I'm replaying this game on the Dreamcast version and I was watching/listening while I did the last thing for me, which was just the Ruins and the final boss. My god, it took FOREVER to kill the final boss and I was so baffled by this that I had to double check your run in the middle of it to see what you were doing, because for whatever reason, when you use the lightning techniques on phase 2, there's no damage indicator for it... then in phase 3, my Barta was dealing 40ish damage instead of 80ish! I'm not sure if my techniques happened to be lower level, but is the boss just more resistant on the Dreamcast or am I crazy?
Forces and techs are way worse on Dreamcast: damage scaling is something like 6-7 MST to 1 damage instead of 5 and the base power and MST stats are also lower, not to mention cast times are slower, and tech disks drop at higher levels earlier BUT higher levels add like 2 damage per level instead of 10. Also, no class bonuses for techs. As for Zonde not showing damage, it's usually because it's hitting the center of the body which might be off screen.
@@akdylie Thank you so very much for the breakdown! I had a feeling Techs might be worse but I hardly played other classes besides HUcast, both on Dreamcast and Gamecube. I had no idea there was such a huge rebalancing. The damage indicator wasn't showing up as I was aiming for the... tentacle heads, if I can call them that, and yeah, the main body was always off screen lol.
Dude, I came across a video of yours that teaches how to duplicate items. I'm trying to put the codes in the game on the Dolphin emulator. I've tried everything and it doesn't work. Do you know how to solve it?
Forest/cave/mine must be cleared to unlock certain quests. For Ruins/Falz, the tradition is to get the alternate slideshow in the credits which is unlocked by completing everything at the guild counter first. Another way to look at it is that the mission that Tyrell gives you at the start counts as one of the missions.
@@akdylie over 20 years playing this game and I didn't even realize there were alternate credits for beating every quest wowie. Also must have forgotten about the requirement to beat forest/cave/mine to unlock certain quests because although I've played so long, I probably haven't done these quests since the first 5! Love your runs. Will you be releasing your mod project any time in the foreseeable future? I am extremely interested in it.
I think that's the most satisfying class. It makes ultimate easier too. Ethics are fluid. Over time the acceptable norm becomes yesterdays ideas.

why is beating forest/cave/mine/ruin required for this category?
