Me entering this thread: "Yeah, I mean, Ep4 is a shit story where some dumb broad with a personality as flat as her chest forces herself into the protagoni-- DEAR GOD WHAT"

To be honest, I've been clawing at the idea of the player character becoming the vessel for Dark Falz since PSO1. They were always just thrown aside as a side character in favor of some mindless loser whose personality was all over the place, awkwardly, or had no personality, at all. coughepisode4coughshitsugicough. Instead of an alternate timeline, Persona's presence should be considered an inevitability for the player character, that they would become Dark Falz.

Allow me to give more detail on them, based on Coldreactive's comments.

Hearing electric crackling, followed by a heartbeat, usually denotes a Vizbolt E-trial that can be triggered somewhere on the map. Sometimes, it's a Judgement E-trial (Disabling bombs). The normal buzzing followed by a heartbeat denotes a Baize E-trial that could happen in the map, somewhere. Lillipan Screams are usually the Rescue/Gesture E-trials, or in the abandoned mine, the E-trial where you have to protect villages. The whooshing effet that is accompanied by an effect along the bobrder of your scream indicates a boss that doesn't have a distinct cry. HEARING a cry denotes a boss, too, but at least you know what boss it is. Additionally, on the floating continent and in the city, if you hear the Quartz Dragon's cry, you usuallyt get a chance to use your Action button to view it flying around in a circle, off in the distance. A crystal-sounding effect along with prismatic ripples indicates a crystal Defense E-trial. THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. They are difficult, as the crystals don't have much health, and tend to spawn about 5-6 of them throughout the E-trial. If two break, you fail. But if you complete it, PSE Triggers go through the roof, and if you're in a large party, a 4-way Cross Burst with at LEAST Two WAN MORs is guaranteed.

There's also a variation of the first one, along with the sound effect that sounds similar to a Gilnach using its heal ability right at the end. This indicates a Clone E-trial, nearby. They're very rare, and only happen in Single-party areas.

It would also be HIGHLY advisable to use something other than a Gunblade, too. They are objectively poor in damage output, compared to other weapons.

9 year JP vet here.

I'm playing NA because I've had numerous friends holding off for the NA version, and wouldn't join me on JP. That, and I wanna see and hear how everything was localized. Kind of like watching a dubbed anime after watching the sub.

Wow, this is idiotic. Getting pissy over an event for a natural holiday? Then by that logic, you should get pissy over the White Day and Lunar Celebration events, since they're national holidays in Japan. Grow the hell up.

I don't use rewasd. I set up my binds, directly.

So, I'm sitting on over 100 badges, and I figured I'd see if I can get the invisible weapon camo. I go to turn in my badges, and when I try to turn the number up to 100 to turn them in, nothing happens. It just sits at zero, yet it displays that I have enough, and I can't exchange it. Any idea on what to do?

Now, hear me out, what if there was an option to have a way to be able to take screenshots that look really good? like--

"But Pun! We have the fixed cameras and filters! Why are you suggesting something like /gpose from FF14? We already have it!"

....Like Captura, from Warframe. We have single cell areas, and we're free to spawn in NPCs as we see fit, from our Auxilaries, to enemies, to the raid bosses, provided the environment is appropriate. Now, this seems a bit shallow, right away, but we can make it to a degree where we earn it. I would suggest tickets that drop from enemies for the environments. Make these tickets a rare drop, at a 10* rank. An alternative is to have it where the environments unlock when you complete the respective exploration missions on every difficulty. As for the raid bosses, like Elder and Luther, a ticket could drop from them, for their little arenas, where you can have them present. Elder would be only available at his arena, and Luther would be only available at his.

As for its mechanics, aside from spawning in NPCs, you can make them do specific motions or attacks, and freeze them in their animations. For example, Luther. Not many people can whip up a camera of a low angle of them frozen in time, midair, and off to the side, facing Luther, within the little bit of time that's given to break out and bust all of the swords. Also, who wouldn't want a picture of them surrounded by Darkers-- I mean Falspawn, making it look like they have a slim chance of survival? It could even be used to write out a story, for those that like to play out a tale for their characters.

What do you all think?

Is that so? I could give you my layout, if you'd like, and make it easier on you, if need be.
