Dont sell any weapons, as you'll need the old weapons to craft newer better weapons. I think the same may be true for the gear.

[@sws212]

Don't sell certain* weapons, most of them don't have a point, especially when you can just buy a copy of their base weapon if needed. It's not like the crafting system in this game is particularly interesting. The obvious don't sell weapons are pretty obvious; they're either given to you or made with materials from a quest or boss fights.

[@dee_n_ayy]

@@sws212 I keep blue and purple weapons and the Diamond sword. I noticed only one Diamond sword is available to purchase After that it’s sold out. Purple get made into new weapons then ancient sword and coral sword (blue) are actually rare because so far they are the only found in a chest - no vendor, no respawn, no alternate chests

[@gwynmorris5763]

Don't sell purple weapon's

[@InsaniityKills_]

[@violexiel]

You dont need to go back to the hideaway to respawn the enemies on the map. Just go to the local map and teleport back to the waypoint. It will reset as well as your skills.

[@Jesus7MyLord]

True

[@Entropy512]

Also, it's not too long after Norvent that you reach Royal Meadows, and you can find four Bluebirds (40AP each plus 8AP for each of the regular wild chocos nearby them) roughly between the Royal Meadows obelisk and Northreach. The group at the farm to the left of Northreach as you're approaching it has some worgens that are guaranteed to aggro, so that group alone totals 80AP without bonuses. Return to the obelisk and run again.

Tips on the magic burst. Instead of getting it, change your control type to Type B. Now you can hold R2(magic) while attacking then at the end of combo release R2. Instead a weak burst, you get a full charge burst

[@xxdestiny02]

Type B control is R1 - melee attack R2 - Magic L2 - eikonic feat ⬜️ - ability ⭕️ - evade 🔺️- cycle eikon

[@snuffkinzz]

thanks man

[@rushpatriot2866]

Too late already used to the type a controls now

If you’ve gotten past ultima’s first appearance and help Martha again, speak to the guy next to the bridge in martha’s rest to start a side quest. This quest unlocks Clive’s chocobo

Not sure what has the most particles, a supernova exploding in outer space... Or a basic attack in FF16.

[@artianna85]

Use charge magic, parry and dodging as much as possible. Time your attacks with each eikonic ability and minimize the use of potions.

[@EdwardRodriguez26]

The Garuda grab ability works wonders. If you played any of Devil May Cry 4 or 5. You’ll feel right at home using the grapple to chain combos together.

[@calebflanigan4364]

Yup, THIS COMMENT, switching back and forth between Phoenix and Garuda for sustained combos in the air makes me feel RIGHT AT HOME

[@strawnobi]

I played the demo first and played a couple hours when I bought the full game. It’s awesome!!!

[@lambo2655]

You don't need to equip Torgals timely assistance charm. The Wolf will attack targets on his own, mostly focusing on yours he will also heal you without prompting him. This frees up an accessory. slot.

[@LS1Highwind]

This is true, and tbh I couldn't stand hearing Clive constantly giving Torgal commands every 2 seconds 😂

[@TNVLinks]

Heatwave first slash is meant too parry a projectile and if y do u launch more energy slashes and the cooldown gets reduced a lot btw. I personally still use it cause I find the interaction fun

[@br2nd]

Im later in the game a fave combo i like to do when the enemy is staggered is the ramuh lightning ball next to the target then giga flare through it into the enemy, so many numbers happen.

[@davisandew44]

Love the expression “so many numbers happen”. Hope you don’t mind if I start using that one.😂

[@Mugthraka]

Heatwave can also cancel an enemy attack and when it does it sends back MORE projectiles

[@swekiwi4517]

This move is SICK

[@Nead_Dill_Dickersons_jr]

Garudos O coupled with with that aoe wind move that sends enemies in the air coupled with a kick in the head coupled with that X+Square aerial move coupled with Garudos O agn - which may stagger an enemy, I think -coupled with another x+square aerial coupled with a switch to the Phoenix move set coupled with with a Phoenix O coupled with with a square coupled with that fire aoe is superb combo

[@scubasteve5326]

Heatwave is definitely a favorite of mine. Literally any projectile can be sent back

[@60weHoodsta]

Yea. It explains that in the move description

[@arthurg7894]

I'm so hype for this game. It'll be my first FF title ever

[@dee_n_ayy]

Welcome, I hope you enjoy

[@fly-guy-ry]

This is one of the best speaking from a guy that's played every ff cept 1 and 2

[@kylemichel3006]

Loving the counter abilities. Especially gerudas rooks gambit. But it really does fall off after getting Titans counters. So trying to put together my very technical abilities together so I can counter on the fly. They also tend to do mega stagger so again ... Garuda with gambits rook I can easily get a weaknesses status by using her ability to further being them down to go more damage and stagger, that and even a short claws can fully bring any enemy to a full stagger

[@craigfunk3453]

Even after getting Titan's counters, garuda's counter has its place. You will find those enemies with attacks that simply can't be blocked at all, and thus garuda's counter is what you need to maintain the offense

[@Rpgthegxd]

You can fast travel back to Caer Norvent to respawn the enemies no need to fast travel somewhere else

[@JorRaptor]

doesn't respawn the blue sparkels/potions tho, but for the AP this is certainly a bit faster!

[@Suikojunkie]

Just get better and more comfortable at doing combos and you will be fine. This game is even more fun when you practice your combos

[@rooster1610]

Dude my physical copy will arrive later in the day I'm so excited to play it, already arranged everything so that I can spend the whole day playing it undisturbed. Also I have a question Jor, are there any different outfits we can equip for Clive? Kinda like in FFXV, it's not a major thing by any means and so far it seems like we can't change cosmetics but I was still wondering

[@mikedavis4561]

There's no additional cosmetics, Clive's outfit will change for story related stuff but nothing that you can like transmog or equip to change. However, your sword's look will change based off of what sword is equipped. Was hoping for something like that but playing around with equipping different things I only found that the look of your sword will change.

[@rooster1610]

​@@mikedavis4561thanks a lot for the reply brother, yeah that's kinda what I imagined it would be like, like in the FFVII remake but still thought it would be worth asking

Thanks JorRaptor! You are the best, brother!

[@nepats001]

Just curious if the difficulty gets any harder? Im in no way 'great' at action combat rpgs and still found the game easy thus far. I still think the game is great but just curious

[@jah968]

From what I’ve experienced, the combos just get more complex 😭

[@dustin55510001]

NG+ really will be the challenge

[@ADarklore]

That all depends. Are you running any of the 'Timely' rings? If so, take them off... instant increase in difficulty. Personally, I play the game for the story, NOT for 'difficulty' so I have the Timely Strikes AND Evasion rings equipped to make life easier, and even then, a few battles I've had to use potions to stay alive.

[@mikeholt2852]

I think gets easier actually. The more stuff you can spam during stagger the easier it gets. Even combos isnt even difficult. Spam wind to stagger/ spam lightning and fire for damage. I can even use torgal as a combo extender/starter and still find it easy. I dont use any timely accessories and have only died three - four times. Maybe thats bad, but coming from elden ring, i call that a win 😂.

[@mrspaceman2764]

I love the Ariel Blast tornado. It's just chaos. I find it hard to use sometimes since some enemies will still fire projectiles out of it or come flying out of it without warning.

[@F4R4D4Y]

I have a question. When Clive is fighting as Ifrit against Kupka who becomes a giant, there was these Triangles on the screen during the battle. What am I supposed to do during these Triangles during the fight?

[@rmmm329]

This game looks fun to just zone out and grind in. The action likes like just the right amount of complexity

[@dee_n_ayy]

I’m was playing for 12 hours yesterday most of it was just zoning out and running around lol

[@demigodhades4506]

Question do we gain new summon abilities like we absorb them or no kinda curious

[@JorRaptor]

You get a ton of new eikon abilities if that is what you mean.

[@majinboo6377]

no, clive is the eikon of ifrit, he can transform into ifrit, but not the others, but since he is the child of fate he can be blessed by other eikon users that can make him use their abilities during in human form as well as half human half eikon powers but in clive's own style.

I have a question for people that may have completed the game already or that have done the side quests differently than others.... if you wait to do the side quests until you get a little further into the game will you receive renowned for those quests as well or does renowned only pop up for certain quests later in the game? I'm wondering this because I'm not certain if there will be enough renowned points to purchase everything that is offered that you can buy with said points

[@F4R4D4Y]

There are points in the story that you can't go back to side missions. Past the point of no return. For example, I had a side mission to find Norreis, but went on ahead with the main story, and the Norreis side mission disappeared.

[@lizardman1303]

I upgraded my armor and was going to buy the first sword because I didn’t have enough to upgrade both first but then I noticed that the upgrade u forge had more attack power

[@aidenplays4296]

Honestly the side quest felt pointless. Definitely the first 5

[@Reikuma-X]

For the ability point farm it’s more efficient to skip half of his route. Don’t fight the wyvern and knight, only kill the squad of 3 and just fast travel to the same waypoint. There is no need to go to the hideout at all. I usually enjoy your channel but this video feels lazy, I get you want to get content out faster but half of this video is either wrong or you didn’t actually learn what the game offers. Heatwave is shit for damage compared to the other 2, use it as a counter for stagger cause that’s what it’s made for. The tornado is honestly really bad as well, run the wicked wheel and the counter move for that Eikon as well and you’ll be much better prepared for anything especially considering how long the cooldown is for what little damage it actually does.

Something important to note for the skill points farm is that you don’t have to fast travel back to the hideaway for the enemies to respawn, you can fast travel somewhere closer like lostwing and then just fast travel back. It’s not a huge difference or anything but I think the game loads the fast travel quicker since lostwing isn’t as far away as the hideaway. Edit: ok so I just found out that you don’t even have to fast travel to another place to get the enemies to respawn😂just fast travel to the place you’re already at and the enemies will come back

[@yashohashikoto9945]

Additional Tip: You can actually grind even at the beginning of the game during your very first mission (The Greatwood). Here’s what you have to do: 1. Start the quest and defeat all enemies Just before you enter the boss Arena. 2. Save Your Progress then teleport back to the hideaway, click confirm (even if it says “You’ll lose your progress when you teleport back”.) 3. You’ll be able to re-run that area from the start including the respawn of all the monsters you’ll encounter. You’ll be able retain and gain all the EXP, Gil and items you’ve obtain from your first run again and again. 4. Repeat the process as long as you like. Don’t forget to save. 5. Grind infinitely! You’ll reach a higher level Just by after finishing your first mission. In fact, you can even reach level 30 just by repeating the process. Hope this helps to all the grinders out there.😊 hehe!

[@weilima9316]

Couldn’t you just redo the stage through the Arete stone as many times as you like just a bit later on?

[@yashohashikoto9945]

@@weilima9316 The mode where you can replay the stage is still locked when charon introduces you to the aretha stone, you can only train there at the beginning of the game but if you wish to grind directly, this is by far the earliest technique you could use. Some area in the map just vanishes if you progress and you can only access certain area for replays with the monoliths. Thus it just takes a lot of patience to juice out those exp with mobs, the higher you get the less exp you receive. im currently at level28 and still in chapter 1, im planning to progress further when im 30. Thus, grinding takes a lot of patience though.😆
