Starting at level 17, there will be a beast form at pretty much every level that has a petrify ability. There are very, very few enemies immune to that and it makes random battles much easier. (In the meantime, I actually still like beasts best because the martial art bonus generally makes them powerhouses compared to equivalent other characters.)Turned the heroine into a robot and fed her some pills, and she already rules. Thank you both!
That sounds pretty good, especially if the ability is free to use like the robot talents...? Might have to turn my remaining human into a beast, since he's boring and not doing tons of damage anyway...Starting at level 17, there will be a beast form at pretty much every level that has a petrify ability.

Which reminds me: how do weapons work? lol I have a "Battle" sword and a "Long" sword and they don't seem to change my characters stats? How do I know which one does more damage?
Thank you for this. Saved! And yeah... I really wish Square (and every other company that rereleases retro RPGs) would have looked at M2's Phantasy Star port, because they built a few similar charts right into the game.All talents (robot, cyborg, beast and monster) and free to use.
In general, more expensive weapons are better. But for more detail, consult the list that really should have come with the game.
I have no idea who the four people I have to find in Pureworld are or why I need them, and yet I'm having a good time with 3 lol.SaGa 3 is probably the most coherent A to B narrative in the series, and even that goes off the rails rather rapidly.
But the resource mines littering the map really seem to want me to stop and max out my/buy the best equipment.
Not sure where to ask this, so I figured I'd try here - I would like to emulate Wonderswan Color on some sort of handheld so I can try the fantranslation of SaGa 1. I have never downloaded a Wonderswan emulator before! I own a GBA, DS, PSP, 3DS, and Vita, and would be fine with any of those platforms, as I have either flashcarts or hacked systems for all of those. I downloaded eSwan (I think it's called) for PSP and in addition to not saving my game, the window is very small and not adjustable, plus there's weird code flashing in the upper left corner. I'm hoping for something better. Again, I don't want to play on my TV, any portable will do.
Can someone explain the plot to me? I have no idea what happened lol
I think the closest interpretation of concerns around RS2 battle rank that makes ANY sense to me is that if you run away a lot the rank will go up even though you're not getting stronger, which can be a problem. I fought way more battles on my second playthrough and it was generally a ton easier than my first, though obviously a fair share of that was having good ideas of where to go at certain times and spamming magic more to get spells earlier. (I highly recommend focusing on magic as early as possible, including using magic emperors at first when you start getting the choices, since it's one of the more obvious and important areas where you can become unable to finish improving by the end of the game) There are some rank-dependent encounters in the final tiers which are pretty difficult to get through unscathed, although many of them don't tend to appear outside of place you won't spend a long time, and can still just be avoided anyway. (and even if you accidentally reach a point where a miniboss-type battle spawns as something ridiculous it's still only one guy, at least...)It is probably my least favorite in this collection, though I still liked it a lot. I just liked the weird systems of the Kawazu-directed games. Speaking of - I'm going to be giving Romancing SaGa 2 another go soon. Similar to how I approached these games, with the helpful protips of Talking Time, any recommendations? I bounced off it because I wasn't sure what to do and how to level my characters, and IIRC I thought I read something about not leveling my characters too much, or something? Should I just jump into Romancing SaGa 3 instead?
You'll eventually get HP600s that raise your HP up to 600 (...yeah); if you want Human HP higher than that, you're better off going back to mass-buying HP200s. (You can actually raise human HP into the 2,000s. Don't do that. ~600 is plenty.)The HP items only give a decent chunk of max HP up until the max HP of the target reaches the number of the item. Above that they will only ever give max 1 HP per use. So once you get above 200 max HP the HP400 is more effective than the HP200.
