I don't have a healer though. Calm Breath and/or Hygieia's Bowl keeps my party alive pretty reliably. My Fortress/Dancer is really good at soaking up damage, and my Snipers' defenses are weak. So Party Shield is a natural choice for me. Also, that last dragon. How am I supposed to beat that thing, ...

For area binding, Arcanist is certainly better. For single binding, well, if you can do some crazy thing*, Arcanist is better... Well, under normal circumstance, S/A is better in single binding. *Crazy thing like equiping a 99LUC, max Aliment Boost Arcanist with two Yggdrasil Dagger with 8 head bind...

What's the problem with Line Shield and Snipers?
My party's back row is certainly able to absorb one or two turns' AoE attacks, and in the third, the lovely Dismiss Heal will simply undo every single damage, if not already healed by Circle Boon. Front row will be covered with Regen Waltz if necessary.

Once you have a significant portion of a map filled out, you can logically determine where the shortcuts are most likely to be. I typically only have to check 3-5 walls before coming across a shortcut in the area I would think one would be. Except that logic doesn't work with certain design, i.e. a...

For leveling there are mainly 2 ways - farming for golden dreameaters in the 2nd land or autopiloting overnight. Check this post for the details. Ctrl+F for Wolkenritter's post on dreameater technique and Ydhadix's post on the autopiloting. But I recommend doing this only after you have beaten the m...

I would rage if they told me placing a wall in front of a door was wrong. This is exactly what I meant. I take a good look at the place when I first set foot on each Strata, of course, but not much after that unfortunately. I'll probably turn full automap on after the first playthrough of the game....

It wasn't until EOIV that I bothered drawing in water at all - or cliffs. But when I got the first map, the color blue supplied by Whirlwind looked so nice I thought "sure, why not." I didn't draw in cliffs and holes - I kinda wish I started making them look like water mid way through the...

Wow this one certainly takes its time. Never thought that we can see another QR quest. Anyway thanks for the info.

That's certainly one possibility. I suppose another is that orders from the Migard Library would be available in the guild house, since it won't make much sense if those orders are received in the bar.

You misunderstood me lol Other than damage modifier, I tend to test things myself. Reading atwiki is ok but quite tiring because of the difference in names. Reading English ones are... wait, is there an English faq out there that has more details then the in-game description? You hit again in skill ...

OMG! I cannot get happy with my Sniper. It's not that she's disappointing me, but there's so many ways I can make her useful! And on top of it all, to test her out, I went out to rebattle the final boss - and I didn't realize that "chase bind" doesn't ONLY chase ALLIES like the descriptio...

To my best understanding, this is what riddle means. It's not asking what 1+1 is, or asking you to describing what an apple is. Someone may not like this, may even argue the logic behind, but I certainly like it (and many games with this kind of things, like Zelda). And to me, in the above riddle, f...

I have no need for party advice since the next thing I will do is to play NG+ with a lonely level 30 Imperial solo (until she finds the NPCs) in NG+. And from my sign, you should see that I have another main Dancer in the same role (again, if you understand my words). Actually my Fortress is quite u...

Copying from a post in GameFAQ: "water drills earth, changing form. earth blocks wind, changing paths. wind blows out fire, changing light. and what does fire do...? only fire can erase it. The first 4 sentence gives you the answer: By "what does fire do" it means fire kills (or w...

I dislike Party Shield not solely because of its TP issue (I have the issue only in the post-game FOE/boss and only when I have to fight them without returning to inn). The main problem is that it will make my F/M take more damage than I intended her to. F/D may have less problem since Fan Dance cer...
