@@justpeachee8964 I just started playing on PC/steam.

Correction... Lionel, Hossabara, Archibald, and Jens all join *completely unrelated* to using their service. Instead it is based on conviction: Jens joins from raising Morality, Lionel Utility, Archibald a combinatiom of Utility and Morality, and lastly Hossabara a combimation of Liberty and Utility. In fact, buying items with coin actually slowly raises liberty, so you actually cannot unlock Lionel from buying is stuff, even if you buy his entire stock.

Fyi, if you cursor over a tile with no one on it and press "y" it shows turn order by placing a yellow number on each character. It also shows turn points each unit has. It's a really useful "at a glance" way of looking at turn order and turn points

So, I found something quite interesting with the scales of conviction. Without spoiling anything; there are times when you unlock a piece of info (a third conversation choice) you would naturally think that the unlocked choice would be the correct one to prompt them to your cause, but this isn’t always so. Some of the conversations where there is an additional 3 choice split actually convince them with one of the top two choices and Not the one you unlocked. I thought this was clever and it took me a while to find the flow that worked best on different people.

Yea... this threw me and it is subtle but can be deduced (about the dialogue options). I found that some of the pre-loaded answers were more "in line" with what that character had presented themselves to be over what the unlocked options would sometimes bring up. I randomly took a chance and selected the pre-loaded once and totally convinced the character and thought "yea... that WOULD be how this works". I feel like this game is meant to be figured out to some degree, and they drop hints... its' not impossible, but they've done a good job of keeping it low-key... which I kind of enjoy.

Jens is so fun. Iv been equipping him with the 1st turn trinket so I can lay down a spring trap which knocks an enemy off a cliff. Also they work really well to just knock enemies back over and over again.

6. Pay attention to the hints before every battle. - Items picked up during exploration (poison heal hints at a poison user) - Recommended characters (thunder users hint at stunning enemies as a strategy) - Cut scenes (could reveal if there'd be re-inforcements on the map and where they're likely to come from)

3:43 You can use the D-Pad instead of the analog stick to jump between events, so no need for pixel hunting.

Was finally able to start the game today and have seen several articles/videos such as this floating around already. Im glad people r helping out with stuff like this, bc it seems like theres a ton of stuff in this game and a good amount of it isnt laid out completely like other newer rpgs tend to do. I enjoy Squenix not holding my hand every step of the way, but I dont wanna miss out on the full experience

I discovered that pressing the D pad on the world map moves the cursor between available markers. If you press the D pad and the cursor doesn’t move, there are no green side story markers at that time. This saves me having to zoom out and pan across the whole map after every event.

I did the mock battles in the Encampment whenever a new one was available. My strategy was do them with all my lower ranked roster which would level them up for the main game real world battles. It carried me through to the end game and you only had to do each mock battle once to level up enough. Barely even a grind as the mock battles are incredibly fun and where you learn more tactics.

Finished the Frederica route. New game+ opens the game up enormously. Can definitely agree on all points. PS: don't forget to grind in the tavern. And use Quietus abilities. Interlude scenes can be scrolled through with the left dpad/joycon buttons. No need to look at the map

I have been watching Rogersbase playthrough of the game. As good as he is doing so far it does annoy me how lil he checks the full map. 5.5 of your points I consider to be, always do those extra conversations... technically covered by talking to everybody; but I feel its worth mention specifically because it does not beat you over the head with notices about the extra conversations and you get a lot of characters that way (I assume there are other ways). Glad to hear you love the game.

I've been really surprised at how few promotion items I've seen. Makes the promotion choice really tough! I've been REALLY enjoying this game, much more than I thought I would (and I thought I would enjoy it a lot!)

Tip videos like this are always great to have! I haven't picked Triangle up yet, but it is giving me such PSone vibes that I may not be able to resist much longer xD Also, tip 5 is gonna be a hard one for me... I'm so bad about hoarding items

Important safety tips. Thanks, davidnyc.

Thanks for the tips! I agree completely on choosing a party of 9-11 characters and focusing on them. It avoids unnecesary grinding in the tavern and keeps your money/material focused on less characters. I am having a blast with this game, currently playing on hard and while the game is indeed... hard.. haha. It never gives me the impression that its unfair or cruel to my playstyle.

I'm definitely interested in playing this game so these tips are much appreciated.

For those who don’t know, you can heal other chars by having an adjacent unit use a healing pill on them. Keep this in mind because the first healer you get is as slow as molasses

Thanks for the advice David! Will be starting this in a few days after I beat infernax to get the ultimate good ending

Really, glad I saw this. No spoilers, just good advice for when people start!

i have around 15 character now and i dont find any of them to be useless, each character is unique in their own way and have their uses.

Good sir excellent video can't wait to take a digital bath into this gem.

I haven't got the game officially yet but i have downloaded the demo and will play it eventually. I heard good things about this game and these tips will help in my enjoyment.

Thanks for the information. As someone who knows the game has multiple endings with different party members but doesn't want to know more specifics on account of spoilers, when you say choosing your final team in your head before promoting, does that include knowing which characters will stay with you? Do most/all characters you "get" stay with you once you can promote them and such?

Beat it over your head to use quietuses. I kept forgetting they are a thing because i have to open a separate menu to use them which kinda counterintuitive, but they are very useful. Didnt start using them till chapter 14 lol.

Glad I watched this. I took the day off to buy this game but only played for 30 mins because I was sucked back into smt 5 lol. Hoping to get back into it soon

One thing i wished i'd known is that on the map, if you press +, you can recruit more characters. I didn't know this until chapter 8. The entire time, i been fighting with only 8-9 characters 🤣

Looks like a good game David. Super engaging

Great tips david! Would get this game after ive thined out ps5 backlog lol

Did he imply that Benedict is useless? 😂😂😂

I wish I knew I needed a box of tissues fir the one route I thought would have an actual happy ending...

One thing I wish I knew was spending resources on upgrading weapons. You can only get so many iron, quality, or superior. Serenoa and Roland requires a ton of Superior Iron at the end to get their ults. 10 each, plus another 10 each for a tier 3 upgrade. I ended up using all of them before I was able to get their ults and there was no way to get anymore. The Merchant only had so many. As for promoting your characters, you can eventually get enough reputation from mock battles get medals for every character to get them to tier 3. So I wouldn't worry about running out of medals.

I love the introduction of drugs to buff your characters.

Very useful and well-timed video! Thank you. This 3D2D art style really hits me in the nostalgia bone. All the little characters are adorable. The dialog in the game is needlessly long-winded, but everything else is great so far. (I play in Japanese to practice Japanese, so it feels 1000 times more agonizing lol.)

Thanks david, you came in clutch with this one. I am a little worried I may have missed an early cutscene or two because while I did scroll the map around - I didn't go all the way to hyzante or the iron city every single time. That spice strategy is legit though, I probably wouldn't have bothered - even with all my SMT training lol

Just finished the Federicas path. Not sure how to feel about that ending however it's worth going that route for knowing how aelfric is really made. .absolutely wild. The final artwork was nice too but man I have to replay the game. Realistically Benedicts route sounded the most logical and sound minded. Can't wait to check it out

I'm yet to jump into TS but I know I'm going to love it! Just wondering what was your final team David?

You forgot about Jens the blacksmith! One of the best characters!

I’m just as enthralled with this game as you. I can’t put it down. It’s actually quickly becoming my favorite Switch game to date.

I believe that the new skills from promotion only appear when you're in the connected class. I.e. you can't miss skills, if you promote later, and you're already past that level, you just get the ability. This actually isn't that relevant though, because you'll have more than enough to promote everyone to tier 2 with ease. Promoting to tier 3 is when you'll have to choose more carefully. And again, tier 3 skills only appear when in tier 3, so missing skills isn't possible

I'm absolute garbage at strategy games, and only recently got into them again. I used to play them a lot about 25 years ago. The first fight with TS, nearly everyone died lol

If you create a new save file after each scale of conviction, can you theoretically go back play all the various battles you missed by (by persuading your party to vote differently from your first go-around)? I’m trying to avoid having to play through the entire game numerous times to see everything

@YourCrazyDolphin

For early votes, probably. But later votes, you can only really get enough conviction to support voting 2 ways consistently. Undecided characters, while having lower requirements, do technically already lean to one end of the vote and you can fail to convince them with a bad argument or just really low conviction. But by your 2nd playthrough, this is almost certainly possible.

Hey. I played the demo and really liked it. My question is , do the battles eventually become more plentiful? Or do you get the option to fight in battles that aren’t story related. I like the story but sometimes the gap between battles is a bit of slough
