Shinobi should focus on Shadow Weave (Leg Bind) and possibly Fukim-bari (Multi-target Sleep); keep Smokescreen up with them so you can always use those for 1 TP. That's pretty much your goal here; raise your skills until they cost 2 TP to use then raise Smokescreen to counter it. This way, your Shin...

Its sort of silly, but I have to be sure. If a Beast is summoned into the back row, only its attack power gets cut, right? The status/bind infliction percentages remain as they are? Just their damage gets cut; status chance is independent of row. Can moves like Wolf Howl and Drumming stack? As far ...

[hide]>.< dam gold foe in F1 keeps running away and when I finally caught up with it..it turns out to be resistant to most of my attacks and ran away after I failed to kill it in 3 or so turns..[/hide] Well... [spoiler]They're resistant to everything. A Shinobi with Shadow Stitch / WhateverIt'sCall...

:3 but I want a pirate! ...? I never said not to use a Pirate. I said their Chasers aren't that useful. They don't follow every attack and they're limited in what they can follow. The Rapier skillset is just better than the Gun skillset so I'd go for a Rapier Pirate. Pirates are fucking awesome. Fr...

They're also not that useful. Rapiers have the better skills (In The Dark, Hanging) so I'd go for those.

In my defense, I still don't have EO3.

I just bought a 52" TV.

Wheee...

Yeah, Conditional Items now have neat little Gold Text. Oddly, this applies even to the ones that aren't really "Conditional" like Ghost Ships' "It's just Rare" drop. Odd, I know. Edit: To save you some frustration Maxine, there's a 3rd Stratum quest that you should just not try ...

It's ... fairly obvious. [spoiler]The one with a Shogun instead of Androids. Helping the second city (the one with Olympia) nets you the Android. Helping the starting city (the one with Kujura) gets you the Shogun. Basically, help the Android, get Android. Help the Shogun, get the Shogun.[/spoiler]

I meant Princess -> Monk/Princess. Really, either a Monk or a Princess is enough for the main game. Princess just makes things easier than a Monk for the main game since they can keep you going infinitely.

Nothing, nothing at all. Monks just have a front-row weapon skill line which makes them a good choice for the front-row. Between the two, Princess should be in the back over a Monk; Monks at least have skills to use. Having a Princess allows you to let the Monk focus more on their Fist line first an...

Healing items are hardly a waste of space and money. Both EO2 and EO3 can be beaten without a primary healer, just someone to use items; it's even better in EO3 since the Healing items are now really good (cheaper across the board). EO3 makes it easier since the Prince(ss) keeps everyone at full hea...
