaos mode. so yeah, she does the job good enough. Since you will blindside with Edge 24/7, you are looking for more damage anyway 90% of the time.
    My team was: Edge, Reimi,Bacchus and Myuria - black hole with Bacchus never let me down!

    (Reimi and Meracle are the most fun to play as once Faize is gone, iirc on NG+ you could "keep" Faize over Arumat, this game sadly never interested me enough for a 2nd playthrough 😂)

  • @ryulee1996
    @ryulee1996 7 месяцев назад +1

    This is why Reimi is one of the best female character ever. I think she's aside with Rena (SO2) and Maria (SO3). This is why I play her forever because her combat is the best, love her bow arrow attack, and her personality. The rest, I mostly don't care but I do find Arumat and Sarah okay. I can't hate Lymle like she's just adorable. Faize like he's good but his story is just sad like he lost his own people and the person he had feelings with too. I won't spoiled much about Faize at the end since I know people haven't play this yet.

    Still to this day, i never see someone play Bacchus as i do. You do the side Slide move with him and while sliding you attack with his normal attack in long range.

  • @Lost_Avenger89
    @Lost_Avenger89 11 месяцев назад

    A list that I actually don't agree with for once. Faize is the worst easily. Lymle is low, but definitely a tier above Faize. Edge, Sarah, Myuria, and Reimi are all mid. The ai really doesnt matter since the ai is bad with everyone.
    Sarah doesnt have access to fast cast so she is one of the weaker healers. She is more of a buff bot that can heal on the side. Edge has low damage output, most of his specials are not easily spammable like Meracle or Arumat. He is basically what Faize should have been. Reimi is the top of mid or bottom of top tier(I personally think she is kind of mid late game since her damage output isnt that great). Myuria is probably the best healer that can be a sub dps. Technically every healer can use the highest level heal, but Myuria has fast cast. On top of that, she has one of the best steal set ups for end game clay farming which pairs with Arumat to make the best end game gear. For end game utility, you could honestly put her in top just because of how much easier she makes the game.
    Bachus has a stun that works on bosses and is easy to pull off(dash and shoot). I'd say he and Reimi are around the same level, but I'd say he is higher because he can break the game by stun locking bosses. Only downsides to him are his recovery options are bad(he can be stun locked with knock downs) and if you are playing on the original 360 version, his black hole sphere spam can lock up your game.
    God tier is easily Arumat followed by Meracle. They have the highest dps(technically Meracle has the highest potential with x-claw spam vs dragon roar). Using elemental weapons is bad so that quake scythe isnt his best weapon. He also has duplication which makes him the most useful character end game for making your final gear.
    So I'd Say:
    Arumat, Meracle
    Myuria, Bachus, Reimi, Sarah
    Edge, Lymle
    Faize

    This game... like the battle system was soo soo good for the time, but the story was about as terrible as it gets. Its truely a hodgepodge of terrible plot points, and attempts to be campy but this is a JRPG and if your doing campy for too long, it just turns into cringe. This is 50 hr+ JRPG with a penultimate cut scene that was like an hour and a half if I recall and thats a long time to be stuck in cringe.
    I will say that with the battle system different characters excelled in different types of battles, like Remi was a god for boss battles, but against small fast mobs, she was terrible as her arrows had more delay and worse tracking than the mages, so she would often miss many shots. Myuria was actually one of the few pure caster mages that was fun to control in an action JRPG as you were trying to launch spells that would combo into each other in a satisfactory way and Meracle was probably one of the best characters in any action JRPG to control as she flies around the the arena, not just being fast but having agility type moves like slides and jumps, along side her natural high speed and combos.
    Honestly this game did a bang up job of making everyone fun to play in combat, where as in games like the Tales series from around this time, maybe one or two characters might be fun to play as and everyone else was better left to the AI.
