Dragon's Crown (PS3/Vita) | Pro (PS4)

[Tobi]

If it's only on one character then I'll just go for it last I guess, unless I happen to get it naturally while playing my Sorc, doubt I'll get it on Elf instead. Probably gonna take a break from the game for few days to finally start up Xillia, just got black screen of death on a 15+ chain run, shit sucks hard Always some BS that happens to me during chain runs, be so glad when we get that patch JP recently got so I don't worry about it anymore.

[SilentGrief]

Were you playing online? I'm still worried if black screen is possible while playing offline.

I just started Xillia myself, it's pretty tough juggling, both of the games are great.

Any reason not to bring a full posse of AI? Frame-rate gone to shit on my Vita in most battles with a full group, would like an excuse to keep it to 1 partner max.

Enemies will have a lot more HP and AI partners generally tend to be useless unless they're way over leveled.

Yeah, I was online. AFAIK, the black screen thing only happens online, seems to be related to the crappy netcode. The new patch JP recently got fixed online quite a bit improving stability, on top of that, it also added a few other various things. Don't remember if it was brought up or posted, but this is what the update added:

- You can pickup hidden items with the finger cursor.

- The L1 button on PS3 and the L button on Vita can be used for item shortcuts.

- The dagger and bomb can be thrown diagonally by pressing the left stick up and pressing triangle.

- An added feature allows you to repair all of the items in your bag at once.

- The online menu has a feature to select an area so you can play with other adventures from the same region.

Atlus also made various tweaks to Dragon’s Crown to make it play better. One of these is making runestones more visible and expanding the number of arrows dropped if there are more Elves in the party.

Probably should have realized it but didn't on the enemy HP thing. Fuck ever bringing 3 AIs with me again, I can barely keep up with my character.

Anyone here play Fighter and know if Cover Allies boosts your own Attack as well as allies?

The description is wrong.
Any successful block preventing damage on yourself or allies will give (only) you the attack boost, shown as a blue fire aura.

Oh wow, that's definitely a taker then. Thanks!

lol I was wondering what that blue aura was for..

[-Zer0-]

Fighting the Killer Rabbit with bombs and Northern Knights is the best thing ever, lol. Such a good reference.

[SilentGrief]

Got the platinum. Around 52 hours.

Fighter is definitely my favorite class.

[-Zer0-]

Fighter's definitely beastly. Although I just got my ass handed to me attempting to solo the Ancient Dragon for the first time at level 34.

[Tobi]

Grats on the Plat. I haven't had any time to play due to FFXIV, but now that Phase 4 is done, back to finishing up my Elf and farming some endgame stuff on her and maybe try to work on cooking trophy again. I might try to finish up everyone story tomorrow by blitzing through with my Sorc as 2P.

[Katlan]

After you beat the ancient dragon on a difficulty, do you need to re-acquire the items again to refight him? It doesn't seem like you need to, but then on harder difficulties you can fight it w/o collecting any orbs. So do the orbs just weaken him? In w/case is he still weakened on subsequent kills on the same difficulty?

[Tobi]

You need to re-obtain the Talisman if you want to fight him again.

[SilentGrief]

This. You can fight him without collecting them all again, but you won't be able to do any damage to him.

[Moss]

This line gets me every time

[Tobi]

patch is now up for NA ver

PS3/Vita Cross-Play coming soon

Since launch, we've been hearing from our fans how much they wanted Cross-Play in Dragon's Crown. Vanillaware was focused on delivering the best game possible, so we couldn't include it at launch, but we've been supporting the title ever since! Now, we're stoked to tell you that Cross-Play is on its way to North America, and the update will be arriving very soon. Stay tuned for more details!

Good thing Dragon's Crown is on sale this week for $10 off!

JP version cross-play was just added this week.
