Let's Play Chrono Cross #028g - An Eye For Detail

In this episode, we take the amazing Eagle Eye for a test run at the Hydra Marshes, since we can explore more of it with the Green Tinkler.

As for my comments about buffs and debuffs, they are based on my own empirical observations. I do not have access to the code or algorithms to confirm that what I said is fact.

Recommended Setup:
Serge: Steel Swallow, Bronze Mail, Bronze Helmet, Silver Loupe, Magic Ring
L1: Cure, Revive, EagleEye-3, Strengthen-3
L2: Heal, Meteorite, ElectroJolt, MagmaBomb
L3: CurePlus
L4: HealAll

Glenn: Steel Sword, Bronze Mail, Bronze Helmet, Silver Loupe, Knee Pad
L1: Cure, EagleEye-3, Strengthen-3
L2: Heal Meteorite, ElectroJolt
L3: CurePlus, RecoverAll
L4: HealAll

Guile: Iron Rod, Iron Mail, Bronze Helmet, Dragoon's Honor, Dragoon Gauntlet
L1: EagleEye-3
L2: MagmaBomb
L3: Upheaval
L4: IceBlast

Thanks for watching!

HCBailly, I like how you complain in other games where status ailment affect bosses that it makes them too easy, but in this game where they don't affect bosses they are useless haha. :P

[HCBailly]

Square Enix needs to learn how to create a balance between the two. Don't give bosses a status weakness that is the equivalent of instant death, while at the same time making other status ailments worthwhile and even necessary to defeat a boss with some amount of strategy beyond the brute force method.

[AxelKyuubi]

Never bother with debuffs since they never seem to work well enough for the wasted element use/slot.

Now buffs was not sure on duration or if difference in element lv matter much so sort of kept them on stand by but didn't actually touch them. Needless to say was surprise to see that eye practically max hit, was not suspecting that huge of a buff base on the other buff/debuff observations.

Wonder if makes that 99 element pointless unless has longer duration.

[HCBailly]

The Ninety-Nine element actually fixes your Hit% to 99, whereas EagleEye increases it by a set amount. This usually results in EagleEye maxing out Hit%, but not always, depending on the evade of the enemy.

In any case, you are correct that Ninety-Nine is relatively useless.

I never knew the buffs worked that well. Ironically Guile's Eagle Eye would work best on an upcoming boss that this file won't face...

That's why I love your LPs... I always learn stuff I didn't know.

If you talk to Luccia first, she walks away, but if you give the Life Sparkle to NeoFio before talking to Luccia, you actually get a few paragraphs of extra dialogue.

I just tried that the other night on my playthrough; Luccia says something like "Oh? You have the Life Sparkle!", and after NeoFio wakes up, she thanks Luccia for creating her, but that she's going to travel with Serge.

[JustinDarkLord]

does it work if ur playing as serge in lynx body??

[supaultrapimp]

where is the dwarf!?!?

[aaronexe123]

@johutar I did the same thing

[aaronexe123]

@HCBailly I hot egale eye in viper manor cause one of those bulb things Luccia has you fight dropped it as a rare drop

[firebow333]

@NinoshotheLandmaster Chrono is time

[NinoshotheLandmaster]

Okay, great game, but when does the "Chrono" part come in?

[Lindaru]

I agree that Eagle Eye is amazingly broken in the game.

But it's amazing buff.

[GodOfPlague]

I gotta check out Nikki next I really did like him but guile is my favorite I never used Pierre.

[PrinceOSaiyans]

@HCBailly yeah like how you can use a blue magic spell that lowers the bosses level to a multiple of 5 and skipping the whole dialog for instance exdeath vs galuf

[adadd567]

@HCBailly the games Atlus creates make buffs and de buffs a MUST HAVE and i promise they are more than enough challenge
