Its kind of wild that these Hero quests are optional. They feel like essential content.

Exactly! In any other RPG these would be story chapters.

If the actual Heroes carry over though, then I imagine it makes for a HELL of a NG+ optimization.

Thats because they are both Keves classes. Keves classes can only equip Agnes master arts and vice versa.

Playing on Hard mode. So far I've only had some trouble with two bosses: the mid-boss Snake enemy in the desert area and the second Story boss (though once I stuck with just using Eunie on both occasions and I came out victorious. She is indeed da boss.

There was a mid-boss right after you unlock the Class mechanic, but I reverted to their original classes and it was cake.

With that being the 15th or so fight I've had to redo from scratch because an enemy fell off a ledge, including two case of a nearly dead red enemy, I can't help to say that not preventing people and enemies from falling off ledges in active combat is a game devaluing mistake.

Was this before or after Ethel's hero quest? From what I could tell, the only new place it let me go before doing that was the western path from the start of the desert, but literally every enemy down there was level 40+. I still did some exploring and got a container, some husks, and ether channels, but eventually every pathway looked a bit too tight to easily avoid enemies and I went back. I also tried going back to new areas of the first region, but it still wouldn't let me.

I did the 2 optional Hero Quests right after that which was a big chunk, and one of them unlocks sand climbing to get up the steep sand hills, and the dessert ar the top of there is level 30ish enemies and the desert is bigger than the whole game up to that point.

Do you still gain class experience when you're this overleveled? I heard some folks earlier talking about it stopping after a 5 level gap but now I'm starting to hear that's not actually true. Haven't been touching bonus experience myself but I'm about to do these exact quests so I'll probably be hitting a spike very soon.

One of the "sidequests" unlocked 1 of 3 special methods of TRAVERSAL the game has, so I think we need new terminology.

I did get a message one time on a completely unrelated quest that said "This quest will be required to progress the main story", so there's probably going to be a wall at some point. Hopefully it's not a Torna style momentum killer.

GOD that thing in Torna just tanked the end of that game.

Is there something to do with all this Ether I'm getting? Just reached 99 and there doesn't seem to be much to do with it other than powering up fabricators and forging gems.

Nopon Silver's been hovering around the max too. What're people doing with theirs?

Does the Nopon Silver max out? You can go through a secret puzzle cave in the middle of the desert to find the Nopon Coin merchant to spend coins on.

As for Ether...I just stopped grabbing current for the moment since I'm sitting at 89 lol.

Combined with how I'm still over 10 levels higher than the enemies here, I REALLY don't think the game was designed for you to go all in on exploration this fast. I can't imagine I'm the only person it happened to, and I didn't even go out of my way to level or anything.

Probably should have avoided using any bonus experience.

Nopon Silver maxes at 99 yeah. All items do. Coin merchant only lets you spend Gold coins so he's not that useful, since gold is in short supply and way better.

Also, there's a mechanic in chapter 5 that requires you to (mechanic spoilers?) beat unique monsters to take advantage of, so you might want to save your exploration until then I guess...

The Sage's Domicile right in front of a big cliff after the trick hallways? Yeah that's the one. I guess specifically his partner is who sold the items, not him. But yeah, silver and gold shop. Wierd!

I also found that door and can't interact with it in any way, I assume it's some kind of late game thing.
