Getting my ass kicked by this Thunderbird Unique Monster on the very top of this mountain that you can access from the Desert area and climb up the vines.
I just went back to do that (I'm a few levels above so it should be easy now), but he somehow managed to make half of my party fall off of the fucking mountain and die so that's fun

I think I'm near the end of chapter 4, got to literal steps before what seemed like a climactic boss location only to realize by newest Hero Class was locked for all but the inheritor and wasn't gaining CP, so went back to do that quest which assumes unlocks the class for the party.

So far the game is astoundingly better than XB1 and 2 at the same point on the games. Obviously things can change but it's not even close right now.

I went around all the colonies at the start of Chapter 4 and already have 9 side quests to do. I think the Colony 30 quests would've popped up in Chapter 3 if I had gone back after hitting 3* affinity, though.

Also yeah, my CP gain has really slowed down and the three most recent jobs are barely unlocking for people. :(

I honestly can't tell if I'm doing well with chain attacks or not. I'm still in chapter 3 - I always get the full amount of rounds but I often struggle to hit Bravos and above (much easier now since getting Teach so I'm guessing heroes just make a huge difference) but I'm hearing people say how they're averaging over 1000% damage and hitting for millions meanwhile I've topped out at like 170k. Am I missing something or is the other type of order I'm guessing that unlocks by plot actually that huge of a gamechanger?

I'm in this boat as well. I still dont know what the ouroboros chain is, I only ever get the normal ones. Im guessing you need to unlock those before getting crazy damage out of them.

Are you only level 55? Not sure you'll be doing multi-millions regularly until you're in the 60s. You also want specific classes to maximize damage, and to have specific people with those classes (Taion has the highest base TP, if you haven't noticed).

Grind less? You'll unlock more and unlock getting up to 20 by proceeding in the story, and you shouldn't be fighting too many enemies.

In that case, I'd just recommend avoiding the side quests that're above your level, haha. Should prevent being too overleveled for the main quest too.

Oh, one more tip with the Chain Attack thing - always make sure to use the Hero card when it appears. It doesn't consume chain attack gauge, so that's how you get four rounds. I feel like the game might say this in a tutorial somewhere, but I'm not totally sure.

Another tip for reducing being overleveled - disable overkill in the menu. Should reduce XP gains fairly significantly...

The only time you shouldn't use the hero card is on turn 3 if you've already used your partners for card 1 and 2, because even though it doesn't take a turn it does erase your Ouroborous card if it's being offered at the same time.

Well, you should also not use partners for 1 and 2 after you unlock ouroboros cards. Never use the partner's card before turn 3, or turn 4 if you used a hero card.

I was seeing serious lags in my characters unlocking new classes, but then I did the side battles for the Alexandria quest while still being a few levels below them. Then after that I was curious and managed to take down one of those level 46 dinos while my party was at 38. Finishing most of those fights with overkills cleared that issue right up, lol.

Consul J really don't give a shit about overleveling

I mean I guess I'm only up on him 2 levels but I've been cakewalkin' til this very moment

party being set on random assortment for leveling up tho probably doesn't help, fight definitely wants you to take care of that Bleed with War Medic's Cure Bullet but mine wasn't assigned so basically just blitzing the first quarter of HP by liberally swapping to Eunie Ouroboros for mass healing until Chain Attack's ready... which woah that Chain Attack did much more damage than I expected even with new mechanic.

sad I didn't kill with it (like 4% left) but fuck man I just want that fight over RIP bonus xp

I always go for the overkill against Rare/Uniques and Bosses, or try to atleast. Sometimes I dont press the + fast enough. Thought it was the fastest way to level up classes? Though I dont think I have a problem being overleveled, Hard Mode. I dont fight enemies unless they aggro.

Thanks for the chain attack tips! Regarding hard mode, after trying it from the beginning I ultimately settled into playing normal and banning myself from ever touching bonus exp. Feels pretty good and seems a lot easier to gauge what's actually an appropriate challenge when you can just check if you're at level.

On the other hand hard mode does seem like it'd probably be reasonably tuned if you do use bonus exp so that's kind of nice that it's there in the event of over leveling. Still kinda wish they just gave us an equivalent of expert mode from the other games to make it a complete nonissue.

I've done all of the Ascension quests except for...two I think.

And the answer to this question is....Yes. That's the only one that's that dull and repetitive.

Two of the main party side stories are story gates, you can't miss them.
The other four are conversation quests that become available from Chapter 5-7 depending on the characters. I think Eunie and Taion are Chapter 5, Lanz is Chapter 6, and Sena is Chapter 7. I forget where exactly the triggers are for the quests, but I know one was in the City, and another I had gotten from one of the random island camps.

I got Ouroboros Orders, woot! Am I missing something or is using the double Ouroboros Order from starting a chain attack during Interlink Level 3... kind of a waste? Like yeah getting two Ouroboros Orders is bananas but that's *all* you get and you start from the minimum damage multiplier to boot. Seems like it would almost always be better to just do a full chain attack, wouldn't it?
