19:08:08 [nathanbp|laptop]Me: Maybe this time I'll beat Lavos in the Ocean Palace
19:08:23 [nathanbp|laptop]Lavos: Destruction rains from the heavens. Your entire party dies.
19:08:49 [Puyopuyo]You should be level 80 or better to try it.
19:08:56 [Puyopuyo]His Destruction Rains is like 800 damage to everyone
19:09:19 [nathanbp|laptop]It did over 1000
19:09:32 [nathanbp|laptop]at level 33 or so
19:11:24 [Puyopuyo]Yes. It does.
19:13:55 [nathanbp|laptop]time to find new triple techs!
19:26:50 [nathanbp|laptop]Ayla seems like cheating for the "get all your equipment stolen" part...
19:28:33 [Puyopuyo]I suppose. The option was very much there for you to think about
19:29:20 [nathanbp|laptop]Yes we should all play our JRPGs under the assumtion that at any point all our gear might be stolen :P
19:31:41 [Puyopuyo]No, that's not what I'm saying.
19:32:03 [Puyopuyo]I'm saying that assuming you play it without Ayla in your team the first time, you can wonder "I wonder what happens if I have Ayla in the team"
19:32:13 [Puyopuyo]Remember, this game is huge on NG+
19:32:19 [nathanbp|laptop]ah, true
19:32:26 [nathanbp|laptop]I think I had Ayla in my team every time
19:32:39 [nathanbp|laptop]Cause Lucca and Marle are useless
19:34:33 [nathanbp|laptop]ZSNES ate my mouse :(
19:36:04 [Puyopuyo]Aw
19:36:33 [nathanbp|laptop]Seriously is there some reason their melee attacks do half the damage of everyone else's?
19:40:43 [Puyopuyo]Yeah.
19:40:46 [Puyopuyo]They have crap strength.
19:40:55 [Puyopuyo]Guns and bows do damage based on strike.
19:41:05 [nathanbp|laptop]I meant a game design reason
19:41:07 [Puyopuyo]But their melee attacks do a modifier of their weapon attributes and their power.
19:41:25 [Puyopuyo]Because it doesn't make sense that they do more damage whacking someone with their strike stat?
19:41:48 [nathanbp|laptop]oh sorry, by "melee" I really just meant "using the attack command"
19:42:07 [nathanbp|laptop]do they really do any less damage when they're next to someone than they do when they shoot?
19:43:09 [Puyopuyo]Depending on the weapon, yeah.
19:43:29 [Puyopuyo]And I believe the benefit of that is that they don't have the "can't reach" problem ever.
19:44:56 [nathanbp|laptop]I don't remember what to do on the airship now that I've got all my stuff
19:46:44 [Puyopuyo]Go outside and find Dalton.
19:53:09 [nathanbp|laptop]ah, right
19:53:10 [nathanbp|laptop]thanks
19:54:24 [nathanbp|laptop]why can't I use the lasers on Epoch to take out Lavos?
19:59:52 [Puyopuyo]Shell's too hard, they broke, Lucca's a jerk, etc.
20:00:48 [nathanbp|laptop]Magus doesn't even come with a good weapon!
20:00:53 [nathanbp|laptop]I want a refund.
20:01:06 [Puyopuyo]Nope
