The nopon coins annoy me because they're very plentiful and not all that useful, but since they're technically limited and cap so easily I feel compelled not to "waste" them.
Isn't that a good thing? Like, you wouldn't use them without the cap, so it's making you engage with the system.

Also you get so many of them that they're pretty useful for leveling up classes I think. I've gotten dozens of class levels with them by now. Some classes I might end up getting from 1 to 20 with coins alone...

If there's a new class I'll want to use I'll use nopon coins if my characters are level 7 or 8 in a class and I just get them to 10 quickly

Not even worrying about 20 since I don't have that unlocked yet

I did my first Ascension Quest (Alexandria since I love playing as Incursor) and that was pretty damn long all things considered. Figured they might be a little longer than the recruitment missions but that felt like it was at least twice as long.

(Chapter 5) I'm super happy there's at least one true proper city in this game. Monolith Soft is so good at cities, it would've been a shame if there weren't any.

Also I just noticed the scale of the map of the Caldensia region. ._.

but um I just had my first software error crash ffffffffffffffffffffff

thankfully auto-saved after I finished the right side of the map... but I every bit I did on the left side is gone, including the perimeter of the island with one of the mainstory subquest locations, and basically the entire top-left quadrant of the map T_T

Back to limited tank shenanigans, how do people feel about the Guardian Commander class? For being one of only three tanks available for such a huge stretch, it feels lightyears below the others to me. Its main method of hold aggro being a taunt that outright fails so often hurts really bad, and for how hard it has to work to get into Awakening the damage doesn't feel worth it.

I can definitely imagine it's a better class later in the game when you can, say, slap Capable Hands on it and maybe give it some High Aggro master arts, but for right now it feels pretty rough. Probably the only class I've seen so far that I'd argue flat out fails to do its job properly.

yeah course-correcting is a bitch because that turn radius is a whole ass bitch but when I've got a section I can just drive straight across one line and reverse back another it really covers up fast

also they totally give reversing better handling / control for some reason... I get because reverse is typically to make up a mistake so the game treats it more lenient, but it's really noticeable how better your boat drives backwards than forwards

Oh boy, my first party member ascension quest. Also I'm confused how someone did Gray as their first one because this is my third and I still don't have that one. My first was Zeon, and then Alex (though level wise, most people would probably be unable to do that one as it became available), and now I'm doing Eunie. I think I can also go back and do Valdi now, but it might take a bit of work.

Most of the ascension quests require you to find a yellow quest bubble to discuss, and or having done certain side quests. As over half of the total quests unlock right at the start of chapter 5, the order can be heavily varied.

I had Gray first then, picked up Eunie quest the same time but finished Valdi second instead... I've tried checking for Zeon and Alex since they've been mentioned a few times but I don't have 'em yet *shrug*

ended up finishing my ch5 map tho woo... there was a second crash but thankfully I saved before the final 2/3 passes

For Zeon, you have to have him in the party while visiting Colony 9. There was another Kite-is-a-dipshit quest at the start of the chapter, and then Zeon's quest was available after that.

Just beat Chapter 4 (and did one Ascension Quest in Chapter 5) and haven't had any crashes thankfully, but I did have a weird moment where I was in a Chain Attack against a UM and we both killed each other somehow.

Right when the Chain Attack hit lethal damage, I just... died. It seemed like the items were still collected though and the marked grave notification popped. And the Chain Attack gauge remained onscreen even though I was now out of combat. It fixed itself after I got in a fight and ended it.

My best guess is it may have inflicted poison on some/all my party and like all the stacks piled up on each other and dropped at once for an auto-kill because weirdly it got an attack off during the chain attack (I guess it was charged and about to be used right when I triggered it? But I could have sworn it only came out after the first order was completed but it was like two sessions ago so I don't remember for sure)

I reloaded just in case any weirdness may have resulted from it though since my last save was like 5 minutes earlier.

If any ongoing effects are happening during a chain attack, they will continue to occur in real time while attack animation are occurring.

For DOTs its possible to start a chain attack with a character near full health and end it with that character at 1 HP.

You aren't supposed to be able to die, though.

This was a big mistake because unlocking classes on characters other than the inheritor is going to be hell moving forward.

I mean you'll come across high level enemies you can grind but forget about making any progress on classes outside of intentionally stopping to grind.

Can someone explain to me why there are so many Level 50 and under quests on the Lavi Sandbar, an area full of level 65 enemies? This design decision confuses me greatly.

Also, is there a way to deal with the poison swamps in the area for Isurd's Ascension Quest? Some sort of Accessory or something?

There are several quests in the same level range that take you through the level 75 area in the lower woods.

The patching intentionally avoids all enemies so I almost feel like they're meant to be "sneaking missions".

I just did this one myself and had to burst them down before the bleeds went out of control. Debuffs absolutely run roughshod over the party in this game and at this point there are only two classes and zero masteries that can address them, so if you're not running either of them then fights like this will pretty much rely on chain attacking to blast through.
