Zeta Is All I Need

Granblue Fantasy Relink Demo version (PS5)
I finished the silly challenge I started at the end of that stream.
No damage clear, too.
Sigils:
-Attack 3
-Tyranny 3
-Combo Booster 3
Music:
-Arvess (Zeta's theme)
This is the run, guys.
Even with a 'harder character', it's still boring as hell to watch.
Even if this fight was half as long, the movesets are too small, and game is too shallow and sauceless to be worth making videos for. Don't hurt me.
There's still the option of guides. But for a game this easy and simple, what exactly, will require a guide?
Not sure if I'm going to purchase the full release.

[@rail7646]

actually no damage and all is fine, but the actual hardest thing is to nail these precision inputs so straight and consistent, that deserves some respect

[@Aiden-iy9du]

Nah, dont get me wrong they aren't easy, but no damage is way harder

[@Sams1802]

Its hard to explain, but you eventually feel the rythm of the timing after a while. It took me quite a bit too, but once you get the muscle memory for it hoo boy is it damn satisfying to just land them.

​​@@TerraTheWiseI hope this makes sense: you see how when she dives in theres like a spark animation? The moment you make contact with the target and you hear the _shing_ audio que, and the spark enlarges, press square again

Happened to me at first, but thay was cus I was timing it wrong and mashing a bit. Tested it awhile ago and you can actually go on for a long time but the damage eventually scales if you go too long.

@@Sams1802you mean plateaus

[@SH1NK1R01]

@@Sams1802it actually doesn’t scale. It stops going up but dps wise it’s actually better to just keep going unless you need to evade something or the debuff wears off from the finisher. Think about how long it takes to get back to that capped out damage if you use the finisher. The devs know this too as during link time her timings are removed and they expect you to spam her dives for as long as the link time lasts.

[@bkbrent]

​​@@SH1NK1R01 Pretty much. I could do dives indefinitely, but i mostly use the finisher to build stun gauge or if i think the next dive won't reach.

[@PhillzHurrr]

I mean...there's already been several showcase videos uploaded that say "Moveset can be expanded in Skill Tree" so there's going to be expansions to the base rosters combat for sure. But "sauceless" I think is a bit hyperbole. We're literally playing game intro quests, Lucillius with Paradise Lost already looks like a banger, so I dunno, man. Each their own, I suppose.

[@Dan01-01]

definitely too early to tell

[@kidnapflap3116]

I wouldn't say sauceless is too much of an exaggeration from what we can tell this is the game and this demo is what is going to sell copies for most people so the devs choosing not to even show a glimpse of the characters moveset evolving is either because it doesn't or they don't know how to properly advertise but that's just me

[@bkbrent]

Sauce does not equal spectacle.

[@PhillzHurrr]

That's kind of a strange way to look at a game that's going to have literally hundreds of hours of content spread across several characters. Of course, they're not going to show everything off, I don't understand this line of reasoning. Most, if not all demos give you a small slice of what's available. If they gave you access to the whole tree, then there's nothing to work towards? @@kidnapflap3116

Its like a timing or for me it like a rhythm sound. You can go long enough at air and drop combo if you know it.. Take me a few hour to get it.

[@Aiden-iy9du]

You have to time square right as it hits the enemy, so you can't do it by rythm cause the timing to reach the enemy is always different based on how far you are.

@@Aiden-iy9du I means for me its like that , even if you press button when it hit, the second one and third one will be miss.

[@NiteEXE]

Trying to get the timing on Zeta's loops was frustrating for me. Do you have a general rule or something that I can keep in mind to make it easier? I wasn't sure if distance or the boss' movement affected the timing, but sometimes it felt like it, or maybe I was just not good at it. I could just be overthinking, but any advice is appreciated!

[@bkbrent]

Distance to target creates a short delay in timings. If you practice while trying to "feel" the differences in distance from when you start the next loop, you'll master it in no time.

Looks like the cooldowns in this game arent as bad as they are in FF16 where they completely put any combo flow on a halt until Clive has recovered his eikon abilities

[@ekosubandie2094]

The game offers you a skill that reduces cooldowns for your arts and I believe the highest level version in the final game may let you have 100% uptime of it with little to no cooldown at all

[@Vexal50]

@@ekosubandie2094 you can check ingame. When it's maxed, cooldowns are reduced by a total of 20%, which I believe is 40 levels worth of sigils? With Tier 4 sigils, that'd be 4 sigil slots worth as seen on the showcase the night before the demo went live

I'm open to being convinced 🤔

[@hwoarang0001]

I really enjoy the game, i think it has some good dopamine hits and i'm curious how builds, weapons and abilities will affect the gameplay, but i don't disagree. The kits are very small and easy to optimize. It's my biggest criticism. I'm hoping that that a future version adds to the kits to make them more interesting to play. I don't think any game like this, whether it be God eater, toukiden,soul sacrifice, etc had a "great" first game. And even they had a good one, they are usually just straight up eclipsed by their sequels/ updates.

[@bkbrent]

Agree. But what about relink as a starting point? 🤔

[@feastmemes9676]

I think relink will be a starting point for a better future game. Like in the updated MHGU, greatsword got that charge in the adept style dodge. Huge change that made that specific combination more fun to play. Even with games that had incredibly small gameplay changes, like Dark arisen, you had rings that would augment abilities, completely changing how they are used. The worst thing that could happen is that they just add DLC characters without updating the gameplay. I don't think they need to add much to get from good to great. Just 1 more layer for each character to optimize. @@bkbrent

[@SH1NK1R01]

The kits are simple for two main reasons though. 1 being the target audience. They may not want to admit it but mobile gamers are not known for execution or reflexes. They don’t want their existing players to feel intimidated, the game has a built in auto mode for mashing and a literal super auto mode where only directional inputs are needed. The second being that they don’t want you to have a main. They want you to play basically all the characters at various points due to their kit fitting certain fights and their elements matching enemies. This feeds in to the first reason as they don’t want players to be scared of learning a complex play style for 20 characters So sadly it’s not likely this game gets more complex with sequels. I also don’t expect a sequel anytime soon based on their post launch plans. They are more likely to just patch it for as long as it makes money.

[@feastmemes9676]

I agree, but i also don't think you are giving them enough credit here. I think if the game is financially successful they already have plans for some paid expansion/ content update. Like if they never added at least ONE ability to a character post launch i would be shocked. I also don't think it necessarily needs major changes to add complexity. Simply having abilities that are hard to optimize or require you to be creative would solve a lot. Like TCS in MH is ONE move but it's incredibly difficult to hit and very satisfying. It Really wouldn't take much. They can keep the game the exact same but add 1 or 2 abilities that require you to use your brain and the game will appeal to almost everyone. It's not a matter of if they could, it's if they will. For now at least, i have mild hope they will. Hell it could already be in the game and we just don't know it yet cause we don't have the full thing. Or the simple kits are made for much harder fights. You never know. I will hold out hope. @@SH1NK1R01

[@brightsuperstition]

There has to be more than this. It seems very shallow and simple so far. Hopefully, we get a skill tree for each character that allows them to learn more moves. I also hope this is just an early game enemy you are showcasing on like normal difficulty and that later enemies on higher difficulties can be far more complex and aggressive. That said, the animations look stellar considering this was developed by a company that only has done mobile games.

[@bkbrent]

This is a paid game, but I can see them supporting it for years to come, so there's plenty of opportunity for expansions and more options. Also, this is just the demo so best to hold off judgement until the full game is out.
