La Pucelle Ragnarok [Switch/PC] - New Improvements and Additions

Ойындар

La Pucelle Ragnarok is kind of like a remaster at this point. Originally released in 2002 as La Pucelle Tactics for the Playstation 2, it has not seen any future releases in the west including the Ragnarok version for the PSP. It has incorporated a lot of changes, making an already fantastic game even better. I'll be going over what those improvements are.

    My only big memories from La Pucelle on ps2 other than the opening music was when I power leveled Prier AND Croix pretty much right before the story took Croix away.

    I’m VERY glad you mentioned the changing enemy facing because I felt like I was dealing with some fever dream that you were able to use some sort of glitch to change enemy facing. So now that I know that was actually a thing and that in this version you can’t do that, I feel better that I wasn’t hallucinating. 😂😅😂😅

    I still can't decide if I want to get this on PC or Switch, and I've been waiting for the remaster since the first NIS classics were announced, lol. Have more of my backlog to work on in the meanwhile while I decide, but I just wish NIS let use buy the games separately on Switch like they do on Steam.

    There is one thing unique to La Pucelle and that's item fusion. It lets you make the most powerful weapons in the game. However it's unnecessary (mostly) to grind this aspect of the game to complete the main story. You will need to do this for the side content like the super-boss baal. Like with most NIS games, having one strong (or a handful) character will always help more than creating hundreds. I would recommend just playing the game and if you get stuck, you can come back and watch some of my other videos. I have a tips video and a video that goes into detail on fusions. I also have a mechanics video if you want to learn the basics of the game.

    I played the original Disgaea 1st, then this. While I enjoyed it I could never figure out how to get the end game content. Then when I got Disgaea 5 and got Prier as dlc and she was a demon lord I was thinking how much did I miss and what happened between during the end game.

    im new to the game but i feel that im soo weak xD and after watching ur video about weapon fusion i now see why ... i guess my stats suck now and im kinda sad now that i learned that. Im liking the game and im on the final chapter but now i see lots of strong enemies over 30 and im on 26 with low stats i only managed to pass the game so far i thing due to the purifying of the dark energy that gave me another turn so i ended stuff in 1 to 3 turns tops , also i tried grinding but the exp was so slow and i have a hard time making money xD if u got any tips id appreciate ;D thanks for the vid .

    I find that going into the Dark World (DEI > 100) gives a good amount of money but that'll come later. An easy way to make money is by going to Rosenqueen and doing surveys until she asks you what kind of buff you want, 3x Money is one of the options. The other good option is 3x Purification EXP. Either way, you'll want to head to Hall of the Dead to perform Mass Miracle Chains using as much of the map as possible. This will level up your gear as well as give you some okay money. Doing this a few times should give you the money to buy better gear to level. Fusion will be the best way to make your gear stronger. I would use the first map (Devil's Stomach) make a miracle covering the map (just a square on the outer part is fine, no need to snake the streams). This will give you enough levels on the gear to transfer to your main weapon. For experience, I just killed my own allies since it was quick and easy to set up with AOE attacks (Priere has Holy Wind or Batter up). So I just killed and went to world map, and repeat. Doing these points a few times should get you through the game and possibly the lowest level Dark World as well.

    Unsure but probably not? Right now I'm unable to progress past chapter 9 due to an unavoidable crash in the main story on the Switch. I don't know if they'll fix this anytime soon but worst case scenario, the patch would come later when people would stop playing. I would assume Cave of Ordeal would probably be the best spot to level (both miracles and characters) but unable to see if that's actually the case. On the PS2, I only did early game power leveling with a mix of killing allies and powerful enemies in the Dark World. This also helped me recruit Haniwas which gave me stronger kill fodder.
