I don't have a job right now and I haven't played a lot of videogames this year so you know. I'm doing yet another solo Yattaf challenge. SaGa Frontier.
10/10
I'm not going to use a trick to get infinite money but I'm still checking faqs somewhat to grasp the mechanics. Did you know that Emelia, despite being the token gun character, has the lowest chance to learn gun skills in the game?
Despair prison is a pretty difficult first dungeon, especially since Yattaf has way worse stats than the two other Roufas' angels.
In a solo playthrough you can really appreciate how a single stat gain can change your life. In a few minutes, the bazooka found in the beginning of the dungeon went from total lifesaver to worse than 0WP slash attacks.
I still had to restart a lot of times, especially because of this kind of OP monster:
It's an ape on an unicycle and it's >>>> bazookas.
I tried using crappy punch attacks against weaker monsters to unlock enough skills to get the gift crown, which reduces the cost of every skill by 1. This got me a 0 WP Doubleslash for the boss. He wasn't too difficult with this, Deflect, a shield, and two cure items; just a standard attrition war.
After the first dungeon Roufas takes Yattaf to an italiant restaurant and she asks why they're in a warehouse. Life in prison was so harsh she can't tell the difference anymore, I guess. Roufas asks her to join his vigilante group, and she GTFO to raid the sewers and travel the world.
However whenever she goes to the airport she has an existential crisis and leave, so there's really not much choice but to go to join Roufas' angels. Or, you know. Raid the sewers. Which is what I'm doing right now. She doesn't have existential crisises there.
Learning abilities is very easy so far, somehow. I have 3/4ths of DSC and have just barely made it out of the first dungeon! Yattaf fanservice costumes are going to make this even easier, as they affect skill growth in a major way.
