Not for all the stratum. I got so involved in simply trying to reach the next floor that I never did any significant gathering from the fifth stratum onwards. I suppose that's partially my fault, but still...it's a bit silly to have quest unlocks hiding behind such a thing.

Ok, dumb question...how in the world do you unlock the Dragon Zombie and Lamia quests? I just hit 29F and I haven't seen either quest pop up. Been doing every quest that's popped up so I don't think it's that. EDIT: ...Ok Atlus, that's REALLY stupid. Quest unlocks BEHIND gathering materials on speci...

Currently in the post game zone. Beat the final main game boss at lv66, but very very close to lv67. Now sitting at lv70 after some post game quests and exploring 26F a bit. Spoilers about that and some random post game banter coming up here. So, Eternal Tyrant...well, he put up a bit more of a figh...

Just made it to 24F. Everyone's lv63 right now. Not much to say other than the following (in spoilers of course): CHRIST MY DRAGOON'S DAMAGE!!! X just nailed a 5th stratum FOE with X-Buster for ~33342 damage after buffs/debuffs (Prep Artillery -> Buster Cannon standard setup for X, defense d...

Sitting on 23F at the moment with my team at lv60. Ended up swapping out my Masurao for a debuff focused Harbinger and my Rover for a Necromancer. Having the ult weapons of both classes was my main reasoning for bringing them in. The Necromancer's Brahmagiri has a stupid good skill on it, Banefire B...

In all honesty, it feels like FOEs in this game are a little...underwhelming shall we say. That or my damage output is so damned insane, one of the two. Almost feels like everything needs more hp at this point because, at least for FOEs in the 5th stratum, I don't even bother with whatever gimmick I...

Up another level for my team and I added another boss to the kill counter, Primordiphant. Minor spoilers forthcoming. Honestly, for a boss that's this game's Wyvern/Salamox/whatever, Primordiphant isn't all that difficult to deal with. Emperor Strike seems to need some kind of accuracy b...

And that's a 4th stratum boss dead. Guild Darkfire has breached the 5th stratum with the main squad at lv55. Spoilers about the boss incoming. So, Crystal Dragon. It already pulled a stupid by providing me a way to attack its backside and get a pre-emptive strike, allowing me a turn to setup my typi...

Just made it to 20F and did some cursory exploration along with clearing out the new quests that opened up. Everyone's lv53. Spoilers to come below. Warping crystals on 18F-19F (and more on 20F too!). Enemies...eh, annoying in some formations, but otherwise not too nasty to handle...unless y...

Regarding the locked/hidden areas of the second stratum I've decided to leave the squirrel box alone until I'm much stronger. Then I'll crush them dead. Evil bastards :evil: Question though about F9. How the beep do I get past those rock pillars+nosey monkeys? I got past the first one b...

Just made it to 18F with the team at lv49. Spoilers about some...uh, fun times in the secret areas from to follow. Found the Master Key during my play yesterday and immediately backed out after clearing the secret area in the 4th stratum to go open those sealed doors. Let's see...nice item on 1F...

Currently exploring 17F. Everyone's currently lv45. Spoilers as per usual, mostly of the FOE kind. Not much to say about the monsters so far in the 4th stratum. Blasting through them without too much issue. As for some random FOE nonsense...turtles on 16F I decided to largely nuke as I came across t...

Random 13F quest spoiler... Ok, took No Guard Left Behind. Seems interesting enough. Go to a spot in the secret area of 13F to find some guards and...oh, one of those wraith FOEs this should be...oh, name's different. So, open up with the Black Mist union and have my Pugilist try to bind some bo...

Another quick update. Just knocked out the 3rd stratum boss. Quick spoilers about it and a funny 15F event to follow. You know you don't give much of a damn about FOE based puzzle when you just blow through damn near every single one in your path (minus the Skeleswords who somehow managed to...

On 15F right now. Everyone's lv39, but they'll be lv40 before I make it to the stratum boss. Spoilers to follow and...CHRIST MY DRAGOON'S DAMAGE! Haven't had much issue killing anything in this stratum...or being in danger from getting killed by anything for that matter. That includes the Headle...
